Misleading
December 17, 2024

It is very misleading to advertise inexpensive contacts then tack on $50+ "processing fee" plus $10 shipping. The customer isn't saving anything. I also do not appreciate that your site ahows up first when googling 1800contacts.

Somewhat Satisfied
December 16, 2024

I'm satisfied with my purchase; thay i jyst received today. However, i didnt get a breakdown of my bill. Because from the receipt I got from you guys, it does does not add up right. I would have liked a better breakdown of what I'm being charged. The order also took longer than advertising from what I've seen. Which, concerns me, if the this was going to be an all the time thing, or it was just for the first time.

Communication breakdown
September 18, 2024
Previous review

I had to call and find as to why my order was not delivered to me by the original delivery date of September 5th. After contacting your customer support team they explained my contacts had to be special ordered and would arrive a week after they were due. Why did I have to reach out to you to find out the status of my order? Why wasn't a generic email sent to me explaining why my order would be delayed? Lack of communication is not good for business.

Longer than expected delivery
December 13, 2024

5 to 7 days shipping turned into 2 and a half weeks due to my contacts having to be ordered. I understand but feel like that should have been communicated during the checkout process.

I thought the website was very user friendly and that maybe it would be a pain that my eye doctor wasn't on their list but they made it work and it was easy. I paid the fee for fast shipping and they came 2 days later just like they said they would.
