However, several reviews point to significant concerns regarding service delays, unexpected fees, and occasional issues with customer support.

Great experience
January 31, 2025

Not only did they beat Costco and Sam's prices for the Dailies Multifocals, they clobbered the other online competitor's prices. The follow-up to ensure the lenses was a nice touch. I'll be ordering from 1-800-Get-Lens in the future

Old contact lenses
January 30, 2025

I received my contacts and they were over 3.5 years after the manufacture date; meaning I had a much more limited time before they expired. (1.5 years). Since I don't wear all the time, I'll need to throw some away. Watch your expiration dates!

This was my first experience, ordering contacts online and it went so smoothly! I thought the website was easy to use. I really liked that. They followed up on the prescription and wanted to talk to an eye doctor to make sure they got it right. I love that they confirmed that the contacts arrived. I would definitely order from them again.

Ordering original order was confusing, I accidentially ordered two, then had to cancel one, billed for two, and the process of the rebate is also confusing and I'm trying to do it now.

Once I uploaded my prescription I was good to go. Shopped around a bit and with the rebates 1-800 get lens was the lowest price by far.

Previous review

I received my contacts in a timely manner and the customer service rep was very helpful in getting my prescription from my optometrist. I'm just hoping the rebate cones fast. I filled it all out and sent in the rebate with my box cut outs so now I'm just waiting to see.

Good prices, service could better.
January 27, 2025

They canceled order due to issue on their end, I had to place a new order per their request. Then there were no notifications of shipping, no tracking, nothing. Thankfully they showed up 2 weeks later.

My script was prepared and shipped very fast, however, FED-EX after receiving and shipping my order took 11-Days to deliver! I'm attributing this to the weather and a general slowdown nationwide.
