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.

Decent Quality For The Price

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.

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.

I had to call in to tell them it was never delivered to my address. I was told they would expedite a replace and send me a shipped email with tracking. That did not happen either.
