 | frame fixation |
Poor Dane tried to get my glasses fixed for me today. Turns out they ARE under warranty, but the place I bought them (cough—Costco—cough) no longer carries that frame, so they can’t fix or replace them. But! They can credit me the cost of the frame toward my next pair! But! My prescription’s expired, and they won’t let me order new glasses without a new one! And I don’t think “middle of pregnancy” is the recommended time to have one’s eyes examined, especially if one has a tendency to only remember to go to the optometrist every five years or so.
In the end, they offered to pay to have the existing frames fixed at another shop (which wasn’t open and won’t be until Tuesday), AND to give me the credit toward my next pair of glasses, if I should manage to get a new prescription before the warranty runs out in a few months. Which… maybe I will, maybe I won’t. It’s just SIGHT, how important could it be? Sigh.
I just got new glasses a few weeks ago, with very different frames than I’ve ever used before. At the time I opted against the anti-reflective-anti-glare-scotchguard coating because I was in a hurry… but they reflect and glare and get dirty something awful, so I brought them in within their 30-day guarantee and now am back in my old frames while they replace the lenses – TWO WEEKS, GAH. And it turns out I did have time to get used to the new frames, and I do like them better than my old ones. Wah.
Way to make your rant all about me, huh? It’s a gift.
Poor Kate! Glasses procurement is something of a hassle, I must say.
