DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY. As others have said, I'm wondering if this company is actually a scam. Terms and conditions on the website say glasses will be delivered within 28 days, I'm now at 31 days and... See more

The specs are good

The specs are good, value for money, and comfy to wear. They took a bit of a while to come, and the tint wasn't quite what I expected - more amber than light brown, but those are just things I need to be more aware of next time I order a pair. I found the online form a bit confusing to order non prescription specs, but again, practice should help. I certainly will be getting my next pair from Optically

Overall very happy with the experience and outcome.
The only thing that would make it better would be to have some initial email from Optically to say what the tracking number is. I did not know that my order was coming from Australia so when I got the random Australia Post emails I thought they were Spam or Scam type emails.

Buying Kids Glasses

I was trying to buy new glasses for my daughter. I found there wasn't a great selection in the kids section. Given she is older now anyway I decided to go with bigger glasses but still needed to check that the arms were not too long. It would be great if along with providing the details for the prescription if we could also customise the length of the arms

Happy with everything except...

Really happy with the entire process and end product. The only downside was that the order came from Australia, and I’d specifically checked through your website to see where delivery was from. Nowhere is Australia mentioned; in fact NZ Post is mentioned in the shipping section, but nothing about Australia Post (the main carrier). There’s even a Wellington address and NZ phone number. I didn’t want to wait for shipping from overseas.

Hi Chris,

Thank you for your feedback.

I am extremely sorry for the delivery of your glasses and on receipt it did not seem to have the correct prescription.

I understand that we had delays in processing orders however the delay was not more than 2 weeks of the initial promised time frame. As per your email conversation I also see that you were informed that owing to the COVID-19 your order will take additional time to be processed as the lenses had to be sourced. The order was processed only after we received a confirmation from you.

I am sorry to know that after the long wait the glasses received were not suitable however all orders are shipped after stringent quality checks to ensure glasses as made as requested. Its been 2 months since your glasses were delivered to you and we never received any communication from you regarding a issue with the glasses until now. We would have surely offered you a satisfactory resolution to ensure you are not inconvenienced due to an error from our end. We are the only online supplier that offers a 100% satisfaction guarantee on all orders, all one needs to do is contact our support team to discuss available options.

As you are facing a issue with the glasses you can return them to be remade and rule out any lens fault or you can opt for a refund, kindly email us at support@optically.co.nz and a member of our team will assist you further.

Regards
Team - Optically.

Purchased glasses at the end of covid…

Purchased glasses at the end of covid lockdown for mum. They did take alot longer (nearly 2 months rather than 2 weeks as advertised) to arrive due to them being complex lenses which had to come from Australia. However when they did arrive they fit great, look great, are high quality and the price for transitional with blue light protection and premium lenses was unbeatable.

Happy with the glasses but delivery was very slow

I'm happy with the glasses but delivery took a lot longer than expected. Previously I've ordered from Zenni in Hong Kong and their delivery was much quicker than you were able to manage. If your website had been more realistic with its promised delivery times, I would have known what to expect and not been disappointed.

I am sorry I didn't read reviews before…

I am sorry I didn't read reviews before I ordered my glasses. I ordered and paid for them and expected them within 14 days as their website promised. After 21 days and still nothing I contacted them and they said the frame I chose was out of stock. I couldn't find another suitable frame so they promised to refund my money within 3-5 days. A month later and no refund and they are not answering my emails or phone call I am very, very disappointed and frustrated :-( ;-( SO within one day of posting this review I got my money back in full :-)
