Lensway rip off warning!!!!

My glasses haven't turned up, my e-mails are not replied to, and the customer care line runs heavy metal on a loop. HAVE THEY GONE BUST? OR ARE THEY JUST A RIP OFF? BEWARE!!!

Comments

  • I have used them many times with no problems.
  • The first pair i ordered took 5 weeks to arrive ! When they did, i realised i'd got the prescription wrong :/ phoned, asked for a return label, told them my correct prescription.

    I got the return label same day and new pair of glasses arrived a week later (can only assume speed is dependant on how busy they are, my first order was due to a promotion which i'm now guessing a lot of people took up)

    Anyway, 2nd pair also weren't right :/ so called, got return label, sent back those as well.. There was never any quibble or question and refunds came back pretty quick.

    Based on a final 'no purchase' i'd have no hesitation in recommending someone try them

    Praise, Vent & Warnings is the place for ill-founded rants, not grabbit.
  • I was fine with them too, got one of their offer pair of specs which was perfect.

    I say persist, they're not all rotten
  • i have shoped with them and all was good. not really the right board to rant on

    I have used Lensway for the last couple of years and have never had a problem. In fact I have been happy to recommend them to many people.
