• Expiry: 12th May 2013

I’ve mentioned this before, but glasses were a hard thing in my family, specifically for my Mom. We didn’t have a lot of money growing up, and glasses weren’t cheap. It was hundreds of dollars for glasses, but she always managed to get them for me when I needed them. I think it’s so cool that nowadays, single moms and low income families don’t have to worry about glasses, they can just pick up a pair of $10 frames with lenses at a place like Firmoo. With this coupon, you can get any frames with lenses for 50% off.

Shipping varies depending on where you are, but for me it’s about $12. If you’re in Canada, it should be around that. I can’t imagine it being much more. I will warn you that shipping is very slow since it’s your standard “direct from a factory in China” kind of deal.

Been a long time Firmoo customer? Brand new to the awesomeness that is Firmoo? Doesn’t matter, they’ve got a deal for you!

I’m a repeat customer of Firmoo but I’m kind of Jealous of my past self. I’m jealous of past Shawn because he got a FREE pair of glasses from Firmoo. If you already has a past self who got FREE glasses from Firmoo, the coupon above is for you. We’ll talk about that in a second though. Right now, if you are a past self without any Firmoo glasses I want you to go there and get your FREE pair. Just image how jealous future you will be! It’ll drive future you crazy! You could even email a picture of yourself wearing them to your future self!  All you have to do is pay for shipping.

You hear how smug that past self is? Is that an email of your past self wearing the free glasses?! What a jerk. Well, you can’t get a free pair but at least you can get 20% off and FREE shipping! Past self didn’t get free shipping. Take that past self!

In case it wasn’t clear in my mad ramblings, the FREE pair is only for new customers and the coupon can only be used if you are a returning customer. I should note that the wording of the deal almost makes you think it’s only available on certain glasses but I tried it on a few random pairs and the coupon worked on all of them. Firmoo.com is in USD and ships from China.

Glasses help you see, right? Well how well are you going to see with the sun in your eyes? How well are you going to see when, while blinded by the sun, you careen off an overpass and land in a tree whose branches horribly mangle your face? Not very well. Getting sunglasses from Firmoo.com could, no, WILL, save you from a horrible face mangling tree and they’ll do it for 30% off.

Ok, maybe it won’t save you from a horrible face-mangling crash but it could! But it probably won’t… Regardless, this is a good deal. I’m getting a new pair of glasses soon (because I stepped on mine….) and maybe, just maybe I’ll get  a pair of sunglasses too.

They definitely have some great styles too. They have everything from those giant bug eye sunglasses that all the young people are wearing these days (get off mah lawn y’dang kids!) to some more conservative frames for old men like me.

BONUS DEAL!!

If your order is over $55, you get free shipping to Canada!

• Coupon Code: FREESHIP
• Discount: FREE shipping to Canada on orders of $55 of more

I can see clearly now the price has dropped! All because of Johnny Nash and Firmoo!

• Click here to get $10 glasses @ Firmoo.com!

Ok, maybe Johnny Nash hasn’t helped me see any clearer but it’s a good song, isn’t it? Firmoo is the opposite of Johnny Nash. They can’t sing even a little bit but they have helped me see clearer. Well, they did until my son broke my glasses. Anywho, that’s a story for later. Right now they have 32 pairs of glasses discounted to $9.99. Like I said in the title, the original prices range from $30 to $17.50 so your savings will vary depending on what you get.

I know a fair number of people out there don’t trust companies like Firmoo. I understand completely. We’re used to paying hundreds of dollars for glasses, so getting them for $10 seems like an insane concept. It must be a scam, right?

Nope! It’s not. I’ve ordered a pair from Firmoo and the were great. My son broke them ($400 glasses would have broken too, it wasn’t a quality issue) so I didn’t have them for too long but while I did, they were great. I’m actually ordering two more pairs tonight. I even emailed them to see if there was a warranty on the glasses. There was no warranty against customer damage but they did give me a coupon code, which was very nice of them.

