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. Nowher... See more

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

Shocking service

Shocking service. almost 6 weeks since I first placed my order and the lenses haven't even arrived at the lab. I need to chase them up to get any updates, and the timeframes keep getting extended. I understand delays due to Covid, but this does not excuse 6 weeks and poor communication. Have requested a full refund.

Hi Scott,

I am extremely sorry for the unexpected experience you have had.

It is really unfortunate that your order has been delayed however given the current situation we are trying to ensure all orders are processed on priority.

May I request you to please reply with your order details for us to check our records and assist you further as we are unable to find an order with your name.

Regards
Team Optically.

Really wish I had read the reviews…

Really wish I had read the reviews before ordering. It has been 2 weeks since I ordered and I have heard nothing from them despite several emails. They claimed shipping in 48 hours and regular updates but I have received neither. Please if you read this take do take the risk ordering from a company that doesn't value it's customers.

Hi Anthony,

Thank you for your feedback.

I am sorry to know that you have not received your glasses yet. As mentioned most of the orders with simple prescription are dispatched within 48 hours, as per our records your order placed on 01st May was dispatched on 04th May.

I wish to get to your attention that "we are experiencing considerable delays in shipments being delivered. Our delivery partners are busy trying to clear backlogs and currently facing delays of 2-4 weeks", which could be a reason that you have still not received your glasses and this is stated on our website as well to ensure customers are aware about the delay and expect deliveries accordingly.

If you have not received the glasses and do not wish to wait any longer we can process a full refund for your order as we offer 100% customer satisfaction. You can either reply to this feedback requesting a refund or email us at support@optically.co.nz or contact our support team on (+64) 4889 4766.

Kind Regards
Team - Optically

My first frames weren't available but…

My first frames weren't available but it took 3 plus weeks to let me know that. They were still showing on the website at that time. So I chose some new ones and asked if they could be prioritised but it still took about 4 more weeks before they arrived. I was happy with them once I received them but the whole process took too long. On the plus side, once I got hold of someone at Optically by phone, they did follow up with several emails letting me know what was happening.

I Would Not Recommend Optically

From my experience, Optically I feel has no right to operate on the New Zealand internet like it is a NZ based company when all they are is an offshore business with a New Zealand web address and forwarding address, 1//Optically claimed that they had never received my frames that I had posted to there Wellington NZ address, fortunately, I had used track and trace,2// Then they clamed I had not sent my prescription for my eyesight WRONG.3// It took 3 months from when the order was made to the time I received my glasses back which were damaged with a dislocated hinge that Optically claimed I had sent them in this damaged condition. I had to take them to my optician to get them to fix the dislocated hing. All of this took mutable emails plus phone calls to there helpline each time with hollow promises that included weak excuses from them never receiving the frames to no prescription to damage then telling me they did not have the lenses. I have all the correspondence plus photo of the dislocated hinge.

Easy and affordable

Easy and affordable way to buy glasses. Quick turnaround and glasses packaged safely.
Have had my current pair for over 2 years now so will be purchasing another pair again soon.
