Worst Sunglass Store in LA

by love_la at Citysearch

never ever shop at this sunglass store. i went to get my sunglasses fixed which were under warranty and it took three months for me to even get a straight answer. in the end, my sunglasses were never fixed. i asked to get the broken pair sent to me and the store manager said "we'll see if you get your sunglasses back" and hung up the phone. i have never heard of a company treating a customer like this. it was ridiculous. i have still not seen my sunglasses nor have gotten a straight answer when i visited the store. best advice ... tell everyone not to shop at this store or the one in beverly hills.

• Pros: none
• Cons: they rip you off

Picky Return Policy

by angeliquor08 at Citysearch

The sunglasses selection at Optical Fashion Center is great, but their return policy might discourage you from buying anything. Returns are only accepted within 14 days of purchase--and you receive store credit in the form of a flimsy receipt that's easy to misplace.

• Pros: unique designer sunglasses
• Cons: the return policy, usually only one employee working
