PROBLEM

There is a very big misconception about buying sunglasses online. Customers feel that they can’t try them on and they don’t know what they are getting. They feel the colors that they see online differ from what they look like in real life.

SOLUTION

Visit your local sunglasses store who stocks all your favorite brands. Choose the item you like and try it on. Make sure you love it and make sure that you write down the MODEL # and the COLOR CODE. Most sunglasses have the following 3 identifiers on the side of the frame. Here is an example:

  As you can see this is a Prada SPR55H. The model # is always located on the leftmost part of the frame. The center digits and numbers are the color code and size. In this example 7JY-8C1 is the color code for this frame. There are last and middle sets of digits are the frame size.  In this example it’s a 63 x 12 and 120. 63 is a eye (glass) size and 12 is a bridge size. 120 is a temple length. Frames often come in a variety of sizes. Higher numbers equal larger frames. Frame size measurements are always in millimeters. Frame size is often a personal preference and most frame sizes accommodate the average head. If needed, adjustments for a comfortable custom fit can be made by any optical store in your area. The sizes could be represented in a different order for different brands. Below you will find an example of frame size.

 
Once you establish the item you wish to purchase, write down the specs and go home.

Log onto SunglassExpo.com and locate the frame. If we don’t have the item on the site we can get it for you. We deal with 20-30 vendors’ nationality and can get ANY BRAND and ANY ITEM in a day or so.

THE TRUTH ABOUT PRICES.

Let’s look at the above example which is a PRADA SPR 55H. 

Website Sale for this frame:

The list price on these frames is $160. List price means what we pay for them from PRADA. This is the price that the factory sells it to us for. 

We mark up the item anywhere from $20-$30 and sell it for the listed price of $189.99 as we include FREE SHIPPING. 

We don’t pay any rent and we don’t have any overhead costs so we are able to sell them as cheap as possible

Now let’s take an example of a department store selling these same exact frames. 

The MSRP (Manufacturer Suggested Retail Price) for these frames is $329.63.  Prada is basically telling the stores to sell at these prices. That means they bought it for $160 and now you are going to pay $330 ?? That’s over 100% overpayment. They do this because they need to pay for staff, rent, utilities and expenses that WE DON’T HAVE. 

Retail shops are nothing more than a rip-off . Never shop with a store for the same item that you can buy online for ½ price.  That’s like buying 2 pairs of sunglasses for the price of 1. 

We hope you learned a valuable lesson about shopping online for sunglasses.

Tips on Finding the Right Pair of Designer Sunglasses.

Finding just the right pair of sunglasses is not easy. There are thousands of brands, styles and colors to choose from online or in your local sunglasses retail store. You want a style that looks great, offers maximum protection for your eyes, and sunglasses that are going to last. Here are some great tips on finding the sunglasses that are right for you.

Shop Online for Sunglasses

Probably the best place to find a vast selection of sunglasses is on the Web. There are retailers online that offer every brand of sunglasses you can imagine - Maui Jim Sunglasses, Prada Sunglasses, Oakley Sunglasses, Ray Ban Sunglasses, Bvlgari Sunglasses, Dior Sunglasses and more! Some of these retailers also offer related items such as goggles or watches. So, you can do all your shopping in one place, and never have to leave your home!

Finding a Style that Suits You

Every person's facial shape is unique. Designer Sunglasses that look great on one person will look "not so great" on another. That's why it is important to search for Designer Sunglasses that look great on you. Don't choose sunglasses just because someone you know has a pair. Make sure you choose a style that looks great with your skin tone, shape of face, nose shape, and hair.

Tip: If you have a long, slender nose and chin, then small, round sunglasses with a thin frame would look better than large, thick glasses. The opposite is true if you have a round-shaped face and a very small nose.

A Variety of Colors

Sunglasses come in a variety of colors, from pink and orange to green and purple. Choose a color that goes well with your hair and skin color. If you enjoy matching your sunglasses with your outfits, choose several pair in different colors for a variety.

Sunglasses with UV Protection

UV protection (ultraviolet ray protection) is important if you plan to be outdoors any length of time. Your eyes are very sensitive to the rays of the sun whether you realize it or not. Without UV protection, your eyes are exposed to harmful ultraviolet rays that could do permanent damage to your retina.

There are many types of Designer Sunglasses available online in different styles and colors that offer 100% UV protection. Though these may cost more than your average discount store sunglasses, they are going to protect your eyes, which are irreplaceable at any price! Also, sunglasses with UV protection are usually made to last, so you're getting two fabulous benefits in one.

The great thing about shopping online for items like sunglasses, watches and goggles is you get to pick and choose from many brand names such as Maui Jim Sunglasses, Oakley Sunglasses, Ray Ban Sunglasses and Prada Sunglasses, and from all sorts of styles and colors to fit your needs. And, you can take time in the privacy of your home to shop around until you find the perfect sunglasses.
