sandycombsSo, I bought these solar eclipse glasses on Amazon back at the beginning of July. They were advertised as safe for viewing the upcoming eclipse. Today I get an email from Amazon stating:
"Amazon has not received confirmation from the supplier of your order that they sourced the item from a recommended manufacturer. We recommend that you DO NOT use this product to view the sun or the eclipse. Amazon is applying a balance for the purchase price to Your Account...There is no need for you to return the product."
Thank you Amazon for refunding my money, but now what? Every retailer in our area is sold out of the NASA approved solar eclipse glasses. The remaining solar eclipse glasses on the Amazon website sell for $10+ each, in packs of 10 or more, or are back-ordered and won't ship for 2-3 months. I actually remember seeing solar eclipse glasses in a special display at Walmart a couple weeks ago, but I passed on them since I thought I already had what I needed.
Not a happy camper. 😟
