Eyebuydirect Reviews Summary

The company has garnered a solid reputation for providing affordable, quality eyewear, with many customers praising the extensive selection and effective virtual try-on feature. Satisfaction with product quality is prevalent, particularly for prescription glasses, which are often noted as a cost-effective alternative to traditional retailers. However, concerns regarding slow shipping times and excessive communication, particularly following orders, have been highlighted as significant drawbacks. While most customers express overall satisfaction, the inconsistency in delivery and customer service experiences indicates room for improvement in operational efficiency and support responsiveness.

Eye glasses
February 20, 2021

I ordered from your company it was very easy. My 2 pairs of glasses came very quick. Great way to get glasses.

I was a first time buyer of online prescription glasses. EyeBuyDirect had a very informative process that assuaged my concerns and resulted in an easy experience. They offered a varied and unique selection of frames. Their virtual try-on is a feature I appreciated and helped my decision-making process.

An easier way to compare options from the shipping cart would be an appreciated feature.

I love the way that you can see what you will look like in the glasses. There's so many choices, but it's easy to navigate.

Best glasses ever!

I got two glasses and they're better than if I walked into my eye doctor-the price for two was worth it, plus the expedited shipping.

Import taxes miscalculated
February 18, 2021

I had my glasses shipped to me in Spain. Any item under 45€ shouldn't have additional import taxes. My package was Worth $33, far less than €45, yet the claimed value of the package read €45.26. So when my super cheap glasses got to my door, the delivery person explained I now owed an additional €28 in taxes. These numbers aren't exact as it's been a few weeks, but it was 98% of my original order price and shipping. Which is insane. Especially for a mismarked value on the package. I don't know who is responsible for this mistake, but it's what happened to me. If you can fix this sort of error if the future, please do so. Thank you!

Decent Quality For The Price

Updated review

Eye Buy Direct has the best selection of frames of all the online eyewear providers I researched. This is about my sixth pair from them and other than the lens coating consistently going hazy at about 18 months the quality is decent.

Delivery

I ordered the items in advance of Christmas and they did not arrive before 12/25. I ordered at least a week and a half prior to that date. It took too long to fill the order and then ship out by USPS. UPS would have been faster.
