Cheap Genuine Ray-Bans

i have two pairs myself, one expensive brand name, the other a no name polarizing pair, i use both and both seem on par despite a 10:1 price difference.

is there anyway for the regular consumer to be able to tell if what they're buying will protect their eyes?

Don't think there's any easy test. Main thing is just to buy from a reliable source that isn't going to lie about them having the protection.

just buy from an actual reputable shop that states they have UV protection, and not some guy at the side of the street really.

a €10 pair of "Wayfarers" from River Island will have a UV protection sticker and protect your eyes fine.
so will authentic RayBans for 100+.

sunglasses with the RayBan logo from a guy at the side of the road in Lanzarote, probably not.

I holiday relatively frequently in very hot countries (think temperatures approaching 35-40 degrees) and not once have I worn sunglasses. The locals don't seem to wear them either. What dangers does the sun pose to your eyes? I don't wear sunscreen either but I just tan as opposed to getting sunburned so that's not really relevant.

Just from what I've seen a lot of people who own Ray-Bans are young lads/girls who wear them any time the sun shines in Ireland because they look cool. I highly doubt the sun here could do damage (but I could well be wrong). Anyway, how do we know Ray-Bans aren't marked up significantly because of the brand? You could definitely get a pair of sunglasses with good UV protection at far more reasonable prices.

I guess you are trolling but just in case you are not:

damn you op!!! €100 spent on sunglasses i didn't know i needed..

Customs charges are added at Amazon checkout. Got myself and the girlfriend some RayBans and got myself a nice watch all with the 20% discount. I did end up spending €300 and all I wanted was sunglasses

Is this site legit? smartbuyglasses.ie Ray-Bans for €96

Hi, i bought a pair of ray bans off this site, RB4115 i did not do my research as i did not know the site was in china, so i ordered before i found this out. I ordered the same pair i got in the US, as i lost my previous ones in Spain (left on a table) and i was gutted as they are not available in Europe. So i ordered and was sent tracking number, and checked the origin china, so wasn't too happy as i though they will be fake, I ordered on a monday and they arrived on wednesday. They are exactly the same as my old ones, i checked the signs:box, label on box, serial number, material, case stitching was perfect, cloth was quality and ray ban lettering on cloth was perfect, and i used a jewellers loupe 40x to check the tiny RB etching on the lens which is perfect. The case is identical to my old case, which i still have. There is nothing for me to say the these are forgeries, usually you would see some type of flaw but i cannot see any. I use them almost every day and they have not broken or melted yet. Thats my experience anyway, hope it helps!

Mine arrived today - Well pleased - defo think they're genuine going by quality and checking ray ban serial number on side.

Did you use standard shipping or express? And did you end up purchasing off of Amazon.com?

I used standard shipping and they say they will be another 2 weeks

Shipping with i-parcel.

I think I picked express by mistake (I meant to pick standard - prob led to greater charge), it gave this detail in the confirmation email:

AmazonGlobal Priority Shipping

Ordered on 27 June and Arrived today

How did you come to that conclusion? I highly doubt Amazon are selling good fakes and claiming they are authentic.

Ships from and sold by Amazon.com

All Sunglasses Come complete with Original Manufacturers Case, Cloth, and Booklet/Authenticity card when applicable.

I like how you've highlighted that as proof of authenticity. Sure they can do a decent job of a pair of sunglasses, but a piece of cardboard would be too much for them.

Plenty on fake stuff on Amazon's site. But as others have said if it's sold by amazon you shouldnt have any concern.

So how much is a pair of Wayfarers including customs and 20% discount etc?

Works out roughly at €100, maybe less.
