Thank you for posting your Zenni review of the order for two pairs of single-vision eyeglasses you placed with us, one of them a pair of single-vision glasses with pure polycarbonate lenses, and the other one a pair of single-vision polarized gray sunglasses with an indigo blue mirror finish on the lenses. We were pleased to read that you are satisfied with the glasses, but since you mentioned that you received them in 22 days, we looked up your order, o4496545188, and we saw that you placed it on February 1,2022. The U.S. Postal Service website advises that the glasses were delivered to you on February 23,2022, 22 days after you placed the order, just as you stated. Therefore, since you placed this order with Standard shipping, for $4.95, which comes with a 14-21-day delivery-time promise, insofar as the glasses were delivered to you one day past the 21st day, we are going to ask our lab to refund the $4.95 Standard shipping fee to the credit card you used to pay for the order. You should receive an email from our lab later tonight or tomorrow, confirming this $4.95 credit card refund with a transaction number. We thank you again for mentioning the delivery time, which gave us an opportunity to refund the shipping fee, and for your assessment of the eyeglasses, with which we were happy to know that you are satisfied.

First time & there will be more!
March 22, 2022

It's my first time buying prescribed glasses on Zenni. My item arrived faster than I thought. Because I also ordered another pair from WhereLight (just to try different shops). Comparing Zenni with the local optic store from my optometrist and WhereLight, the local optic store is way too expensive for me, and WhereLight's delivery time was longer (it took 7+ days longer). Quality wise, Zenni's glasses are very good in quality, I'm a happy customer, will likely shop at Zenni again next time!

As Expected Quality. FAST shipping
March 22, 2022

I am very pleased with the glasses I ordered. The frame quality was what I expected for a $6 pair of prescription glasses. I am thankful for a low cost option for my son who looses his glasses all the time. The delivery was really fast. I will definitely be ordering again.

Thank you for posting your Zenni review of the first two orders for eyeglasses you placed with us. We were sorry to learn that although you had intended to order two pairs of standard progressive eyeglasses on your first order, o4495899156, you inadvertently ordered one pair as single-vision distance eyeglasses. Consequently, we apologize for any disappointment you experienced when you received these eyeglasses. You returned these glasses to us for a 100 percent refund of their price in the form of store credit to your Zenni account, and you used the store credit toward the next pair of standard progressive eyeglasses you ordered, in order o4549358626. We are happy to know that you are pleased with these eyeglasses, and we thank you again for taking the time to share your heartening comments. Ms. Biddulph, we want you to know that at Zenni, we believe that it is a privilege to serve your eyeglasses needs, and we hope to do so for many years to come.
