Due to work related risks I needed a second pair of prescription glasses this is due to legal issues of driving. If my glasses are broken at work, I cannot legally drive safely. I scouted SelectSpecs and found a pair with lenses made of compacted material which will not shatter easily. After uploading my prescription and picked my chosen frames I paid a decent ( as in not costly) price. My glasses went in for processing and I received them 9-10 days later. SelectSpecs are efficient, reliable and always affordable.
This is the worse company I have ever dealt with, their customer support is dreadful. After numerous complaints I eventually got a reply from customer service apologising and promising it will be dealt with. My glasses are ready 'apparently' but have been in their quality control department for 10 DAYS! I have been waiting for over a month for an order that they day will be with you within 7-10 days.
Great fast service. Website is really easy to use. Can't believe the savings I made after ordering the same glasses I would have bought on the high street for more than half the price
Super specs excellent communication. I would recommend you to family and friends.The choice was so extensive it was difficult to choose just one pair.
Good value, good frames, Conor made the two pairs of Specs. Exactly as i wanted.
Would recommend to anyone, will certainly buy again.
Slight delay at the moment, but Covid is slowing everything!
Avoid – order was delayed, anti-glare coating is very poor quality and there is no substitute for trying on frames at an Opticians. Summary: I purchased my 1st ever pair of glasses from SelectSpecs and had a very simple reading glasses prescription, I really should have stuck with Boots Optician who were great, advised and helped me pick the right frames (Penguin). Being penny wise, I then choose the same pair form SelectSpecs – this was my 1st mistake. It took over a month for my glasses to arrive where Boots guaranteed delivery to store within 7 working days – select Specs gave the reason of Designer Frames taking longer despite their website suggesting 10 days. The Anti-Glare coating isn't good quality and after complaining, I was offered a discount for a second pair from Select Specs' 'Sliver' range. I selected and paid (£30) for a spare pair which i didn't really need despite being a very poor selection, only to be delayed again and then required to pay a further £55 as the cost of the simple prescription lenses had increased since the time (3 weeks & their delay) of my 'in process' order. This firm is really unprofessional, unreliable and untrustworthy. I still await a refund!
Really happy with the service I receive from select specs never had a problem with any of their products and a quick delivery service would highly recommend them.
Have used these people three times now twice for my father and once for me, great service great product and support were brilliant with my enquiry, would highly recommend them to anyone.
Ordered a pair of glasses with no fuss-easy prescription input. No hidden charges. The glasses arrived about 8 days later and where just as described. Have ordered another pair as I was so pleased
High value products, fast delivery and personalised customer service. Never had a problem in the years I've used SelectSpecs. Highly recommended vendor.
Products used:
Three pairs of spectacles.
Selsctepescs products are high quality and very good value and their customer service is excellent. I've been using them for years now and have never been disappointed. Thoroughly recommend.
I bought two pairs of glasses,one pair were £6 and I splashed out on a second pair for £8, I can't believe the quality of the glasses for the price, excellent,just like on the advert on TV,I will be ordering more glasses from selectspecs
Horrendous customer service. I placed an order on the 29th July to be told 2 days later that the item was discontinued and asked to choose a substitute - which I did. 6 days later I received another email informing that the item I chose had been on sale and it was no longer on sale so 'sorry' choose something else. So 9 since I had placed my order and nothing had been done - seeing that I am flying out in a weeks time and I will need glasses to drive I am not just furious and upset, but massively inconvenienced and will incurr massive additional expenditure due to SelectSpecs incompetence. Their 'Customer Care' should be renamed to "Customer dont give a £$$% without care" - in the meantime they are still holding to my money. I told them that I would be raising a complaint to the Consumer Ombudsman and review them according to the service received - to which their response was "yes sure, go ahead".
From previous purchases, their glasses are cheap, horribly made and you will need at least 3 pairs to see the year out - they are cheap however, whenever they do decide to send them out and not cancel your order. So, cheap, just like their customer service and quality provided.
Tip for consumers:
Avoid like the plague!
These glasses were so reasonable and the service was excellent they are defo the best glasses I've ever had and will certainly be buying from them again
Very happy with my spectacles, first order.
The fit and the lenses are amazing.
Elite varifocal and thin lenses. £100 +£15 for the frame.

No hesitation exchange for incorrect lenses purchased by me. Will always be my first choice for new spectacles.
Very happy with my new glasses lenses correct arrived before due date and cost me less money than the opticians I have been use
Have had a couple of pairs in the past so reordered yet another pair and again i am very happy with them so will probably be back for more
I am extremely happy with my glasses from select specs, fantastic value for money, I will have no hesitation in using this company again.
Bought my boy some a spare set of specs for his car, and he loves them. Happy and good service with the order.
Excellent service and product. Two pairs of glasses ordered and delivered within a week or so. Very happy with my new specs! Thanks.

Hi John
I have found your order for the Penguin glasses placed on the 21st November, this was for a non-stocked designer frame and as advised on our website this can take up to 28 days to arrive. This frame arrived with us on the 6th December and your order was completed and dispatched on the 9th December. This was completed in line with our stated timescales for this type of order. With regards to delivery, it does appear that Yodel delayed delivery until the 18th. Apologies for this.
With regards to the anti-glare coating, unfortunately we do not see any complaints with regards to this. The complaint you made was regarding the order timescales. If you have a specific issue with the coating, please alert our customer services team. We do not believe the provided coatings are of poor quality as these are regularly checked for QA purposes.
With regards to the recent order, as advised by our customer services team, a prescription was not entered during the order so therefore the price quoted was only an estimate and is subject to change upon receipt of your prescription. Upon processing your prescription for this rimless frame, there was an additional charge due for the lenses. Please do note that the frames and lenses selected for this order were different to your previous order so the products cannot be compared.
With regards to the cancellation, this is being processed for you as per your request on the 25th January. You will receive the refund shortly.
Regards
SelectSpecs
