Finally able to split an order
September 26, 2024

This is the first place that has allowed me and myvhusband to order on the same order to get the rebate. We can afford 8 boxes between us, but have a hard time affording 8 boxes for each of us.

No Rebate Instructions
September 25, 2024

There is supposed to be a sizable rebate for the lenses that I received and there are no instructions anywhere for the rebate. No email, not in the box with the contact lenses. I won't be ordering again because I feel swindled.

Excellent customer service and support!
September 24, 2024

I called to get information on my order and I was informed that I had to update my prescription information. The customer service rep had the comments from my eye doctor and made the changes that were necessary to get the order processed. I was told to expect a 3 week delivery and was pleasantly surprised to find my order had been delivered in only 3 days! Well done!

Pricing not clear
September 24, 2024

The website said total to the side of the item. Then when I paid for the order it was charged twice as much as it said the total was Needs to be more clear. That is the total of one. I order 2 boxes. I thought I was getting a great deal at first.

Wasn't how I would want it
September 24, 2024

Order was weeks late. Order was late. Order was late. Order was late. Making me type 50 characters wa s unnecessary. I understand the statistics you're tallying. Tell your Business Analyst that this mandatory aspect makes customers, whether a good experience or not, provide negative information out of frustration which is contrary to the point of the qualitative survey they are using. Misleading!

Processing Fee
September 23, 2024

The website was not transparent about what appears to be an arbitrary "Processing Fee"
When questioned about the subtotal not matching what I was charged, they said the processing fee was a marketing thing to make them look more competitive. Beware!

Good deal
September 22, 2024

When I first ordered I was told it was $40. When I received the order it was $175. Coupon comes with it. Make sure you read fine print. Worth the time.

Contact Lens
September 21, 2024

The site was very user friendly and easy to use. I had no problems making sure the prescription matched what I was ordering. It took longer than I anticipated to receive my contact lens. Other than the delay in receipt of the lens my experience was great.

I'm going to order again
September 21, 2024

It took a few days to get my order and the discount I got was well worth the wait. I will order again before my Perscription runs out in the next few weeks. I want to try colored contacts again.
