Taxes and Fees
April 2, 2025

The site itself was good. The cost of the contact lenses themselves was wonderful. Until you got to the check out and was thrown for a loop with the taxes and fees! I had almost $250 worth of taxes and fees tacked onto my order. I thought I was only going to pay around $350 for a years worth of contacts. Nope! Almost $750 later. This was supposed to be cheaper than getting them at my doctors office. Nope. Not sure I will be ordering from here again.

My experience was terrible. You charge about $60 per box of contacts, which comes up to about $120 for two boxes, but when I went to check out, a mysterious add-on fee of approximately $50 had been added to my order total. That totals up to about $85 per box, not $60.

AND, you're charged me an additional $10 for shipping on top of that price-gouging fee!

I tried every link I could find on the site to find out what the phantom $50 fee was, but couldn't find it and because delivery would've been faster than going through my eye doctor, who coincidentally charges almost the exact same $85 per box of contacts, I purchased them from you and THEN received the details behind your bogus $50 add-on fees.

I had a terrible experience and will not order from your company again.

My experience was fine. Not a fan of cutting out part of the box to receive your rebate. As then the box is less functional.
