I was cruising through a LensCrafters the other day looking at the ridiculous prices and a big sign with the warranty information caught my eye.
LensCrafters 1-Year Replacement Discount
Replace your broken glasses with the same or equivalent pair for 50% of their current retail price within one year of the date of delivery. May not be combined with other discounts, promotions or insurance.
I asked the clerk what happens if six months down the road the hinge separates from the temple or the nose pad breaks off — a couple of things that would tend to point to manufacturing defects. She replied, that they would be covered under the warranty. So I pushed her on it, “So they’d be replaced for free?” She said, “No, but they would at 50% off.”
Shuron has a better plan. They give you a year and will replace them as they say here:
No 50% silliness. So there. Get a Shuron and don’t worry about it.
