Sturdy, durable frames
How Does it Work
With 1800+ frames and lens options to spare, Jins definitely has bragging rights in the industry. Jins also makes the buying process very easy. You can order everything online, and for standard specs, you’ll have them in no time flat. Here’s how:
Choose your frames
Jins has a lot of options, so this might be the hardest part. Browse through the selection, and use the filters to narrow down your choices. You can filter by color, shape, material, and more. Find a frame you love, and get busy.
Virtual try-on
Jins has a cool virtual try-on feature. Just take a selfie and see what you’ll look like in your new frames. You can digitally fit your glasses to your face directly on the site (no app required), which is a nice added benefit. Don’t like it? Switch to another frame and see how they look as well.
Customize
Once you have your frames picked out, it’s time to customize them. You can choose different lens options like polarized or photochromic lenses. There is also a good variety of sunglass tints and gradients to choose from.
Order and receive
Finally, place your order by adding shipping and payment information. And then just wait for your frames to arrive.
Pricing
Jins has close to 2000 frames to choose from, starting at $60. Jins throws in your lenses for free, though that’s only if you have clear single vision lenses, i.e., no specialty lenses or unusual prescriptions. But if you have regular lenses, this is a great deal. Free lenses are thin and include anti-glare, UV filter, prism correction, and distortion minimizer. Jins also has cool features for more advanced lenses that you’ll pay extra for, including:
Tinted lenses
$100
Photochromic lenses
$120
Polarized lenses
$120
Jins Screen Regular Use
$60 (free with promo)
Jins Screen Heavy Use
$100 (free with promo)
Jins Screen Night Use
$100
Jins also has a good referral program. If someone you refer to the site orders glasses, you and your friend will both get 30% off. That’s a hefty discount. And you can refer as many people as you want.
Types of Glasses
In addition to the boatload of frames you can choose from, Jins has more than 10 different lenses you can peruse. So you really get a ton of variety with this brand. Some options include:
Ultra-Lightweight glasses (5 grams)
Polarized
Photochromic
Performance
Prescription sunglasses
Jins also has blue light filtering glasses. Called Jins Screen, the filter reduces eye strain that’s common with people who spend a lot of time on their phones or in front of the computer (i.e., everyone).
Refunds and Returns
Jins has a great refund and return policy. Thanks to the 30-day money-back guarantee, with no questions asked, Jins will pay for your return shipping if you aren’t happy with the product. You’ll receive a return ticket from Jins upon request. Add that to the shipping box that the glasses came in. Once the glasses are received by the company, your account will be credited with the purchase price. Frames and lenses also come with a limited 1-year warranty that covers damages or faulty parts. But there’s a catch. Self-inflicted damages and scratches aren’t covered.
Customer Service
Jins has customer service available through phone or email. You can also reach out via live chat, which is available 24/7. That’s top quality service right there. Jins has an FAQ section with a lot of useful information and a blog with great articles about everything to do with glasses, vision, and related topics.
