Shipping
July 10, 2024

I Paid for 2 Day shipping. It definitely took longer than 2 days. How much am I saving by ordering from you online compared to from the Eye Doctor's office? I am just curious to know my savings. Please email me that information. Thank you very much for your time.

All Around Okay
July 9, 2024

When checking prices for contact lenses, I didn't like how the website and on-line order details seemed to hide the true cash outlay. Yes with the rebate, the lenses are average priced. However, all the major distributors are providing portholes to the "national" rebate so yours is not exclusive.
Second, after placing the order, I received an email that the lenses had to be ordered creating a delay. Had I known this beforehand, I probably would have chosen another site. Basically, I felt mislead and postponed doing business with this Company.

Easy
July 9, 2024

Super simple site easy to navigate and find my brand. Easy to upload my prescription. The only thing bad was shipping. I paid $10 for 5-7 business day shipping. It did not arrive until almost 3 weeks later. I understand shipping delays but if I pay for something I want what I paid for if it took longer than shipping should have been reimbursed or waived. Product is great exactly what I ordered and I'm loving being able to see finally without glasses! Thank you

As a first time user of this website, this turned out to be a great experience. My optometrist told me what I needed from a prescription standpoint and 1-800-GET-LENS did the rest. The correct order arrived fairly quickly. I'm pleased!

I tried to order my contacts with another website and it was giving me such a hard time. They charged me without confirming my order and I had to go through my card company to refund the funds. This website made it so easy and fast would 10/10 recommend

So basically this is some foreign operation they got going on here you can order contact lenses and they will send them but it takes like 3 weeks and be prepared to spend double what they're asking you. If it says $49.99 be prepared to spend over $100. Shipping is not free, oh and if you make a mistake you can't cancel your order you're screwed. You have to wait for the payment to process they make sure they get their money and you get nothing good luck.

Many options

Somewhat difficult to find the exact lenses I need, but after a while I found the exact ones! I do have a sort of strange prescription though.
