Hi Paul,

Thank you for taking the time to review your order.

We are sorry to hear that the Ray Ban sunglasses you purchased have suddenly had a price drop. When looking into this, I can see that they are still at the same price you bought them for on the website.

We'd like to look into this for you.

Our customer service team will be in touch shortly to discuss this further.

Kind regards

Very fast and easy delivery

Very fast and easy delivery. The product was exactly as shown on their website, with great quality and quick shipping. The only small issue was that I found another website selling it for £20 less.

Exceptional After Sales Experience

I recently bought a pair of Oakley Airdrop frames from Shadestation as they were the only supplier of the 51mm wide lens frame and their price was incredible. Unfortunately my frame broke, I contacted Shade Station and they immediately advised me on how to return the item, which I did. They sent out a new pair of frames and fitted my lenses in from the broken frame and returned them super fast. Absolutely outstanding service and I would highly recommend them. Thank you very much for your brilliant service A++++
