I see a big USA on the Ebay page, but it appears obvious it's a Chinese=20
product. A year ago, I ordered a set of Rayban sunglasses from a place=20
in Seattle, thinking they would get shipped from Seattle. hey were=20
shipped from China, they weren't anywhere near delivering in a month. I=20
checked the street address on Google map, and found it was the office of=20
the main Seattle newspaper. I canceled the order, refused the USA post=20
shipment, and eventually  got my money back. I would check the actual=20
shipping address, and that  USA seems very misleading, and if they are=20
untruthfully about that, do you want to do business with them??


Might check this. I have done buisness with them several times, with=20
good problems.
