Found my old X Metals, now what

Definitely a Dart Vader guy

If do you a little searching here you'll find that Oakley UK is the last place to send your x-metals for a tuneup these days. At best they'll mangle the job, at worst you'll never see your frames again.

Honestly, that was all a bit overblown. There were a couple of problems but many more that went through fine - I never had a single issue. Not sure they do offer it any more though.

There is the customs issue with sending it to the US, even with them being marked as repairs. I don’t think the X-Man accepts signed for deliveries either, unless that’s changed? Both make that a non-starter for me.

Oakley Europe have been fine with me, all tunes were free too. The last one they did was a bit mediocre though. Considering how many pairs they've done I'll guess the loss rate is pretty low so I'd be fine with sending in a normal Juliet that is easily replaced, but not a special one. Since this is a XX that is harder to replace I'd be a bit vary of sending it in..

When it’s a rare pair, I swap the arms before sending them in - that’s the rare bit after all! Lenses are out anyway.

Not sure I’d risk JBRs now, though one pair was done just before I bought them.

I just dug mine out too. They're desperately in need of the nose bridge doing, but being in the UK options are limited. Hoping Oakley UK can do it for me

I believe they are the original Juliets from about 2000?

@NuttyOAK13Y he can help u and is in the UK

 

[Fizzy]

["TRUMP"]

@NuttyOAK13Y tell me more

Just send them to me. I'll keep good care. My address is the white house

 

[OakleyOneKenobi]

Yeah, I'm somewhat concerned. Not even sure Oakley UK offer the service anymore, I'm waiting to hear back

But I don't like the idea of having to ship them to and from the US unfortunately, I seem to be unlucky when shipping internationally...

The service stopped summer 2017
