- Eyedictive is NOT an authorized reseller for any of the brands they carry so the manufacturer is not obligated to honor any warranty claims.
- The products they sell are discontinued styles and obsolete inventory
- The only contact info available for them is a PO box.
- Customer must pay return shipping for any returns
- Many SD users have said that the product they received was fake
- If you still decide to buy, compare prices with other online merchants before buying because their prices aren't always very good and what they claim is the "regular price" is a complete joke.
- Eyedictive deals are always posted by SD Staff so approach with caution.
Personally, I stay away from these "deals". Too many red flags.

I don't know if they're fake (Dragon brand) or if there is a warranty. I don't know that I care.
But that's me and a small sample of 1…
(Obviously I joined SD back in 2007 and have posted numerous times about hundreds of deals since with the sole reason to shill for a website I care nothing about. My evil plan is finally coming to its culmination…)
Edit: I lied. I forgot about the Gunnar's I bought from ED for my kid. They also lived up to expectations.

So might not technically be "fake", but they're not actually glasses you could find elsewhere, and possibly far cheaper/crappier than the officially branded ones.
The $30 glasses I got from them were horribly cheap, and far worse than the $20 (on sale) Shady Rays or the $14 all-day-long Amazon ones. Of course, if all you care about is a (possibly fake) logo, then by all means go for it.

Grey-market: Low prices (due to outdated models of name brands), no warranty, extremely limited customer service, customer pays for return, return needs to include everything shipped with no or minor issue.
Authorized seller: Full price or minimal discount, warranty, support, customer service, potentially free return, return can be no questions asked.
Another major point is on price. People are perceiving/thinking "high-end" glasses, so high prices - this is not true unless you buy from an authorized seller but 3rd party/grey-market prices will be much lower. Eyedictive pricing is nothing special (and even higher than other online stores, e.g. Jomashop). There are many stores including Amazon that sell these at similar prices.
Case in point for Lacoste. Lacoste signed Novak Djokovic as their main brand ambassador, given their tennis history, spending a massive sum. They redesigned lot of these sunglasses (prices $175-$250)/other products. These earlier models were dumped with grey-market, hence the $30-$35 prices. Lacoste and Novak are looking to break due to the AusOpen saga (they are reducing Novak branded now) - but that is another story.
Check out their reviews online, they are pretty favorable.

Anything positive means you're automatically a shill. Questioning the negativity also means that you're a shill.
