email I got today. I don't usually opt into class actions but I feel like I got hosed. $20 is better than nothing

• Costa Del Mar, Inc.

I got it too.

$20 check I could see myself not even looking for and trashing.

$20 product voucher is even more worthless....have to spend $100+ to utilize unless i guess someone were to go buy glasses cleaner, case, etc...

Same here. Got that email yesterday, didn't feel it was worth the time to fill out whatever they needed and send it in.

next time you guys see a $20 bill on the sidewalk and decide it's not worth your trouble to bend over and pick it up, do me a favor and let me know where it was?

If I could put the $20 towards the shipping on my next return I'd be fine with that.

I read through that email also and from my interpretation you don't have to opt IN. Just opt OUT. The way I read it, they will send you the money or voucher or whatever regardless (minus one of the Florida repair or warranty groups).

Anyone feel free to correct me

Also won't be final til spring 2021 at the earliest so this could be 8-12 months from now before we see a dime

That was my interpretation as well.

LOL. We are in a pandemic. Could have COVID cooties.

I would gladly take cash but the voucher is far less enticing. Will make me spend more than I get. Probably a win for Costa.

I still haven't gotten my glasses. They've stopped responding to my emails.

Well crap I need to send my glasses in for warranty work. Safe to do so?

Thought I would post an update on my recent experience.

I had a pair of Zane 580P with blue mirror purchased in July 2017.

Glasses started to get a little scratched but were still good enough. Recently the rubber tips at the end fell off and the plastic wrapped around started to fall off.

1/7/21- submitted warranty claim
1/8/21- received confirmation that frames were covered, received prepaid shipping label, and shipped out
1/12/21- damaged glasses received by costa
1/19/21- received same model replacement

I was not charged any fee and received same model replacement.

I know not everyone's experience has been this good, but I'm pretty happy with the outcome.
