Zenni refunds 50% of the price for returns.

Eyebuydirect (14 days) and 39dollarglasses (30 days) offer full refund for returns.

We didn't return because we didn't feel it was Zenni's fault. There was no defect with the glasses, they just didn't happen to fit my wife's face and couldn't be adjusted to.

I was just posting to point out an inherent flaw with the entire concept of online glasses ordering and one I have no solution to.

I'd love to imagine a future where they can 3D scan a face and produce bespoke frames.

The unconditional return warranty exists because fit & style are difficult online. Returns are included in the price you paid, it’s like insurance, not everyone needs it, but sometimes you do.

Warby Parker is using the iPhone X camera for facial scan & frame recommendations.

how good a recommendation can be is based on resolution http://eyednamarket.com/multivendor/images/5.jpg

Thanks. What’s the best USB-connected camera that can be purchased today for high resolution facial 3D scanning on a PC?

Artec Eva but is very expensive.
