can claim also not worth it?

my few experience dealing with local optical shops..

Opulence in IOI Mall gave the best customer service...for wide selection of "limited/special edition" oaks...check out England optical in Mid Valley...

reliance bangsar is average from my point of view...nothing to shout about...
they carry alot of other brands, if you are looking for just oaks then yeah it's just average..but if you are opening to other varieties with decent price...reliance is worth dropping by....

england is more fun to "window shop" if you know what i mean hehe..

If you physically buy from O store or any other authorised shop in the US then I personally think Revelstoke should accept it for warranty claim provided you can show the receipt...

Warranty comes from Revelstoke. From my last conversation with them few years back I was told that no proof of purchase from authorised shop means they won't accept the sunglasses even for servicing. I went there myself and spoke to the customer service lady.

On the other hand I also once spoken to a local "grey" importer here claims that the Oakley he sells there were no issue at all from Revelstoke not accepting it. How true I don't know as I have never had my oakleys required to be sent for warranty or had any issue.

What I see is, if you are concern on warranty...buy from authorised distributors...if budget is more important to you then save the 100-200 bucks for a grey import but make sure deep down inside your heart you truly believe it's really an original one...even if it's not you gotta tell yourself it is because you made that decision...And of course accept the risk if Revelstoke reject you if your Oakley required warranty claim...

unfortunately, oakley.com don't accept non US credit card nor ship out of US. Use any agent like comgateway and the total cost came to only about 80 bucks cheaper compare to buying from Focus Point. Done that myself...I find it...very stressful because of the waiting time and low savings lol...

I find this below method works better for these little savings:
if you are a Bonuslink card holder..

4800 BonusLink Points = Focus Point RM50 Cash Voucher

it's easily achieved in 1 year for me who only use it once a week for petrol...so if you have a whole family driving..supp them the card and get them to pump only Shell..this can easily help you buy an Oakley cheaper than from anywhere out of Malaysia..ORI with receipt and warranty...

damn I feel like some stingy auntie trying to save on every penny but this method works for me...heh

very nice collection, a pretty rare choice for ladies though...

good input..looks like the lady I spoke to may have practiced double standard? maybe I wasn't leng chai enough lol...

mind I ask when was this that you got it replaced?

ah so it's very recent and it's really great to hear that...

oakley.com? If you are using a non US credit card it's not accepted...no PayPal too...

nice...visited the US of A? From the purchase of your deviation?

RM100 is about right actually...the only way is bulk buy a few more and distribute the shipping cost...I might be interested in picking one up as well if there's a group buy

plus since oakley.com don't sell out of US there's additional 10% charge if you use hopshopgo's service. back to square one..no sales tax but "service charge" from agent.

revelstoke definitely not...have to use agent/proxy...shipping should not be more than 60USD (approx. 1KG and via fedex) so you need to have 6 items to level the shipping cost so it stays under RM100. Not very worth to save that few tens of ringgit unless you're getting some shades which is not available in Malaysia. And it has to have a price tag of above 500 in KL retail price (after standard discount).

I thought sunglasses is not taxable? I've done once 2yrs back...4 oakleys + 2 cases..total came to about 380USD just the value of the items...came in through fedex with no tax...I've heard people getting katana in without issue at all so I guess probably just luck sometimes whether they filter the package or not..I'd say go for it if we have enough interested parties hehe...

watch thread would have some interested I'd say

nice..should have gotten a signature series jupiter squared instead so you'll have all 3 signature series ones..vr46 perhaps? ...care to post some pics?

true..since I've got a USD190 package coming in..let's see...fingers crossed...

howdy all, so many nice collection list but no pics?

let me try to get the ball rolling



clear frame jupiter
polished crosshair 1.0
stripped monster dog (it's a project and am still looking for a good airbrush painter)
polished black monster dog


Ducati Juliet - I'm missing the ducati bag

in the car all the time are a pair of monster pup and max fearlight holbrook

Added on July 31, 2012, 3:04 amnone legit ones within the US except if you use middle person service...those that offer service here to help you buy from amazon/ebay...

I always go to Focus Point or England Optical


I could get hold of oakley shades from oakley.com directly if anyone is keen to do a bulk...price should be what's shown in the website + 10% service fee + USD25 shipping (each pair). Currency rate at USD1 = RM3.3 (charged by credit card). still cheaper than buying retail and this would include poslaju shipping to your door (within peninsular Malaysia) when they arrive me in KL (most probably can be covered within the USD25 shipping cost). The only down side of buying it from oakley.com is that you don't get the warranty as oakley doesn't give International warranty coverage. for servicing of x-metal shades Revelstoke would still accept them. Would need 3 pairs minimum to start. Limited to only sunglasses since apparel there's duty tax coming into Malaysia.

PM me if anyone is interested so we may chat...

P.S: MOG in Paradigm is selling regular holbrook at around RM570 after discount if I'm not mistaken so if you are going for a holbrook please buy from shop as oakley.com isn't selling them much cheaper after all the charges are included. (USD120 + 10% + USD25) X 3.3 = RM518.10. Better off top up that RM50 so you can get it on the spot and enjoy the local warranty too. Always research first before you buy. Just providing this bulk service for once for the time being coz I'm planning to get another pair so it'll be good to be able to share the shipping cost.

hey gpx I've PM-ed you

Iridium lens? Somehow a hit and miss thing. Oakley will tell you it's due to sweat. Some people say it's the way you clean it (or whatever you used to clean it). Some had no problem even using them for years. Suggest you just replace them.