At this price you can buy glasses as accessories. Many of the glasses in this sale have cool colour combinations so you can pick glasses out that will go with just about any outfit or be appropriate for any situation.

I count myself among the poorly sighted in Canada and Firmoo.com is an absolute God-send. Of course they are an American company but we’re still allowed to like them, right?

Let me tell you why I like Firmoo.com and then I’ll tell you about the deals. This is the portion of the show where I act like your Dad did when you asked him for money. A 15 minute speech about how money doesn’t grow on trees before he hands of the $20 you need to go to the movies. So have a seat and listen to me talk about how glasses don’t grown on trees. Wait.. What?

If you don’t care, skip the next two paragraphs.

Nevermind. Ok so I have two reasons to love Firmoo.com. The first is that in the past few months I’ve broken two pairs of glasses. I was at my Dads and was sleeping on the couch. I took my glasses off and put them on the floor next to the couch. When I woke up the next morning they were in two pieces a few feet from the couch. I have no idea how what happened to them but they were broken so I moved on. Recently I got a free pair of glasses from Firmoo.com (that’s foreshadowing) but, alas, less then a week after I got them, they broke. I was wresting on the bed with my toddler and had taken my glasses of and put them off to the side. Perhaps inevitably, he reached for them and, succumbing to a tickle attack from me, fell on them, breaking the lens. Mind you the frame didn’t break, but rather the lens. So, needless to say, I break a lot of glasses and cheap glasses from Firmoo.com is super awesome.

The second reason I love Firmoo.com is a bit more serious. My mom struggled a lot with money growing up. She always put a roof over my head and gave me awesome stuff but it was a struggle. Part of that struggle was that I needed glasses. Now at that age I didn’t need them, there was a crooked optometrist who was sending everyone away with glasses but that is neither here nor there. At that time the only way to get glasses was to pay the hundreds of dollars that the stores charge. It was a terrible burden on my mom and I really resent it when companies take advantage of people due to a perceived level of expertise. If Firmoo.com can make glasses in a factory in china and sell them to me for $8 and still make a profit then there is no reason we should pay the insane prices at the stores. I understand having to charge a little bit more for designer brands or different materials, lenses, coatings, etc… but sometimes they are just trying to rip us off. I thank Firmoo.com for not making me pay out hundreds of dollars the I could put to better use elsewhere.

Enough of that! On to the deals! Deal the first is a coupon code to get 20% off + FREE shipping for any order of a return customer.

• Code: XMAS2012
• Discount: 20% off + FREE Shipping
• Expiry: 24th December 2012

Offer the second is one that my boss already featured but is still valid. It’s a free pair of glasses for new customers. You just pay shipping and for any extras like special lenses or coatings. The beauty about this is that once you get your free pair, you are officially a returning customer and can get your 20% off. With the 20% off + FREE shipping, depending on teh pair you get, you could end up paying less that your free pair cost!

Just an added note: I emailed Firmoo to see if there was a warranty or something (there was not) but they were really good and gave me a discout on my next pair!

(20% off + FREE Shipping Expires: 24th December 2012)

(Free Pair Expires: Unknown)

Firmoo is a US based optical store, that ships worldwide. And they’ve just re-launched their free eyewear promo, in which you can claim a free pair of prescription glasses, and pay only the shipping fee!

Now, just note that this offer does not apply to designer glasses, just their regular stock. When you are browsing the glasses, you will see a “get now” link towards the top left of the page – click this, and they will issue with a one-time use coupon code to use on your free glasses. You must use the coupon code within 2 hours, so be ready to order there and then. If you want to pay extra for customisation like different types of lenses, or added extras, you can do so… but the basic pair of glasses will be free.

I tested the deal out on a $20 pair of prescription frames, and it discounted them to zero. The shipping cost was $12.95 to Canada, which is really quite reasonable. You can even pay by paypal, if that’s handier for you.

I read that Firmoo only give out a certain number of free pairs per day – so if you cannot see the “get now” link on certain frames, maybe check in daily to make sure you get your freebie from Firmoo.
