Oakley.com review

Oakley.com is the brand's own store and the only place to design an Oakley Custom pair, choosing frame color, lens tint and icon. Its site blocked our requests from our location, so the policy details here come from Oakley's own shipping, returns and FAQ pages as indexed by search, and we left its prices pending. Those pages say standard products bought on Oakley.com can be returned within 30 days if unused and in original packaging with tags, and that refunds follow once the item arrives back. Returns can also be made at an Oakley store, and Sunglass Hut states that Oakley.com purchases may be returned to its stores, except collaborations and customized items. Oakley Custom products ship free by express, with about 6 business days for assembly and delivery, but custom sunglasses and goggles cannot be returned or exchanged because each is built to order. Buy here for custom work or a new release; for a standard pair, discount sellers are often cheaper.
