Jacques Marie Mage (JMM) - Sunglasses and Frames…

@Daniel:

Just ordered a pair of Taos
Really excited, hope it will not take ages to arrive from the States

I hope the seller included the right documentation. You need a "drop ball test" to import glasses into the US. It's been a huge pain in the a$$ each time I bought a pair from abroad.

Read that sometime ago

Something to with lens when importing to U.S

Has to be label right

When going exporting out of USA shouldn’t be a problem

[Giles]

Daniel is exporting from US….

[Daniel San]

Correct Giles
should be ok I live in Germany
Bought direct from the HQ in Los Angeles . It says express shipping 🥳 1-5 days …..

[Kasi]

Who are they shipping with

FedEx, DHL or UPS

[Daniel San]

Don’t know Kasi
Maybe I didn’t found it , it just says "international express order 1-5 days)
I will know when I get the shipping notification with tracking number.
Will let you know then !
I hope it’s not USPS , not the best experiences with them.
Hope for UPS

[Giles]

If you are getting them in 1-5 days, no way will it be USPS 

[Daniel San]

That’s what my bad experiences are with USPS .
2-3 weeks are normal with USPS , tracking lost almost all the time and so on . They suck !

[Kasi]

From what I know is

Seen in Manchester gets it’s s via FedEx

Am thinking it will be FedEx

USPS compete shit take up to 30 days

curious about what this was so I looked it up. I'm shocked that there are legislations regarding everyday glasses and sunglasses.. wow.

Interesting @JDelage … were any of the glasses produced by an American company like JMM? I've wondered if there was any downside to ordering a pair of JMMs from, say, End Clothing or somewhere else that had a particular pair I wanted in stock. So basically... if a pair is produced by a US company, shipped to a European retailer, then purchased by an American buyer, I wonder if it has to then pass the drop test

Oy.

[Kasi]

I have order 2 pair’s  from End clothing..

Very good customer service

Am in the U.K. make it’s easier for me

Made in Japan

[JDelage]

They don't care where the pair was produced. Any pair getting into the US needs a certificate. Now, to be fair, they don't care who gets them the certificate, and JMM cust service will provide you with one should you need it.

[popvulture]

I see. Bizarre. So, what — the glasses are held in customs until you can provide a certificate?

[JDelage]

Yep. Depending on cases I have either sought and obtained a certificate (from JMM) or wrote one myself (they just need a "certificate" to release the watch. They don't care if you fill the form yourself.) For RX frames, I have requested the seller send the frames without the placeholder lenses, and mark the package as "glass frames with no lenses". That has worked too.

[Daniel San]

Ok guys, got a message from JMM HQ Los Angeles regarding shipping.
They ship with UPS
Thank God it’s not USPS, otherwise I might ended as a Christmas present

[popvulture]

Oh yeah JMM would never ship internationally with USPS. I don't really know many companies that would do that, period, especially not a high end one like JMM.

Also, a decision I came to today: think I'm gonna sell my Dealn 53 Noirs. I'll do the whole Buy/Sell thread post but just thought I'd throw it out here first in case it piques anyone's interest. Holler if so.
