“Prescription glasses with reinforced frames.”

Craig D.
6/25/24

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.

“Glasses STILL not received.”

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.

Verified purchase

Placed an order for 5 different spectacles for the family. Delays in shipping and issues with customer services to give clarity on European shipping. Finally the order arrived after some weeks. They were of average quality spectacles, 4 were reading ones and were OK except the screws keep loosening weekly and this is annoying for my wife and daughter.
However the Main pair for driving with Green Transitions lenses were good at the start, within 3 months of use the dark external coating on the frames started to ripple on the arms around the ears. Making it uncomfortable to wear.
After emailing them when in the UK for easter for 2 weeks, they replied back late and I had left the UK to go back home. This was at the time a simple resolution to send me replacement arms and I can fit them and send back the faulty ones. NO that was too simple and I had to return the complete frames back for full inspection.
Many emails later the "Jobsworth" technicians refused to understand simple logic and common sense of it.

I could not do without them and have had to live with the glasses which have become worse by the month. Now I can see signs of the coating coming off the front face of the frames.
Soon enough they will look really ugly and will become like the sides.
There is No option other than to send the complete frames back. To sustain the extra cost and the period of being without my driving glasses. What they will do in the end is anyones guess.

Online they offer a great many options and with having 5 different frames from them, They are worse than the Online Chinese websites. Which I have used before and I can say none of their frames were so poor in quality.
Only because of the green Transitions lenses I chose this company.

In future I will stay away from them. I can see many people have had good experiences and I don't believe they care when an issue happens to individuals.

Be cautious is allI can say..

Tip for consumers:
Be very cautious..

My experience:

I order spectacles, which arrive with a faulty / poorly constructed frame. The arms of the frame 'wobble', which causes major issues as I suffer from Meniere's Disease, so any disturbance in vision means rotational vertigo and motion sickness.

SelectSpecs make me jump through hoops to get a refund.
They demand I send photos of the glasses, even though I tell them that a photo will not show the issue (that arms of frame are unsecure and wobbling).

They will not post me a hard copy of their Returns form when I ask them to because I have no facility to print an emailed one. They tell me to write down/copy the lengthy form 'word for word' instead!
They will not send me new glasses until I return the faulty ones, so I am without any glasses now.

Losing trust in them, I say I will return via recorded/ signed for delivery. They have already told me in writing that I should not pay for return postage for a faulty item, so I expect the return postage cost to be refunded. I should not be left out of pocket because of their faulty product.

Eventually, they receive the returned spectacles (I have confirmation of receipt from Post Office), but deny that they have received the lanyard which was placed in the same parcel and will not refund me for that.

They now refuse to refund me for the return postage costs also.

I have asked them to rectify this, referring to their email in which they said clearly that I would not have to pay return postage costs.
They still refuse to pay.

I have asked them 3 times to give me information about their official complaints procedure, and also the contact details for their CEO. They avoid giving me the information in every reply.

Awful customer 'service'.
