They take forever. I ordered glasses with no prescription 10 days ago and they have not even shipped yet. Can you say CHINA
I bought a pair of ray bans that apparently were put together by a 12 year old. The arms of the glasses were not asymmetrical whatsoever. One side of the glasses looked like they left home early and didn't know which way was which. Ridiculous to spend this amount of money and patiently wait just to get a pair of crooked glasses that are supposed to be high quality and name brand. 0/10 I am pissed off.

I ordered glasses on their website for the second time in four months. At this time I lived in another state and wrote a different delivery address and a different billing address, these are different addresses, but they decided that these addresses should match and my glasses went to another state. Their support team does nothing, their inattention has no boundaries. They even confused the order number I indicated in the letter! In the third order, they also confused with the addresses - they wrote off money from the card, which is tied to the wrong address and person I specified in the order. Their assurances that their support service is always working is a hoax. There is only an answering machine and a chatbot that can't solve anything

When I opened my order today the frame was broken. The frame appeared to have been glued but the glue did not hold. Trying to reach this site by phone and chat failed is fruitless. Now, I am totally without my glasses and short $167.

I bought several pairs of eyeglasses from GlassesUSA and was happy with them. The last pair, however, was defective; the lenses shrank or changed shape and would no longer stay in the frame. They were two months old, and I used them for a spare. This isn't why I am giving a one-star review, however. The one-star review is for GlassesUSA refusing to replace the glasses. Instead, they offered a replacement at 50% off. That doesn't seem quite right, considering the glasses were 100% defective. In my opinion, a company that decides it is okay selling defective glasses to unsuspecting customers for 50% off is a dishonest and unethical company. At the very least, this 50% replacement policy was designed by a very dishonest person. GlassesUSA missed the mark for me, and until they can rectify the situation, I will shop elsewhere for eyeglasses. Caveat emptor...
Order glasses waited they finally arrived and guess what? They were very wrong script. Took to my eye doctor and measured them on their machine and found they were only reading and not the distance also. So contact the robot and can not even talk to live person. So do not even try to contact the phone number just more robot. I did get a return label and sent back. Now receiving many emails per day stating this number for either robot or who ever is working on decision each from different number. Frustrated and just send refund and I will never order again.

Bought glasses originally here and went to buy another pair. Verified my account which took over 30 minutes via a chat person. Then even harder to find my order and get a cart built. Then when I went to check out, it lost everything. Had to go through the horrible experience of verifying my account AGAIN. This is the worst experience I have ever had. I have worked on sites for 27 years and never ever have I seen such a horrible User Experience and Customer Experience. There are far better places. Prices are way too much, there are 15 other sites with better UI/UX and better Customer Experience.
Hi Robert,

I placed a order for 2 boxes of 24 contact lenses ( Over $200) on January 18,2022. I did NOT receive both boxes although I was billed for them. I have been given the run around for the last couple of weeks. I consider it FRAUD to bill customers and never provide the merchandise. It's just been A LOT of stalling after having my money.There is NO actual telephone as advertised on website. VERY POOR CUSTOMER SERVICE. I will also be contacting the Better Business Bureau as well. Their BBB Score is very miss leading!

Short version: Ordered a pair of Rx glasses from this company more than a month ago and they have made zero progress.
Long version: Because of a bug in their app they received my order but none of the details regarding the color, size, and thickness of the frames/lenses. I KNOW this is a bug in their software because you can't even submit an order without those details.
Rather than reaching out to me they chose to do NOTHING for 20 days. They waited for me to contact their customer support before informing me that they hadn't even started on my glasses. That was 10 days ago and I still haven't received my glasses. About 5 minutes ago I spoke with their chat support again and they tell me that nothing about my order has changed but someone will reach out to me in "1 to 2 business days" regarding the status of my order.
As consolation their chat support offered me "free expedited shipping" which is insulting because "expedited" is the word that GlassesUSA uses to describe standard shipping with 4 - 6 business days.
As if all of that wasn't enough, GlassesUSA will send you spam email 4 times a day. No, I'm not exaggerating, they literally email you "special offers" 4 times a day even after you've requested to be removed from their promotional mailing list multiple times.
This company is a complete joke.

WARNING! DO NOT use this company! They have NO customer service except "go to the website", but the website tells you to call for things like order changes. If you have question that needs a live human being, you are out of luck; it's all automated so that these cheapskates don't have to pay 2 cents a day to some call center slave in the Philippines or India. Cheapstakes. AVOID THIS ANNOYING AND HORRIBLE COMPANY!

