So, this is my first review of an item I purchased myself. I bought these glasses from Goggles4U a few weeks ago. I know, the name of the company itself might be enough to drive you away. But, I got these glasses for around $12.00 including shipping. And yes, they are prescription lenses. It almost sounds too good to be true right? Well it almost was. Their website states that is can take up to 2 weeks to get your glasses. I was fine with that for the price I was paying, so I placed an order. After 3 weeks of waiting, I sent them an e-mail asking if there was a problem with my order or something, and got a quick response that my order was processing and would be shipping within 2-4 days. 2 weeks later, I finally got my glasses. Now, I'm a pretty patient person. But I don't like being lied to. I would have been totally fine if they would just be upfront about how long it actually takes to get the product or offer some kind of tracking.
Aside from the long wait time, I really am happy with the glasses I got. They fit perfectly and the Rx is just right. These weren't my dream glasses or anything, but I basically wanted to get a backup pair for cheap. One good thing about this company that made me want to try them out is that you can send them a pair of frames and they will put in lenses for super cheap. So my next step is to find a pair of frames I love and send them off to have the lenses put in. If you know of anywhere I can get some super cute frames, let me know!
I am going to check this site out, I'm in serious need of a cheap pair of (correct) prescription glasses.
ReplyDeleteI've been wanting to put my perscription in some cute vintage thrift store frames. Maybe you could try that out? Can't believe how cheap it was for you to get them!
ReplyDeleteYou should take a look at this post from Rachele over at The Nearsighted Owl http://www.nearsightedowl.com/2012/08/my-glasses-obsession.html it has a re view and link to get a pair of free glasses :)
ReplyDeleteThat's awesome! They have a ton of cute frames. Thanks!
DeleteNo problem! :)
DeleteIt sucks that they lied! I need new glasses very badly. I fall asleep in mine at night watching TV and they are crushed from it. :( They are also like 8 years old. LOL You look adorable in your new glasses. I will have to check their website out.
ReplyDeleteOh, no! I hate the customer service wasn't up to par. I have a serious obsession with glasses! I buy my pairs from zenni.com and I highly recommend it! Also very cheap- I have 5 pairs and spent less than $100 on them. And I had no problems with the service! It may be near time for a new pair, actually.
ReplyDeleteExcellent post. I was checking constantly this blog and I am impressed!
