Payne Glasses review

Payne Glasses lists frames from $5.95, with under $9, under $19 and under $39 sections, and it pitches itself as an expert in progressive lens designs, which matters because progressives are where online prices climb fastest. The catalog also covers prescription sports glasses, goggles and kids' sizes from toddlers to pre-teens. Shipping is where the low price meets real costs: USPS Standard costs $5.95 and takes 6 to 12 business days, while Priority and Express cost $13.95 and $23.95. Glasses orders over $89 ship free. Read the return policy before ordering. Requests must be made within 30 days of delivery, the included Limited Warranty does not give full refunds, and full refunds are only available on US orders that include the paid Risk Free Warranty. That makes Payne a strong budget option for people who know their prescription and measurements well, and a riskier one for first-time online buyers.

Who it is for
