“Quality products... affordable prices”

Danny F.
8/31/24

Always quick and easy. Great selection. Because of my very unique prescription,I always get a note to call and verify that it is correct. My connection was with Sherwin...he was thorough on his questions and even had me do an upgrade of the lenses... Love you guys...great that a friend told me about your products and service. It used to cost me $750.00-$1,000.00 for a pair of glasses.at a dispensary.not any more.thank U..

“Garbage frames”

Dan L.
10/14/24

What a piece of $#*! supplier and product! Firstly, their product is garbage. I've bought 3 pair of glasses from them and two of the three have broken at the exact same point, simply while removing the glasses from my head. Then when I try to contact them on their own website to (hopefully) resolve it, their own online submission form fails - every time. I've been wearing glasses for over 50 years - I get the concept. In fact, I've never broken a pair of glasses in my entire life, except for 2 of the 3 pair from eyebuydirect. This most recent pair broke after less than 8 months of use, while travelling and forcing me to pay for an emergency repair. I can only assume the 3rd pair will do the same thing. So, if you want a pair of glasses that will last more than 8 months (considering most extended benefits only pay glasses once every 2 years), use anyone but eyebuydirect. Useless.

The frames are perfect. I wish l'd had a better idea of what the colour of the lenses would be. The picture on the monitor looked much more grayish than the lenses turned out to be. Also l was able to adjust the bend on the arms to my satisfaction. But the progressive lens and the overall style are good.

Reason I chose this business:

They had prescription lens available for these frames

Reason I chose this product:

They're necessary and cool.

I had no experience with this company, but was willing to give it a try. WOW, was I pleased! I love the frames, they fit perfectly and more importantly, the lenses were cut properly and I can see very well with them. I was very displeased with my local dispenser as they cut my last lenses twice, and still the progressives weren't in the right spot.

Reason I chose this business:

Thought was far cheaper than my local dispenser.

Reason I chose this product:

Loved the look.

Challenges on site, unable to get picture to load on computer, tried two different browsers, couldn't get it to work on the computer, went to the phone. Kept going back to initial page (kicked me right out) rather than back one page, didn't accept the parameters put in when there were several, went back and put in only one and it seems to work better. Not easy to make it all work, that's for sure.

Reason I chose this business:

Our daughter used this service, it was problem free for her, we had more issues.

Found a pair of glasses I wanted in a medium, but there was no option for a standard mirrored lense, only a more expensive lense by a fair amount. I received the glasses and they'll do, but I definitely would've preferred them the size up.

Reason I chose this business:

One of the only sites I could find with a rainbow coloured frame that would fit my face.

Reason I chose this product:

Because I like them and they were cheap enough for my benefits to cover.

Love the site. Love all my glasses. Sometimes the color is not true to the "shade"'of the color that you think you are ordering. For example, is it red? Or burgandy? What shade of pink? My new prescription was not correct in the glasses I ordered, but the customer service person was excellent and the problem was fixed and new glasses sent to me! GREAT customer service!

They asked about the issue, I scanned and resent my prescription and they sent new glasses. Very good customer service!

Thanks, I am new here so thought I would give y'all a try! Very frustrating! I am a 1st time customer. I sent you my Prescription & the right lens was not right. You re-made them & sent me out the right, corrected pair, along with another pair of the WRONG ones, too! I was thinking the extra pair would be ones with the Corrected right lens, too, but you sent me a 2nd WRONG pair again. Seems like a waste, I received 3 pairs, with just ONE correct pair. A bit disappointing.~~~

Frustrating!!! Although Customer Care was very attentive, I had a hard time reading my script from my eye Doctor & they had me send it in. Then the glasses were made incorrectly on one side. Then, remade again incorrectly PLUS a new pair correctly. Don't know what was going on. Frustrating.

I also spoke to a customer representative last night, and he was really helpful at walking me through the process of ordering just the frames. Thank you I would recommend this service.

Reason I chose this business:

I don’t like shopping. Just save me time website was easy to use and loved that. There was a option to try the frames on my face.

Reason I chose this product:

I’m not sure I understand the question. Why did I buy today versus yesterday? I just wanted to think about things. Or why did I choose the specific products I did? I like the shape of them and the colour and I think they will look good on me. Ultimately, though the price was huge selling feature.

First time buying glasses online. Today is my birthday and thought I would get some stylish glasses for my birthday. I have a schedule that has me work 2 weeks away from home at a time. It took about 2 weeks to get the delivery. Since I was at work in the middle of my 14 day shift, they arrived in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada one week after I arrived home from work. Although I was nervous to order glasses online, I am so happy that I ordered from EYEBUYDIRECT.

Reason I chose this business:

You were kind enough to give me a coupon code to make the price much more reasonable. I am a union carpenter and they only pay for my glasses once every 2 years. Their plan requires me to purchase them from a physical store. This year it was not my year to get glasses through my union bennefits plan.

Reason I chose this product:

I have always wanted aviator type glasses. Many stores don't offer that style. Unfortunately, the birthday special 2 for 1 doesn't apply to the glasses I wanted to order. After speaking with a representative about the glasses I wanted to purchase for my birthday she gave me a coupon code to make my purchase very reasonable.

I bought two pairs of glasses on June 30. When it became clear the other day that they wouldn't deliver on their promise of 10 to 14 business days delivery, I contacted them. Nothing! Later I spoke an agent (be advised they use bots like the Russians) who said he would escalate my concerns. Nothing. No response whatsoever.

Yesterday the response to yet another email about delivery yielded a message telling me to contact Paypal? Yeah, cos Paypal are in the delivery business. Today, no reply. Not to email. Not to the chat bot. So I called. They finally admitted that they had no intention of delivering on their 10 to 14 day promise. Shameful. There are lots of online glasses outfits. Do NOT bother with EyeBuyDirect, Canada or otherwise - but especially if you are Canadian. Try Clearly who actually appear to care about their customers. I have only become a client of Cleary as a result of this experience. EyeBuyDirect are charlatans and repugnant and lie. Perhaps they are a Russian scam. Save your frustration.

Tip for consumers:
DON'T!

Products used:
Nothing. I only hope that they live up to their promise of finally refunding my money... I won't hold my breath you can be sure.
