That’s why I’m not poor, lol. I don’t waste $200 on sunglasses.

I bought two pairs like 15-16 years ago and when one messes up (usually rubber falls off) I send it back and wear the other pair while they send me a new pair to replace the first pair. Rinse and repeat. I get new ones every couple years and haven't had to pay for glasses since. Turned out to be a great investment.

I like Bajio better than Maui Jim. Bajio claims to block more blue light than any sunglass on earth. I got the Ozello and love them.

Costa vs Bajio

They want about 10-15 dollars handling fee when they look at them


Not since Luxottica bought them in 2020. The warranty is also changed. Now it’s only 1 year. But if you bought them before 2020 they will honor the lifetime.

Overall Luxottica is terrible to work with though and everything they buy, the quality goes down.

Well that’s good to know, I’ve got 3 pair that have no rubber left. I was going to send back, but read they stopped honoring the warranty.

They will you just have to take pictures of everything. If they deny the warranty wait a few days and resend it and it should get approved.

The only issue I ran into was that one of my frames they don’t make anymore. So they gave me choices of replacements. But they kept only offering 580p instead of 580g. I had to reject their offer a few times and redo my claim before they figured it out.

That’s a bunch of the old Costa people. You see a good bit of people who wore Costas before Luxottica moving to them.
