“Good product and great service”

Tony R.
8/1/21

I have been using Lenstore for around 18 months now and their product has been consistently good. Their delivery is great too. A couple of times it has been a day or so late but that has been down to the delivery people and only to be expected during a pandemic. Overall a great product with great customer service too.

“Cosmetic prescription lenses”

Karin M.
11/1/21

I ordered these for Halloween. I wanted prescription lenses so I could see when wearing them. The company charged £30+ for 2pairs of lenses ( you can't buy 1 pair as each pack has two lenses of the same strength) and they went in fine, fitted fine but the right eye was very blurry making it impossible to walk around as normaI. I complained about this and received a ridiculous answer saying did I have it written by an optician that I can wear the lenses! Damn cheek when they promote these as safe to wear. Avoid:

Beware! Auto-reoder offer was 30% more then original purchase! Reply from Lenstore was on your first order you had special discount! All other lens sellers around have the same prices as my original order price, so claiming you had special discount biggest b... t! Do not buy from here, plenty places with better prices and no cheating!

This has been the 3rd time ordering from this place but today I received a clear nail polish and a credit card offer with NO contacts in the box. Don't know if it's this company or customs. Buyers beware if ordering from the US. Will not be ordering from this place again.

I purchased 8 packs of fresh look monthly disposables recently. During my swap last month I noticed 1 lens (same box my prescription is the same for both eyes) felt uncomfortable, the lens irritated my eye so I discarded it without making any fuss. This month again had the same problem with a brand new box. I swapped the lens over and found it also started to irritate the other eye... which means there is obviously a problem with the quality of the lens. Tried calling customer service this morning and I spoke to someone who didnt seem interested. Next thing I can hear is the engaged tone, called a further 3 times they answer and disconnect your call... called back again and it's going to recorded message waited 6mins holding to be told by an answer machine they are experiencing high levels of calls and they will call me back! No call as yet! I wont hold my breath... poor! Very poor! Please save yourself the hassle and dont bother.

Tip for consumers:
Dont waste your time or money!

I have been buying contact lenses for over ten years now from contactllenses.co.uk. Recently they did not have my prescription for Bausch & Lomb softens colour jade so I bought it from Lenstore.
It arrived quick but as soon as I went to put them on, one lens was broken/ripped. I contacted Lenstore and got no reply. After waiting I called and they asked for a photo of the lens and they would send a replacement. I emailed an image of the lens but again no reply. After waiting 5 days I called the again. They eventually got back to me but this time they said they need my prescription from the opticians which I was not happy as now they have are demanding something totally different from their first request.
I told them this is unnecessary as I have to now go and get it from the opticians, they have wasted a lot of time and they making it long for me to get what my lenses.

Told them forget it and said I will stick to contactlenses.co.uk.

Absolute time wasters, money wasters (£19) as I never got to wear them. Poor customer service and communication. Shocking.
Absolutely disgusted! T

On my third order from lensstore.co.uk, I received a pair of contact lenses of inadequate quality. The colour had faded, and they just were not fit for purpose. I email lensstore.co.uk and explained that I have been wearing the specific brand of contact lenses for the past 20 years, and that this was not the usual colour result I expected. Lensstore.co.uk ignored my email for a length of time, until I emailed them again. They then decided to respond by sending me a lengthy email, about prescriptions and advised I should go to an opticians, when I could be shown all the colours, and decide which one suits me the best. HOW CONDESCENDING OF THEM! I was furious, and sent a reply explaining that I have been wearing the same contact lenses and colour for the past 20 years, and that I did not need their advice on this, I just needed another pair of lenses! They responded by offering me a 12.5% discount and free delivery, with the promise of a refund, once I had sent the defective pair back! My student discount is 15%, and I could not use it in conjunction to this one! Utterly disappointing and ridiculous offer. I replied with a final email, telling them this was out of the question, that I would just put their defective lenses, along with their poor service in the bin, and carry on using their, more expensive, competitor contactlenses.co.uk, because even though they are a little bit more expensive, their customer service is unparalleled. This is the end of my custom to lensstore.co.uk.

I have ordered my lense that i used for the past 5 years. I have not experience something like this with any store worldwide.

They only notify me 2days approaching the lense expected to ship. And took another 2.5 weeks to ship my lense. Then took another 1.5 weeks to received it, even they said is EXPRESS POST from UK to AUS. It is a whopping 1 MONTH LATE.

I know my lense is custom made. And I know the manufacturer will take 3weeks to make. So I am understanding that this will be delay. Most retailer will only be delay for 2weeks until I receive my lense. NOT 1 MONTH!

P/s: Don`t bother wasting your time replying to my review LENSTORE. I have heard all sort of excuse from any retailer throughout 5years of using this lense. Your excuse is absolutely in-excusable!

Ordered from them twice. Original order arrived as promised. Second order they rang as my prescription had changed slightly, I thought this was excellent, they said they would dispatch for next day delivery. Contacts didn't arrive. Rang 2 days later (on a Saturday) to confirm what Had happened, didn't appear to know I had confirmed new prescription is correct. They apologised and said my lenses were being dispatched and postage upgraded so they would be guaranteed for Tuesday.
No lenses arrived. Spoke to someone who says they're out of stock, They'll be dispatched next week, sorry if we didn't make that clear'. NOT ONLY DID THEY NOT MAKE IT CLEAR, THEY PROMISED THEY WOULD BE DELIVERED 2 DAYS LATER!
Have cancelled order. Tried to explain it wasn't not made clear' something entirely different was promised but lady I spoke to had very poor attitude, and kept repeating sorry we didn't make it clear as if I'd made a mistake. Will not be ordering from them again!

I have been ordering from Lenstore for years and I always appreciated fast delivery. This is important if you run out of lenses and you urgently need them the next day. I also contacted them at some point and mentioned as a passing comment that few of my contact lenses were unusable, I suspected damaged, however I didn't have any proof and it happened some time ago. They actually sent me three spare monthly lenses for free and apologised without any further questions.
I did notice that my eyes started being recently quite sore and I had to stop wearing contact lenses, however I can't comment if my eyes are very sensitive or it is due to the product quality. Different suppliers will produce different quality and the same applies to high street opticians. I had a good experience with Lenstore hence I will be changing contact lenses from monthly to daily and a different make, but again through Lenstore.

I enjoy getting my lens from this site - you feel like they really care about you. They send you good discounts and remind you when its time to get your eye tested and to renew your last order. I think they're at the top of their game. I stopped going to specsavers and instead started ordering from them and I've never looked back since.
