Broke after 6 weeks, but they are replacing the frame under the warranty.
I ordered a pair of the Nelson style after watching their video showing how strong and flexible they are. However, after 6 weeks the frame hinge broke completely off. I contacted EFE, to claim on the 365 day warranty and was told it only covered manufacturing defects. They couldn't sell a replacement hinge or give any information on part #, or manufacturer. The offered a 30% discount on any new purchase, but the price I paid for the frame had gone up 60%, plus $6.99 shipping. I had previously bought from Zenni, and although they are cheap, they have never broken. After several emails, EFE agreed to send a replacement frame with no lens, and at no charge. Initially, they wanted me to pay shipping, but after I refused, they shipped it free of charge. The warranty cost is $7.99 for a frame and $6.99 shipping, a relatively small amount, and if EFE had replaced the frame from the start I would have given them a great review from the start I received the new frames and put the new side on the old frames as it was easier than trying to take the lenses out. I would just like to tell EFE that if they honored the 365 day warranty straight away they would get a lot more 5 star reviews. On the plus side, their glasses are a fraction of the cost of buying them in the USA, but choosing their very cheapest frames is probably not a good idea.

Dear Hwica We sincerely apologize for your unpleasant‑experience. Our hinges are made of metal and would not break without heavy external force. Taking our warranty terms into consideration, we offered you a 30%‑off coupon to help you place a new order. This option saves you the trouble of returning the glasses, because items may get further damaged or lost during return shipment. Regarding your concern about the price increase of this frame, we have adjusted the price for you already and you may place your new order now. If you have further questions, please email us at [email protected]. We will work with you to resolve this matter satisfactorily. Best regards, Vivian
