Not buying from manufactures

[iD]

Has anybody bought frames that don't come straight from manufactures?

I was browsing for new brands and saw a website that has frames from major manufactures (marchon, luxottica, safilo,) and even not so major ones like Matsuda, Dita, Etnia Barcelona. Are these legit or have you had any experience with them?

I have looked at them, the main thing to consider is warranty. If warranty products are a selling point for you I wouldn't purchase from them. But that's just me.

I wonder if it's a buying group? It could be handy if you have a patient that needs a frame from a manufacturer you don't have an account with.
