Oakley sunglasses Help!

Hi,
I found this website:
outlet-oakleysunglasses . com

I was wondering if anyone has used this site before or anyone can provide me with any reviews of the site?
Everything seems fine but the price is lowwwww:D

Thanks

    It is a Chinese based website, started 5th May this year.

    Prepare for fakes at those prices.

    definitely fakes.
  • Try:

    https://www.sunglassesuk.com

    They are based in Leeds and have provided a good service and good value when I've bought a couple of times from them in recent years (not that I'm wearing sunglasses all the time!).

    http://www.eyewearoutlet.co.uk/ are very good. Used them a few times with no problems.

    Well they're not about to say they're going to sell you fakes are they?

    They're based in China, there's no way to contact them other than e-mail, no address and no phone numbers. There's no comeback when you're not happy with what you get.

    You may well get something through the post, but my concern with sunglasses is that they may not be UV protective.

    In the end, it's your money.

    What's an authentic vendor ? They're not actually saying they're genuine Oakley are they ?
    In my experience (many years deaing with Visa disputes) anything from a company in China will be fake. GHD's, Uggs, Abercrombie & Fitch and Hollister clothing, Tiffany, Links of London jewellery, Ping golf clubs, and most high end designer stuff, i've seen it all !!

    Stay well clear, only use official websites. If it sounds too good to be true, it usually is.

    I've used this company too. They also have a shop at the Outlet Villlage in Portsmouth. The prices are good, but if you are lucky they sometimes have the style you want in a clearance. I saved well over £100 each on both my wifes and my own when they ran this clearance promotion earlier in the year.

    These are genuine Oakely Products. Some are seconds but they are the sort of imperfections like frame scuff or scratch that you end up with the first time you drop them in any case. And many of the imperfections you could spend all day looking for.

    Would defo recommend.
