Insane prices!

I have been a customer at Hakim in Whitby for a few years as has my husband. I realized their prices were higher than most places but I appreciated the one year warranty. It seems I always ended up paying $300 out of pocket over what my fairly decent benefit plan covered. Over a year ago I purchased 2 sets of glasses from Hakim with their buy one get one free promo, and paid $710 for both frames and lenses. You never know what you're being charged, as they don't post their prices, but punch everything into a handheld calculator. It's not until you pay, that you get a breakdown. This week, I took one of the pairs of glasses back to Hakim, to see if they could replace the lenses as they were scratched. The price they gave me, to replace the lenses was $700 - the price I paid for two new frames and lenses about 18 months earlier! Ridiculous!!! I checked online and I am shipping the frames to BC to have the lenses replaced for $150 including coating and premium lenses
