NO EXPLANATION FOR GLASSES BREAKING ON MY HEAD
Ordered reading glasses and my lenses were not equalled out like majority offer. They never even asked. I received my glasses after a long wait. They looked nice. After approx 3-4 times being used, the frames cracked while on my head. I sent pictures and had to send them back and wait for another pair which was supposed to be within 7 days but wasnt, so couldnt read bills or documents. I finally received another pair and after the 3 time I wore them the same thing happened cracked while wearing them, but only 1 side this time. No warning in description of frames that only suitable for certain lenses.
I made contact again and said would equaling the lenses out and making them thinner help. I also said a refund otherwise as I didnt want them again as is. Have photos I can share.
They just offered me a refund of less than I paid and no explanation or apologies. No good will gesture to thin the lenses or even at a reduced cost. They explained nothing both times. Have emails willing to share if necessary.
I would not recommend as you get no explanation. Just refund being processed for less money than charged.

I had measles as a child and that left me with only peripheral vision in my right eye. This,. Now combined with the early stages of cataracts, has made me feel increasingly vulnerable and contributed to significant fusiness about the glasses I wear. Add to this the fact that I could be described as "price sensitive" so many high street and/or on-line opticians struggle to fully address my concerns.

SelectSpecs have done a really good job for me and always at a very reasonable cost - often glazing prestigious frames bought for a bit of a song after haunting ebay. I have opted for their top of the range varifocals, sometimes with added "Polaroid" or "Transtions" coatings. This has worked well for me because we spend a lot of time in France, including sailing. They do very well with carefully marked lenses and the one ovvasion they hot the lenes wrong, they pushed through the free replacement as s priority.

In my view, despite not being the best value currently for "Transitions X" lenses, they deserve their hard won success in a highly competetive developing market - quality at keen prices will always win out.

Well good specs the same if not better than hight st shops at a fraction ov the cost quick speedy guaranteed deliveryo

Select specs were fantastic great value for money and very quick delivery. I would reccomend them for anyone wearing glasses

Super value. Great quality. Fantastic service. Excellent. Will definitely be ordering again. Don't think I will be using high street opticians again

This is my second pair of glasses. It took a couple of days to get used to them because of my eye change but so happy with them

As always Select Specs provided a great service, Fabulous Frames and great value. I always use their service. Happy customer.

I just my first order last few months and all I can say they are very dedicated and excellent in their work and service... really recommended

Delighted with this order... Stylish yet amazing value... Perfect for reading will definitely order again..

Bought sight unseen. Sent prescription, selected glasses. Rapid delivery. 100% satisfied. Recommend highly.

Excellent products at a great price. Easy site to use, kept informed all the way and prompt delivery.

The spectacles I bought are excellent value, being stylish (in my opinion) comfortable and accurately prescribed

First time customer, ordered the £6 prescription glasses, top quality, very stylish, perfect fit, and really fast service
Highly recommended

Great range of glasses and very well priced. Outstanding customer service, they even rang me to check some details.

UPDATE: The latest delivery was supposed to arrive today 24th December, I waited the whole day as it gave me a slot in between 2 hours. And guess what? The delivery guy cancelled my slot by saying they couldn't find the address. I AM BEYOND FRUSTRATED WITH SELECTSPECS and THEIR TERRIBLE PARTNER YODEL.
Please DO NOT buy from this terrible terrible company people and save your mental health and time and energy...

I hate leaving negative reviews, but I had to come and write this one.

It's been 3 weeks since I ordered my prescription glasses.

First time, the parcel got lost by their most terrible delivery partner, Yodel. Then after waiting for 2 weeks seeing the same status on Yodel's website, I called 3 times Yodel and then found out that the parcel is probably lost. Then I had to call SelectSpecs and explain the situation. They said they will send a new pair. It's been 1 week, I haven't got even a tracking number. I asked them to send it before Christmas and they said it should arrive before Christmas. I have no hopes, though.

I would highly tell you to DO YOURSELF A FAVOR and spend a little bit more money and go with a better glasses company.

UPDATE 2: I received an email from SelectSpecs that they sent my order today... and guess what, it's again by YODEL. On my continuous requests for not sending the order by YODEL, they didn't care at all... That shows how much they value their customers...

Really pleased with my specs + reading sunglasses. Excellent value + quality. Will not be buying my specs from anywhere else. Ordering is so easy.

Good quality and plenty of choices of style and colour. Easy to submit information from your private eye test prescription,

Where do I even start. I ordered a pair of Maui Jim Ohai prescription sunglasses on Feb 5th 2022. I emailed them a month later and they admitted they forgot my order and didn't even start yet. They live the word sorry(which means nothing to them) then they told me I would get reimbursed for shipping and a portion of the glasses. Haven't seen that yet. Todays date is March 5th 2022. I was understanding at first till I heard one excuse after another and what annoyed me the most is I would write an email and would be lucky to hear back in a week. Average time to reply is 5-8 days. And they live to throw you options of free glasses which I didn't need instead putting the money towards the free glasses to the discount of my sunglasses. At no point in the annoying deal have I asked anything from them besides the product I ordered. They just kept offering but did nothing to the current order. My ordered failed quality control in April and they had to start over but hey they didn't reach out to me I had to email them
First to figure out what was going on. So be prepared to be a baby sitter cause they won't initiate conversation nor communication with you. But they will say sorry 100 times. I now finally got my pair of glasses on March 5 2022. And they send me matte black prescription lenses with non prescription Hawaiian lava lenses. What good is that gonna do me? On top of that they sent the lava lenses not attached to the frames. With no instructions or tools to do the swap. So you have been warned they don't care about you or your time and needs. Your just an order. Communication sucks. How they handle things sucks and $400 glasses can come in pieces with no instructions. I guess I understand why they are downsizing and closed the USA branch and closed Canadas branch. I wouldn't anyone doing business with anyone who doesn't put their customers first. I have email after email to prove my statement. What a headache and nightmare. I wish I could put up photos on how things were sent and show you some emails.
