4 pairs of glasses later, I'd never use WP again for glasses. Now? Glasses USA, great prices and good selection of frames. Warby Parker got my Rx wrong 3 times, and waiting for those stupid "millennials" to try and assuage me by telling me "everything is cool". That's a "business model"? Wow. Get your glasses from a reputable nearby optician.

Terrible service
August 4, 2020

Customer service is absolute garbage both in and out of store. Email system has no response, no receipts sent out, online chat doesn't work, and phone takes 20-40 minutes to reach someone every time who is no help. Sent my return a week ago and still no refund. Terrible service.

Garbage
May 30, 2019

How do you not have black frames for any style of glasses you have? The selection is garbage the ones that I did pick, I only half assed liked, they showed up and fit like crap. I basically pulled the plug on Warby Parker at that point, don't even waste your time.

It is the 2nd pair of prescription glasses my husband bought. For the second time in the row, in less than one week of purchasing, the glasses fell off his face, and a car crashed it. We didn't even had enough time to go back to their store for an adjustment (which is 1 1/2 hour away from my house). The styles are cute, and the concept is great. However, glasses are not functional for working people unless you are a geek seating still in front of the computer all day without moving your head.
Do NOT waist your money!

I had to try after so many people telling me how great WP is. I found the frames I loved and ordered. They arrived in a great time frame. They were definitely too big when they arrived so I contacted customer service so responded within minutes. They told me I could go into a Warby Parker where they would easily adjust the frames, or I could go anywhere else to do this and if that other place was the charge for adjustments, WP would reimburse up to $50! That itself I found wonderful. As I preferred only someone from Warby to fix them I waited until the following week where I was in Cincinnati visiting family. They have a Warby Parker, Louisville KY does not. I was in and out in less than 10 minutes. Very pleased with the whole experience

I've worn glasses since grade school. They are a part of me and as close to me as my nose... But I've always had to spend $1000 or more for glasses that were never worth that much. Then I found Warby Parker and realized what a difference this was going to make in my life! I can get 10 pair for the price of one! They aren't top quality but if they last a year they've more then paid for themselves. They are great online, over the phone and in the store. BUT Newgistics shipping is horrible! They are going to be the downfall of Warby Parker, unfortunately. It boggles the mind why they just don't ship them directly with the postal service?

Poor customer service
March 15, 2022

Twice - I've attempted to buy a pair of glasses, but once I place the order and send prescription, I get an email that something is wrong! First email - no Pupillary distance #. Second email - no cylinder #. Twice I ended on phone with customer rep, not a good experience: I wish they'd have more patience; I gave them a prescription that I had no idea was lacking the needed information. I ask questions, they are inpatient and get irritated.

The positive side is that to have them send out glasses for try-on is a great idea. But I'm not doing business with them again.

I ordered my prescription glasses. I then received a call that they could not fill my prescription. I decided with the associate to get the frame and have it made up locally. I only wanted this frame in blue. But apparently they were out of the blue and without saying anything to me they just sent it in tortoise. By the way I have been wearing glasses for 55 years and these were the most uncomfortable ever.

My glasses do not fit. I have tried to reach out to customer service and they refused to assist. There store is closed due the pandemic but they didn't put any policies in place to ensure custers were satisfied with their product. I regret buying these glasses and I will never trust them again.

I have worn Warby Parker glasses for years. Initially the glasses were sturdy. But my last few have been flimsy. The metal attaching the arms to the frame bend very easily. Within a few weeks, the hangers were so loose that the glasses were falling off.
I have had a decent experience with customer service in the sense that they have been quick to respond and courteous. The bad part is that there is never anything they can do.

I'd avoid them.

Defecting product, no refunds for customers
April 3, 2023

I bought a couple boxes of contact lenses from Warby Parker for the first time. The first pair from the box ripped within the same day I put them in. This has never happened to me before. I contacted customer service and they said they only issue replacments or refunds with unopened boxes. This makes no sense to me. How would I know I needed a replacement or some kind of remedy before I opened them. Use 1-800-contacts intead, they have a quality guarantee that they stand by. They will mail you replacement lenses in a case like I described above.

Don't go to Warby Parker!
December 20, 2023

The filled my same prescription wrong 3 times!
The got the prescription to high and the progressive lenses to low and could not see clearly after 3 times
Gave up and asked for my money back
They were not friendly and didn't seem to care about anything
Didn't offer a any discount or to adjust any thing after 3 times of filling the same prescription
Won't go back again and I would beware of poor quality of work and rude employees
These are the 2 people I had to deal with in OKC on Classen circle

Poor Customer Service
February 5, 2020

My Order Number: *******
This order was placed in Tyson Corner Mall Store.

I have ordered my glasses on mid Dec-2019 and was told that I will receive my glasses in 2 weeks. Upon several requests the company responded on Feb-05-2020 saying that my glasses were shipped. The way they handle the orders is pathetic and no control. Please beware if you order from this company. Suggestion is that we should not commit full amount when you place an order. Should only commit around 1/4 of the price to have a flexibility of cancellation of the order.

Thanks,
Prasad Karuturi

Not sure why so many bad reviews... My experience has been top notch. I order glasses for me and my husband, lenses are great the frames are fantastic and the customer service has always been fast friendly and helpful. I love this company so much I sook out an opportunity to leave a good review somewhere and I hardly ever do that. I strongly recommend you give them a try!

I ordered online a replacement pair of glasses, as those I have are scratched. After 3 weeks, I asked for an update, and they realized that the person who had taken my order had made a mistake and they were waiting for me to send my glasses, in order to replace the lenses. I paid the difference in order to get the frame as well and I was assured my finally corrected order would be given priority and I'd receive what I needed in one week. One week later, without any news, I wrote them. And then one of their supervisors realized that, not only that frame was no longer available, but that they could not send me another pair of glasses without a doctor's appointment first! I will certainly NOT use their services every again, and I will keep wondering if they took advantage of me because, as they know from my doctor's appointments in the past, and my own name, that I am a foreigner.

They are all style and do not stay on my face. Well, they did when I tried them on in the store and when they first arrived, But then after 1 day the springs lost their tension and the glasses stopped fitting. 1 DAY!

By far the lowest quality glasses I have experienced. If you want glasses that stay true to size and on your face, shop another brand.

Poor Chinese Made
October 9, 2019

Warby Parker is just cheep made plastic from China. They started out at $95 but that didn't last long. At $95 they're an ok product. If you have to pay more just buy a quality pair of shades that last. They're cheaply made.

HORRID QUALITY
April 3, 2017

Looked in to these just to see if they are all the cracked up to be... And you get what you pay for is all I can say. Worst quality glasses I have ever seen. Scratch at the slightest touch and the lens are such a poor quality. Go to your optometrist and order a real pair of glasses that is worth your money instead!

Don't Do It!
December 19, 2020

Absolute junk. I never do these reviews, but just want to warn fellow consumers that these glasses are overpriced JUNK. My pair literally fell apart in two weeks. Little screws were gone in TWO WEEKS. Now I have to go have somebody repair these. Stay as far away from this company as possible

I really love the affordable frame selection, but would love to see more low bridge/Asian fit styles. I did the Home Try On program but none of them fit my face so I went in store and was disappointed to find out that the style I wanted, I couldn't have because my high prescription and the glasses being non-centered on me, would cause distortion. Did eventually pick a low bridge style that worked for me, but would love to see more options, as they only had 5-6 styles to choose from. Overall though, they have great customer service and good quality glasses at affordable price ranges.
