Could not have been a better online shopping experience, entered my prescription for new prescription sun glasses at 3-45pm and new shades arrived at midday the next day . Less than 24 hours to make and ship the product and the result is high quality .

I originally saw the pair of sunglasses that I bought at a major retail outlet, loved them but was not in the market to pay £175, I then did some research and found them on Shade Station for £95, wasn't sure whether to order them as I did not expect the same quality glasses however, when they arrived I was pleasantly suprised that they are indeed exactly the same quality as the store. Would highly recommend Shade Station

Exceptional quality, competitive prices, and prompt delivery!
I recently purchased three pairs of glasses from Shade Station—two prescription frames (Ralph Lauren and Dolce & Gabbana) and a pair of Carrera sunglasses—and I couldn't be happier with my experience.
The frames are top-tier, accurate to their descriptions, and the build quality is remarkable for the price. Everything arrived right on time without any hassle. I’m thoroughly impressed with the service and quality. Well done to the team!
