I have ordered approximately 10 or more pair of glasses from Zenni in the past 2 years. They do not disappoint! Good quality and fantastic prices! I intend to remain a Zenni customer!

Slow delivery
November 26, 2021

I paid for express shipping and did not receive my glasses any quicker than regular shipping. Cost me $18 for a shipping speed that I did not receive.

Thank you for posting this Zenni review.
We are sorry to learn that we did not meet the delivery expectation for Express shipping, which promises delivery within 8-12 days. We have confirmed by checking the order tracking history on the carrier’s website that your order was delivered on October 13th, which was 16 days after it was submitted. Consequently, we will be refunding the Express shipping fee to the credit card that was used to pay for the order, and we will email you the refund confirmation number within 48 hours. We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience the delivery delay may have caused.
We hope that you are enjoying your new glasses. We appreciate your business, and we hope that the delivery delay you experienced with this order, which is not a typical occurrence at Zenni, does not preclude you from ordering from us in the future.

Love these!
October 27, 2021

I was unsure about how to correctly fill out the prescription, as I needed bifocals. A customer service representative helped me, and it wasn't long before I had my new glasses. I had mostly been using OTC readers, and it was so amazing to get this prescription and really see things clearly! I love my glasses!

Progressives
October 28, 2021

I got my first pair of Zenni and the optometrist I used got my PD wrong. After that, I got a pair locally ( for $250 more, would have been almost $700 without insurance) and they got badly scratched within a month even though they had all upgrades. They were so bad I had to wear the zennis. The zennis to this day are still unmarked even though I treat them the same as the other ones. Just got my second pair of zennis today and they're perfect. I have progressives at +3.25 with +2.00 for reading so they're strong, but I have no problem. Thanks Zenni!

I had a great experience with Zenni! Wasn't sure what to expect since I was a first time buyer, but the glasses I received are just like those you'd spend 5 or 6 times the amount on from your eye doctor! I love mine and will buy again!
