I actually have ordered and received a pair from Zenni already. The shipping was about the same (3 weeks from order to receive) - although THEY actually sent an email confirmation when the glasses were shipped along with tracking information. It's not Zenni's fault USPS doesn't ever update their tracking information.
The Zenni glasses arrived packaged nicely and the prescription is exact. The only problem I had was the bridge was supposed to be 18mm, but when I tried them on....well, let's say the bridge was so tight the glasses rode almost above my eyes. Luckily the pair I ordered was rimless and the nose pieces were easily adjusted to the proper width. The glasses fit great now and I love wearing them. I actually have already ordered a second pair from Zenni. They have been shipped and should be here early next week. I think I read that the shipping problems before were due to a hold up in customs earlier this year. True or not, I have not had a problem with Zenni shipping. I will address the quality of their service and products in another review. Thanks for the feedback, Firewalker.
