I ordered sunglasses through this store's website, www.SunglassSales.com . So far, the service has…read morebeen great. Not only do they carry the retired pair of Maui Jim sunglasses my mom loves, Gary responded almost immediately to my order assuring me that it was placed, it would SHIP FOR FREE the next day (I ordered at night), and that it would come with a case, lens cleaner, neck cord, and more.

I ordered Maui Jim's Pipiwai trail glasses (retired) and the order process was ok. When I received…read morethe glasses I instantly knew something was wrong with one of the lenses. No matter how much I cleaned it, the spot woould not budge and it was not a scratch a spot was embedded in the lenses. I emailed Gary and said I thought he sold me rejects or seconds from Maui Jim's and he did not say. He said to return and he would refund my money. What I am unhappy about is I spent $17.00 to return defective glasses and told Gary he should refund my shipping charges because I was returning defective glasses sold to me and was not retuning because I didn't like them. Any reputable business would either give you their UPS account for a return of this nature or reimburse the customer. For this reason I will never purchase from this company again and I will advise my friends and family to do the same, thus the reason for my low rating. Joyce

This Jack's is split into two almost separate spots, with women's being on one side and men's being on the other. This one definitely had a smaller selection of Rainbow flipflops than what I was used to at the other Jack's location. Which was totally fine. My sister wanted a pair so it was very limited of which ones they had. Thus, I found some for her, but yeah, that was a bit disappointing. BUT I did get a really cute sweatshirt for half off. They always have good deals for sure! It was only $25 for it. We also got baby boy a t-shirt he will have to grow into haha. But of course he needed one! We came back the next day to get my husband something, too. He wanted a t-shirt, too. We also got a towel for $5 since we spent over $100 which was pretty cool. Definitely will be bringing that to the beach next year. The girl that checked us out was nice, but I didn't really see any other staff walking around to help people out even though it was pretty busy.

Greeted right when we walked in. Huge surf shop/store. So many great brands. Men's clothing galore…read more Also, stance socks, viori clothes. Sunglasses for woman & men. Great shoe/sandal options. Nice selection of vans too. I got a great Mexican beach blanket for $24. Also came back for a sidewalk sale & got a jack's surfboard sweatshirt for $23. It was 50% off.

Not a huge selection of women's rainbows sadly

I've been searching online to get an idea of some nice prescription sunglasses but that's one of those things you have to try on before you buy. I always struggle with my face shape to find glasses that go well with my face. Jojo was so helpful and the first pair she picked out for me was it! I tried them on and loved them. I had my prescription emailed over to me from my eye doc office in Vegas and Jojo said she'd have my sunglasses ready the next morning! I was so worried they wouldn't be ready because we were leaving town to go back home the next day. Sure enough I stopped in the next morning right after our 10am checkout and they were ready!! I'm so glad I stopped into this shop. The wide variety is hard to come across in Vegas and there's no way I would have gotten them back with prescription lenses in 24 hours.

I purchased the last pair of the sunglasses I wanted, and Shannon took the time to clean them thoroughly and carefully get everything ready for me.

I really appreciated how warm and professional she was, especially considering how busy the store was. Shannon made the whole experience so much better. Amazing customer service and definitely deserves recognition. Thank you, Shannon!

The Ray-Ban store at Fashion Island has some of the worst customer service I've experienced, and…read moreafter looking through the Google reviews, I can see this is clearly not an isolated experience. At first, I thought maybe I had simply encountered a bad employee or an unfortunate situation. After my experience this weekend, I genuinely believe the bigger issue is that Ray-Ban has completely abandoned this location when it comes to proper training, support, and management. The two employees working there honestly looked like they had been left on a sinking ship with no one coming to help. They seemed overwhelmed and, more importantly, they clearly weren't equipped or properly trained to handle what should have been a basic transaction. How can you expect employees to provide good customer service when they aren't even given the tools or training to properly do their jobs? What makes this even more disappointing is that I don't necessarily blame the employees themselves. It felt like they were put in a position to fail. The responsibility falls on Ray-Ban and whoever is managing this location. I came in fully prepared to give Ray-Ban my money, but the experience was so frustrating that it genuinely made me question whether I even wanted to purchase from the brand anymore. Ray-Ban is a well established, recognizable company. You've built the name and the reputation, but that shouldn't mean you can stop caring about the people walking into your stores. I'm honestly in disbelief that a company of this size would allow a retail location to operate this way, especially when the Google reviews appear to show a consistent pattern of customers having similar experiences. This isn't just about one bad interaction. It's about feeling like the company simply doesn't care. Ray-Ban, please do better. Your employees deserve better support, and your customers deserve better service.

OC Optometry listed at #1. We pulled into the parking lot at 12:00 pm on a Wednesday afternoon - big mistake! The lunch crowd congests every facet of the small business center like holiday shoppers swarming around a Cabbage Patch Kids promotional sale at a 1984 Toys R' Us mega store.
