Message: [QUOTE="FairView, post: 2381630, member: 899"] I've been doing Harvey and Lewis for the past 15-20 years. They are not cheap, but they are not outrageous either. And the level of service in their Canton store is outstanding. Part of my high cost is that I choose silhouette brand frames, which are overpriced rimless frames, but I like them. I also have progressive lenses. The fit and measurements are perfect every time. And the people are quite nice, highly skilled and professional. And they don't complain if you keep your frames and just change the lenses. On another note. I used to work for an ad agency that had an eyeglass frame client. The markup on frames is unbelievable. I mean really, really unbelievable at every level in the supply chain. That explains the availability of online deals. They are still making good money. But if you think of the costs a retail eyeglass store has, you can understand some of the need for high margins. [/QUOTE]
