GlassesOnWeb.ca: designer eyewear sold online from Toronto

GlassesOnWeb.ca is a Canadian online eyewear retailer that began operating in 2004. The company presents itself as offering competitive prices and a broad selection of designer frames, and states that it stands behind the quality of its customer support. Its warehouse is located in Toronto, Ontario, and orders are described as shipping from Canada, without cross-border fees.
