I reeeaaally look forward to hearing how this turns out, Old Dog! You said in a previous post that they were coming from India, right? What was shipping cost and how long is it supposed to take?

Also, just to try and give you a morsel of relief; "Local" businesses that are selling glasses, probably aren't making them. Their supplies are probably coming from the same people that you ordered from, and then being sold at their prices...So buy local when things are handmade, but buy mass produced things wherever they are the best bang for your buck.
If this website treats you good, I may be using them in the near future!
