FAQ

How are your prices so cheap?!!

The answer really is in the buying technique, and no, we are not going to tell you it is as simple as buying big quantities, if it were this simple everyone would be doing it!

The traditional method of buying sunglasses as a shop owner is by purchasing stocks through an approved distribution outlet, each country has one. Discounted Sunglasses buy our sunglasses from exactly the same source as other shops which mean the goods are original, genuine and brand new... NO fakes here thank you. But how are they cheaper if we buy from the same source?

Discounted Sunglasses actually pay the same cost as other shops for our stocks, but we make less profit, thus passing the savings straight to you.

And why don't other shops just make less profit? Because they are not allowed; they are bound by a contract with the brand distributor which prevents them from selling under the retail price - break the contract, no supply. Unfair isn't it! We have no contract so we can discount below the retail price. You get the worlds hottest brands at amazing prices, and we sell more quantities at a lower profit.

Oh and one last point, we are experts in sourcing goods in the European Union, this keeps us the No.1 above the best of the rest.

Are your sunglasses genuine designer sunglasses?

All sunglasses supplied to us are 100% genuine, new and unused. You will receive them exactly as you would buying them from a high street store. We buy from authorised dealers throughout Europe and with over 10,000 sales trading online for over 5 years you should feel confident in your purchase. We are also a top-rated seller on Ebay with over 18000 positive feedback so you can see we are serious online sellers with a history of supplying genuine designer sunglasses.

Are you Authorized Dealers?

Discounted Sunglasses are not an authorized dealers for Luxottica, Safilo, De-Rigo Marchon or Marcolin, authorized dealers are often not permitted to sell online at discounted prices so we remain independent to bring you great prices and tremendous savings against High Street price.

Can you provide prescription lenses for the frames sold on your website?

We do not offer the option of prescription lenses. We are aware that specific models will house prescription lenses but you will have to approach an ophthalmic specialist or a high street dealer that can fit prescription lenses for you. We advise you to purchase the sunglasses from Discounted Sunglasses and then seek alternative arrangements to fit prescription lenses.

How can I check that the eyewear purchased from your website will fit the shape and features of my head?

It is common for our clients to try different styles and colours of frame at their nearest retail outlet before completing their purchase on Discounted Sunglasses website. Where possible, clients provide us with the eyewear's individual code number to ensure an exact match by using the contact us button. We recommend this course of action to anyone that is unsure about the style in which they seek. The size of the item is usually stated on the product page. Many brands come as 1 size but Ray-Ban and a few others each model comes in a number of sizes. This is also stated where appropriate on the product page where possible. The sizes given are lens size (from left to right), bridge size (across the nose) and temple size (arm). If the item does not quite fit then contact us to arrange an exchange for a different size if available.

What UV (Ultraviolet) light does the eyewear protects my eyes from?

All quality lenses filter out 100% of all UVA, UVB, UVC and harmful blue light passing through the lenses on all tints and colours.The degree of glare that the lens filters is generally graded from a 1-3 scale, 3 being the maximum filter for glare.

Are all the lenses polarized?

No, we clearly state in the individual eyewear descriptions which models are polarized, if it does not state that the eyewear are polarized then they will not, under any circumstances, have polarized lenses.

How does polarization work?

Polarization blocks the bright, blinding glare that bounce off surfaces that are horizontal, such as water and roads. They are excellent for clients active in sports and activities such as skiing, fishing, cycling etc where light is often bounced from water or wet surfaces.

Is the colour of the image displayed on the website accurate to the colour of sunglasses I will receive?

Images presented on this site are graphically altered to improve web viewing. Colours may vary from the image to that of the actual sunglasses advertised and sold

Is a case included with the sunglasses?

We state on the product page what the item is supplied with. However occasionally a supplier may vary what case/box is supplied for that season compared to the image we have of the case for that product on the website.