I recently ordered glasses from GlassesUSA and was initially impressed with the process and the product. However, when I needed to return one of the frames, I encountered significant difficulties. I'm unable to print the return label and my attempts to reach someone on the phone were unsuccessful. To make matters worse, my email inquiries also went unanswered. Despite the good quality of the glasses, the difficulty with returning the frame has made me hesitate to order from GlassesUSA again in the future.

They over charged me for my glasses. I used my FSA money to buy the glasses. When I tried to get my refund back (a mistake they made), I just got a form letter in response. I called their customer service phone number. Clearly they dont want to talk to customers ("they value SOOO much") when I finally go through the rep hung up on me. They delayed responding or taking action so I lost my FSA money because they have now waited/stalled in refunding the money into the new year. Still havent seen it applied to my FSA credit card yet but I'm guessing I wont see it anyway because the money was only good per FSA rules for the year of 2022. Been over a month. Disappointing to say the least. Hopefully future customers can learn from my nightmare with this company.

I order my glasses on 12/31/2022. Production says it will take 3-6 days. By January 20th they were still in production. I requested a cancelation and refund and the refund request and they are still processing the request. I have contacted support almost 7 times and they have not been ANY help. This was a waste of money. I needed these fast as my current glasses broke. I will never be ordering from them again.
For more context, I requested a cancellation and refund from another company AFTER this one and have already received the refund.

What's your problem? Do you want me to go to court?

Answer: So far it's been a month and still NO glasses, or tracking info. Much longer than the seven to ten buisness days- in Still waiting.
Answer: I got the same B. S. handed to me. After more than double the stated time and lack of response, I cancelled my order and notified my credit card company.
Answer: Because they're dishonest. They stole $193 from me in store credit
Answer: Dealing with them right now and thats a NO. Horrible customer service and they will loop hole you to no end so that they dont have to give you a refund on their product that does not work. My eyes literally work better without their glasses on my face.
Answer: Our production times vary between each prescription and lens type we produce. By far our glasses are produced and delivered before the times stated in our shipping policy. In some cases, unfortunately, glasses might not pass quality assurance, which means they need to be remade. This unfortunately means that we have to start again from scratch, but as a rule we do not send out any glasses that did not meet our quality standards. Shipping times are unfortunately mostly beyond our control as we depend upon our carriers to deliver the products in a timely manner. Our delivery department works toe to toe with all of our carriers to make sure our glasses are delivered as promptly as possible. We also offer a variety of shipping options that ensure a faster delivery for any interested customers, but our customers need to keep in mind shipping times do not include production time. Our customer service is available by phone, email, chat and social media around the clock, 24\7. We can be easily reached at any time, including weekends and holidays at all times to answer any questions and concerns. Our dedicated customer service team works around the clock to make sure any and all issues are taken care of. We are always working on improving all of the above, whether by opening new facilities, working and negotiating our agreements with carriers or expanding our customer service team and making them more efficient. The results are there and the vast majority of our customers are very satisfied with our services. We heartily suggest trying our services and seeing for yourselves.
Answer: There should be, they are horrible! They have 0 customer service- you can not speak to a live person! It's totally automated and inefficient if you need help in anyway!
Answer: Four weeks and still in quality testing which they estimate to take 3-5 business days.
Answer: Good luck with that John! This is the most horrible company I've ever dealt with. Lesson learned to do my research before ordering. I ordered because a you tuber I watch recommended them. Check out all the complaints on this site plus over 300 on BBB site. https://www.bbb.org/new-york-city/business-reviews/retail-optical-goods/glasses-usa-in-new-york-ny-107236/reviews-and-complaints
Answer: I ordered a pair on 3rd Nov and was still waiting on 20 Nov. I canceled them On the 21st. A rep called and convinced me to give them a second chance...big mistake. I gave them a second shot and resubmitted the order on the 21st. The rep assured me that the glasses would be shipped in 6 days. Taking into account Thanksgiving the glasses should have be shipped on the 30th but they were still in production and, again no real customer service. I canceled and drove to America's Best. In 15 minutes I ordered glasses and they were $30.00 less than glassesusa. I don't recommend that company.
Answer: If they have their way, NEVER! Ive been chasing them for weeks now and all they do is ignore me.
