Jenny identified straight away that I was wearing the wrong bridge size; that’s why my spectacles kept sliding down my nose. I didn’t even realise there was such a thing. Jenny is always cheerful and welcoming. I’ve bought specs from here for at least 10 years. Wouldn’t go anywhere else.

Can’t praise the lovely Jenny enough. She was so helpful and knowledgeable and helped me to choose frames which I definitely wouldn’t have chosen on my own. I love my new glasses and have had lots of compliments about them. Varifocals are always pricey but I got the best of everything for much less than I would have paid at SpecSavers.

We were greeted as soon aa we walked through the door. The young lady behind the counter soon made us feel at home. She had a very good knowledge of the products they sold and made sure the glass fitted correctly. She he left me a message when they were ready to collect. On collection of me new glasses it was like walking into a friend’s house the got me to try all for pairs of glasses on before I left. Very good experience thank you
What an amazing young lady Jennifer is. She took her time in showing the frames. Nothing seemed too much trouble. A really credit to the company.
Friendly service. The young lady was very helpful and knowledgeable. No 'up selling' either which was fantastic. Will definitely use again.

Glasses purchased 3yrs ago broke so contacted Burton branch...same frames tracked down by jenny from another branch and prescription emailed...payment including postage sent and new glasses arrived a week later by post to save a long car journey!! Gary kept me in the loop by email throughout...excellent service, delighted with outcome. Wish we had a Specs Direct nearer...brilliant prices and staff who go the extra mile too!! Thankyou.

Visited Direct Spec in Burton this afternoon, arriving at 16:33, only to find the store closed—despite their stated opening hours being until 5 PM. There was no sign on the door, no notice, and no explanation.
I completely understand that circumstances can change and things pop up unexpectedly—but it would be far less frustrating if there was at least a note on the door. As it stands, it just feels like you don’t care about your customers.
This is the third time this has happened to me over a period of time. While the service is good when you can get into the store, the lack of communication and reliability really lets the experience down.
