Eyedictive.com[eyedictive.com] has Select Lacoste Polarized Sunglasses on sale for $57 - an additional $20 Off when you apply Promo Code 4YUCD7VF20 at checkout = $37 Shipping is free
Lot of questions on the authenticity of items bought from this seller.
Personally fell for a prior SD Staff Influencer promoted "deal" from EyeDictive, wrote to Timberland about the product i received and was told EyeDictive is not an authorized reseller and that they have an active fraud investigation.
YMMV but take these great prices on "name brand" sunglasses with grain of salt.
Guarantee there will be mix of comments saying 1. I got fakes! Or 2. I've ordered before and mine are real. Majority of people can't tell genuine from decent knockoffs.
Despite what you write, do not be thrown off that they are selling $190 Lacoste at $57 (now with a promo at $37). These glasses sell for $50-$70 everywhere - that is the marketprice -and will be $190 only at the Lacoste website. Same with all other brand sunglasses. The prices they sell are generally par for the course, not really a massive discount.
They are similar to grey-market watch sellers like Jomashop, Ashford, chrono24, etc. Jomashop, one of the largest and major grey-market seller, sell these sunglasses at similar prices.
Any purchase from a grey-market seller carries some risk. The actual manufacturer/brand warranty or support will not be applicable. The grey-market seller tends not to have a big customer service department. So, if any issues, at most there will be a very short window (15-30 days) to return. So, if one doesn't like the product received, do not waste time on support calls, exchanges - just return the product for a refund.
Here we go again. for those who claim they sell fakes, can you provide more details? Just because they aren't an authorized dealer doesn't mean they sell fake. I bought few pairs from them and never had issues
I use to do product desing for a sunglasses wholesale company. The factories we bought from had molds from brand name companies they would leverage. They would also occasionally sell us lots that were made for other countries with lower quality at a discounted rate.
These could be legit but lower quality. Or they could be fake. As someone posted before, if you don't want to risk it stay away.
I personally only buy either completely legit from authorized places, or $10 mall sunglasses because they are what they are and don't claim to be anything else.
Buyer pays for return shipping.
The pair of sunglasses I bought did not fit.
Seller stipulates you must use us post office for returns.
I hate waiting in line at post office.
I own one of these Lacoste sunglasses that are 100% legit (purchased retail from a national distributor). At $37, I'm going to buy a second pair of the same glasses. It's worth the risk, and I'll be able to tell whether or not they are authentic pretty quickly.
I ordered them what I thought was a great deal and then I just did a random Google search for the same pair and found them for $3 less on Amazon all year round from the Lacoste store. They also have them in Multiple colors like black and silver instead of blue and yellow I preferred. $34.00 Bucks on Amazon.

Exactly. As I wrote earlier, these prices are par for the course. Nothing special about eyedictive prices - you can get the same glasses (legit stock) at many other places. In fact, Amazon might have a mix of fakes from 3rd party sellers.
If you want manufacturer warranty/support (mostly 1year), buy at manufacturer or mall stores at 3-5x the price these grey market sellers sell. It is rare to use that warranty/support for sunglasses though (which is actually more easier to deal with credit card purchase protection).
The other comments I have seen is saying fake Ray-Ban because it is made in China and not in Italy. But then, some Ray-Ban models are made in China.

They have been heavily scrutinized with hundreds of people complaining about their fakes right here on SD.
The only reason we even see this company is because they pay SD to post their deals. If SD had the same set of standards for "affiliates" as they do for third party amazon sellers, we would never even see this website posted. Anything for a buck.
In fact, next time someone reports to Timberland or Lacoste about these fakes and Eyedictive, make sure to let them know who the enabler is…Slickdeals.
Isnt this advertising ? Why Slickdeals need to verify seller reputation ?
I've bought a couple pairs of Smith from them. In fact, I had a pair of Smith polarized get delaminated when on an off-road mud buggy trip. Sent them directly into Smith under Smith's lifetime warranty, along with EyeDictive receipt, and they warranted them and send me a brand new replacement pair. If they were counterfeit, or EyeDictive wasn't legit, I'm thinking Smith would have not honored the warranty.
So I'm thinking EyeDictive is legit, at least in my experience of getting several pairs, no counterfeits for me.
