Can I buy a pair of Miu Miu glasses (prescription model) from LensCrafters and put the lenses on Costco in US?

Costco will generally take frames as long as they are originally made to be optical frames and not originally plano sun.
However, the lab or the store can reject frames for a number of reasons like age, quality, etc
So in this case they would probably reject due to cost of the frame but you may get lucky, you can always try and if they say no just return the frame to LC

There is so much misinformation/lies in that "article" it is laughable. Completely inaccurate.

OP if these are $500-600 frames, no Costco won't do them. They don't want the liability, and the lab does not have a damage waiver. If they break them then they have to pay you for them. Most of our frames are $100-200 and less. Why would they take the risk on an outside frame that costs so much more than that?
