Prescription Lenses: Yes
Price: $20-$30 with shipping
Overall: Consistent service with shipping and processing time; always includes a cute animal lens case. Lenses are packed in bubble wrap and shipped in a small padded envelope. No customs duty tax consistently, have purchased from them on 5 separate occasions. $5 shipping is available and only takes about 2 weeks on average to California. You can also contact them with any problems by emailing business@pinkyparadise.com - they're generally quite nice and speedy on replying. I emailed them because I thought they sent me a wrong lens by accident (thought I received a black lens rather than grey, and emailed them photos and they confirmed it was grey). So I like that aspect about their business. I've never had a problem with receiving defective lens or anything.

Prescription Lenses: Yes
Prescription Lenses: Yes
Price: $30 for Dollyeyes with shipping
Overall: Consistently speedy service; never have to wait more than 2-3 days for each lenses to arrive. However, they are now defunct and no longer sell lenses (sadly). Since they were located in the U.S., and it is illegal to sell circle lenses without an optometrist's prescription required from their customers, most likely the government seized their company.

Prescription Lenses: Yes
Price: $25 for Geo Nudy with shipping
Overall: Not a 'great' experience. They advertise that they pack and ship within 48 hours but my order was stuck on processing for a week (5 business days). When they finally arrived after 2 weeks, it was too late for the purpose I needed them (I figured they would ship within 2 weeks, but I didn't know they'd take a week to process my order). Other reviewers have had problems with honeycolor's customer service (no response).
However, after ordering from them a second time a year later than the first time, my experience was much better. You can read about it here.
Seller Rating: 5/10, I received my lenses so that's a plus. However, their customer service is known to be patchy.

De Mois, Pour Vous

Customs Duty Tax: N/A
Tracking No: N/A
Shipping and Processing time: N/A
Prescription Lenses: Yes
Prescription Lenses: Yes
Price: $22 package for i.Fairy with shipping
Overall: First preorder from De Mois, Pour Vous on livejournal never went through (presumably she fell ill again and did not process any orders. Check this entry for more details and my commenting under my account, sketchingacynic). I basically contacted her and paid her via paypal, but after almost 90 days, I never received any updates, either on her site or via email, and thus filed a paypal dispute and received my money back. NOTE: This was in July 2010! Soompiers have often reviewed her and WAS known as a reliable seller, but as of current news she is no longer reliable as a seller.
Seller Rating: N/A, never received goods. Seller is known to be prone to falling ill without notice.

Prescription Lenses: Yes (up to -8.00 most lenses)
Price: $30 i.Fairy with shipping
Overall: I hesitated for a VERY long time on purchasing from this site, not because I didn't think they were trustworthy or heard anything bad about them, but because well.. It's facebook! However, I turned to Geo Lens House once my first preorder from De Mois, Pour Vous on livejournal never went through (presumably she fell ill again and did not process any orders. Check this entry for more details and my commenting under my account, sketchingacynic).
Seller Rating: 10/10
Regardless, I finally wrote on Geo Lens House's wall after I contacted a user on the Cosplay.com forums (Crystalike, if you're wondering) who made two happy lens purchases from Geo Lens House and posted pictures on the Contact Lens thread about the Ruby Red. She assured me that they were legit. So, I contacted them on an order of the i.Fairy Ruby Red in -7.00 prescription (listed in Malaysian currency). The purchase came to $30 USD with shipping and paypal fees, and Steve (the guy who runs the store) sent me an invoice via paypal. I paid him and the next day he sent me a tracking number, and I received the lenses within the next week and a half. So, overall it was a smooth transaction and I would definitely recommend this seller.
