Under-build and overpriced

By Bryce Ranked #86 - Polarized Interchangeable Sunglasses August 3, 2009

I am on my third replacement set of sunglasses, each pair has lasted less than 6 month. I purchased these sunglasses several years ago, and at first I really loved them. After about 2 months the plastic pin that held the temple in place broke, and I sent them in for replacement and was charged $20. The next pair had metal pins (this tells me that Native knew that there was a problem and charged me a replacement fee for defective sunglasses). This pair lasted a little under 6 months before the frame cracked lengthwise across the right brow. I sent these in for replacement and was this time charged $30 for for replacement, despite the fact that my warranty details stated that it would cost $20. At this point I wrote Native stating just how upset I was, and requesting that they at least refund me for the replacement, they never responded. The next pair of sunglasses were non-symmetrical and didn't fit right, the right ear piece popped off when the glasses were flexed in the slightest and, in addition to that, the reflex coating scratches with even the most careful use. So far these cheap crap glasses have cost me nearly $190, I am tempted to throw in the towel and buy a pair of smith sunglasses, they have a better warranty and seem to be more durable. Do not buy these sunglasses unless you like to give away your money!
