Goggles4u !! Too good to be true ?

Options
Hiya !
After reading about all the cheap specs here on the site Ive stumbled upon this site
https://www.goggles4u.com

They have bendy frames complete with lenses including delivery for a whopping £12.50 !!:eek:

Is this too good to be true ? Has anyone used them ?


Update....Just found a whole bundle of postings for this site on here now.....I might give them a miss.....

  • Im a fan but plenty others arent, the 2 pairs Ive had have been great quality but the first was the wrong prescription,

    however i've saved over £200 and now have a pair of specs that there was no way in the world I would have if it wasnt for goggles4u !!

  • I have ordered over 6 pairs of specs from them in the last few years, and had no problems with them whatsoever.

    I've got quite a few pairs from them. I love em! Only time I had a problem was when they got the tint wrong on my specs. Not a major issue by any means but they gave me a 20% refund anyway.

    I've just ordered a pair from them. For £13.98, I think it's a risk worth taking.

    I paid by Paypal, so took advantage of the exchange rate, and that's what it went through at - saving an extra £1.02!!

    I've had a pair of glasses from them. The prescription is correct, but the frames are wrong for me and don't sit high enough on my nose, so I don't look through the lenses at the correct spot. This is the problem with the frames not being fitted by a professional, and it's not something that can be rectified afterwards. It is the reason I personally wouldn't use them again. But, I agree, the frames are a bargain if they fit you.

    I had a pair of rimless specs from goggles4u for £12.50 and am very pleased with them. Probably not for you if you are into "fare trading". The order goes to somewhere in the USA but the specs were posted to me direct from Pakstan, arrived in a wooden box and great packaging, spare nose pads and a little screwdriver, but you have to wonder how much the guy/lady who made them got paid?
    Construction is a bit DIY, the screws were much too long and had to be cut down.
    A lot of the specs are very narrow across the front so make sure you check the size is right for you.
