Forum Archive

You're at the forum archive. The forums were taken down years ago due to some unfortunate astroturfing attempts by a couple retailers. At the time, I was very concerned about exposing readers to a bunch of input-that-might-be-fake, or creating a situation where the well-behaved retailers were at a disadvantage.

However, because a number of readers had posted helpful comments & reviews, and I didn't want to see it all vanish into oblivion permanently, I kept a backup around. What you're seeing now is that backup (almost 7 years old now - don't ask how I managed to get it running again...). Things are a bit scattered, and you can't post anything new (the buttons have all been disabled), but the original content is here if you're interested.

An individual sent me an email asking to post their experience in the forums. They sent the following:

I cannot recommend Selectspecs. My glasses came on time and the price seemed right. However, upon opening the packaging, there was a very strong, offensive chemical odor accompanying the glasses. I ‘aired them out’ for two days, but could still smell them across three rooms in an open air apartment. I must say that after 2-3 days, the airborne odor had diminished some. But later, after wearing the glasses for about an hour, the odor was on my skin and hair. Since there is only a 7-day time for returns, I emailed the problem and returned the glasses, asking the company to check for toxic paint: this company ships direct from Hong Kong, so I worried about China’s record for substituting toxic chemicals in order to hold down costs. Otherwise, I asked them to replace the glasses as defective OR to return them to me with a full disclosure on the chemicals used in the preparation of the lenses. I suspect the photo-chromatic coating was the source of the odor. I got no satisfaction on any request. The customer service was borderline polite and stonewalled reasonable efforts to get what I had ordered. They came out ahead, keeping over $90 for which I have nothing to show for.

Try a different online company, my husband did and he got two great pairs of glasses stateside.
