  • Most frames are welcome. The only exceptions are ones that are too damaged to repair or reuse. Our team will check them over with you in store.

  • Credit depends on your frame's brand and condition. We keep it simple: two condition levels and grouped brands. From time to time, rare or special frames may earn a little more.

  • Same day, in-store. Credit is applied on your next purchase.

  • We give them a new lease of life. Depending on their condition, they may be refurbished and resold, donated to charity, or responsibly recycled.
