Returned my glasses to be fixed after their first botched job. Came back the same way again. Sham of a service and shouldn't be in business. Will never trust them with my glasses again.
Super easy to order, super quick completion, and the lenses are parfait; only time-consuming portion of this whole process was typing out this review.
The outset was a little challenging, but once I figured out how to do my papillary distance the process was straightforward. The turn around time upon delivery of my frames to Lensabl was 4 weeks. The new lenses are GREAT! Overall I am VERY SATISFIED!
The initial purchase and process of sending my frames in was simple enough. However, this was about the only simple part of the process. After being delivered to the lab, my frames took over a month to complete. Throughout this entire process, I never received any notifications from the company to let me know they would be delayed. Only after I emailed customer support did I receive a response promising that they would be done in a few days. Weeks later, I still had not received my frames and had not received any further updates from customer support. Once again, I had to email customer support to chase after my glasses and I was told again that my frames would be completed in a few days. The customer support agent was neither apologetic about the month-long delay or empathetic to the fact that I had been waiting so long for my glasses so that I would be able to see, and did not offer any solution other than for me to continue waiting. I finally received my frames over a month later. The construction and lenses seem fine, but the long wait and poor customer service experience left me with a bad taste.
The good:
Easy to order
Nice web site
Prepaid shipping both to and from me
You make nearly perfect lenses (at least both of mine are)
You generously reimbursed me for a broken frame
The bad:
You broke my frame
You refused to answer very simple email questions for several weeks
Most of my email questions took nearly a week before I received a response
You made bifocals instead of trifocals as specified on the order (this took nearly one month to resolve)
Total time from when I sent my old frame in for new lenses until I received the replacement new frame with the correct lenses: more than 4 months! Completely unacceptable. Good thing I had other eyeglasses to wear.
Not as expedient as stated. Wait is too long getting responses, very generic responses. Didn't get exactly what I ordered. Will not use again or recommend.
Nobody locally would make new lenses for my frames due to their brand. Lensabl had no problem with the frames and converted my old frames into new glasses. Thank You!
I decided to buy prescription goggles for my job as an RN. I I am very impressed with the quality of the lenses! The whole process was quick and easy.
Sent my 10 year old Cartier Aviator Sunglasses in for a lens replacement. They matched my original lenses perfectly and sent them back in a few weeks. Very satisfied customer.
All the details were handled in a timely manner. I was informed as each stage was initiated and completed. Satisfied with the lens and will likely be a repeat customer
The replacement lenses seem to be exceptionally good quality. I compared them to my last gasses I got from from another company and these were superior.
Had new lenses created for an existing frame. Instructions on the website were clear, communications during the process good. The delivered lenses, installed in the old frames provided, are great.
My first try at sun glasses was unsuccessful: could not wear them because the prescription was botched. The redo was somewhat better, but still with issues. Try a different vendor.
I used lensabl for 3 sunglasses and every time the results were excellent and i'm very happy. Definitely recommend to turn your old sunglasses to new.
Thanks Tariq! Let us know when you're ready for the next pair. :)
Experience was excellent. Hate the lenses. The yellow lenses are by no means sunglasses. Description is awful. Very very disappointed in my purchase. Would not recommend
Customer service is fantastic. They took care of all my questions and requests to my 100% satisfaction. I highly recommend them and will use them again.
I've ordered three lens replacement from Lensabl.com in last several years, and I have always been satisfied with the quality of the lenses, and the turnaround time for the service.
After eagerly waiting for my glasses to be delivered, imagine my surprise when 8 opened the box to find someone else's glasses. To say I am dissatisfied is an understatement.
I did not receive what I paid for. I am massively disappointed in the communication, timing and the final product. I have communicated y direct request to fix this issue.
Answer: I was not so lucky and have had a horrible experience withLensabl. After two months I'm still waiting for progressive lenses that cost over $600 and Neither my frames nor the lenses I ordered are back to me. Next time I will use a local eyewear store.
Answer: They falsely boosted about putting new lenses in existing frames (in a very short turn around like a week) not the 8 months it's been
Answer: Once your frames arrive at our lab, assuming you've provided all required Rx information, lens production is 4-7 business days on average before shipping
Answer: I purchased some really awesome vintage glasses with octagonal black plastic frames made in France, probably from the late 1960s or early 1970s. I was so excited to have them made into sunglasses. I took them to my local optical shop and was told, "I hope you didn't spend much on these because you wasted your money. No one will touch frames this old, because the plastic is so brittle it will just shatter." I was so disappointed. I tossed them in a drawer and forgot about them for a few months. Then I saw an ad for Lensabl online. I contacted them and asked if they could work with vintage frames, and the answer was "No problem!" I was nervous to send the frames in but figured I didn't have anything to lose. I just received the glasses back in the mail today (two weeks from when I mailed them in), and they are incredible! The frames were cleaned and straightened, and the new lenses are perfect. I love them so much. Thanks, Lensabl!
Answer: They clearly don't have the infrastructure set up to be in this business where each frame is a customer order. In cases like they they are not staffed with customer services that can be actually helpful which only result in wrongly made glasses. They broke my glasses and are not trying to it at all. I posted review on here before and then it just disappeared for some reason, I'm not sure if they are paying people to get rid of negative reviews.
Answer: Transitions take an upwards of 30 seconds to Transition. The weather conditions can impact the Transition time. Brighter and warmer outside conditions= transitions faster.
Answer: I am having the same experience. Took my money, lost my frames and have done nothing on refund nor damages. I filed with BBB as well. Why are they still in business is a surprise to me?How many more consumers do they need to harm before they are fined and/or shut down?
Answer: All prices are in USD ($) but we do ship to Canada as well :)
Answer: Yes all of our lenses are guaranteed or we will re-make them if any issues once you receive them back. Thanks!
