Really happy with my purchase
Really happy with my purchase - the sunglasses arrived quickly and were packaged well.
I was also really happy with the communication and also the delivery service they used - I paid for a next day delivery and they arrived by dhl with an allocated 1 hour window for delivery, so I wasn't waiting around all day.
The item was also a really good price, they were bought as a gift for someone and recipient was very happy with them. I'd never bought anything from Shade Station previously, but I will be a returning customer in the future!
