So I got my Berkshires...

...from Frames Direct a couple of weeks ago. They look great in blonde with gold trim although I'll probably get them in chestnut with white gold trim also. I tried them on a few times and put them back in the case. They're a little different than the style I had been wearing(40's style in tortoise plastic) so I wanted to get my wife's opinion. When I pulled them out of the case, the temple fell off and I could not for the life of me find the missing screw.
I don't let anyone replace eyeglass screws unless it's the exact one so I called Berkshire for some replacement screws and went ahead and gave them to my optician to have the lenses made. They have a separate screw to hold the lenses in so the missing screw wouldn't effect the lenses being made. I always use glass lenses because they're much more scratch resistant so it took a little over a week to get the glasses back. I figured the screws would be there by then so it should work out fine.
A week later I've already received the screws and I go to pick up my glasses. The optician puts the screw in and the barrell is stripped so now I'm waiting for a replacement.
Has anyone else had issues with these frames? I thought they'd be fairly bullet proof.
