This was just my experience. Others have noted to being given full value in their warranty.

Side note: Smith Optics will only warranty the sunglasses at the value of what you paid.
Example: I purchased some glasses for $99 ($180 retail), when the hinge screw kept falling out I reached out to warranty. They didn't have the same glasses in the same color left in stock so they offered me $99+ tax voucher. That voucher only worked on full price items. I couldn't get the same glasses in a different color frame, I couldn't use it on sale items.
I found that super annoying, it's a cheap loop hole and glasses don't cost that much to make in the first place.

Do you know if the returns are only a voucher? I don't see anything on their return page that says anything about how the refund is issued.

I used the warranty about 6 months ago for a pair that I got for $33 that retailed for $179. I had no issues. I sent them the glasses to be inspected and they emailed me instructions for redeeming the $179 credit. I just picked a different pair and they had them to me within a week.

Love Eye Dictive, I have at least 6 pairs from there. They have yet to let me down, one of the few websites for shopping I check daily.

So you took 3 different pairs of sunglasses on your trip? I call bs on that.
Go ahead. You would be wrong. It was a multi-stop cruise and you might be more inclined to believe me if you saw the number of bags that the family had. EEK!

BTW....if I were going to make something up, I think it would be to list higher-end sunglasses in the comparison.

I bought a pair from Smith on sale for $140 and a few years later did a warranty return- they gave me credit for $219.00 towards a new pair.

Seems like you both had a better experience than I did. I'll edit my post as being just my experience as it obviously differs.

The markup on glasses is insane. My girlfriend is an eyewear rep and Smith is one of her lines. These clinics will triple the price on frames, even more.

Quote from lottathought :
Smith Optics are one of the few brands not owned by the Luxottica consortium. This is the bunch that has caused the inflation prices for sunglasses. So do not be fooled by the price.
I have a pair of Chromapops. To be honest, when I first got them, I was a little underwhelmed.
I just thought they were a little large on my face. I then took a trip. And it seemed like the Smiths were the pair that I reached for again and again...even though I had a pair of Raybans and a pair of Oakleys.
By the end of the trip, I realized that I had misjudged them. They were actually a great pair of glasses and one of my favorite pairs at that time. They were never unseated until Williampainter came along.
While they are not owned by Luxottica, they are owned by Safilo Group which is the #2 largest conglomerate. A bit like saying "this isn't walmart [but it is kroger]" for what it's worth... and that change happened about 8 years ago when they moved Smith from Ketchum, ID to SLC (had a friend that worked for them, back in about 2013 or so).

With that said – I still do love Smith's style and build quality and I have had great success in warranty with them. Their quality is really good (like all brands they make lower mid and upper, I would stick to their mid-upper for things like goggles), I love the chromapop with polarized (note, not all chromapop is polarized) and as a ski and snowboard instructor years ago, I'd blow through goggles working every day on the mountain (one pair a season at least) and Smith really took care of us (post buy-out). As others note, they commonly will give you the price paid as credit, and then you use their store at retail. While I understand that isn't exactly Costco return policy, when brands like REI did away with all but 1 year and even Patagonia is more likely to say they'll take it and recycle it but not replace, to me it's a great deal. Last season, I got around $100 credit for 6 year old goggles I'd used a lot and paid $50 difference to get a really nice brand new pair that was an upgrade from my old ones. Don't be greedy, to me that's way better than the nothing most brands give you (or warranties that never actually cover anything when you try). While yes, "sunglasses don't cost a ton to make" there's a lot more to business than manufacture costs, and they are wayyyy better quality than the Walmart fishing glasses and similar (I own a couple pair to lose).

I've bought a couple times from EyeDictive no complaints. They don't provide return shipping for returns, that's the one thing people aren't stoked on but you're getting cheap deals at I'd bet slim margins.

The Forge matte black arrived a few days ago and I am impress with the quality. It comes with a good case and a pouch. The sunglasses appear to be good quality; the fit for me was fine. Only thing I wear contacts with sunglasses and I wear contacts less and less oftem. Most of the time I wear progressive glasses with photochromatic lenses so they double as sunglasses. Still glad I bought it for the few times when I will be using them.
