I got my glasses from a Chinese company that owns the entire chain of production. Excellent quality, and even lower priced than "cheap" American stores like Walmart that just resell.
I see that clearly when i buy products from Aliexpress or Temu and shops in Poland are full of literally the same items but 3-5 times the price. Hell some of the internet shops openly does the thing that you buys something and only then they order it in China for you but you still pay 3-5 times the price.
Glass shops are the same way.
They order their inventory on DHgate then mark it up at least 100%.
