purchasing glasses and spectacles online

theGrinch

I was browsing goggles4u (recommended on MSE). Nice range of specs, but Im put off by the american telelphone number and the currency keeps reverting to $$.

Can anyone recommend a good value UK site for purchasing specs online?

pawsies

in the same position!

just been recommended selectspecs from a relative. The designer ones are made in the UK and are good quality, the budget ones are less well made.

I'd go for designer for peace of mind. I think that's what I'm going to do.

did you browse goggles4 u? I also looked at glasses direct. I used them previously, but prices much higher now.

are you on googles4u.co.uk - not .com ?

Ive used them for 8 ish pairs over the last 5 years +

the only problem I've had is with a rimless pair but they rectified it pretty quickly

I have used Selectspecs twice now and found them very good,

I used Glasses Direct with last months MSE offer. I'm really pleased with both pairs, one normal and one pair of sunglasses. Really quick delivery too.

i can also say big yes to glasses direct, had a pair last yr when there was a mse offer, idea was they were going to be an emergency pair, really impressed with the service, the quality of the frames and the lenses. recommended the site to a couple of friends, intending to go back for prescription goggles from them, x

its starts .co.uk and then sometimes goes to .com when I click on view specs. prices seem to alternate between ££ and $$

Used both but only goggles4u have adult frames small enough for me! Been ace both times and each pair was under £10 as rarely wear them as I usually have contacts!

Sorry to butt in

Just to let you know that all our budget items are being shipped from the UK for the forseeable future, this should give much faster delivery. With regards to quality, many of our budget items are of equal if not better quality than many of the designer branded items.
