- Mail order house from Doug Puchalski drp40@cd.amdahl.com
-
- Southern Eyes
- M & A Optical
- P.O. Box 5315
- Raleigh, NC 27650

- I did not contact this business. Doug said they carry Serengeti.
-
-
-
- Local retailers I found:
-
- Sunglass Hut (Valley Fair Mall)
- 2855 Stevens Creek Bl
- Upstairs near Fresh Choice
- (408)249-8722
-
- Straight list price with minimal selection. Staff helpful and willing
- to order what you want.
-
- Sun Shade Optique (Valley Fair Mall)
- 2855 Stevens Creek Bl
- Upstairs near Macys
- (408)246-5255
-
- Much larger selection at somewhat less than list price. Very good
- staff. I purchased my (graphite square) Revos here for about $20 more
- than Price club wanted for the classic style (the ONLY one they had).
-
-
- Suggestions from the NET:
-
- The Price Club was recommended by -
- jpoller@novell.com
- bsp1-@cd.amdahl.com
- dylee@nas.nasa.gov
- mcb@presto.ig.com
- runip@actel.com
- ahearn@cadence.com
-
- Whole Earth Access was recommended by -
- salil@igor.tamri.com
- patti@novell.com
-
-
-
- My summary:
-
- If you want Revos - go to Sun Shade Optique and buy them there. Best
- selection unless you want the classic style. If the classic is what
- you want get them at price club for $110.
-
- If you want RayBan, Serengeti, Vaurnet, etc. - go to Sun Shade and
- find the style color and model number you want then call up Blitz
- Optics and pay about half of list price. I turned a friend on to them
- and she saved about $40 on a pair of RayBans.
-
- Thanks to all that replied!
