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.

I spent 1 hour 30 + minutes on the site: 10 minutes looking and the rest was spent either checking out or waiting for someone to help me on chat or on the phone.

NO FUN!

I ordered the glasses for my daughter and shipped them to her address. Big issue with the site's checkout process? Not a consumer problem and shouldn't be an issue for us to wade through for over an hour. Customer service person number one was no help at all... luckily, customer service person number two helped.

Again, NO FUN!

I will never buy retail again! I've bought 4 pair of quality eyeglasses for 1/2 the price I paid at a nationally known retail eyeglass company that is housed in almost every major mall in the country

Love the customer-focused eyeglass services EYEBUYDIRECT does for me. Their frames are all very stylish, their technology with placing a photo of yourself with the glasses you are looking at is impressive, and their overall website is clean and easy to navigate.

I purchased a pair of glasses in early Dec. The frame broke in mid Feb. I emailed customer service twice and got no response. Then my review of the frames was deleted. With so many other store online to buy glasses I wont purchase from here again.

Love the company already and I've just ordered my very first pair. The process was easy and straight forward, the diversity and uniqueness of frame styles, and the way the website itself is a very friendly user interface.

No contact
March 8, 2018

Good product but lousy communication.
Chat never works.
Chat says leave at least 100 characters.
Sometimes you do not need that much...

I love getting my glasses here, but it is incredibly annoying for the page to keep reloading and asking me for an email address to subscribe.

Lots of Choices
March 8, 2018

I had too many choices... a good thing. I just ordered them so haven't received them yet. So I'm only reviewing the experience of ordering them - which was fun. And quite inexpensive! Hopefully I receive them soon so I can submit a review of shipping and quality of the glasses.

Free shipping
March 8, 2018

There was an ad that says free shipping on your first order on top of that 15percent discount. But they still charged me for the shipping fees though. Kindly disable that ad.

My prescription was spot on. The glasses are light, yet sturdy. And the shipping, once shipped, was really fast!

Very happy in every way. The frames I chose (after one false start when a different frame broke in 2 places the day after I received it) have been perfect: well-made, strong, stylish. Only problem compared to the competition is they are SLOW! Worth waiting for though.
