My order took almost 1 month for my glasses to be delivered. The regional manager compensated me for the length of time and difficulty, but it was an extremely frustrating experience.

I gave three stars because the actual frames and lenses were nice and arrived within a decent time but the guys that work there are fast talkers and a little sneaky. I noticed that I ended up paying extra for eye care cleaning kits after informing the Rep I didn’t and couldn’t afford any extra add ons. He did give me a bunch of discounts but was still super sneaky AND misquoted some of the charges and “discounts” he applied.. He kind of started off saying one thing but my invoice looked a little different by the time I walked out the door.. If you come here, pay close attention to your bill and make sure you are adamant about what you want and don’t want. Don’t let the guys coerce you into a very expensive corner.
