Ordered them and a week later they still didn't arrive when I looked it up my order was put on hold. So I had to call and sort it out. Then when they arrived the box was broke and mangled but contacts were okay.
Was easy once we got the prescription handled and it came in reasonable time
Over all I had a pretty good experience, I just had a hard time finding my prescription on my own and I had to end up calling and emailing to get the right prescription which took a while to do. Then I was only able to order 1 box of contacts per eye. One eye has an astigmatism which made it harder to order more than one box so instead of getting how many I wanted i was only to get one box.
I shopped around quite a bit and found this site to be the best value and the contacts arrived very quickly.
I loaded my script and was able to make my order in a matter of minutes which was very convenient. I ordered more than I had planned just so I would qualify for a rebate. I wish the discount would have been just taken off the total. The process for the rebate is confusing. I chose standard shipping and it took just about a week to come.
It took a month to get my contacts from the date I ordered them until I got them. I had to use some contacts from an old prescription that was two years old.
They said that the contacts would be shipped with in days. BUT oh no 3 weeks. The wait was unacceptable.
I don't think I will use this site again.
However they did send an email explaining the reason for the delay. Still it was not something that should happen when the web site touts that your order will be shipped within days. That was a lie.
Shipped quick and was accurate in prescription. Boxes weren't marked left/right. Super happy costumer!
I went to the website I found the lenses I uploaded my doctor's prescription and they were here in 5 days! Easy peasy!

It was very easy for me to order my lenses. I received them way before the date they say it would be delivered
Love ordering contacts online. Customer service is great to work with when there are questions. Appreciate the follow up after the order has been received, shipped, and received.
Got my exact prescription the wait is just a bit longer than i expected
Your processing fees are crazy. I can't get my contacts local, and not have to wait on delivery.
Great service and received my contacts within a few days with no issues at all.
I love the contacts I can see a lot clearer
Product as described & delivered quickly although I was not provided tracking information
Having to wait long time for delivery but overall just fine.
