Excellent fitting and quality of lenses…
Excellent fitting and quality of lenses as always. Giarre has been, for several years now, my preferred lens glazing provider... even though I live in another continent!

Found my Gucci GG1835S at a steal!
I’ve been eyeing the Gucci GG1835S in black for a while but was waiting for the right price. Honestly, Giarre.com nailed it. I managed to stack their spring promo with an extra 20% discount code I found at checkout, and the final price was unbeatable compared to other sites.
Shipping was pretty fast, but more importantly, the packaging was solid. I was a bit worried about the glasses getting damaged during transit, but they arrived in pristine condition with the original case and all the paperwork. It’s clearly the real deal. Really happy with the savings and the overall experience. I’ll definitely be back for my next pair!

Hi Lulù,
Thank you so much for your wonderful feedback! We are thrilled to hear that you finally managed to get your hands on the Gucci GG1835S at such an unbeatable price. There’s nothing quite like the feeling of stacking those discounts!
We also appreciate you mentioning the packaging. We know how nerve-wracking it can be waiting for high-end eyewear to arrive, so we take extra care to ensure everything is "bulletproof" and arrives in pristine, authentic condition.
Enjoy your new shades—they are a timeless choice! We look forward to welcoming you back to Giarre.com whenever you're ready for your next pair.
Best regards,

Enjoy your new shades in their pristine condition, and whenever you're ready for your next pair, we'll have the 'protection squad' ready. See you soon on Giarre.com!

Got my order, but the experience was shady
After going back and forth with them a bunch and even telling them I’d report them and call them out as scammers, my sunglasses finally showed up. It took about 3 weeks for them to even ship my order, but I picked them up today and yes, they’re legit.
That said, the whole experience felt pretty shady. If I hadn’t kept pushing and filing complaints, I honestly don’t think they would’ve sent anything, especially since the same thing has happened to other people in the reviews.
I wouldn’t recommend buying from this site at all—this could easily happen to anyone. I just got lucky they finally came because I kept pressuring them. It’s pretty frustrating to see sites like this not keep their word and operate like this. Definitely don’t buy from here.
Español:
Después de insistirles bastante e incluso decirles que los iba a reportar y exponer como estafadores, por fin me llegaron las gafas de sol. Tardaron como 3 semanas solo en enviar el pedido, pero hoy finalmente las recogí y sí, son originales.
Dicho eso, toda la experiencia fue bastante sospechosa. Si no hubiera estado encima reclamando y presionando, sinceramente no creo que me hubieran enviado nada, sobre todo porque esto mismo ya le ha pasado a otras personas en las reseñas.
No recomiendo comprar en esta página para nada—esto le puede pasar a cualquiera. Yo simplemente tuve suerte de que al final llegaran porque seguí presionando. Es bastante frustrante ver páginas así que no cumplen su palabra y operan de esta manera. Definitivamente no compren aquí.
Second answer:
Thank you for your response.
However, I must strongly disagree with your characterization of the situation.
While you outline a timeline that appears compliant on paper, it does not fully reflect the actual customer experience. The main issue was not only the total delivery time, but the lack of proactive communication and the uncertainty surrounding the status of the order for several days.
Although you state that your handling time is approximately 7 working days, this is significantly longer than standard expectations in the market, especially when this is not clearly emphasized at the moment of purchase in a way that reflects the real waiting time experienced by the customer.
Additionally, the fact that tracking information was not active for a period of time contributed to the perception that the order had not yet been shipped. From a customer perspective, this creates uncertainty and undermines trust, regardless of internal processes.
Regarding your statement that the order would have been shipped regardless of my follow-ups, I find it difficult to ignore the timing, as the shipment occurred immediately after my inquiry. While this may be coincidental, it does not inspire confidence from a customer standpoint.
I acknowledge that delays caused by the courier may be outside your control. However, managing customer expectations and ensuring transparency throughout the process is fully within your responsibility.
I am glad that the product has finally arrived and is authentic. That said, the overall experience did not meet reasonable expectations in terms of communication and clarity.
I hope you take this feedback constructively to improve your customer experience going forward.

Dear Melanie,
We are glad to hear that you received your sunglasses and that you confirm they are authentic.
For clarity and transparency, we would like to go over the timeline of your order.
Your order was placed on March 24 and processed on March 25. As clearly stated on our website, our average handling time is approximately 7 working days, as each frame is ordered directly from the manufacturer. Your order was shipped on April 2, fully within our stated processing timeframe.
Delivery was completed on April 13. Any delay beyond shipment is attributable to the courier, very likely due to the Easter holiday period, which is outside of our control.
Regarding communication:
You contacted us on March 30 at 13:17 and received a reply the same day at 15:55.
You wrote again on April 1 at 19:44 (outside business hours), and we replied promptly on April 2 at 15:56, informing you that the product had just arrived and was being shipped.
At every stage, we responded politely, transparently, and within a reasonable timeframe.
We would also like to clarify that tracking updates only become active once the parcel is registered at the courier’s sorting facility, which can take some time after dispatch.
We understand that waiting can be frustrating, but stating that we would not have shipped your order without pressure is simply not accurate. Your order was processed and shipped according to our standard procedures and timelines.
We always strive to provide a high level of service and clear communication, and we regret that your perception does not reflect the actual timeline of events.
Kind regards,
Giarre.com Team

Superb quality once again.
I have been using Giarre.com for many years and I have always been thrilled with my glasses and lenses. So much cheaper than buying in the UK and the lenses are far superior than those you pay silly prices for in the UK. I just received my gorgeous new prescription and Guess frames and am absolutely thrilled. Perfect fit, superb clarity and balance in my varifocal lenses. Highly recommended.

