Shouldn't have to call in
August 9, 2024

I submitted an order that I needed to correct and was told I would have gotten an email about the correction action needed, but never got any emails. I sent an email to customer support and was told the wrong brand was ordered and they couldn't fix the issue. I reached out to chat support and was told they couldn't do anything either and had to call. Why is there chat and email support if I have to call. I had to spend my entire lunch break getting this resolved and was a huge hassle.

Hidden cost
August 7, 2024

Why do lens companies make it look like a cheap price only to add it in under processing fees
What a scam!
What processing cost that much?
Very shady

Surprise charges
August 7, 2024

I thought I was getting a great deal on contacts, but when I got my bill I was surprised to see a processing fee of $150. Coupled with the need to do a mail-in rebate, this ended up being more of a hassle than it was worth.
