Very disappointing. I made an appointment online for meta display about 2 weeks ago in this store. I have my booking detail. It said my appointment is scheduled and i should print the confirmation. (I have the booking confirmation screenshot) On the day, the store couldn't find my appointment at all. Been waiting for 2 weeks for nothing. At least they could offer me a demo. What a waste of time.

I bought Ray-Ban Meta Wayfarer Gen2 from Sunglass Hut at 590 5th Ave, New York City on Nov 8th Saturday morning with my wife and my baby. I already had a very good purchasing experience at this same store when buying Ray-Ban Meta Display, so I visited again to buy another pair. Last time it was Kin who helped me. This time “Wendy” helped me choose the best pair of sunglasses. She was very knowledgeable and very kind. Because of what Kin and Wendy has provided me, I will definitely visit this store again if I need a pair of sunglasses. Thank you both for the best customer experience!

It’s my first time in New York and I want to bring home something memorable. I stepped into sunglass hut without no intention of buying anything (I did lost my sunglasses a couple weeks before lol). Lillian was super patient and very helpful, ended up going home with a pair of sunglasses and this cleaning kit with the New York special edition!
