Just checked 39dollarglasses.com -- selected photochromic lenses (where the lenses change from dark to light) -- the add-on charge for the lenses alone is $39.95 -- that's before shipping and before the cost of the frames.  Not sure where you got $42 for the whole shebang -- you're not comparing apples to apples.
My bad. I thought the "Transition VI (sun sensor)" meant sunglasses and the tint was something you could add on afterwards. Thanx for the clarification!  8) Now if I could just find a frame which would pass for sunglasses and not glasses with a tint :P

Try the yellow or green acetate frames -- they would look good with a brown tinted lens.  If they're not great, you're only out $20  :(

I just ordered them last week -- I'll post when they come in and let you know how they look in person.  Lens size is fairly small -- so may not be the best for sunglasses.

+1, though I'm looking specifically for polarized (not tinted).

Yeah. Mine worked out well. They just always end up appearing smaller online than in person, so be careful.

Worse case scenario, you can return it.

Thanks. Where did you get it? How much was it?
I haven't done this before, but I'm willing to try. I assume that they'll be cheaper than the stores in BP.
How do they go about the lenses? When do they cut them? Can you return them if they were cut already?
Thank you

I used Coastal and bought three pairs. I sent each one to a different address to qualify for the "first pair free" deal. IIRC, it ended costing approx $9 for each pair. Even after they send you the lenses with your prescription, you can still return for a full refund for 365 days.

A friend of mine once asked an optometrist about buying these glasses, as he thought they maybe detrimental to his eyes (low quality). After the doc, checked into it, he started buying from Coastal, Zenni, etc....

If you have any other questions, feel free to ask.

Thank you. I'm now embarrassed to say how much I paid for mine in a store....

One question. Can you get first pair free if you choose several and return all but one?

With a different email address and name you can get more than one to begin with.

I wasn't thinking in that direction. When you pay $250, you only get one....

Where can I get good prescriptioned sunglasses online? I ordered once from Zenni and had a bad experience, although I did win the dispute with Amex.

Also, the terms say that "first pair free" is not eligible for "try before you buy". What is that?
