Does anyone know of an online store that lets you try on frames for glasses before you buy them?

I remember coming across an online glasses store that would actually send you a few frames to try on (I think you had to leave a deposit) before you actually made the purchase. Of course now I can’t for the life of me remember the store. Please help!

I don’t know any online stores, but every physical store will let you try on as many frames as you like before buying them.
Yeah I know that but the point is I don’t want to physically go to the store! I prefer online shopping for a number of reasons – mainly cos it’s cheaper and so I don’t have to deal with pushy salespeople.
@tko7800 I think this is one time you have to actually go to the store. I’ve had really good luck with the people at LensCrafters not being pushy.
I order my glasses from Zenni Optical They are really affordable and I’ve never been anything but pleased. I don’t know if they send out frames to try before you decide what to purchase, but, they are worth a look.
I would suggest going to try on frames in a store without any intention to buy. Find some you like and then order them online.
@Seelix That’s what I did to get an idea of what liked or what looked good on me. I also got a ruler that measured millimeters so I could measure my current glasses to see how they matched up to what I wanted to order.
Thanks for the help guys but I actually found the store I was thinking of. It’s www.warbyparker.com
Well, now I know where to go to get that monocle I’ve always wanted! Awesome!
zenni optical has a program where you upload a picture of yourself and try on their glasses that way. But I don’t know of any other place that lets you try them on apart from that…..
EyeBuyDirect.com, Zenni Optical, GlassesShop.com, I think they all do. You just download a picture of yourself and they superimpose the glasses on your face.
