I normally never write reviews about companies, but I was so disgusted by this company that I had to sign up and write a review to warn others. I don't know how this website/company is being recommended by reliable websites. They sent me the correct frame, but the wrong size. Having them send you the return label ("free returns") was hell, but once I contacted my credit card company and told them that I would launch a dispute against them, return label was then sent in no time. Funny, isn't it? Yes, that's how they are.

Now, I'm waiting for the FULL refund. I have EVERYTHING documented, and the last time I contacted my credit card, they recommended me to wait a few more days before launching the dispute and recovering my payment. Can't wait! NEVER order from them!

Horrible returns
June 24, 2019

Unable to get refund from company! Very frustrated so taking to social media so that others may not see same fate. Initially quoted "Policy" of 30 day for return now beyond 30 days and now no-one seems to know where refund is because billing department has to process. Wish would have researched comments where not everything was right and could have anticipated what happens if a problem and went to another supplier.

HORRIBLE
June 24, 2019

I have been waiting for my glasses to come in the mail for a month now. I ordered two pairs, but only received one and upon receiving them, the delivery on my order was marked complete, when clearly it's not. I've called to complain 3 times, but no one seems to know where my glasses are. They keep saying they'll be in contact, but no one is emailing me or updating me on anything. This company is starting to make me think they're scamming me.

AVOID AT ALL COSTS
June 19, 2019

Zero stars. Long story short: they sent me a broken pair, told me to order another, fought with me about refunds so I sent BOTH back, and now I have to file a dispute with my credit card company because it's been 30 days without a refund and they just keep saying they're "trying". I've spent 3 months trying to fix their mistakes...
Worst company, horrific customer service, completely unethical business practices. DO NOT shop here. Their employees should be ashamed of themselves for abusing customers this way. I want my $200+ and hours of frustration back.

My fiancee and I ordered one pair of glasses for me and one pair for him. They had a BOGO deal going on, so we thought it was perfect. Mine (the free pair) came in about the time frame they said on June 10th and they are great. That is the only reason they get 2 stars instead of 1. My fiancee's have STILL not arrived (we paid for EXPEDITED shipping, which I hope they will refund) and since they gave one tracking number for two separate packages, there is no way for us to know if his were ever even sent out! He has called them twice and we have gotten the same generic response as some of the other reviewers here. They are "forwarding to the correct department." We would like an answer, since this one pair was close to $300 and he needs them desperately.

NEVER do an exchange with Glassusa. It will void your refund and then if those glasses do not fit you cannot get your money back. I have not been able to fit any of their glasses and because I exchanged to try another pair they are not refunding me my money. Now I will have a store credit that I will never use. I won't be doing business with them in the future. Exchanges alone take nearly a month and the customer service has given me the run around about a refund for nearly 2 months now. Beware ordering glasses from them. Always go a return and a separate order.

I ordered two pair of prescription glasses, one normal eyewear one for work specifically for computers. Once I received both pair I realized they made both pair the same Rx. I sent them back with the correct Rx to be used. After a month still no glasses, when I inquired I was told that the frames I ordered were no longer in stock and I had to choose another frame. Every frame I chose was suddenly not in stock either. After another month of back and forth I finally agreed on a frame. After two weeks I received an email telling me that the frame I chose could not be used for traditional bi-focals but for an addition $80 they would upgrade me to progressive bifocals. I said just for the poor customer service I've received and time wasted they should upgrade for no charge or honor the money back guarantee. That was a week ago and no response. THIS IS GOING ON THREE MONTHS AND I NEED THESE GLASSES FOR WORK!

A month after placing an order, my glasses are still not in production. No one can tell me why. The order was 'expedited' after three weeks, yet nothing has changed. Will never use this company again. Returning to brick and mortar stores. More expensive but at least they deliver what they promise. And if not, it's easy to remedy.

Buyer beware
June 13, 2019

Ordered 2 pairs of glasses. Started my order in April and returned first pair of glasses the day I received them. The second pair I cancelled the order after 2 weeks passed bc I still hadn't received my order. I still don't have a refund and it is now almost mid-June. Have reached out to customer service and received vague info about my refund. I will never ever do business with them again.

DO NOT BUY
June 12, 2019

DO NOT BUY FROM THIS ESTABLISHMENT. I asked a question to their service about additional UV protection on the glasses, they told me I needed to order the glasses first and then would have an option to upgrade. I realized this was not the correct procedure and I cancelled the order within a half hour of placing the order. It has been a month and I have followed up numerous times and have received no information. This place has horrible business practice and seems to be a total scam.

1 is being generous
June 12, 2019

1 is being generous! Did the BOGO special with premium pair and get a basic pair free. Spent over $300 on the premium pair. I got the free basic pair within a week and it's been 2 months and I still haven't received the pair that I paid for. Called customer service, emailed them and always the same response "We'll get with production for a tracking number and if we need more information we'll let you know." I requested a supervisor and they said none are available. They won't even let me return the basic pair for a refund. Starting to think this is a scam and they don't actually have the premium glasses they advertise.

Previous review

I ordered 6 pairs of sunglasses. One pair was received (Mont Blancs) on 16 May. The order is marked as "complete" on the website. When inquiring about the other 5- at first they said the Mont Blancs are sent from a separate facility, so the rest will come later. Every time I called, the company said they will send an email to the delivery department to find out what happened. No follow up from there. The same scenario carried out several times. I even resorted to chat so I can screen shot the conversations. No follow up or responsibility. We received a text on 25 May that our order is coming. Nothing arrived, and now the company is saying everything was delivered with the first delivery. I need someone to resolve my issue.

Good Service but Kinda Slow
June 11, 2019

GlassesUSA does what it says on the package,
If you need glasses online, they're reliable and good quality. The lifetime warranty is cheap and definitely worth it.

But their customer service is not streamlined and you have to remind them if you have a warranty.

Lifetime warranties do not show up on any dashboard and there's basically no account management. Contact must be done through a submission form. Oh, and shipping is hella slow.

Dear Rebecca,

All orders come with our 14 Day 'no questions asked' return policy. If you are not satisfied with your glasses, simply return them for a refund, store credit or an exchange.

In the unlikely event that your frame or lenses break after the initial 14 days following delivery and within one year of your purchase, we will gladly provide you with a store credit towards another pair of eyeglasses under our 365 Day Manufacturer's Warranty.

In addition, we do offer 20/20 Enhanced Coverage to ensure that your glasses are covered, whether you need a repair or replacement or in case of a change in prescription.

Thanks for choosing GlassesUSA.com.

Not a proper refund
June 11, 2019

I ordered glasses and returned them right away because they did not fit. It was weeks until I received a refund and when I did, it wasn't a full refund. A coupon was applied to the refund, making it less than the amount I actually spent.

Dear Asher,
