A good product. The contacts seem of good quality. It just took a few weeks to receive. I would think it would be a week tops to receive them.

Convenient
June 13, 2025

I'm so glad that they were able to work with me of what the correct contact lenses I should wear based on my optometrist's recommendation. The only issue I have is that it took a week to recieve them.

I shopped around for contacts and they all pretty much said 1-2 week till they arrive. I noticed after a week I received an email stating they ordered them from the manufacturer and would be sent a week later than expected but it ended up being 3 weeks. I called 1800 contacts but they did nothing and didn't care and kept repeating to me what my email said. I then received an email stating they were getting shipped to them. I called again and asked them to expedite them. They told me I would have to pay expetited shipping. Very disappointing. I only went with them as they were a little cheaper, like $10 and there was a rebate which I'm not sure I will ever receive.

Quick!

The ordering process and price are unmatched! The only reason I didn't give 5 stars is because the boxes weren't labeled right or left, that way I knew which eye they go to.

Easy
June 12, 2025

They made it so easy to get your right contact prescription. Give them your doctor information, and they call and verify the prescription for you. I ran out of contact 3 months before my eye appointment, my doctor is always booked so I normally have to book a year In advance, and I can't stand wearing glasses on my face so I needed contacts quick, 1-800 contacts did not disappoint.
