Yeah, but it's only against their shit breaking, I don't think it'll cover this. Which is, "They fell off my face, and a lens popped out, and one of the arms got bent, so I tried to fix it, and they snapped"

	popping over from the other thread

A lot of people have had success getting replacements on high-end items. Write them a letter, politely explaining how this was your first ever pair, made available as a gift, and they got damaged in a fall. Would it be possible for them to be replaced? And send it with the glasses. (If you've already disposed of the glasses, just send the letter.) Maybe they make good on the customer service angle, maybe they don't, but it's worth a try.

Yeah, that would have been good, had I thought of it before I just tossed them. :-(

reminds me of last week, when I bought my first ever snowboard and then through a series of small and perfectly logical steps somehow ended up fucking up the surface with a dremel and having to seal it with some clear adhesive. looks like crap.

Seriously, I typically buy glasses @ $2.50. But these were nice. And there was a gift cert involved.
