Ray-Ban sunglasses question

[kag]

I want to buy a pair of RB3183 but Sunglass Hut in Canada sells them for $210 and I find them everywhere on the internet for $50-$100 less.

I was just wondering if Ray-Ban glasses come in many sizes? I tried a pair in store and they fit perfectly, and I want to make sure if I order from the internet, I'm going to receive a pair that fits the same.

And also, any trustable sites for buying these online?

Thanks!

Make sure they are the same model. If they are, they do NOT come in different sizes. However, they make many models that are similar but the lenses sometimes are wider/thicker that may affect the overall look of the shades on your face.

Edit: Dunno about man online sites that are reputable for selling shades but bluefly.com sells a few designer shades, not sure if they have the pair you are looking for.

Hmmm... I don't know of any sunglass stores online in Canada, but you could also try searching for those exact subglasses in the hundreds of "optical" stores. I got my Maui Jims where I get my glasses.

If it's the same model, there really shouldn't be a size difference (I've never noticed any; the guy in the store just "adjusts" them for me).

Well as long as they are RB3183 it should be alright, right?

I'll check bluefly.com

Just one more thing to think about if you plan on buying online: check their return policies.

Maybe I'm a glasses nazi cause I've been wearing them so long, but when I went sunglass hunting last Fall (finally went back to contacts), I had to return 2 pairs that I initially liked at the store. After actually wearing them for a few hours, one of them had really cheap plastic/rubber that made a nasty grinding noise when rubbing against skin. The other pair had crappy lenses that were reflecting light off my face, making it blurry along with the already bad distortion of the plastic. These were cheap pairs, which is why I just went "the hell with it" and went for a $200 pair, so you may or may not have the same issue.

I found these ones on eBay, for about $98 shipped!

look good to me. i mean the markup on sunglasses is around 100% sometimes, so it's very likely that you can find any shades on eBay for a cheaper price, they just could be used, etc but that pair looks brand new.

Well I went ahead and bought the same pair but with different lenses (green polarized) from the same seller. Seems reputable, he had over 11 000 feedbacks.
