The one that changed their name a couple of years ago.
Competely forgot.
Thanks in advance.
Igero, formally Eyewearoutlet.
That's the one, ta.
Awful name isn't it?
Bluenty?
Bluenty are in Spain, but far cheaper than Igero, whose deals aren't all that IMO.
I went direct to Oakley in the end recently.
Got the customs I wanted, engraved and here in 4 days.
When I noticed a 2mm scratch on the engraved lens they sent me another custom pair straight out FoC and said to keep the others as spares.
Wouldn't have got that from a reseller.
I presume you are after buying some., so a bit of a pointer that might be of use.
I called in at the Oakley outlet at Cheshire oaks outlet and got a pair of catalyst with iridium lens for £60. List price was £118 so very very happy with them.
They had loads available of all different styles but obviously only any use if you are near one.

So you should pay more in the first place in case you get a damaged pair on the off chance Oakley then give you the damaged pair...? I'll just buy them cheaper ta!
Rusty- I have a 30% off code for the official Oakley's site if you want it? I emailed asking for replacement lenses for my old sunnies, but they no longer do the lenses so gave me 30% off instead.
Ping me an email and can send it over if you want it. I am unlikely to use as not much cash at the moment! will have to use the code in the next month or so I think.
Why the negatively njee?
I paid less actually than if I'd had to buy the other ear socks and emblem on top as none of the other sites will do customs let alone the lens engraving.
The fact they had been sctatched during the build and qc missed it was reflected in their first class customer service.
Something that loads on here keep cracking on about being lost with Internet sellers yet strangely enough don't want to pay the often small difference for.
Depends where you look I guess and what you're after, but differences are rarely small with Gran Optic, Bluenty etc. 40% discount or so common.
Their customer care is excellent, but you don't lose that by buying elsewhere.
Just struck me as a very specific set of circumstances to justify paying more. Tongue in cheek rather than overt negativity!
Wasn't justifying - I'll often go to the online discounters usually as most do.
In this case though - with Oakley often the styles they have I don't like so the option to swap ear socks, emblem, etc to have the style is something that the resellers just don't do. It actually would've come in slightly more expensive than Bluenty and left me with spares I would never use in the draw.
Add in that I wanted the lenses engraving as well - it meant only Oakley was an option.
The fact the scratched lens meant a replacement pair would no doubt be warranted by most however most would want the original back before the replacements, etc. Usually at your own cost too.
Within 2 hrs of me receiving them by FedEx, opening them and seeing the scratch - Oakley asked for 4 specific pics and a replacement order was arranged and they said they were sorry to have inconvenienced me and to keep the damaged pair as spares on them.
Simple facts.
