The people at GlassesShop have been emailing me for about a year now to take a look at them. I resisted, as there wasn't much that they provided that the others didn't.
I'm a firm believer that too much choice leads to paralysis.
My attitude changed when I wanted a new pair of sunglasses and couldn't find what I was looking for at any of my usual haunts, and had sizing issues at a few others. I figured it might be time to try something new and potentially fill a spot on the roster. Let's call this a "try-out".
I didn't find exactly what I was looking for at GlassesShop either, but they were the closest -- something I happily live with at these prices.
I ordered the "Addison-F7020", but really dislike the idea of a clip-on sunshade, so I ordered them with an 80%-Green lens. A day after the order I got an email verifying that I wanted them tinted even with the clip-on. I explained what I wanted and they made them. I'll hang onto the sunshade in the very-unlikely event that I ever become the kind of guy who could pull-off something like these with clear lenses.
They arrived 10 days later -- mighty fast. I like the style even better than I thought I would, so I'm very happy*.
Here is the unboxing.
Overall, I'm very impressed. I'll order again in the next month or so and compare. If you have any existing input or decide to order from GlassesShop, let me know how it went.
I'll be posting a site review in the next few days.

Here is the unboxing.
| BIG, fancy, highly visible, box. I thought I only ordered ONE pair of glasses! |  |
 | Opening the box to reveal an orderly array of... lots of stuff packed in a well-padded foam inlay.This is the most impressive delivery yet. Not sure I need (or want) it to be this over the top. |
| Well packaged. No breakage or scratches.It's a very nice case which fit perfectly in the foam box insert. Not a lot of room for contents to "shift in transit". |  |
 | Box flotsam.Not exactly sure what the "Care starts from eyes" means on the booklet.Also, the bag is strange in that it's rubbery. Not a clue what I'd use it for. |
| The glasses (and the sunshade). Both are nice.The frame has spring hinges and feels very solid. I really like the dark green lenses too -- another first for my collection. |  |
 | The temple says "FUMING". I'm not exactly fuming over this, but it is one of my biggest pet peeves.*I don't like labels on my stuff -- especially silliness like this. It wasn't visible in the photo.Going to test the inside of the temple with acetone to see if I can remove it without affecting the finish. |
