Zurich Glasses
Just spent several hours trying to track down a Canadian retailer for the Zurich glasses, and after contacting them directly, there is no longer, apparently the owner of AJservice has passed away.
I did order 3 sets directly (@ $180 per set after all the fees are in) In the process of closing down my business of 20 years and looking to start something on a smaller basis (inventory wise) So question is: Is there any interest in having a Canadian Retailer? Is the product still Liked? Pricing out of the US is frightening with the exchange, shipping, duties. I'm confident that the pricing per set could be reduced a fair bit making it more feasible to Canadians. I've used Zurich for years, and love the clear visibility you get with them, and their warranty and support is next to none. Still some details to work out with them, but thought I would do some fishing and see what the interest might be. Please chime in. |

Re: Zurich Glasses
Lots of options for fitover sunglasses. I bought Cocoon brand at Cabela's for icefishing, use 'em for flying and driving too. No longer available there, but available at Cdn retailers and even Amazon. Seem like decent quality.

The lenses have been excellent, but the "rubber-like" compound they used to coat the ear loops began to fall apart. They have a lifetime warranty and I've used that replacement warranty twice. Cheers folks! |
