My prescription for left eye was 1/4 point too strong and they would not redo the lens (even though I was willing to pay for it) without making me go back to the doctor or optometrist. There are many other places online as well as eyeglass stores on Main Street that I have made these kinds of adjustments for me before

I bought two pairs of glasses for my daughters which at some point broke. We went back the second time last week after the summer break as my daughters did not use glasses over the summer. They took my credit card information and said its all done. Shipping was an outrageous $60 each if I wanted to get them in two days. Then two days later they sent me emails that they could not process the credit card even though they took payment at the store. So so much for getting them before school starts. Go at your own risk. You will wait a long time unless you pay for super expensive shipping and they will break soon after. Its probably one of the worst places to buy glasses.

Not "Fun", "Easy" or "Fabulous".
August 19, 2021

Tried as I might, I really wanted to like this company because they have nice looking glasses. Sadly, since this is all done "on-line", their method of taking measurement is by your computer's camera, or by a picture you take on your phone. I let them take control of my web-cam, not once but 3 times - each time they had another reason why the picture wasn't good enough. O. k., I get it, they want to make sure their measurements are spot-on. Anyway, can't think of a better reason to go get this done at your local vision center.

Super stylish!
August 22, 2017

Look, Warby Parker is THE place to get sunglasses. Period. They have such a good grasp on style from classic to modern, they got it all! Check out their website or one of their brick and mortar stores, it's totally worth it!

I've never wrote a review before but today, I drove 45 minutes to check out Warby Parker frames in Nashville. I was there for about 30 minutes and the lady helping me said very little to me... in fact, she was so concerned about whatever she was doing on her laptop, that I felt invisible. I would rather spend my money elsewhere. If customer service is something you're looking for. Don't bother..

I ordered from Warby Parker more than a week ago and as of today they have no idea where my package is. I got an email saying it was shipped, but it was an old tracking number from over a month ago to some address in Jersey... Not sure what they are trying to pull.
I called in numerous times, and all they would say was that my package was being treated abnormally and to wait.
I just hope a actually get my glasses that I paid for. They didn't offer any sort of compensation for my order being outside of the 7-10 day receiving window they promised on their website. This company being run by incompetent people who give attitude to customers when they call and don't try to make it right.
If I end up getting my credit card bill before I receive my glasses, I will dispute the charge and not pay until I get them!

Best experience ever getting a thing I hate - glasses. I have two regular pair and one prescription sunglasses and I am happy with the style, price, service and performance. Yes, the first time I ordered on line, I was asked if I'd approve an extra $30 for high index lenses if my prescription required it and I did see the $30 on my bank card for a day, but it was credited back without my asking. I consider this a computer glitch, not some scheme to cheat the customer. I've chatted over style selection by email, lovely people, quality product. Shop here!

I went into my local Warby Parker store and found the perfect frames for me. The staff was incredibly helpful and friendly. I love the way I look in my glasses which is insane because I've always been a contact person. Reading some of these other reviews makes me wonder if people have any common sense at all. My glasses came a little warped and I went to my local optical shop to have them adjusted. How can they possibly fit your face perfectly out of the box? You're not there for them to adjust them to your face! Also THEIR PRICES! Polycarbonate lenses AND frames for $95? Literally just do some research about it.

I ordered two pairs of cute glasses. And after 3 phone calls to keep providing them information I already provided, one lost order, and 4 weeks of waiting I finally got my glasses. Both had the wrong prescription - and each was wrong in a different way. I had to go back to the store, wait for a half hour, be told "it's not their job" to figure out how to handle the problem ("that is done by customer care ") I just returned them. Colossal waste of time to deal with WB

Poor service.
December 8, 2021

I went back to add a new prescription to an existing pair of Warby Parker glasses and was told, "we don't make those frames anymore, you should go to Costco" (even though I only wanted new lenses).
I'm done.
P.s. I don't think they really sell anything for $95 (unless it frames with no lenses). Mine were $309.

Poor service and quality
December 23, 2022

Had an appointment at 9:45 and when I arrived at the Roosevelt Field location the lights were out. When I came back at 10:00 they took already taken another customer in for an appointment and was told by the apprentice optometrist that he didn't know if I could be seen and would need to be squeezed in. He was rude and condescending. No customer service and poor lens quality. Never again

Awful service
August 16, 2020

Warby Parker is very quick to request payment and very slow to deliver a promised product. My order as well as my son's became lost within the Warby Parker system and after calling multiple times while experiencing extended hold periods I learned through very vague customer service statements that the glasses were not yet in production. This is after 2-3 week ordering period. I do not recommend purchasing eye-wear from this company. Strong on promise, short on delivery.

BEST CUSTOMER SERVICE
October 22, 2020

The best customer service I have EVER received! Warby Parker genuinely cares about their customers and allowed me to exchange my glasses 2 times with no problems at all! Quality service and quality product, 10/10 would recommend to a friend.

Disappointing so far!
September 4, 2019

Ordered a pair of glasses using their home try-on service. As another reviewer commented, they're quick to send those out. I placed an order for glasses, and then the problems started. First, they made a mistake with the charges for thin lenses, which I had to point out to them. Then their customer service ghosted me. No one responded to e-mails or live chats asking for a status update. I did finally reach a customer service rep by phone. But really, if a company is going to tell customers to reach out by e-mail or live chat, customers should not have to jump through hoops to reach someone. I truly hope that the glasses I ordered will be up to snuff but now based on the problems I've already experienced, I'm really worried...

Nice people but delivery is not within quoted times; no one in the store I went to knew how to properly fit glasses (I ended up going back 4 times). Long wait for fitting. Finally I returned 3 pairs of glasses (Warby Parker authorized return) and I am still fighting for a refund for one pair. Really incompetent opticians and time wasted experience.

Use To Be Good
August 10, 2020

The first time I used Warby Parker when they first started they were excellent. Poor Service now. I kept waiting for second set of glasses I ordered and I looked at my order status on their website. Stated "We need more information". When you call no one answers the telephone and they never respond to your email. I guess they have become so big they cannot keep up with the demand of their customers. Shop somewhere else.

Complete incompetence...
November 25, 2019

A total letdown at every level. Called the toll free number ans was told they could do my prescription... called the local store to verify - same story. Spent an hour in the store, ordered the glasses (and paid) and was told 2 days later that they could not fill my order. Customer service promised me a call back... still waiting. STAY AWAY from this company - go to your local peeps so you have some real service.

Terrible service
March 28, 2020

9.00 turns into 350.00 which doesn't include a case. I've had 5 different emails from 5 different employees. Stating everything from we can't find your order to we found your order but need more information. After sending the information I'd get another email stating can't find your order again. I should have read the reviews with a rating of 2.8. All their money is put into their great advertising and none at all in customer service. Cancelled my order and will purchase from here in town for half the price and one tenth the time. What a headache!

Like a lot of companies, when Warby Parker began they were amazing and actually wanted their customers to be happy. I get 2 pairs of glasses each year. I have seen the dramatic decline. This year 12/29/17 the customer service was so bad I thought it was a joke. I first tried to chat - rude & insulting. I then waited on hold for a "live person". WHOA! Rude! Its a new year and I am sure there is a new eyeglass startup to explore. I suggest you do that. I know I will be! Happy 2018

... and they have no warranty beyond one year for $250+ progressive lenses. I won't use them again. They did offer a $50 discount on replacement of lenses and frames. Not worth taking the risk of another failure. I have had glasses from other (better quality?) sources last for 10 years.
