At what point do you think I should become concerned that they won't be arriving?

I never "expect" glasses from any of the stores before 15 business days (3 weeks). I'm often happily surprised around 10 or so.

You'll get them.

thanks for your comment.

Send a message right away to glassyeyes@goggles4u.com.

I just had to re-order 2 new pairs from the site and I wasn't charged for them. I used the general service email on their site, not the one Ira mentioned. They were very apologetic and my glasses are in route only after 4 days of placing the replacement order.

Oh, and yes anywhere from 2 to 3 weeks is generally expected for delivery.

It's great to have an extra pair on hand so bent frames, etc, aren't an emergency.

Thanks for spreading the word, I had no idea this was an option till I heard about your blog!

I thank you all for your help.

I emailed the glassyeyes customer service address on Saturday. I received an email later that day asking for me to send a scan of my prescription, which I did immediately. Haven't heard anything back since.

Sent an email to the general customer service address requesting help. Received another email asking me to send a scan of my prescription (?!?) which I did. Still am not getting help.

I ordered sunglasses specifically to take with me on my vacation, which begins in one week. It's looking like i'm going to be completely sunglass-less. i'm sure i'll have a fine time with my eyes closed.....

I was not looking forward to paying 200+ for a pair of glasses. :) I would have done so, but if I can find something cheaper that will work for me, I'd rather do that. So, thanks. :) Now I need to figure out how to get my prescription to them...
