My go-to for new glasses

I've just received my fourth order from Smartbuy Glasses and I'm once again thrilled with my purchase. Absolute bargain compared to my optician and my go-to when I need a new pair (or 5!) fantastic quality and service, my prescription has always been perfect and I can't fault them at all

Disappointed returning customer

I was a returning customer, but clearly this company has big problems with branded stock. I had ordered a pair of prescription magnetic clip-on sunglasses (Polo) , only to get a notification after a few days that the pair I had chosen had been discontinued, and asked to choose a different pair. Found another similar pair (Tommy Hilfiger) and replaced my order a few days ago. Just had notification that these too are discontinued! So what's the point - wasted time and effort on this company that had provided my previous glasses. Completely lost trust in the process.

UPDATE: 17 April.
Customer Service were true to word. They reached out after reading review and looked into my issues (Danielle). They found an alternate pair of glasses that matched my need without me having to 'hope' they had them in. Offered my a 25% discount on the whole order to boot. Glasses arrived today and i'm not disappointed in them - stylish branded glasses, with snap on magnetic sunglasses addition. Would be 4* if not for the previous issue.

Hello Andrew,

I understand your frustration, especially as a returning customer. Being asked to choose a replacement twice and then finding both options unavailable is understandably disappointing, and it’s not the experience we want you to have.

We work hard to keep our stock accurate, but availability can change quickly with high-demand branded items that come directly from suppliers. I know this situation could’ve been handled better, and we’re actively improving how we manage this.

I’m going to personally review your order and reach out to you via email so we can sort this out properly. I’ll make sure we find the best solution for you, whether that’s securing a suitable alternative or arranging a resolution that works for you.

Best regards,

Danielle

Hello Andrew,

Thank you for taking the time to update your review. I really appreciate it.

I’m really glad I was able to help turn things around and find a pair that works for you. It’s great to hear you’re happy with your new glasses.

We’re also working to improve our stock accuracy so this doesn’t happen again.

Thanks again for giving us another chance; it truly means a lot.

Best regards,

Danielle

Shocking Customer Service !!

I have used Smartbuyglasses for a few years, always happy with products, prompt delivery and returns. HOWEVER, my most recent purchase and experience with Smartbuy has been abissmal, to say the say the least!! Michael Kors frames purchased December 2025, arms constantly needing tightening every few days. Refund requested as per returns policy, only to be told, I am only entitled to a replacement frame. Totally unacceptable, item not fit for purpose and despite being told a replacement would follow, still not received!! Shocking customer service and the very last time I will be using Smartbuy