Absolutely the worst experience ever
THIRD REPLY to Giarre on 07.04.26: lovely to read that you have no shame in admitting your company is not ready to own up for your mistakes... and for lying yet again.
Voucher=lost money. Especially when it comes to your company as, see below, you sell items that you don't have and never arrive at the buyer.
Technical advice: take an envelope, put a 20 euro bill in it, write my adress on the envelope, take it to the post office. Problem solved.
SECOND REPLY to Giarre on 03.04.26: basically giarre you are LYING! In my communication with Ms. Alice Verla she stated the following when referring to the extra shipment costs I had when I returned to you the wrongly sent item:
"I have discussed your request with our administration department, and we confirm that we can proceed with a direct reimbursement to your credit card instead of a voucher."
I didn't get the voucher, because I rejected it. So... you charge me for your mistake. Never ever in my worst nightmares would I buy anything from this company again and I would not recommend it to my worst enemy. Have a nice easter, Giarre. BTW i can keep doing this till the end of time... so bring it on.
REPLY to Giarre: as of today 02.04.26: I have NOT received reimbursement for the almost 20 euros I had to pay extra to RETURN THE WRONG ITEM to Giarre. The only thing I got from the interaction with Giarre is that I am 20 euros poorer. I put it in the hands of my Mastercard insurance. Ridiculous!!
Absolutely the worst experience ever. 1/5 because i can't give them a 0/5.
They sent the wrong item. I returned it to them with the obvious promise they would cover the return shipping costs, but they never reimbursed me for those costs. Not even after insisting. In my opinion simply fraud.
So 27 (twenty seven!!!) emails later, two months, no frames, no sunglasses, almost 20 euros gone for their outperforming incompetence. Thank god I am insured via Mastercard.
BTW: they admitted in the mail that the frame they sent was a mistake on the pictures they have on their webpage.

Dear Paula,
We understand your frustration and we sincerely apologize if our previous explanations regarding technical limitations felt like an excuse. It was never our intention to withhold what is owed to you.
To resolve this once and for all, our administration is evaluating an exception to our standard procedures. Since our payment processor cannot technically 'reverse' a sum that was never paid to us, we are available to refund the 20 Euros via bank transfer (IBAN).
Please provide your banking details by replying to our latest email thread. Once received, our administration will process the payment as quickly as possible to ensure you are fully reimbursed for the return shipping.
We hope this concrete step demonstrates our commitment to taking responsibility for our initial mistake and brings this matter to a fair conclusion for you.
Best regards,
The Giarre.com Team

I was initially wary of their return policy based on concerns that Customs Officials might disallow frames (they have done so previously), but I risked it and all worked out well. The etnia Barcelona frames are great and they were inexpensive, even including international shipping. I'd buy from Giarre again.

Do NOT Purchase - Buyer Beware
I purchased a pair of sunglasses for $368 using PayPal pay by 4. Shortly after my first payment I received an email from Alice at Giarre saying they wouldn’t be in stock for 6 weeks and I could wait or cancel for a full refund. I chose the refund. Days went by and no sign of it. I then have 3 more follow up emails with Alice telling me she would request the refund straight away and would cancel the order. As my 2nd payment loomed and no cancellation occurred I contacted PayPal and put in a dispute. My mistake I only made the claim for the first payment as I thought PayPal would just cancel the rest. After a bit of a mess around Giarre finally refunded 3/4 of my payment. I contacted them to ask where the further $92 was and got a robotic answer saying they had fulfilled the amount I requested so the case was closed! Unbelievable! No wonder people suffer anxiety when there are scam companies out there preying on sucking up your cash!

Dear Kylie,
we are very sorry to hear about your experience and understand how frustrating this situation must have felt.
After your order was placed, we promptly informed you that the selected model and color were not immediately available and would require additional time. For this reason, we offered you the option to either wait or receive a full refund.
At the same time as your reply requesting the refund, a PayPal dispute was opened for part of the payment. As your purchase was made using PayPal Pay in 4, refunds must be processed through PayPal and strictly follow the amount included in the dispute.
We therefore immediately refunded the exact amount requested via PayPal. The remaining installments are managed directly by PayPal and are unfortunately outside of our control.
We always aim to act with transparency and professionalism, and we regret that this situation has led to a misunderstanding. We also take statements such as being described as a “scam company” very seriously, as this does not reflect our way of working. Giarre.com has been operating online since 1996, serving customers with reliability and care.
If you need any further clarification or assistance, we are here to help.
Kind regards,
