Same warning:

Go ahead and give your credit-card information to an un-secured
Chinese web-site to purchase cheap knock-off parts for your car.

Please, oh please, do NOT repost the spammer/scammer URL/email
addresses in replies if you feel you must reply. I think everyone
knows that this company is a total scam, skimming for card and account
numbers, etc.

Spam would go away if NO ONE either bought from the spammers, and they
were unnoticed at all. But always some IDIOT will buy (or try to buy,
rarely, if ever, does a spammer ever actually deliver a product). And
certainly never, ever deal with a company in China. Ever. Buy American
(or from whatever country you are in, if you are not in the US) and be
both safer, more environmentally friendly, and supporting your local
economy.

I agree in principle, and even more so about "HID Kits" in general (just
don't buy 'em) but I have had good experiences with dealextreme.com and
zenni optical.  (have you priced eyeglasses from a brick and mortar
store lately?  Yeesh!)  I've also heard good things about the Hong Kong
based Poor Man's Watch Corner although I have never ordered from them.
Their web site is interesting and offers some good products you can't
get here (the Seiko 5 line, for example)

It is highly unlikely that you are getting a genuine Seiko.

Just keep that in mind.

As for Glasses, I get mine from America's Best - cut locally (New
Jersey) and guaranteed to be both the correct prescription and that
the glasses (frames) will fit. I have high-index, coated progressives,
starting at -5.50, so a correct prescription is quite important.

Note that I paid $239 for two pair, one tinted, one not. Rimless ultra-
lightweight frames, polished edges.

Not bad.

Who would counterfeit a $60 watch?  PMWC does have a good reputation,
as well.

You still likely weren't helping the US manufacturing sector.  My last
pair of eyeglass frames were made in Austria.  (cost a little more
than $239 too)  who knows where the lenses were made; I'm sure the US
lab just cut them to size and polished the edges.

The same people who counterfeit $3 CDs & $5 DVDs

No, perhaps not. The frames were made in England, the lenses were made
in Germany, but the cutting and polishing was done by Americans in New
Jersey, the fitting by Americans in Pennsylvania, and the profits also
stayed in the US. Warranty (a very good one) issues may be addressed
without using the mails but by walking up to an actual Human Being who
is paid to address them.

Sure. But, did you purchase them "mail-order"? And who made sure that
both the prescription and fitting was correct?
