Don't worry about their website. It is a site with no traffic data available on Alexa and a Google rating of 0,

Therfore it is not listed in search engines. Poeple will not find their website unless they advertise it in Newspapers

Anyone want to see the ad? PM or fax me. I will be glad to fax you a copy.

I didn't see Varilux anywhere on the link you posted. However, if you have another link with pricing information (that's where I assume the Varilux reference is), please post or email it to me and I'll turn it over to our legal team- who are usually pretty good at getting these sort of things resolved pretty expediently.

As Chris pointed out, this site is probably getting little or no traffic. If it were, someone would have pointed it out before and it would be shut down.

Thanks,
Pete

I am not shure about website but they doing tremendos bussines in NY area.
They sell pretty good closeout and current frames. They buy them in huge quantaties and sell them verry quickly. They recently raised their prices from $29 to $39 and they also have a higher price package for 69 I think.
I actualy bought some frames from them at few occasions.
I purchased Fred, Kata, and others for $20
The store is always full and they have OD full time.
They do have few problems.
They dont finish poly on premises.
Dont have good stock SV lenses.
Their surface lab is too slow.
They dont do higher power RX!?

Wow Lenny,
For you the world! At those prices I think you need to wait a little longer! Just goes to show "I want it now" is not the only sales strategy that makes money!

:hammer:

Hey People !
You should see the jobs coming out of there!
46 eye metal frame with 2mm in decentration adapts OU +3.75-1.25 RX with stock finished lenses.
The small problem is one lens is 60 mm and the other 75 mm in diameter.
The job looks perfect.
This makes them easy to compete to!

If it looks perfect ...................... will the customers see the difference?

Yeah, when they look THROUGH the glasses! That's when the mistakes show up.

Paw,

If you have 2 lenses of the same power would you not admit the difference between an original uncut 60mm and a 70mm lens would be rather the thickness than the power.

Therefore I would assume that you would rather have to look AT them instead as you quote Through them.
