We were there for over 2 1/2 hours
We were there for over 2 1/2 hours, i had my newborn son with me and there was no urgency. I was overcharged and they prepared the wrong glasses. When I was asked why I was overcharged they said that's the taxes. I'm stuck with two pairs of glasses that I don't want.

Well when they came back I tried and…
Well when they came back I tried and they were blurry on so she had me put on and redid the progressive lines and said she would send one pair back to redo and if it worked she would send other pair ,well got that pair back and it was same thing ,I told her it’s the prescription but didn’t want to listen to me just wanted to sell me a up grade of progressive.I have never had this problem getting glasses with other company.So I got frustrated and just told her to give me my glasses because I will not pay another 2-3 hundred dollars for a upgrade of progressive lens when it’s the prescription so she gave me my glasses and I left.

Always read the small print ask…
Always read the small print ask questions regarding policy, spent 800 for 2 pairs of glasses and Walmart quoted me half the price for two at the most. Tried to get a refund even before I received the glasses and I was told you have 24 hrs to cancel even though online it said that Stanton stands by its products and services and that you have 30 days but apparently only Stanton corporate honors that not Stanton franchise. Who asks if a company is franchise or corporate when purchasing. Go to Walmart instead.
