Love the ease and dependability!
March 19, 2022

I've bought several pairs of glasses from Zenni, all well done with one exception (return process was easy). I love the many choices, the ability to up load a picture of me and see how the frames will look, the ease of ordering. The site has clear instructions about how to enter one's prescription, even my complicated progressive prescription. And the price! Love Zenni!

So easy
March 19, 2022

I love the ease of ordering from Zenni. There is a larger selection to choose from and I've always been satisfied. I've ordered from Zenni many times for many people over there past 10 years.

Thank you for posting your Zenni review of the first order for eyeglasses you placed with us. We were sorry to read that you could not see well with these single-vision distance eyeglasses, and we apologize for any dissatisfaction you experienced as a result. We see no previous order you placed with us, so we regret that we cannot compare the prescription and pupillary distance (PD) you used on this order with those on another order that contained glasses with which you could see well. You posted your review on the last day of the order’s 30-day warranty period, which starts the day the glasses are delivered. Therefore, you may return these eyeglasses to us for one of our two refund options – either a 100 percent refund of the price of the glasses in the form of store credit to your Zenni account or a 50 percent refund to the credit card you used to pay for the order. If you would like to use the store credit toward the payment of a new pair of eyeglasses with the correct prescription and PD, we recommend calling the office of the eye doctor who provided the prescription and ask them for the PD. If it is not 28 millimeters (right eye, OD) and 30 mm (left eye, OS), please use the PD measurement provided by your eye doctor when you reorder, and please ensure that you entered the prescription exactly the way your eye doctor provided it. If the eye doctor’s office declines to provide your PD, please use the PD ruler that was enclosed with the glasses to remeasure your PD, or better still, please have a friend or family member measure it based on these instructions, found at the middle of the bottom of every page of our website: the infographic How to Measure Your Pupillary Distance, https://www.zennioptical.com/measuring-pd-infographic, and the how-to video of the same name: https://www.zennioptical.com/c/how-to#howto-measure-pd. We hope that this information is helpful. However, if your eye doctor’s office confirms that the PD and prescription you entered were correct, you may return the eyeglasses for an inspection. If the PD and perhaps the prescription were entered incorrectly, the return option would be the two refund options of which we advised. If you would like to pursue returning these eyeglasses to us for an inspection, if your eye doctor confirms that the prescription and PD you entered were correct, or for one of the two refund options, we invite you to telephone Zenni Customer Service, at 1-800-211-2105, and anyone who answers will be eager to assist you with emailed instructions to return the glasses for the inspection or for the refund option you select. We will also email you a prepaid mailing label to use for return postage. If the wait to speak with a customer service representative is lengthy, you may have an online chat with us by clicking the button labeled Support, at the lower right-hand corner of every Zenni page. You may also email us, at [email protected], and if you choose this communication method, please put your order number, o4507234818, in the subject line of the email, and in the body of the email please advise of the refund option you prefer or whether you would like emailed instructions to return the glasses for an inspection. We will email you the instructions to return the glasses to us for the inspection or for the refund option you select, and we will also email you the prepaid mailing label. We very much hope to hear back from you, so that we may resolve this matter to your satisfaction.

Better Than Eyemart
March 19, 2022

Zenni offers a wide variety of frames and styles of glasses, so I'm always able to find what I'm looking for. I wear bifocals and Zenni gets the "line" just right. I usually receive my glasses within a week to 10 days…which is pretty good these days. I believe my latest purchase was my fourth pair.

It was a bit slow for processing and shipping. I won't order from them again. They are inexpensive, but I'll go with someone else next time.

When I got my glasses I could not see with them. I took them to the optical shop at my eye doctor's office and they checked them out. 1) the lenses were not measured correctly and were 4 mm off center 2) they did not have the progressive bifocal in them that I had paid extra for. And then when using the provides cloth to clean them, the frame broke! I had not even had them in my possession for a week and had not even been able to wear them.

Verdict Is Still Out

I love the style of glasses but the prescription seems to be off a little. I am trying to adjust but keep going back to my old glasses.

Thank you for posting your Zenni review of the first order for eyeglasses you placed with us, two pairs of standard progressive eyeglasses with our Blokz™ blue-light-blocking feature, one of them a pair of gray sunglasses. We were happy to read that you like the styles of the frames you selected – full-rim, square, acetate, spring-hinged, ivory tortoiseshell frame 4426135, with a frame width of 132 millimeters – and full-rim, round, acetate, red Spree frame 4432918, from the Timo × Zenni Collection, with tortoiseshell temple arms and a frame width of 137 mm (these are the progressive sunglasses). However, we were sorry to learn that the prescription seems to be off, and we apologize for any dissatisfaction you experienced as a result. We see no previous orders placed by you, so we regret that we cannot compare the prescription and pupillary distance (PD) you used on this order with those items entered on a previous order. However, this order is within its 30-day warranty period, which starts the day the glasses are delivered. Therefore, we invite you to telephone Zenni Customer Service, at 1-800-211-2105, and anyone who answers will be eager to assist you. Please have a copy of the prescription you used to place the order handy, because the customer service representative will ask you to read the prescription to them to confirm that it was entered correctly. If the PD is not on the prescription, please be prepared to advise how it was obtained – self-measurement, friend or family member measurement, or eye doctor measurement. If you confirm that you entered the prescription and PD correctly, we can invite you to return the glasses for an inspection. We will email you the instructions to return the glasses for the inspection, and we will also email you a prepaid mailing label to use for return postage. If our inspection finds that we made the glasses incorrectly, we can remake them for you for free. But if we receive and inspect the glasses, and our inspection finds them to be correct, we can return the glasses to you or issue one of our two refund options – either a 100 percent refund of the price of the glasses in the form of store credit to your Zenni account or a 50 percent refund to the credit card you used to pay for the order. In addition, if you read the prescription to us, and it turns out that something was entered incorrectly on the order, we can offer you one of these two refund options upon the return of the glasses. If the wait to speak with a customer service representative is lengthy, you may have an online chat with us by clicking the button labeled Support, at the lower right-hand corner of every Zenni page. You may also email us, at [email protected], and if you choose this communication method, please put your order number, o4546976778, in the subject line of the email, and in the body of the email please attach a copy of the prescription. If the PD is not on the prescription, please advise how it was obtained. If the prescription matches what you entered, we will email you the instructions to return the glasses for an inspection and we will also email you the prepaid mailing label. If the prescription does not match what you entered, we will email you to ask if you would like to receive the 100 percent refund in the form of store credit to your Zenni account or the 50 percent refund to the credit card you used to pay for the order. We will email you the instructions to return the glasses for the refund option you select, as well as the prepaid mailing label to use for return postage. We very much hope to hear back from you, so that we may resolve this matter to your satisfaction.
