“Terrible glasses and even worse customer service”

Sarah C.

I purchased 4 pairs of the same frame that I liked. Within 9 months three out of four were broken after light use. All three simply had a hinge snap in half. After numerous emails and pushing back on their refusal to do anything, they finally agreed to send me one pair of frames. Within 10 days that pair has broken in the exact same way the others had. They are now refusing to replace these. Save your money and go to Zenni. Same price and the ones I've bought there have held up wonderfully.

I am finally at that age where my sight needed more correction to have more than just 1 pair of glasses. I was super excited to see the website with such good prices on frames. Once you added in all the other costs to get good lenses, it is still decently priced. Not great, but decent.
So, first 2 months all was well. Then in 3rd month, a screw fell out of the hinge. As it happens, this particular screw is not a size anyone carries. Not any eye glass place I could go to. All are either too big, or too small. Found one that kind of fits, but it is loose and it is going to fall out soon.
I reached out to get a screw to fix it. I am willing to pay for this screw.
And this is where you get into the weeds with them.
They do NOT have any for sale and do NOT support "fixing" their glasses. They only want to sell you frames. They also do not allow you to send it in to get it fixed.
They will offer you 50% off a frame, and oh, yes, you also have to pay for shipping.
Color me utterly unimpressed. A freaking miniature screw will cost me $20 if I choose that route.

Update!
They reached out to me and they themselves agree that it is a bit crazy to not support their products and did offer me a new pair of glasses (same style different color).
I hope they learn that some of us like what we ordered and would like some support to the product we got.
Please make it easier to get support!

Tip for consumers:
Check the hinges and make sure nothing is even loose on it. If anything is, you only have 30 days to get things fixed/replaced/refunded under the policy.

I ordered 3 pairs of glasses 11 days ago and have had no follow-up correspondence. I've sent 2 emails to their online support and have yet to hear from anyone. A bit frustrated at this point. Order number *******151

I ordered sunglasses on March 28 and just received them on April 19th! Almost 4 weeks! Not cool. The glasses look nice, feel well made and my prescription is correct so no complaints there. Just don't order here if you're in a hurry!

EDIT--DOWN TO 3 STARS: I posted on glassesshop's website to review these glasses, and gave them 4 stars with a very brief rundown of the experience below. Checked the site a few days later, and glassesshop switched it to 5 stars and edited out some of the customer service critique. Lying about or modifying customer reviews is no bueno in my book, and there are plenty of other honest sites to order from out there.

------------------------------------------------------------------------

Ordered from the "first pair free" deal on 3/12/16. I ordered from 2 online glasses stores for the first time ever within a couple days of each other. The other place, I ended up placing an order, receiving the order, then placing a second order after liking my glasses, and receiving order #2 in the mail in the same amount of time it took glassesshop to send me 1 order of no-frills, single vision glasses.

I had contacted customer service on 3/22 to check the status, as online it showed my order status had been "sent to sorting facility" (in MI) for the past 5 days. I was told on 3/22 the glasses would arrive in Michigan in 2-3 days, and then would be shipped to me. On 3/28, my online order showed my pair still en route to MI, and no sign of it shipping to me. Today (3/28,16 days after placing the order), I checked my mail and my glassesshop order was in there, and probably had been there for a couple days. It had actually been shipped from MI on 3/21, but nothing in their system had been updated to reflect this, and customer service didn't seem to have any idea. While customer service was friendly, the process was disorganized and they did not seem to know the true status of my order.

The glasses:
The glasses are actually incredible. They are higher quality than the other site I ordered from (and had been pleased with.) The lenses are clear, there is no eye strain whatsoever, the frames are durable, and look better than pictured online. There is a BOGO sale that ends today. Truthfully, if they had arrived here sooner, I would have put my second order in with glassesshop instead of the other company, even though glassesshop is a few bucks more, even with the BOGO. At this point, I don't need any more pairs. In the future, I would order again, as long as I did not mind being "in limbo" with the order status and there was another BOGO sale.

The glasses themselves, I would give 5+ stars. It's the lack of correct order status, customer service not knowing my true order status, and the (relatively) longer shipping time that knocks my overall rating to a 4. The fact that they were free and I only had to pay $9.90 for handling/shipping makes it a sweeter deal, and a great way to hook in new customers like myself. I'd say it's worth giving it a try, especially if you can take advantage of the first pair being free to test it out.

Tip for consumers:
Definitely try the first pair free deal (limited selection.) If you don't find any there that you like, you can also use this coupon code at checkout for 50% off any frames. Basic lenses are free.
