Eyebuydirect Reviews Summary

The company has garnered a solid reputation for providing affordable, quality eyewear, with many customers praising the extensive selection and effective virtual try-on feature. Satisfaction with product quality is prevalent, particularly for prescription glasses, which are often noted as a cost-effective alternative to traditional retailers. However, concerns regarding slow shipping times and excessive communication, particularly following orders, have been highlighted as significant drawbacks. While most customers express overall satisfaction, the inconsistency in delivery and customer service experiences indicates room for improvement in operational efficiency and support responsiveness.

I was unsure if the glasses would fit and it took me a long time to work through that he details.

Late
January 2, 2021

I paid for expedited shipping and when I bought the frames said that I was going to get them the next day. 2 days later nothing, I called and was informed that they made a mistake with my address and that's why it was delayed. Paid for expedited shipping for no reason.

I do not use it since very long
But today i went to a friend and she said
What did you do?
You look different i nearly had not recognized you

My answer
I only showered and washed my hair...
Forgot to tell her about my new cream:)
But she herself is very young

And i go on... with creaming
My face - need a second layer because my skin is so dry
My arms - feels great there
My legs - also feels great

I love that cream

Very disappointed
January 22, 2021

First, I'll say that the glasses look great. Love the design and style. Unfortunately, that's where the good stuff ends. These glasses are supposed to have the anti-reflective coating on them and they are supposed to be Transitions brand photochromic lenses. I have to say that these are the absolute worst glasses I've ever owned in terms of reflections on the lenses. It's annoying and distracting to constantly have glare and reflections on my lenses and in my line of sight. This is my second pair of glasses with photochromic lenses. The first pair was about 8 years ago and the technology has evolved to make them transition faster. However, these lenses change so slowly that it makes me question whether they are legitimate Transitions branded lenses and not a cheap knock-off. Needless to say, I'm very disappointed in these glasses and will not be a returning customer.

Sure, EyeBuyDirect may have many positive reviews. Odds are, you'll receive your glasses with no problems. But with so many reputable, cheap, and fast competitors, is a chance of five hours of constantly disconnected phone calls, nonexistent follow-ups, and delays really worth your time? You risk that by choosing to do business with EyeBuyDirect.

I ordered a pair of glasses, they didn't fit, so I ordered an exchange, guaranteed by the 22nd of December, which is when I am to leave the state permanently. No problems with two day shipping, except that I never received an order confirmation.

No confirmation means delays. I called customer support, they said they would get a confirmation right away, along with another promise of delivery by the 22nd. No such email arrived. Called again, was told the same thing and given the same promise. No email again. Once more, was told it was shipped. I would get the shipping confirmation right away.

Tomorrow, still no confirmation in my inbox. I call again, they tell me it's shipped and will arrive on the 22nd. Great! No confirmation email.

An email finally comes the next morning. The package is delayed, and will arrive after I leave the state on the 23rd. I call again to work something out.

I ask for a change of delivery, with the company covering the fees of the change. Not only will they not cover the fees, they aren't able to make a phonecall to UPS to change an order that hasn't left the post office yet. This information was spread over four phone calls as they were constantly disconnected.

Finally, after being on hold on different days with all of these inquiries for a total of five hours, I ask for a refund. More holds, they refuse to give me a written guarantee of the refund, and they still refuse to refund the shipping fee. No written refund guarantee and they won't give me anything until after the glasses are delivered.

Is a chance of this frustration worth your valuable time and hard earned money? Consider buying your glasses from any of the other online shops, all of which offer huge selection, quality product, and low prices.

EDIT: (from 4 stars to 3) Was 4 because of how bad the website has become.
Purchased 5 pairs over 3 years. Quality is good, not excellent. Lenses are always perfect. Offer some reasonably-priced lens coatings. Originally, customer service and website were great, but lately both have greatly degraded. Was overcharged and customer service basically called me a liar and i had to go through my credit card to get charges eliminated. NOT something a 4 star company makes a long time customer go through. If you don't pay for 2 day shipping, shipping and processing times are probably worst in the industry.
