Jacques Marie Mage (JMM) - Sunglasses and Frames…
-
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.
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.
-
I see. Bizarre. So, what — the glasses are held in customs until you can provide a certificate?
-
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.

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
-
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.

@Kasi
talked to Corissa yesterday
thank you for thinking of me and giving info ! -
So I had no idea JMM was a "thing" until I came across this thread today. Anyway, I was at Atelier Mira in Brooklyn over the weekend to pick out some new frames from the upcoming collection. These are pre-order to be delivered in July. Went with the Lacy (really liked the ecru (left), but went with ink (right) as a more practical choice):
For reference, my current pair is the Lee in black/clear (002/150):

@jskidder those look great! I'm going to have to think about getting those. The arrowheads on the side don't look like the traditional JMM ones. Are they different?

Inbound, and cant wait. Though they are likely to become @Madame Buttonfly 's readers
