This was the first time I'd purchased glasses over the internet, so I checked the SelectSpecs website and all the online reviews. This satisfied me enough to give them a try; I was not disappointed! The online form was simple to complete, and you can also upload a scan/photo of your prescription for their optometrists to double-check. The one bit of additional info they need is the distance between your pupils (for sizing the frames); this can be done easily with a ruler and a mirror (some apps can also do it for you via your phone). The glasses ordered arrived in a sturdy plastic box and black polythene packaging in about 1 week. I bought the cheapest frames, and with the lenses coming with 2 free coatings, the all-in the cost with postage was around £25; absolutely amazing price compared with high-street opticians! The glasses are great, perfect fit and amazingly clear lenses. Would use the site again

To date I have purchased 4 pairs of prescription glasses and I am pleased with the wide range and prices. They do feel a bit plastic, but they are nice and light and I will definitely be purchasing more pairs from Selectspecs.

I have now had three pairs of glasses from this company. They are all of a great standard and style, each pair completely different as it's nice to have a change and the prescription each time has been perfect. I have recommended select specs to my friends and several have bought new glasses from them.

Well I was a bit skeptical initially but boy was I surprised. I messed up the order and they set it right and made the most beautiful glasses. I could not ask for a better service or company. And then the price is a absolute steal compare to all the expensive glasses I have had before. I cannot thank Selectspecs enough - your service, products and customer service is amazing, thank you so much I really am eternally greatfull you're a pleasure to deal with.

I took my prescription to select specs to purchase some new glasses and was immediately impressed by the range of styles in both budget and designer ranges. The service was friendly and efficient and within 20 minutes I had ordered 3 pairs, two spectacles and one sunglasses for under £150. I wanted a pair of aviator sunglasses and tried on a designer pair and an own brand pair and preferred the latter. One of the pairs of spectacles was a designer brand. I was told they may take up to four weeks to arrive but had two pairs within the week and the third arrived a couple of days later.

Great quality, great service and great value for money.

Thank-you Selectspecs!

I love my new glasses. Frames were a great price and my varifocal lenses were a fraction of the high street price. I will definitely be using these again. Sunglasses next I think for when our summer arrives.

Use this company!
June 23, 2021

I would recommend that you use this company for your next pair of specs, you won't regret it. Their frames are good quality and the fact that you send your prescription means that the product is perfect. Delivery is quick and in a practical case. Couldn't ask for any more, in fact I'm ordering another pair straight away, that's how confident I am.

New specs
June 27, 2022

Great service and prompt delivery, could have done with the bridge being a bit wider,(about 5cm more would have been great) but I knew that they were only 18mm bridge, still good vision will try for different model with wider option next time, absolute bargain, more coming soon, thanks again, Peter.

I have had a few specs from selectspecs and without exception I have been very pleased with all of them. It pays to take time over the measurements which are clearly given and I have found that all the specs have fitted well and have been robust. I have used other firms a couple of times but from now on I would only buy glasses from selectspecs.

Have purchased a number of glasses from selectspecs over the years. I like the idea from a practical as well as fashionable point of view that the wide choice of frames and the amazingly fair frame +lens prices allow. The workmanship on the ordered glasses is first rate, the delivery has always been prompt and in this day of poor online customer service this company offers, against all odds, a spectacularly good service raport with its customers. I'm not getting any younger but my contiuned choices of selectspecs glasses continue to mirror a young hearted customer.

My question was dealt with efficiently. I will always buy my glasses from Selectspecs. Thanks guys! Keep up the good work!

Select Specs Suck!
January 24, 2017

Ordered 1st Jan 2017, still not received!
I wasn't informed that they wouldn't be dispatched timely till the day they should of been dispatched! Serious lack of communication in the company, emails received v Facebook messages received gave me completely different info!
They maybe cheap, it's because there service is c**p!
Can't comment on the glasses as I've not received them - 4 weeks after ordering them!

I have bought my last 4 pairs of glasses from SelectSpecs. The service I have received is second to none. I have used both the online and shop service which are both excellent! SelectSpecs offer great prices on all glasses which helps your pocket as well!

Excellent selection of frames, great service and delivery time, easy ordering, great prices!
My frames and lenses were manufactured and delivered quite quickly. The one service query I made was answered very promptly.

Excellent service
December 16, 2020

I had a brilliant experience with Specsavers again. There was a problem with my prescription and one of their Opticians called me to tell me and I obtained the correct information, my glasses were made and delivered very quickly. Without their attention to detail my glasses would have been wrong. I can't praise them enough. I will always use this Company for my glasses and would recommend them very highly.

I had a great experience with my order. I ordered a pair of Oakley currency frames, satin black finish. The ordering process was easy and I received my order in a reasonable amount of time. The same amount of time that it would have taken a local optometrist to deliver the glasses for me. The real difference is that I paid half of what it would I would have paid locally. The products are genuine as well. No knockoffs. I have a strong prescription and I ordered thin lenses and was very pleased with them. Keep in mind that you're dealing with a company in England, so customer service can be a little spotty because when you call them in the United States it's night time over there. But, I received good responses via email. Also, make note that your bank might charge you a foreign transaction fee since it's a company in England. My fee wasn't very much, I think it was like $5. Anyway, overall great experience, will definitely order from them again.
