New Frames Have Arrived At Zenni Optical


These are some testing times for America with a looming recession. In these tough times we need to save, cut down on our extrvaganze. It is good to see new products like ZenniOptical.Com roviding a low cost high quality product to America. No wonder people are loving it. Read on this link about folks who bought Zenni eyeglasses online and were more than satisfied not just because of the prices but because of the quality as well. Many people have commented that their eyeglasses price used to be around $300-$350, at Zenni they could buy for $50-$70. Importantly these guys are satisfiede with the quality and the choice they had while choosing the glasses. The basic eyeglasses price range starts at $8, $9.95, $12.95, $15.95, $19 etc. The variety of frames and dimensions is any day better than any real-physical store I've seen in my life. It is quite understandable since it is a website which sells products in whole of America and hence maintains a wide range of product. And because they sell in huge volumes they can afford to have lower margins. People are happy to get this range to choose from at one place at amazing price. Add ons include ; AR = Anti Reflective and Anti Radiation coating ONLY $4.95 Sunglass Tint = $4.95. If you have visited the site before check the New Arrival section for new frames that were not present in your last visit. Or you could use the search option to search for the right eyglass that you chose earlier and forgot to bookmark it. If you happen to have any question Zenni provides a 1-800 number to call them and prefer this for any quick question resolution you are looking for. Also their is an email address and a contact form which you can use to provide to Zenni for their product or website. Keep this website in mind next time you need to purchase eyeglasses for you or your family. Shipping charges are a flat $4.95 for however many glasses you order !
