Sometimes I even measure an existing frame with a ruler before ordering anything new. If a piece of jewelry keeps its color and does not irritate the skin, I consider it a win. If a deal looks too good to be true, it usually has some kind of catch. A simple pair of glasses or a basic jacket that always works is worth a lot. Good stitching usually means the item will not fall apart after one or two washes. I like when a shop clearly shows PD, lens height and bridge width in millimeters.
If anyone is interested in real user experiences, I sometimes write short notes about the shops I test.

In the end there is no perfect shop, but some stores are clearly more consistent. Even big and famous brands sometimes send generic replies that are not very helpful. Now I am more careful with impulse buys and limited time offers. If many different people say the same thing about a product, it is worth paying attention. A simple and honest answer like e do not have that option?is better than marketing fluff. I prefer simple designs that do not depend only on heavy filters in the pictures.
Hope this helps someone.
