I spent 20 minutes trying to find a pair of Raybans that I want to buy...I
got so pissed off I wanted to email them...yah try and find a way to contact
them from their site...what a piece of junk. Some web designer sold them a
bill of goods - look pretty though if you have good eyesight.

Google? eBay?


manufacturers don't sell direct to public or they would lose all their
customers (retailers who sell Raybans)

FWIW I was disappointed with the site for other reasons, I visited the site
before as I was looking for the name of a vintage model and their "history"
presentation, while somewhat entertaining was sorely lacking in archival
info on their sunglasses.
 
I did find them on other sites, I knew they probably didn't sell direct, but
I wanted to see if they were available in another frame color instead of
black and what the part number was. Looking for the goofy Ray Ban
Clubmasters in tortisoise shell instead of black.

Useless site...or in their case; sight.

Not true for all manufacturers; I am able to buy Lancôme products directly
from their web site and their products are also sold in retail stores.
 
Depending on what you're getting, it could be cheaper too. Pennsylvania
charges a 6% sales tax on cosmetics. Lancôme offer free shipping for sales
over $50. I use three of their moisturizing products. It's almost $200 if I
get them all at one time. Obviously I don't - I try to stagger the
purchases. I am soon out of one of them and it's just under that magic
dollar amount. One of the local stores is having a promo the end of the
month. I may or may not wait to get the extra goodies.

I love their facial moisturizer smells like roses in the spring. What the
heck are we talking about? I need a pair of brown Jack Nicholson sunglasses
damit. :-)
