    Ordered from googles4u. Came in 7days! Unfortunately they were broken as the box was a bit crushed. Emailed them and they said they'd send out a replacement pair . Will let you all know how it goes

    Ordered Semi-Rimless from Goggles4u.com.

    Plus Points- Arrived in good time, Low cost, spare nose rests & screws, Frames good looking.

    Minus Points - Edges of lens are not polished, prescription wrong on one side, lenses are like bottle tops, Case too large for glasses (They will get marked if they move about too much).

    I have had TWO pairs from https://www.spex4less.com

    Plus Points - both pairs are exactly correct prescription, look good, low cost, staff are very helpful and will do their utmost to assist, freephone number.

    Minus Points - None

    You pay a little more for glasses, especially semi rimless, but I do feel peace of mind counts for a lot.

    If you are hard up (ain't we all) and really need to save a fiver then the cheapo foreign companies are O.K. but for me I will stay with Spex4less.com.

    Note: Sign up for their newsletter for a limited time you can receive sunglasses at no extra cost.
    Also, with every pair of glasses I will include:-

    Free Anti-Scratch Prescription Lenses
    Free Protective Hard Case
    Free Lens Cleaning Cloth
    Free World Wide Delivery
    Free Help Line For Professional Advice
    Secure Online Ordering
    VAT

    And for a limited time only, if you subscribe to my FREE newsletter, I will send you 2 offer coupon codes within 1 minute which you can use to claim:

    #1) Free Anti-reflective coating worth £20.00
    #2) Free Sunglasses tint worth £10.00

    Is there any companies where you can send your old glasses to and have new lenses fitted?

    Cant convince the wife to buy glasses from internet companies but would send of her old pair for new lenses.

    Hiyah,

    As it happens Spex4less (See previous post) also do this.

    It'll cost just £15.00 if they re-glaze the old frames.

  • I ordered a pair of glasses from https://www.glasses2you.co.uk at £15.00.

    They came within 7 days and were fantastic.I've since recommeded them to other friends and family, some of whomhave also ordered and have been delighted.

    They came through the door and were very well packaged.

    I would certainly use them again. I hope thats helpful to any potential glasses wearers?
  • :j Couldn’t help myself I just bought another pair of Prescription Glass from https://www.selectspecs.com this time went for a lovely pair of ‘Nike Vision’ Prescription Glass and again when they arrived they where great, a first class service and save myself about £180

    I went with https://www.selectspecs.com as they offer:

    Free thin lenses
    Anti Reflection
    UV protection
    Scratch resistant lenses
    Anti smudge treatment

    They offer theses treatments for free with their lenses. I found that all the other sites didn’t give you these treatments or tried to charge you a load more for them, (hiding these extra costs just like the high street).

    https://www.selectspecs.com offers these treatments for free and have a range starting from £13.

    My goggles 4u second pair - Ordered just a week ago arrived today.

    Got a Gucci hard case this time which in itself is probably worth a few pounds at least.
    First impressions.- OK - noticed the nose rests are not symmetrical - - However this doesn't affect the look as they look perfectly straight when I wear them. Doesn't seem to affect their use or appearance.


    Again can't argue with the value and build quality for around £12.

    After reading this thread I ordered some semi rimless glasses with ultra thin lenses from Optical4less.com . They took about 2 weeks to arrive and are lovely. They cost about £60, inc delivery from Hong Kong. They look exactly like the picture, and I'm very happy with them.
