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.

The prices and selection are great! I just wish the price on the sunglasses wouldnt jump so much from non prescription to prescription glasses. Other than that, the selections are all great values!

Recommended by my daughter. She sent me a $10 off coupon for signing up. Coupon didn't work, so she found another FIRSTFRAME. Got free shipping and 20% off. The price makes it easy to buy several frames for various occasions.

Although a discount and free shipping were "offered" (for first time customer), neither was available when it came to checkout. Couldn't delete one of two pairs of glasses from the order prior to checkout. Had to go to another computer to place the order. Not a good experience.

Pros:
- Friendly web interface. Details in product information.
- Quality is okay, but good looking frames for under $50.
- Lenses are cheap. Cant' complain at $6.95.
- Variety of styles.
- Fast shipping.
Cons:
- Coupons will never apply on sale products.
- Never offer free shipping. $5.50 is not much, but customers will blindly pay for a mark-up price items and get free shipping. Marketing 101. Look at what Amazon has been doing for years.

My only reason to come back here is because Costco and Zenni did not have the frames I was looking for. If you want a good looking and cheap pair of eyeglasses, this website is a right place. If you are willing to get great quality lenses and frames, go with Costco or Zennioptical.

So far, so good

I just ordered my first pair, so we'll see! I'm pleased with the selection and the ease of ordering. I'm still sort of skeptical, since it seems weird to order prescription eyeglasses without trying them on.

My experience with the site was a little difficult, the person I spoke with kept breaking up, however we got thruogh it. The person on the other end was berry helpful, she walked me through how to set up my account in order to purchase my frames. I will be letting all my eyeglass wearing friends/family about this site, keep up the good work

Eyebuydirect are very friendly and easy to order glasses for regular prescirptions and extra pairs.
Well designed web site.
In past the orders was first order was slow but increased in my third order, so that indiciates to me that they was checking my prescription to make it right.
Good Job

This is my second time ordering glasses from here and it is still my favorite site to order glasses from by far. Easy to navigate (even on mobile) and there's almost always a discount. Two pairs of quality glasses for less than $100 is unbeatable.

The process of selecting glasses was great. I liked the features from the help videos to the try on feature. The problem is with the site's cookies. I had to go into my browser's advanced settings and clear cookies to make sure the 400 error didn't pop up again before I finished checking out. For people who are unfamiliar with how to clear cookies, this would be a major stumbling block.

I'm hoping the glasses are exactly what I want. If so, I will purchase from this site again.

I have had to speak with customer service reps a couple times regarding orders. Everyone I have spoken to has been pleasant and very helpful. The frames are priced just right. For how inexpensive they are I have been able to purchase multiple pairs. It's also nice because my taste and style changes and evolves so I can swap out and get new glasses sooner than I would be able to if I were purchasing through my eye doctor. Not all of the frames are of the highest quality, but that's to be expected when only paying $15 for a frame. The frames on the site that are a little higher priced reflect in the quality. Overall, I highly recommend this site.
