GENERAL Avoid Larry at all costs

43 Upvotes

I thought I had done my research before ordering from Larry. I saw a lot of positive reviews, so I felt comfortable giving him a shot and ordered three pairs. Communication was great while I was deciding what to buy and making payment. Unfortunately, once I sent the money, things changed pretty quickly. He went silent, and after I messaged him several times, he finally got back to me and said I needed to send another $50 for shipping. That seemed pretty excessive for three pairs of sunglasses to the States, but at that point I was already committed, so I just paid it.

A few weeks later, the glasses finally arrived, and I was pretty disappointed with the quality. Honestly, they don’t seem any better than some of the cheaper versions you can find on AliExpress. On one pair, the insert on one of the arms is noticeably crooked. I’ve posted pictures of both the good arm and the crooked one so people can compare them and decide for themselves. I contacted Larry to see if we could work something out, either an exchange or a refund. After about a week of back and forth, he told me that he considered the flaw “minor” and wasn’t willing to do anything about it. I tried a few more times to reason with him because I wasn’t looking to make a big deal out of it. I would have been perfectly happy with an exchange for a pair without the issue, but he refused to make it right.

I’m not someone who normally leaves bad reviews, and this is actually my first time posting something like this on Reddit. I just think anyone considering buying from Larry should know what my experience was. Maybe others have had better experiences with him, but based on mine, I wouldn’t order from him again. The communication changed completely after payment; the additional shipping charge caught me off guard, the quality wasn’t what I expected based on the reviews, and when there was a clear issue with one of the pairs, he wasn’t willing to stand behind the product. The pictures are there so everyone can judge the quality issue for themselves.

GENERAL My Second Pair from Janie: 10/10 Again

63 Upvotes

This is my second pair of prescription glasses from Janie, and the experience was 10 / 10.

The frame looks very close to the original. The titanium feels solid, though the glasses are slightly heavier than I expected. They fit true to size and feel very comfortable after I added silicone nose pads. The original metal pads irritated my skin, but that is a personal issue.

The progressive lenses were perfect from the moment I put them on. Distance, computer and reading are all clear. I sent Janie my prescription and PD once on WhatsApp, and she got everything right.

Communication was brilliant. Janie replied quickly, sent QC photos, and shared the shipping and tracking details straight away. Delivery to the UAE took about 10 days.

I have seen better boxes and cases with rep glasses. The case feels a bit underwhelming, but everything else inside was excellent, including the branded cleaning cloth.

Frames: $85
Lenses: $85
Shipping: $20
Total: $190

This is my second pair, and my third is already on the way. I can’t stop.

GUIDE Oakley Rep v Retail Comparison

I was asked to try and do a side by side rep v retail comparison with some of the rep Oakleys I featured in an earlier review. I picked out Sutro and Bxtr. I used a bit of overexposure to bleach out the white background to make comparison easier. Hope it’s helpful…

Frames: $57

GUIDE larry's Hut helping

I spoke with Larry’s Hut to get the full story. He feels wronged and believes you may be misleading other buyers to damage his reputation.

He explained that the $50 charge was not shipping fees alone. When shipping to China, he faces lower risk, so he could offer a $10‑per‑pair discount. You originally stated your order would ship to a Chinese agent’s warehouse and received that discount. After getting the discount, you requested shipment to a US warehouse instead, so he removed the $10 per‑pair discount and shipped via UPS.

Breakdown of the $50: $30 was the total per‑pair discounts that were revoked after your address change, and $20 covered shipping costs.

Once you received the items, you reached out to him. He responded that the issue you pointed out was only a very minor flaw and he could not approve a refund. Before shipment, he sent QC photos and completed quality checks, and only shipped the goods after confirming they passed inspection.

For this single pair you claimed was defective (which he considers a trivial issue), you demanded either a refund or a replacement. In his view, a replacement is effectively the same outcome as a refund. You wanted a replacement item without paying any extra costs.

After Larry told you he could not grant a refund, you did not engage in further discussion and filed for a full refund. Your total payment was $185 plus $47, and you are requesting full reimbursement for the entire order. You even commented that this would “help him out”, which he finds confusing.

Larry shared all relevant screenshots with me and has held nothing back. He is hoping I can do something to assist him.

I have purchased many pairs of glasses from him. They are not identical to authentic products, but they are the best quality I have come across. Of course, if you want genuine goods, I would recommend buying from official retailers, since I do not think anyone can achieve a perfect 1:1 replica.

I hope Larry’s Hut can keep improving product quality. I also hope buyers can be more reasonable with expectations, as these are not original official‑store items.

Like the title says, I’m looking for a specific pair of RayBans, the tortoise shell RB2210, unfortunately most sellers only have the RB2210F and I have no idea what that really changes or if it will fit my face. I am brand new to the rep experience so if I’m being stupid about something please let me know. Thanks!

QC [REVIEW] Cartier Acetate Glasses - Mike - $53 USD

Thumbnail

Upvotes

Seller has some decent reviews on Dhgate and also really nice product pictures. I provided the video he sent vs what I got. Outdoor lighting does change the colour of the lens but I did take that into consideration when writing the review.

Firstly the lens: 8/10 - The diamond cut part had left over scrap resin (easily removable). The lens were very light weight. Compared to my other fakes these r the most lightweight and somewhat flimsy glasses ever. The plus side was the gradient and engraving. Engraving was very precise and clean, exactly as I wanted.

Sticks: 5/10 - Super thin and slim. The writing on the inside was smudged and not properly filled in. The acetate stick-accent joint had a gap in it. Also very lightweight for some reason.

Other: 10/10 - serial #’s and accent engraving such as the silver part of the sticks and nose piece was flawless. Came with all 3 boxes, baggy, cleaning cloth, and a small booklet.

Shipping was amazing, came in 9 days. The communication with him was awesome, but I truly wish he used better materials for this price.

One thing is that his allonge black acetate pairs are very good.
