Can you haggle over the cost of new specs?

Now that IS interesting! Many thanks for that £135 for a new pair all in plus similar lenses put in my existing sungogs would almost certainly bring the cost in at less than the usual £250 or so they stripe me for.

I'll print out the leaflet and take it with me - they can't argue with hard evidence!!

Thanks again

And don't forget if you need to wear specs for some PC use at work, you might be able to get some money from your employer.
Another ask/haggle.

Thanks - that's taken care of. I work in IT so the Company pays for all eye tests. Pity they don't pay for the glasses too!

I wear varifocals, and know that most of the online sites will not sell these. I have been using a site called Zenni for about 4 years now, and have never had any problem with them. I tend to order 2 pairs at a time, at a total cost of about $90, including delivery!
The site is American, but the glasses come from China

Hmm, interesting. Thanks for the tip.

What about if you get them and they're just not right for you for whatever reason - is it a hassle sending them back and getting a refund or don't they offer one?

With the asda offer you're cheaper buying a second pair of glasses as they charge £40 plus cost of lenses for a patients frame reglaze.
