They promised to ship them to me. This was July 18th. I followed up a few weeks later via WhatsApp and they were ‘ready at the store’ but offered to ship them for free. They let me know that it should take a week to ten days, but they occasionally have customs issues. Whomever handles their WhatsApp chat is extremely kind and professional. It took several days to receive tracking, they were delayed in US customs a few days (they handled this all on their end) and arrived today. They shipped ‘no signature required’, so $800 worth of glasses were on the driveway when I got home from Pilates. When I tried them on, something is not correct. The top portion is blurry, so I fear that they made me full readers vs the progressives that I ordered. Thankfully, I will be back in Paris in mid September and then again in late October, but it’s been an interesting experience, but at least their team has been kind and easy to work with.","subreddit":"glasses"},{"url":"https://www.reddit.com/r/sunglasses/comments/1swyqkx/opinion_on_jimmy_fairly_sunglasses/oq0h1b7/","type":"comment","title":"Direct feedback on Jimmy Fairly Elvie sunglasses","author":"Redroses4moi","ref_id":"r_e_4","thread":{"url":"https://www.reddit.com/r/sunglasses/comments/1swyqkx/opinion_on_jimmy_fairly_sunglasses/","title":"opinion on jimmy fairly sunglasses","subreddit":"sunglasses"},"excerpt":"I have a pair of the Elvie sunglasses.
