Rip off on returns
January 30, 2025

My Tom Ford frame didn't fit as expected, and I had to pay over $30 for returning them. This is my first and last time of dealing with them

SCAM

They are quick to take you money. After three weeks and numerous emails I was told they cannot install polarized lenses into a full frame rim. 3 days later still no pending refund on my credit card. If the the price is to good to be true you know why.

Scammers
November 5, 2022

Bought a pair of in-stock sunglasses only to be emails the next day that the item happens to be unavailable and must take weeks to be ordered from the manufacturer. This is total bait and switch. Now that they have my money I'm SOL. Do not buy from these scammers!

Do not order frames from SmartBuyGlasses. I tried to make a return and the customer service is AWFUL. I didn't get returned for my entire return and they have made me repeat myself to multiple reps, all of which asked me the same questions before passing me to someone else. There was clearly a processing issue with my return, but instead of taking responsibility for it, they asked me for photos (!) of the box I returned. I am out more than $700 and have little hope of ever getting my money back.

Oakley OX3248 SELLER
January 21, 2022

Bought my Oakley glasses on line from Smartbuy glasses last week. The online customer service contacted me immediately after receipt of order to inform me of the process. I did originally order 2 pairs but the Hugo Boss were unfortunately out of stock. The oakleys arrived early and are 5 star. They were 1/2 the price buying on line versus buying the same pair in Calgary. My only gripe is that the Smartbuy website still has the Hugo Boss glasses advertised even though they don't carry them anymore.

Fraud
February 1, 2022

Terrible experience. I ordered my contact lenses online correctly. I would receive and email that my order did not match the prescription. I was advised to re order. I took a picture of my order. I once again received an email that " my order did not match the prescription. They emailed me a " copy" of my order( I did not match my order at all- screenshot to prove it. My CC was charged again and again…. Do NOT order from this website…..

It cost me 22$ to return the fake designer sunglasses that arrived from Hong Kong. Very disappointed that a.ca webpage sales Chinese copies of designer sunglasses to Canadians pretending they are authentic…

Bad experience
April 14, 2024

I went to my sons eye doctor follow up and he told me that smartbuyglasses should let people know that the pupil need to be in a specific point in the glass and that this can only be correctly mesure with the right instrument.

So thanks to this I need to pay for lents I already paid for!

This for me it not ok! We cannot trust them witth our prescriptions.

Return Process
January 31, 2023

Return process not valid. Non workable links and vague customer support with references to "a dedicated team member" addressing the issue. Glasses shouldn't be this difficult to return if SmartGlasses.ca are a genuine and reputable company dedicated to customer service and products satisfaction.

Fake Raybans?
February 1, 2021

Just received my Raybans, From Hong Kong! Pretty sure they're fake. The plastic feels of a very poor quality and the packaging just doesn't sit right with me, the lenses also seem a little brittle for such an expensive pair of sunglasses.

I'll have them checked over and update.

My glasses order was processed and received very quickly. Glasses were at least $100 less expensive than any competitor's website. Many online competitors did not stock the brand or model at all because it was in season. I saved $300 from what I would have paid at my optician. My only comment is that when emailing back and forth with customer service, I communicated with several individuals who had, at best, a beginner to intermediate command of the English language.

I just received my Versace eyeglasses within 6 days of ordering it and they look great! I still cant fathom how fast their service is from Hong Kong to Toronto.
They have superb customer service, employees Shirley and Anna were very helpful. I will definitely recommend my whole family using smartbuyglasses.ca along with anyone that is hesitant is purchasing products online.

I bought a pair of Tom Ford sunglasses from their shop 2 weeks ago. Great service, reliable, and quite fast. Especially, I love the fact that they ship for free throughout Canada, with no conditions (others demand a minimum basket value before offering the shipping).
I recommend this website.

Tip: I ordered several times from them, and I noticed products with a "fast shipping" ship really faster than the others. When ordering fast shipping products, my parcel arrived in one week!

I had extremely efficient and timely customer support. My selected Versace frames were currently not available but I managed to find another frame. Delivery in Canada was earlier than expected and the glasses are amazing. They fit well and being progressives I was quite worried. I also have an extremely high prescription. I was pleasantly surprised at the glasses I received and the vision through the ultra-thin 1.74 lenses that I had selected. So much so that I just ordered another pair online in a Givenchy frame. I hope this pair is as good as the last!

Nike Glasses
September 13, 2021

I was thoroughly impressed with my order!
I was nervous after some of the negative reviews I had read. It did take a few weeks for the glasses to arrive. In those weeks I received status updates on my order frequently.
The glasses are in excellent shape and are exactly what I ordered. They arrived with a Nike case, guarantee card, as well as the original lenses before the prescribed ones were put in. Wow!
I have already ordered a second pair (not Nike).
Looking forward to their arrival!

I have purchased a few sets of sunglasses and have always had a positive experience. Even where a replacement set was required in order to satisfy my earlier shipping needs, the customer service representatives were helpful to ensure I got my sunglasses before heading away on vacation.

I don't have anything to complain about this web store. Everything ran okay. The delivery was faster than I was expecting (2 days after I have paid), the sunglasses seems authentic. So, the only reason of 4 stars it is the price, I know cheaper places.
I would buy more stuff there.

I see there are many horror stories about "suspicious transactions" that go through right away on your credit card and then they say they want your driver's licence to prove you exist. Once you've sent the copy of your driver's licence they then tell you your frames have been back ordered, even though there's nothing on the web site to indicate they are in short supply. Still waiting for my glasses. The frames are still featured as available on the web site.
