Planned obsolescence
After a year of wearing and loving these sunglasses, one day I picked them up and the screw had fallen out of the arm hinge. I emailed the company to ask for just a replacement screw and they had me jump through several hoops and email exchanges. Making me send the same order info 3 separate times and then asking for photos in additional emails, and ultimately telling me they can’t send me a replacement part and that I can get 15% off of a new pair. They cost about 40% more now than when I bought them a year ago, so it’s still more expensive than when I bought them before. I shouldn’t have to spend another $150-$200 for another pair of sunglasses after only a year of use. You should stand behind the quality of your product and should be able to send me a small screw in order for me to fix your product that failed. It’s not exactly tempting to then want to buy the same product again now knowing that it will likely break and if it does you will not even send a part for me to fix it myself. I can and will simply spend the same amount with a more reputable brand that stands behind the quality of their product instead of pulling this planned obsolescence scheme to sell more product. At this point the 15% off simply is not enough. I’d either like a replacement part or a refund. I highly recommend just going with a brand like ray ban or persol instead.
