  • - I own nearly 900 Oakleys.
  • - Wanted to buy 1 of each style.
  • - Third-party calling is nuts; the operator wasn't better.
  • - I say no to Shady Rays.

Wanted to buy 1 of each style, To go through a 3rd party calling system is nuts for a purchase.

The operator was not any better, i have close to 900 pairs of oakleys was looking a different spin to try and instead i was met with wrong energy .

NO THANKS SHADY RAYS

Pros:
  • Dont know

I love my Shady rays and so did someone else they took all of them except the pair I was wearing

All of my Shady Rays sunglasses were stolen except for the blue ones I wear all the time. They were replaced; the other ones I switched out depending on the day.

Pros:
  • There great sunglasses
Cons:
  • Other people like them as much as i do

Preferred solution: The replacement pairs of the sunglasses that I had except for the pair I was wearing

User's recommendation: Keep them put up they are great sunglasses especially the color rush

Loss:
$45
Cons:
  • Bad business

Preferred solution: A replacement pair of glasses

User's recommendation: Don't buy, they won't replace them!!!

AI Highlights
  • - Could not reach support; replacement link failed.
  • - Replacement for Shady Rays, notes indicate which item to replace, contact Erin Neder at 619813****.
Updated by user Feb 22, 2025

Company fixed the issue and I have been provided with apology. I spoke to a person on the phone after many months of trying to find the phone number to a person in my area and time zone.

My son is enjoying his shades in TX.

Thank you so very much. He really needed them.

Original review Feb 06, 2025
I have tried to get ahold of someone to get a repback in. I think it was September October.

I was given a link to move forward with a replacement and took a picture of the glasses. I was unable to. Send the pictures requested due to a link that was sent to me was not working.I tried you let you guys know, but no one ever has called me back.And if you have it's possibility that the time zone is an issue. I live in California and I get off at work at 210 I was home by 240.

Try to make a call and you. Your company was already closed. This is not convenient when there is a problem. Please hire other people on the West Coast for customer service.

Also, please get ahold of me ASAP. I. Would like to have a replacement for the shady rays. If you look on the notes from previous you'll probably discover which one I need replacing.

My number is 619813****. My name is Erin Neder

Replacement

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
AI Highlights
  • - We like the shades and replacement policy.
  • - Nose-bridge snapped on both pairs.
  • - The second replacement took over 6 months; first within a month.

We love our shades and appreciate the replacement policy. My son had his replacements twice.

Unfortunately, the first pair and the second pair snapped at the nose bridge, on different sides for each of them. My only complaint was getting a hold of someone for the replacement who is on the west coast. It took me over 6 months the second time.

The first time, it was within the month. Anyway, the item was replaced, and I was able to ship them to my son at school in a different state.

Pros:
  • Quality and policy
Cons:
  • Easier to talk to a person when issue

User's recommendation: Website could provide a phone number for different areas

AI Highlights
  • - West Coast support is hard to reach.
  • - I had to call during lunch to resolve it.
  • - Replacement link failed; fee applies.
  • - Replacement is on the way.

It'svery hard to get a hold of anyone if you live on the west coast. I had to call during my lunch break to get my problem resolved.

I have been trying since Aug 2024 and it's now Feb 2025. I was sent a link with an approved replacement. But it didn't work. Just know that there is a fee for replacement.

Not FREE. Maybe because this is the 2nd time we are requesting a replacement. I can't remember if this was ask the first time. I am happy now with a replacement on the way.

Have your information in a safe place. But know that they can look you up too.

AI Highlights
  • - Coating peeled off lenses when wiped.
  • - Calls to customer service were on hold.
  • - Switched to another manufacturer and bought new sunglasses.

Coating started coming off of lenses while wiping with a soft cloth.Called back several times and got tired of being on hold.Decided to just throw sunglasses away and order new ones from another manufacturer.
