Nice try, not even close
December 3, 2023
Updated review

I was excited to get the second batch of 2 glasses I ordered, but when I took them out of the case, they were obliviously not my prescription. The lenses were much too thick, single vision, and nowhere near my prescription, so obviously some orders were mixed up. I arranged to return them within an hour, an easy process, but still very disappointed. I had to take a selfie to see how they looked because I couldn't see myself in a mirror. My first two pair were no problem, so they had the right numbers. We'll see how the reorder goes.

Avoid! Customer service isn't bad, it doesn't exist. No online help, can't call and they won't return emails. Use FramesDirect or something.

Great company.
November 23, 2023

Glassesusa.com is a very good company. I would recommend it highly. Where I live we don't get mail delivered to our home address, we have to go to the Post office. Even though glasses usa.com only had my physical address, I received my glasses at the post office.(Awesome). The glasses are really good quality. They come with a case and a cleaning cloth. I will definitely recommend this company to anyone looking for glasses.

Worst customer service ever...
November 21, 2023
Updated review

I had ordered glasses (two separate orders) from this company prior and somehow, they managed to screw up one of my orders and this was after sending them the prescriptions twice as they requested! After receiving one order, I cancelled the order eventually after they couldn't get it right. Had to go back to them again, (unfortunately), because I lost the pair I got from them. I didn't want to, but had NO choice because they had the prescription and told them EXACTLY that I needed another pair identical to the pair I had ordered. I had to hunt the original order number and give it to them and ordered the pair.
I placed the order and asked (and paid) for the order to be expedited. This was on Mon 11/13 and checked status on the order seeing it had gone into production on Tues 11/14. I then checked back at the end of the week to check status on order and was told by a chat agent that they had NO update on the order. That the order would be escalated to the order dept to check status and that I would be notified of status... never heard from anyone on this, so I contacted them again today (a week later) and STILL no status on the order with them giving me the same response! To me, it seems like "the left hand doesn't know what the right hand is doing" with this company! I would NOT recommend them to anyone!

Worst service ever!
October 4, 2023
Previous review

Been trying to get a renewed prescription filled for almost a month and it seems " the left hand doesn't know what the right hand is doing"! I have submitted my replacement prescriptions at least 3 times and every time I reach back to them for status on my so-called order, it's like starting over again in their chat box as if they don't know what is going on... very frustrating... next time, and if there is a next time, I will order the glasses locally where I know I won't have this issue... they cost a little more, but believe me, it will be well worth than having to deal with a mail order company!

Poor fitting frames
November 27, 2023

I bought Oakley prescription glasses and gave them the frame size. The lenses are perfect but the frames are not even close and the details of the frame size are not recorded on the order. Very disappointed as I have many Oakley sunglasses that I bought off the shelf that fit fine.

Ordered new glasses, sent wrong glasses. Returned for refund. Promised right order. Now 30 days and never came. Want another 2 weeks. Can't talk to anyone. Hours dead end phone, promised sms links never sent. Chat drops you while typing. Live help is no help just empty promises & delay tactics. Refunds take another 10-14 days.

I was sent tracking for my order and all tracking stopped. You can't talk to a person it's automated. No one gets back to you. They take your money though. I have recommended to family members because ordering was so easy. I told everyone not to bother. The only reason they got 1 star is ordering was east.

My overall experience with this company has been unsatisfactory. The customer service, including the live chat, and website functionality fell short of expectations. The most recent issue with an incorrect order of prescription Prada sunglasses, after a significant wait, only added to the disappointment. I would not patronize this business again and would advise others to seek alternative providers.

It is impossible to get a response over assistance from a live person. Their email box responds as not monitored, and their phone system does not allow an option to talk to a representative.
I had an urgent need and cannot get a hold of anybody. The service lovers are unacceptable given the amount of money you spend for prescription glasses.

Lot's of choices and easy to use.
November 9, 2023

I have purchased glasses before. Glasses USA site provides many good choices and is fairly easy to use. However, I did have some difficulty figuring out how to use my previously uploaded photo. At one point I accidentally clicked on a models photo and for the longest time I could not get my photo back. Once I got it back, it was easy to look at all the choices and make my decision and fill my order. One thing I would do different given the choice would be shipping. The standard shipping used Easy Post and it took too many days to get to me. My other glasses were broken and I was anxious to get the new pair and next time I would pay more for expedited shipping.

I had progressive lenses made and they were incorrect. I tried to take a little longer to adjust to the new glasses because I was also trying contact lenses with my eye doctor. Now, it is past their refund/return date and there is NO way to reach someone in person. Either on the phone or in chat. It is all created to keep them making money and keep the unsatisfied customers away from them. I am out over $300 and now must go elsewhere to get the right prescription. The current one was so bad that I almost passed out at work, and have strained my eyes so badly I need a new prescription. Thanks for nothing!
