I've also bought from

https://www.eyebuydirect.com

https://www.coastal.com/eyewear

http://www.39dollarglasses.com

Zenni has the cheapest frames and upgrades. I honestly haven't had a bad experience with any of them. I've had a couple of frames that were meh, but the prescriptions have always been good.

A helpful hint; to figure out which frames might be flattering for you, take a pair of frames you like and measure them. Get the width and height of the lenses, the overall width etc. Then choose frames that are a similar size. A few mm bigger or smaller won't be a big deal.

EyeBuyDirect and Coastal often have discount codes. You can also get discounts through sites like Ebates.com and MrRebates.com.
