False advertising
March 13, 2020

They promise free shipping, charge you for shipping AND add a handling fee. Buyer beware. Don't believe what their lies.

This was not worth the hassle. On the 8th, I placed my order online and my credit card was charged immediately. On the 10th I received an email that said my contacts "were not in inventory" and "The approximate wait time for the lenses to arrive to our facility is around 7 to 10 business days." They also assured me this delay "would normally affect all retailers." On the 21st (a weekend day), I called Opti for an update and I received this by email: "It seems that your package is scheduled to ship out of our facilities in the next 48 business hours." I received my contacts on the 26th. All totaled I waited 18 days for my contacts. Of course Opti did not apologize but instead went on the defensive and said I had them within 10 business days. Well, it was 13 business days from when I ordered on the 8th. Beware, they invite you to review them on Trust Pilot and respond with a defensive response to which you cannot reply, nor can you change or delete your review. I should have cancelled the order, but they had already charged my card and it takes days for a credit to be applied. It was a matter of choosing one hassle over another. The bottom line: make sure you have a couple of pairs left before you order from OptiContacts. They don't tell you they are not in stock until AFTER your card is charged.

5 stars for being a cost effective alternative to buying from the optical store at one-half the price.

AVOID THIS COMPANY!
January 20, 2020

I placed an order for contacts on January 4th and on January 8th called customer service to make a correction to my prescription and the guy was very helpful and nice. On January 13th, I received an email notifying me that a shipping label was created and on the 14th the package had been received for shipping. Now I understand the USPS is slow but the company waited till the last second on their supposed 3 day processing terms to get my order shipped. Today is now January 20th 2020 and my contacts are finally supposed to be delivered tomorrow the 21st. I called the customer service and they were without a care in the world that I was not happy with my experience with their company and they were not willing to do anything for me for my inconvenience. When I spoke to the supervisor and asked for her supervisor I was told there is no other supervisor to speak to above her. I told her that I was going to cancel my order and she didn't care and just told me that I would be refunded upon the return of the shipment and that I would be responsible for shipping. This was a horrible experience! So if you want your contacts in a timely manner with better customer service use a different company!

They handled my complaint quickly and fairly!
January 5, 2022

UPDATE: OptiContacts issued a $120 refund. They explained that if you "mouse over" the rebate offer on their site, it explains that the rebate is actually a credit. I am satisfied and impressed with the professionalism of Sylvia, the CSR supervisor who called me.

ORIGINAL REVIEW: Do not use this company! THEY RUN A REBATE SCAM. On Oct. 19,2021, I purchased $325.51 in Acuvue Oaysys contacts based on the OptiContacts.com $120 rebate offer clearly posted on their website. I emailed opticontacts a week later to ask when I would receive the rebate, and was told 90 days from purchase. Yesterday (1/4/2022), I called opticontacts.com and was told I would receive an email by 1/14/2022 about a CREDIT with opticontacts.com, not a REBATE! News flash. A REBATE IS NOT THE SAME THING AS A CREDIT. A rebate is a partial refund (think visa debit card or cashier's check) for the purchase of an item, typically from the manufacturer (think Acuvue). It's an incentive to buy. Why would i want a credit with a business that runs rebate scams?!?! I explained the difference to the CSR I spoke to, who said that offer had been "pulled from their site" and promised to speak to billing and then call me back before 5 p.m. Spoiler alert. No phone call. I will NEVER use this vendor again. I hope my review discourages hundreds of customers. My next stop is the BBB.

This company literally printed off a biofinity toric label, slapped it on an off brand contact box and shipped them to my door.

Thank you for contacting us. The lens boxes are most certainly not "fake". The lenses we sell are sourced from the same suppliers that eye doctors use and there is no counterfeit contact lens market known in the entire world - nobody does it, the market doesn't exist. Packages from different lots may vary, as they could be produced or finished in different manufacturing facilities. As well, Biofinity Toric is sold under different private labels, for example AquaClear Toric. For this reason, different labels are applied to the exact same lens, and this could be the reason that it is possible for peeling.

We can tell you with utmost confidence, that we are 100% sure the lenses you received are 100% authentic, and safe to wear. We've been in business for nearly 15 years, all our products trace back to the actual manufacturers and we can't promise you enough that you are in good hands with us. We can see the origin of the product in our system and we can guarantee its authentic.

If you have further questions or concerns, please let us know. We hope your sister enjoys her fresh new lenses.

I got an incredible price for the Acuvue Daily 30pk Astigmatism on OptiContacts, only to find out the ''insurance and processing'' add an additional 100$ which defeats their so called ''discounts''.

Both the subtotal and total are $40 higher than they should be. Absolutely disgusting behavior. Thankfully, I caught it before checking out.
