1-800-GET-LENS Reviews Summary

The company has garnered a mixed reputation, with customers appreciating the ease of ordering and competitive pricing for contact lenses, often highlighting a smooth online experience and effective prescription verification. However, several reviews point to significant concerns regarding service delays, unexpected fees, and occasional issues with customer support. While many customers express satisfaction with the product quality, the frustration over communication and transparency in pricing suggests a need for improvement in these areas. Overall, the company demonstrates potential for customer loyalty but must address operational inefficiencies to enhance overall satisfaction.

Contacts
June 3, 2024

I thought hey, not a bad price. But when it came to paying... There was 98.00 in taxes and fees, which was more than the amount of the price of the contacts. Will just probably go though the doctors office next time.

Inconvenient rebate
June 3, 2024

To get the rebate you need to print out it a form, cut out part if the contact lense box and mail it all in. Then wait for the rebate. This was very inconvenient.

Re-shipment of Order
May 23, 2024

The process for requesting the re-shipment of my lost order during shipment could have been easier if online forms had been available. However, the staff's expediency in processing my claim was more than acceptable.

Ridiculously confusing
May 23, 2024

Apparently I ordered from Get Lens but received product from Lens.Com? When I called to check on the order it wasn't in Get Lens system. It was in Lens.Com but apparently under a different name? I asked what name and was told for security reasons he couldn't tell me. My reply was "for security reasons I won't order from you again". What kind of foolishness is this? You send a product and then can't find my information in your system?

I ordered from this site, because the prices were better than other sites(so I thought). When I got the order confirmation it said the subtotal was $117. When I got the shipping confirmation it said $117 plus $9.95 shipping with a total coming to $186. Clearly there was a mistake. When I called the company they said that the extra $60 was "tax and charges". Nowhere did they publish that on my email or receipt. Tax, ok fine, but what were the charges that basically added up to half of my order? I asked if I could have a breakdown of the charge and it itemized on my bill. I was told no. Flat out NO, we don't do that. So needless to say, when I got my order I requested a return label and sent it back. I am still awaiting my refund. I ordered from 1800contacts. While the same exact product is a Little more expensive, in the end the total transaction was $20 less and no fees. Do your research!

For some reason it was hard to verify my prescription but it eventually got taken care of. Only an extra day waiting.
