Late
February 14, 2025

I thought it was supposed to be canceled because you guys had to reach out to another website to get the contact lenses and then I find out that it never was canceled and then my shipment shows up after I already went to another company and paid for contact lenses which isn't of running me over $300 for the purchase of both the contact lenses from two companies so for this reason I won't be ordering through 1-800 get lens.

Five stars!
February 14, 2025

I was able to get my contacts quickly! I was constantly being updated about when they would be shipped and the overall process. They didn't have my prescription and had to reach out to their third party, I was never not notified about each step which made me feel really secure about my purchase. Thank you for making everything so easy!

It was fine. Could've been a little quicker with all of your extra fees that I paid in addition to shipping

Shipping took over 3 weeks
February 14, 2025

Ordering experience was easy and quick. My complaint is that my contacts took over 3 weeks to ship. They were delivered only took a few days later, but if I would have known that it would take 3 weeks to ship, I would have made other arrangements. Extremely disappointed in the shipping time frame.

Not sure what happened
February 12, 2025

Thought I ordered 2 12-pack boxes, 1 box for right lense and 1 box for left. I received 2 12-pack boxes for left lense, no refill of right lense.

Ridiculous 'fees'
February 11, 2025

2 x $44 = $88
The fact it costed $165 is beyond ridiculous.
I will NEVER spend my money with you again.
Had I seen the total before ordering I would have never agreed to that price.
