Scam/overpriced products

Recently, I purchased a new pair of glasses not knowing that I would be overpaying for the designer frames. I also wasn't aware that I had purchased men's frames because the sales clerk failed to inform me. I am unsure whether she knew if they were men's frames or if she intentionally mislead me. Anyway, I was more concerned about the price. Can VE 1121 cost 389 dollars? I had my doubts so I researched my frames and discovered that it cost a hundred dollars less (215). I am uncertain whether to exchange them for another frame since their receipt says that they don't offer refunds just exchanges.
A word of advice: Research your frames before purchasing... make sure you are certain of the designer, style and price before shelling out your hard earned cash.

Overpriced Frames

I went into this place, they greeted me well, told my insurance would cover the eye exam only and 20% of on the frames.Everything went well till the point came to choose the frame.We liked some and they started showing me frames of unheard brands and all their prices starting from 300$ plus...ridiculous.., when u can get a D&G tortoise frame for 319$..and then i cheked the prices of more branded ones, like prada, d&g, bvlgari etc and they all listed a store sticker in the range of 500 to 600$ for a frame!! ridiculous when those models i checked had a retail price of 300 to 400$..i told them that these prices are too high compared to the normal retal list price(for eg in lenscrafters)..then they gave me a reason that lenscarfters can sell for that price coz they own the company which manufacture for most of the designers.c'mon then why would someone go to cohens!!..haha..Then i told them clearley that i want a branded frame at a resonable price and after all the blabbering and discount i got a calivin klein frame for 437$ and the retail ist price of the same is only 295$ and shows around 172$ online(framesdirect).They treated me like as if they are doing a great favour when showing the different frames and the ladies there are horrible and mocking.The eye doctor and another african american sales woman was giving me mocking smiles and looks as if i am doing some grave mistake by asking for an itemised bill.and it turned out that they wont put the brand name or model number on the bill which would proabaly get them out of a law suit.which they probably wont.

This is the most horrible place you can go for eyeglassess.Never go there..
1)Frames Collection-Horrible(only 2-3 models from deisgner brands.just name sake)
2)Customer Service-Very Bad.They might even abuse you if you ask for a prescription and itemised bill
3)Price-Way too high-Unheard brands are listed at 300 to 400$(USD).while u can get a designer brand with swaroski crystals at 300$ at lenscrafters.

Had a very bad experience.Felt like we were trapped since there is no refund.Horrible!!!
