Personal experience with an internet store

Even a short note like 鈥渢his size runs smaller than expected鈥?can help someone. If a website gives a detailed guide for measurements, I feel more confident when ordering. If anyone has long term experience with certain online shops, I am always curious to read it. Taking a few minutes to research before buying can save a lot of money and frustration. Bad lenses can cause eye strain, reflections and headache when you wear them for hours.  

If anyone is interested in real user experiences, I sometimes write short notes about the shops I test.
You can find one of the pages here:

If you sit in front of a screen for many hours, these small features make a difference. When I test a new shop I usually start with one or two items instead of a huge order. Some pieces look shiny online but feel like plastic when you open the package. I do not trust only the star rating, I like to see detailed photos and longer comments. Metal can feel more premium, but acetate can be more comfortable for long wear. Now I am more careful with impulse buys and limited time offers. This is why I like reading and posting on forums and community websites.  

Maybe this is useful for someone.
