As I recall, they delivered only a day, maybe 2, after the original expected delivery date.

They were a bit on the heavy and tight side, uncomfortably so, so the next month I ordered one pair from Zenni.

The Zenni glasses were lighter, didn't require any finessing to get a comfortable fit, came with more included features that Coastal charges extra for, frames didn't "look" as cheap in person, and they even included a kind of ruler/gauge (made of cardstock), handy for double-checking your PD (pupillary distance) for accuracy.
