  • Mine arrived today :T They are excellent value for the price paid. They were posted to me on 13th June & arrived this morning so only 4 days. Any1 still waiting I am sure they will arrive soon & they are definitely worth it. Mine took 25 days from order to arrival but this was due to the huge amt of orders probably as a result of our MSE mail :T

  • I have been improving my eyesight with vision therapy and needed a half power pair of glasses for training purposes, so I ordered the cheapest pair I could from SelectSpecs using this offer. The order date was the 29th of May and I have just received my glasses today on the 22nd of June. So, it took just over three weeks for the item to arrive, which was a little bit longer than expected, but I'm not complaining as I'm very happy with the price and the product. Many thanks for the thread starter for notifying me of this excellent offer. :money:

    Mine came! I'm pleased with them. I bought a plastic frame pair -I'm not going to say they are the best glasses / strongest frames I've ever owned but they are more than good enough and will be great as a spare pair for me.

    An excellent offer

    My order arrived. Yipee! :j
    Two pairs of prescription glasses, ordered 23rd May, notified of shipping on 16th June and arrived from Hong Kong today 22nd June and all for a fiver each. Not bad eh? Not arf!!

    I am bowled over. They are great, fit well, look good, shame about person wearing them tho' ;)

    So if others are waiting, hold tight I'm sure they are on their way soon.
    The bankers stole my pension (and everyone else's). It should have earned a lot of money, but they took their bonus pot first.
  • I ordered 2 pairs of glasses on the 3rd June and haven't had word of when they will be delivered (20 days later!). The company don't have a phone number with someone manning the lines anymore (just an online contact form). I have emailed twice a day since the 10th of June. I still don't have my glasses and feel quiet cheated and if they don't arrive soon I shall be contacting paypal for to get my money back.

    Very very very upset and disappointed. Not worth the time.

    Glasses, two pairs, finally arrived today from Hong Kong. They appear to be plain glass and not made according to the prescription I attached. I thought it was too good to be true.
    I've emailed a complaint. I'm hoping for a refund as I'm not prepared to pay for postage for their return

    They have told me that I ordered distance not reading glasses. I don't remember being given the option to choose.
    Has anyone else had the same problem?
