What happened to Fruper Ray Ban deals?

This morning I saw a link to the Fruper.com Ray Ban deal and after doing research, I saw that there were several other (at least 5), old Fruper Ray Ban deals. I ended up buying the Ray Bans however now, I cannot find the Fruper deal or any other similar Fruper deals. Anyone know why they were removed?

They where probably removed due to the fact that they where fake.

I think the F in Fruper stands for FAKE or FRAUD

They drop ship from dealextreme.com ... fake items, if you want them buy them for the source for less money and free shipping (shipping for them is pure profit)

I've been communicating back and forth with Fruper about RayBans I purchased from them a couple months ago. When I ordered I indicated that I wanted a certificate of authenticity, they said I would get one. The glass arrive and lo and behold, no certificate. I tell them this and they immediately refund my money and give me a 25 dollar gift certificate to their store. Then they hiked the price on the site from 40 to 150 dollars. Through the emails they maintained (and still do) that the sunglasses are legitimate. That being said, I took them to a friend who has worked as a RayBan retailer for 17 years and she told me they were fake.

Long story short, Fruper should not be trusted. I hope others can learn from this.

Damn well too late, I order them on February 9th and haven't received them yet so I emailed the company. Thanks for the information though. To be honest, if they're fake, they are really good fakes and I wouldn't mind buying really good fakes for $30 because I can't afford real ones for $115. I'll keep you posted.

@ryancooke: They are definitely sturdy and good fakes. My RayBan selling friend told me that if I had come in to the store and talked to one of her workers, they probably would have told me they were real, however there were a few very subtle things she indicated were not correct. The first being the greenness of the lenses is different, and also the stamps on the inside of the temple are too vivid, and inconsistent with the Wayfarers she had on display. Initially I thought she was being overly picky, but the last indication was that, if you look at the hinges when they're folded, the plastic where the temple meets the frame looks like it's been shaved down while the other Wayfarers showed no such indication.

I'd just say wait and see. They told me that it was irregular for the glasses to come without paperwork of any kind. I'd be interested to know what all you get in your box when it arrives.

@iraedorum: Yeah a part of me knew it was too good to be true but I've been looking into getting Ray Bans for a while. I'll let you know if I get any paperwork in my box. It'd be interesting if they do send paperwork saying they are real when they really are fakes.

@connorbush: Same here dude! Haven't heard anything from them yet they took my money the same day I ordered. You emailed them too asking where the hell they were?

I know it's a late post, but I ordered a pair of RayBans from them in April and now being May I emailed them regarding my purchase and received a response telling me that my glasses would arrive in 2-4 weeks from China?

After seeing this thread I am now definitely regretting my purchase through Fruper...

Hey, log in or sign up first!

Whatever it is you're trying to do can ONLY be done by registered, logged-in Deals.Woot members. Why? Because they're better people than you. Don't worry: you can easily improve yourself by logging into your Woot account or signing up for a new one.

Sorry

This is only for people who have bought woots

We restrict voting to users who have purchased something from one of the other Woot stores. It's not just because we want your money (which we do) - it's the best way to be sure all the votes are coming from real people and not spam-bots or phony accounts. The best way we can think of, anyway. For now.

You can always get voting rights by buying something from one of Woot's other sites:

Purchases through Deals.Woot don't count, because in that case you're not buying anything from us. And we don't have your account information for those purchases.

If you think you've bought something from Woot before and still can't vote, make sure you're logged in with the same account you used to buy from us.

Geez, why so negative?

You have to vote up more before you can vote down.

Don't get us wrong. Negativity has its place. And downvotes are just as essential as upvotes when it comes to making Deals.Woot a useful place to find deals.

But when your votes lean so heavily toward the dark side, we have to wonder. Go vote up a few things. Accentuate the positive for a little while. It'll do you some good, and it'll do the site some good, too. Then you can get back to dealing out the smackdowns, OK?

Too late, we all heard you!

Hmm... you're wanting to take your vote back?

Well, that's a bit tricky. See, we do a lot of stuff with your vote, using it to work out the popularity of what you voted for, compare that to all the other things voted on, tally up our leaderboard, work out your reputation. Someday we'll do a little cartoon showing just how hard your vote is working.

Anyway, taking votes back messes all that up, so we give you five minutes, in case you just mis-clicked. After that we've got to say no take-backs. Luckily, votes are free, so feel free to throw them around left and right wherever you see fit.
