About Carbonshade Glasses
Carbonshade is a company on a mission to help the world sleep better.  Their new glasses when worn at night help block out negative circadian rhythm disrupting light.  In the same way that computer and phone apps like flux help regulate your light intake Carbonshade glasses take it one step further.

Product:

Their glasses are the first on the market to combine style with functionality ensuring that this is something people will actually use.  Their glasses use red laser grade optics lenses to block 99.8% of harmful blue and green light.
 
They are meant to be worn at night and the company claims that not only will you have an easier time going to sleep, but your sleep will also be more restful.  
 
Unlike other blue-blocking eyewear on the market Carbonshade has chosen red lenses specifically because they are more effective at blocking out melatonin suppressing light.  The company has recognized that the need for this type of product will only continue to grow.
 
While the phone and computer apps are helpful artifical light comes from many different sources and only growing with the proliferation of new energy efficient blue-rich LED lights.

Cost:

Currently Carbonshade glasses come in 4 styles: Classic, Aviator, Retro, and Clubmaster.  All pairs sell for $129.
 
Each pair is built with an aluminum alloy frame and red polycarbonate lenses.

Customer Service:

If you have any additional questions or issues with the products you can reach someone at contact@carbonshade.com.

Online Reviews/Complaints:

Since their Kickstarter campaign this California based startup has garnered a lot of positive press.  Many tech blogs have outlined the positive potential of using Carbonshade for better sleep.

Competitors and Alternatives:

There are many blue-blocking glasses on the market, it is up to you to perform your research to see which ones offer the best protection from harmful blue light and fit your style preferences.  Some other sleep aid resources include:  Doc Parsley’s Sleep Cocktail and the Primal Sleep System.

Do not trust this Company!

Same here. I ordered a pair of Carbonshade Classics at March 12, 2018 to be shipped to Germany. USPS website shows that it has been delivered on March 24, 2018 but i was not even at home. It turns out that most of the time when international shipments are delivered to customs, USPS just shows the item as delivered and after that point the only information you could get is from a letter from the customs office (which I did not get). So I tried to contact DHL (solution partner of USPS in Germany) and they confirmed that the item was delivered to customs but could not give the necessary customs tracking number (this is spesific to Germany, called the "Postübergabebogen-Nummer", in short PüB as they say it). Instead they gave me another number which produces no results in their tracking system. I went to the customs office but they said there are thousands of items and they could not find my order without the PüB code. All this time, I was waiting an answer from Carbonshade, as I had asked to whom my order might be delivered, in case it was delivered to a neighbour. I asked all of my neighbours in the meantime, none of them had any information. So out of frustration, I left a negative comment to Carbonshade's Facebook page and only then Jeremy (the founder) answered. He said he'd look into it (on April 14) and not to worry. I gave him every information I had so far. After a week of silence and my reminders, he sent a message that he'd look into it and get back to me within 24 hours. It's been a month now and despite my reminders, nothing. Complete SILENCE. It is just so frustrating and I feel like I am robbed of my hard earned money with some smart-ass college kid who does not respect customers. I tried to contact him via Facebook, Twitter, Carbonshade support mail etc. Just silence. It is nice to know that I am not alone at least. I am now dedicated to flood every webpage in the internet which includes the word "carbonshade" with this review and warn people not to trust this company.

Carbonshade is a SCAM

Hi Everyone,

I ordered my pair of blue blockers from Carbonshade on November 7th 2016 and I still have not received anything (as of January 10th 2017).

The order page still shows it's still in San Francisco (as of November 8th) so I guess they have not even bothered to ship the glasses yet.

I wrote Jeremy several emails but he just stopped responding? Are you kidding me?

It seems they're just after your money riding the blue blocker wave. They obviously don't care about their customers.

I ordered Carbonshade glasses a month ago. I have since followed up with 3 emails asking when they will be shipped. As of March 20, 2017 I still have no idea what the status is. I am now going to file a complaint with my credit card bank to get my money back.
