Review summary

Created with AI, based on recent reviews

Considering 76 reviews, reviewers overwhelmingly had a great experience with this company. Customers consistently praise the exceptional quality and durability of the products, often describing them as the best they've owned and built to last for years. The customer service is frequently highlighted as outstanding, with many appreciating the helpful, responsive, and friendly staff who make interactions pleasant and efficient. Reviewers are particularly impressed with the lifetime warranty, finding it to be a hassle-free and quick process for replacements, even after years of use or accidental damage.

A few other people also felt that the products, while good, were not as indestructible as advertised, and the warranty could be practically useless for international customers.

1 week.

1 week.
The glasses lasted 1 week before they broke. I barely used them and they just came apart.
Then they wanted to charge me another €50 for them to deliver a new pair.
I cut my losses.

MY EXPERIENCE WITH WILLIAM PAINTER LIVING ABROAD!!

The first pair I had broke within a few months of ownership, but it was my fault lol, I sat on them.
I forgot about the lifetime warranty of them, after a few weeks of wearing my glued sunglasses I contacted them for a spare part to replace it, but the told me theyll replace it completely, I just had to send them back with the tracking number, and within a few days they sent me back a new pair without the old ones arrived to them yet, now like 4 years later my lenses are kinda scratched and I contacted them to replace them and Brittany from customer service made the return process a breeze , HIGHLY RECOMMENDED GLASSES AND CUSTOMER SERVICE.

Best Sunglasses & Best Customer Service!

William Painter is BY FAR the best sunglasses company. I have one of every single pair, and have been rocking them since 2017. Their customer support is unmatched - Sutton just handled a warranty on my favorite frames after I sat on them and SERIOUSLY over-delivered! Buy from them, Love them!

My Hook sunglasses are the finest investment I have ever made in eyewear and they are build like a rock. I don't think I could damage them if I tried to, though there is no way I would try that. Unfortunately, the outer coating delaminated for reasons that defy explanation, and when I contacted the Painter staff for warranty details the response I received was stellar and immediate. These people are the absolute BEST! Thank you Sutton.

Happy Customer and Supporter

I've used Oakley and Ray Ban most of my life and I hate, absolutely hate it when they break or get scratched up, its either a new pair at full price or lenses that cost 1/2 the price of a new pair. I have used the warranty twice now, never any misdirection or stress, its simple, $50 for a brand-new pair under warranty (There is just such a sigh of relief with that statement). They are not some cheap poor-quality sunglasses either. I'd argue they are better than Oakley frames and on par with their lenses.

Lifetime warranty!

William Painter sunglasses are high quality with a super comfortable fit and a great look. This company also stands behind their lifetime warranty. My daughter accidentally broke my sunglasses and William Painter sent me a new pair with no questions asked. I'm definitely a lifetime customer.

Sutton is the best.

William Painter, you could not have a better representative of your company, than Sutton. They were AMAZING!!!! Sutton made certain that I was able to get exactly the pair I wanted, they communicated well, clearly and were very responsive. 20/10. Gold star. Employee of the month!

Not only do I absolutely LOVE your product , but going through this experience with Sutton sealed the deal. I’ll never buy another pair of glasses from anyone but you.

You guys are the best. Thank you all.

Warranty process with Sutton at William Painter

The support I received from Sutton at William Painter has been phenomenal. They provided a very fluid experience in replacing my glasses under warranty. I appreciated the conciseness and transparency I experienced when going through the process. Sutton went above and beyond when helping me. I really appreciate his timely responses and overall excellent professionalism when assisting me.

Fantastic customer service. They know how to make each customer feel unique. They are very quick with responses and are super reasonable when it comes to returns/warranties. I will be using them for any frames or shades I need in the future.

Appreciate the props! Sounds like you have the best taste in sunnies among your group! ;)

I asked for support 5 years after and received a very warm welcome!

Contacted them about an order I made 5 years ago (I was recently reminded by a new lost item in the mail) that was lost as the fault of an issue between myself and the delivery company. The team (shout out to Sutton!) put in a order free of charge to replace my item that never made it to me! Could not have asked for better support and a more positive response to my inquiry!
