Sunglasses Sourcing Comparisons
Four side-by-side tables to settle the decisions that shape your sunglasses program: frame material, lens type, sourcing channel and shipping terms.
Most sourcing mistakes come from comparing options in the abstract. These tables put the real trade-offs side by side so you can match each choice to your budget, market and use case. Recommended columns reflect the best all-round option for a typical first program — your ideal choice may differ, and we are happy to advise.
Acetate vs TR90 vs Metal frames
The frame-material decision drives cost, weight, color and durability. See our frame materials guide for detail.
Lens types: Polarized vs Gradient vs Mirror
The lens defines performance and price. Full detail in our lens technology guide.
Factory-direct vs Trading agent vs Marketplace
How you source affects price, control and compliance. See sourcing & compliance.
Incoterms: FOB vs CIF vs DDP
Shipping terms decide who handles freight, duty and risk. More in our logistics guide.
LumiShades offers all three terms. FOB Ningbo gives experienced importers the most control; DDP gives newcomers and e-commerce sellers a single delivered price.
