And my wife has a nasty habit of misplacing glasses. So we have (literally) 10 pair of glasses floating around the house/cars for her.
21 year old son has maybe 8 pair himself.
And this is all a LOT cheaper than buying just one expensive pair at Costco or wherever.
We've had two issues with our Zenni orders. One they took care of promptly and one I just got too lazy to contact them about, so I just forgot about it (since we have so many.)
All in all, I'm a fan.
Edit: because I just get the cheap included lenses most of the time these days, this sale doesn't really help me much. Typically they'll offer a BF or Cyber Monday deal of like 20% off everything. That's what I've been waiting for before I order a couple more pair.

The quality seems generally the same for comparably priced frames imo.
I did have an issue with Zenni selling a pair of frames that were a few mm smaller than described which essentially made them children glasses. I should have read all the reviews since most of them were complaining about the same thing. I guess it was within their margin of error though.
It's more of a gamble buying frames online since it can be difficult to see their actual size. Zenni does an exceptionally terrible job of providing any sort of scale to compare their glasses to. They are all shown against a white background with absolutely no images of people wearing them. All the images are also not sized relative to each other so a pair of really small children glasses can show up bigger than adult sized. It's also not that easy to use the measurements to estimate the size since frames only have certain measurements to go by and in many cases they don't tell the whole story.
Click the option for try these on...it shows you models wearing the frame or you can upload a photo of yourself to model. 🙂
Just tried looking at eyebuydirect and no such option.
There's a thread where KITS it's offering a pair of glasses for shipping cost. Ordered a pair for my daughter for $4.95 the shape that she had been wanting.

The result is excellent.
Be sure to get your near and far pupillary distance (PD) measured by a qualified optician or optometrist before you order. You can measure it yourself with Zenni's online-based method, but for progressive lenses you might want to ask an optician for help.
I've bought from them maybe 4-5 times now and have been pleased. They cut my lenses wrong once but stood behind them and replaced them at no cost for lenses or return shipping etc.

Good info here. I did acquire my PD when I got my exam. Although, I found it confusing as it was to high numbers 62/64. I reached out to Zenni last night to clarify and they responded that the higher number of 64 is for distance and 62 would be my near PD. And since I'm ordering progressive lenses I would use my distance PD. You only use the near PD when ordering reading glasses per zenni. I had a issue with my PD last time I ordered 🤓 . Had to send them back to be readjusted. Hopefully that won't be the case this time.

I've since used goggles4u more because they have more styles and usually have much better discounts. If you look hard enough, you can probably find a discount for twice as much off as this...
