EyeBuyDirect.com sells prescription eyeglasses and frames, as well as sunglasses.
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.

Could be better if more sunglasses had my RX availability

I waited too many days before I receive my glasses, the delivery time was terrible.
Called the hotline and the attendant was very helpful.
First time user so not experienced in the website but it was frustrating when i had to keep entering the information every time I selected a different pair of glasses. I would have to enter my prescription information over and over again.
Caused a lot of confusion with order number mixes up with customer with the same name. Difficult to communicate with customer service rep.
I've ordered several pies of glasses from here and I've been satisfied every time. Quality of the product, shipping time, price, and even customer service have all been wonderful every time.
I appreciated the ease of selecting glasses, being able to take a picture and see myself in them before I placed my order, entering in my prescription information was not difficult, and ordering the glasses was easy to manage. In addition, EyeBuyDirect provides a variety of stylish frames to choose from. I plan to purchase another pair in a different style for my birthday.;+)
Easy to manage and love that you can take a picture and see yourself in the glasses.
I initially ordered glasses from Eyebuydirect because I received an email promo claiming 15% off my purchase and 2-day shipping. It took a week for the glasses to ship out and 3 more weeks to be delivered.
It took over two weeks to get our products. I was disappointed with the delivery time. I understand that we ordered at a very busy time but I think that needs to be relayed at check out. I think it's misleading to say that you're going to get your order within 3 to 4 days when in actuality it could be 14 days.
The original order was not correct. This was after I had someone from Eyebuy Direct walk me through the order. Both the original and corrected order took a long time to receive. The end product exceeded my expectations. I wanted some reading glasses that did not reflect off light when on Zoom meeting, which they do a great job of. Also they feel good and look good.
Glasses were a great price and amazing quality. Even came in a holiday box since delivery was around Christmas :)
Got my glasses in less than 2 days and looked exactly as pictured. Good quality especially for the low price compared to stores.
Easy and loved that I could see what they looked like on me before I got them!

I've had GREAT experiences with other purchases, however these glasses slide off of my nose way too often
I ordered glasses for my husband. The doctor's office wrote down the wrong prescription but we didn't realize until the glasses arrived and my husband couldn't see. I filled out return forms on EyeBuyDirect, immediately reordered the glasses and they took care of it all. They emailed me to confirm the prescription and took care of it all not charge to me. It was great! I will always come back here for glasses.
EyeBuyDirect is wonderful. I can try glasses on and it is by far the best deal.
You guys reacted in a timely manner, when my new frames broke.
It was difficult to choose glasses that could accommodate my complex prescription
Product was as expected. Took about a month to receive the glasses though.
I tried multiple pairs. The price and products were great (I use them for my son), but I have such a strong strength of prescription and the lenses were just not up to the quality level for those.
Really simple and intuitive process, especially for my first time online shopping for prescription glasses. My only issue would be not receiving a working tracking number. I wasn't able to find where the glasses were until they arrived. But it did make for a lovely Christmas surprise.

Answer: Or you can be like me and have not received your order after more than a month of waiting. Granted, I'm in Guam, but given that the USPS works here pretty much the same way it works in the states, no other retailer has any problem getting their packages to me in a timely manner. The company has sent me two different tracking numbers for the same package. The tracking report from the post office says the package was supposed to be here 12 days ago and the last time it appears the package was scanned was 24 days ago. I have emailed the company multiple times and every time they reply with some generic apology and continue to stall. The package clearly got lost in the mail, I get that and I am typically a reasonable person but any respectable merchant intent on providing good customer service in today's online marketplace would have owned up to the issue and offered a refund or have already shipped out a replacement product. They've done neither. Does it mean they are bad people running a bad business? Probably not. However, it does mean there are probably better companies out there to give your business to who won't take so long to get you your glasses.
Answer: It depends on the frame. Some are plastic, some are metal, and there are other materials used as well. The descriptions will indicate the materials they are made out of. I've ordered 3 pairs from EBD ($6 and $9 pairs--cheapest there are) and they are excellent quality. An equivalent pair of frames alone from the store would have cost $150+, not including lenses.
Answer: I received two pairs very quickly but was very disappointed when i put them on only to find out the prescription was completely wrong. There are no refund or exchange directions in your website or with the packaging, so I did not know the number to call. Please get in touch with me asap about exchanging the glasses for ones with the correct lenses. Thank you very much. My name is Ellen Mazzeo Larkfield road East norport, ny Phone: 917-763-0092 I the glasses came without any paperwork and I do not have the order number that was originally used on both pairs. I bought them within this past month or so. (This is after returning a pair that I sent back for the same problem(. Please call me or email me so I can figure out how to correct this error. Or please send me your customer service phone number that I can talk to someone live. Thank you. Emazzeo
