Ray-Ban.com review

Ray-Ban.com is the place to go when you want a pair nobody else stocks. Its Remix service lets you pick frame color, lens color and engraving, and the US shipping page puts custom Remix orders at up to 12 business days with free standard shipping. Regular orders ship free, with express at $18 and premium express at $25, and you can pick up in store for free. The returns page gives 45 days from receiving the parcel, and returns can go back by mail or at a Ray-Ban, LensCrafters or Sunglass Hut store, which is handy if you buy online and change your mind. The catch is price: the brand store sells at list price, and the same RB2140 Original Wayfarer cost $191 at FramesDirect and Zappos, while SmartBuyGlasses listed an RB2140 at $133. Remix orders are final sale. Its site blocked our checks, so policy details come from Ray-Ban's own pages as indexed by search and prices are pending.
