a lot of the generic ones you get on eBay are crap tho

Haven't had any problem with any I have got.

And that includes a double capacity battery for the laptop
too.


My missus needs a new battery for her Toshiba laptop. Last one I
bought from ebay lasted 6 months. Have you a link for the vendor
you have successfully used please?

Fraid not, that one is in an email on a machine whose hard drive
fell on its face and I havent got around to recovering the old
emails
off that machine.

That was a few years ago now that I bought it. I have found that
with stuff I try to buy again a few years later, that earlier
supplier
I was happy with is long gone. Just discovered that with cheap
glasses from china.

Office in Chatswood,glasses from China.
http://omnioptics.com.au/

I ended up with these
https://www.zennioptical.com/#?nav_cat_id=2&q=710511&navused=1
I particularly wanted the plastic nose bridge with metal
frame rather than the pair of plastic things on little stalks.

The tracking says it should show up today.

And it did. They are hopeless tho, the vertical legs of the
saddle bridge don't even contact the metal frame at all.
The only connection with the metal frame is at the top,
the horizontal part of the bridge. That's not going to
last very long with the legs in contact with the nose
grease all the time.

Their returns system is fucked too. They will give you
a 50% discount on the replacement if you don't like
what they supplied, but you have to return the ones
you didn't like to the US and that costs most of the
discount.

Main saving grace is that they are so cheap that
its not big deal. I did get them to give me the
50% discount on a new pair without having to
return anything and I did plan to get a tinted
pair if the first one was satisfactory, so I just
ordered a new pair with tint. The frame was
half the price of the saddle bridge pair,
otherwise very similar in appearance.

No big deal, they are both for use when out
of the house and I will only be wearing the
non tinted ones after dark so they should
last fine since I don't do that very often.

I use
http://www.ausspecs.com.au/
so far no problems and I buy the cheapest model

The cheapest chinese are much cheaper than that.

No problems with the ones I had before that.

These are posted from Hong Kong

Mine came from Danyang (jiangsu)

The add $10 for "postage"

Only cost me $10 for Toll, full tracking 5 days including a weekend.

> This is my 2nd pair from their special basket

Goodplace to check for a new Nokia one is "Big W"

MUCH cheaper on the net.

Actually, I had fair bit of problems with those generic ones on ebay. Couple
of them I bought was far worse than the dying battery. When I whinged about
it, they send a replacement, and that was the same.
I think you need some luck, not to end up with crappy cloned batteries.

And that includes a double capacity battery for the laptop too.

That's one thing I have always loved about Nokias,
they use very few battery designs, so they are always
readily available and dirt cheap.

Nope, just enough of a clue to check the feedback if you use ebay.

That's good one. I sometime tend to ignore it for cheap buys.

I can't see even a single supplier of PRESCRIPTION glasses on ebay
currently.

The only ones there are only supply the frames, not the lenses.

Mine came from Danyang (jiangsu)

The add $10 for "postage"

Only cost me $10 for Toll, full tracking 5 days including a weekend.

This is my 2nd pair from their special basket


Mine were from a local supplier, on ebay. There are plenty of them on
ebay.

I can't see even a single supplier of PRESCRIPTION glasses on ebay
currently.

The only ones there are only supply the frames, not the lenses.

he is probably talking about reading glasses

Yeah, very likely.

which you can get from two dollar shops without bothering with ebay.

True.
http://www.ausspecs.com.au/

They do both and so far good quality
I suspect your "optometrist" gets them from same place at 100 times
the cost
Canceled my payment to my private fund for specs and save $400 a year
The specs I have from Ausspecs reading I bought must be 3 years ago
They are tough

I doubt it, the frames are quite different.

I never had that and don't have health insurance either.

The specs I have from Ausspecs reading I bought must be 3 years ago

I know that the last chinese lot I got was a little more than that ago
because I know I got them just after the last eye test and that was
just more than 3 years ago.

They are tough

I'm not hard on glasses. I kept relensing the OPSMs
that I used to get before I changed over to the dirt
cheap chinese glasses and those must have lasted
at least 35 years fine. Metal frame tho.

Still have them, cant get the nose bridges for them anymore.

You just have to work for the right people, my employer pays my health
fund and they pay for my specs, proper ones, not el cheapo Chinese ones.

After a week a lens fell out they charged me $50 to replace it
CRAP I deduced
Thats when I tried Ausspecs and the whole set cost me $40
Delivered in a week to my letter box (from Hong Kong)

my employer pays my health fund and they pay for my specs, proper ones,

Not interested in that shit 'work' just to get stupid
ripoff glasses which don't work anything like as well
as the chinese ones. Mate of mine was stupid enough
to end up paying most of a $1K by the time they
actually ended up with something useable and
they were steaming turds compared with mine.

One company I worked at does this because those with glasses need them

with "splash" shields working with chemicals.
But yes looked low quality to me also

ROFL, still willing to jump in blind and look stupid. You never learn do

I've paid nothing for my last 4 pairs and no complaints with any of
them. They're all reading glasses, a pair with transition lenses for use
out doors, and I can keep a pair in the office, the bedroom and the car too.

I'm not interested in tatting around garage sales for crap to flog on
Ebay, I've got far more interesting and rewarding stuff to do.
