Poor service

published

I ordered sunglasses for a Christmas present, they sent me wrong colour. I returned them only to be sent the same glasses as a replacement. Total incompetence. Will not be ordering from them again.

Still waiting!!

published

I ordered frames on 6th December and I was told the stock was confirmed on 12/12/19 and would be shipped by 4/1/20. I have now been told that there's a delay and they won't be shipped until 5-9 working days after the 4/1/20. I am not happy as they have had my funds for nearly 6 weeks and if I had known beforehand, I would have ordered frames elsewhere. Stay away from them.

I would stick to golden rule of checking reviews before buying online, Now only regrets.

"Once they take your money, They keep delaying your order due to no stock availability. Why sell stuff that's not in stock. Initial delay was told to be until 15 January now another email update says another delay for 2 more weeks.

Still selling out of production

published

I ordered a pair of sunglasses that were on sale. Three weeks later they were telling me that they were on back order when in reality they were out of production! No guarantee of being able to source them. They offered me a 5% discount on something else when the sale price was 33% off, would not sell me anything else at that price. Should not have been offered for sale if they didn't have stock, Just bad practice. Beware.

I was a little worried about my purchase after reading some bad reviews, but no problems at all. I received my order after 4 business days. The price was over 20% off when compared to my local retailer. Definitely will purchase again.

satisfactory experience

published

My order did take a bit long to arrive, nearly 2 months due to the stock unavailability and restocking; however, the customer service have been helpful through the live chat and emails so I always knew that my order was taken care of during the waiting. My order have arrived with well packed via express shipping, and they are genuine goods. I am satisfied.

They sell stuff that aren't actually in stock

returned a pair of sunglasses to upgrade to polarized and then the fun began! After 2-3 weeks of back and forth i was informed the item was not in stock and would take another month, plus the consultants kept repeating themselves, frustrating

Avoid them - Constant delays, no service, no glasses

published

Vision Direct prices look attractive, but they will charge you for the order and then tell you they don't have the stock and you have to wait. The order I placed at the start of December for a Christmas present is now listed as further delayed for 1 to 2 weeks with no end in sight to the delays.

My advise would be to pay the extra 5%-10% and buy in a store where you know you will actually receive the product.

Vision Direct is unprofessional and this experience has been disappointing.

Like many others, I paid for express shipping, and after 6 weeks, my order was never delivered (just straight sunglasses that were in stock, no prescription). Wasted so much time and energy trying to follow up, and then after 5 weeks seeking a refund. So far, I have only received a partial refund (after threatening to dispute the transaction with VISA). My advice - just avoid this company. But if you really want to save some $$, then at least use your credit card so if the goods never arrive you can dispute the transaction and hopefully get a refund.

Smooth process

published

It was easy to place the order. I found the communication (all electronic) excellent; this included communication about each stage of my order being processed and also the delivery.
I received my sunnies much quicker than I expected. I also appreciated that they sent the original non-prescription lenses as well.
I'm a happy customer.

Jessy Nasked

I live in country South Australia and ordered on the 2nd July, expected delivery is in 4 or 5 days. I am making do with what I have for now so that's actually about the same as an optometrist. I just really need to know ARE THEY AUSTRALIAN STANDARDS AND WHERE CAN I SEE PROOF OF THIS?? If they aren't I am going to need a refund at some point I think. I know they are at global company based in Australia.

glasses are sent from china

Mine have been sent from Hong Kong as that is where the lenses are manufactured one of their reps said. But none of them can tell me if they are made to Australian standards.

Mandyasked

Hello, I have purchased some monthly wear contact lenses, I am wondering why so far 3 out of the 6 pairs were not even with a prescription, and why one of the lenses was not a full circle? I could not even put it in as it was so painful and stung my eyes. I have purchased these before and not had a problem, I am so disappointed after this last box. Complete waste of money, was good to save but I ended up spending more at specsavers to buy others instead .

I was just about to hit submit on a pair of RB3025 at $224 lucky I checked the review on here, canceled the purchase. Get your act together.

How does the 100% Return Policy work when the 'product(s) MUST be returned unused' - how are you supposed to know if there's a problem with them if you're not allowed to 'use' them to try them on?

You can try the item out and see if the item suits you. You have 100 days to decide if you wish to return the item for an exchange or a full refund.
