  I placed an order with Zenni on December 30th for a set of VR lenses for $49.99. The original expected arrival date was Jan 13. As of this time, February 4, nothing has arrived. I had contacted Zenni about refunding a lost order and was told to wait twice (first wait til Jan 18, then Jan 28 for a full refund). No refund has been issued and now the chat with customer service on their website is not working.

  I purchased glasses through the **** website. The glasses I received did not have the proper prescription. I requested a return label unfortunately this was during the holidays.I sent the brand new glasses in and was eventually told that I was beyond the 30 days and my glasses would be discarded. Zenni made the decision to discard my heart earned money offering no discount or resolution.

  I contacted Zenni about my order which I received an email that my order shipped. Since Jan 11 a shipping label was created and it hasn't shipped. It's now Jan 17th. Talk about deceiving! Why send an email that the order shipped when it didn't??

  I ordered a pair of glasses on 1/3/2024. I paid $19 for Rush shipping because I lost my glasses. The terms on Zennis website state:Update on Nov 11, 2024: Zenni Opticals ********************** is now faster! Our US can receive their new glasses within 2-5 days and our shoppers in ****** can receive their new glasses within 3-6 days when you select Rush *********** Order status still says Processing and hasnt changed since I placed it. I called Zenni today to make sure everything was okay. The agent said that they have until Friday to deliver my glasses. I dont see how they will get here by Friday, according to their website shipping status is as follows:Processing - Your order is being manufactured. Manufactured - Your order has been manufactured and is currently in route from our optical lab to distribution. Shipped - Your order has shipped Also, the website states I will receive an email with tracking info once my glasses have shipped. To date, I have not received any emails from Zenni, not even an email acknowledging my order had been placed. Even if my glasses somehow arrive on Friday, that is still outside the 2-5 day Rush shipping. This advertising is false and misleading. After talking with customer service, I still feel unsure if my glasses will ever arrive. This experience, combined with other complaints I have read, makes me doubt their competence and professionalism. I am concerned that if I ever get my glasses will they even been made with the accurate prescription and quality.

  I am rejecting this response because:I have confirmed that my item did not ship on 1/9. It shipped on 1/10. If I hadnt done this complaint it would problem have never shipped.  Also, the tracking link from Zenni to ***** is broken. You have to copy the tracking number then go to the ***** site to track. It is there where it says that the label was created on 1/10.

  Thank you for your message! It looks as though "standard" shipping was chosen on your order, which does give a time frame of 7-14 business days including both the manufacturing and shipping of your glasses. Since the order was placed on December 21, 2024 that gives an estimated delivery window of January 2, 2025 - January 13, 2025. The order has shipped via **** with tracking number 420026609261290339634322054449 and is on route to you now. If for some reason you do not receive the package within the 7-14 business day time frame as outlined on the website, please reach out to us via email at *********************************** by phone at **************, via chat on our website, or on social media with your order number and we would be happy to assist you.

  I ordered a product.They do not know where it is. Last tracking update was Dec 14.When I search the tracking my postal code comes as wrong. When I contact them I have 4 times now they say we will send an email to find out wait 3 more days. No one seems to be able to give me any idea what is taking place. The order is glasses for my children - when I ordered it said 7-10 days and the email I got it was shipped on Dec 2. I need the money back to order new glasses locally. Especially with school starting in a few days. They keep saying of the Canada post strike but my parcel was with landmark tracking number LTN340718088 and is now with Canpar tracking number D47701650000018394101 Order number o6404087204

  I've placed about 4 or 5 orders with Zenni, and most have been without issue. For whatever reason the order I placed on 11/12/24 has been nothing but issues. Glasses initially received on 11/21/24. Immediately upon opening the package it was clear that one of the arms on the frames was bent outward. Attempts to tighten were unsuccessful. I tried reaching out to their "support" team using the "Chat" feature on the website. I realized that that button is just there for show. In fact it is still not working today. My email chain began on 12/6/24, I didn't receive a response from Zenni until 12/8, at 2:38 AM. After realizing the email only support wasn't working and voicing my displeasure I was able to get their team to acknowledge the issue and agree to send a pair of replacement frames that I could work on myself. Not an ideal resolution, but it was slightly better than nothing. On 12/12/24 was the last response stating that the replacement frames would be sent. I left for the vacation I was hoping to wear these glasses on 12/20/24 and still hadn't received the frames. I returned from the vacation on 12/26/24 and still no frames. I called the "support" team and after a bit of back and forth we were able to settle on a refund being the way to close out this matter. However, the idea of having to print their email supplied return label, and using my own funds to get an envelope to complete the return. Not to mention, wait 10 business days from the time they receive my return to actually receive my refund. This entire process has been underwhelming to say the least. I can no longer in good faith deal with any entity that thinks empty apologies are the way to address matters. I wanted a working pair of glasses. A quick refund would be a decent consolation. But I want nothing more to o with this joke of an outfit.

  Thank you for your message. We are truly sorry to hear that there was an issue with your glasses, and we can understand how frustrating this is. Although the order is outside of warranty at this time, our team did approve for you to return them for a refund to your original payment method. We have sent you a return shipping label, and a return authorization as well. Per our policy, we are not able to issue the return for you until the glasses have been sent back to us. You can review our full return policy linked below. If you did not receive the return shipping label, please reach out to us via email at *********************************** by phone at **************, via chat on our website, or on social media with your order number and we would be happy to resend it for you.

  Orderes a pair of sunglasses, paid for polarization. They glasses came and were not polarized. I contacted to get a replacement. They said they couldn't do a replacement, offered store credit. Sale was no longer on, so I would have had to pay a much higher price. Pretty sure they use AI to do customer service, it talked in circles and contradicted what it had said in previous emails.

  I discovered scratches on "VR Prescription Lenses for Meta Quest 3" while I was cleaning them and I don't know how they could have gotten scratched. They were also too difficult for me to clean with the included microfiber cloth because the smudges smear around and the dust particles sticks on the lenses too well unable to rub off easily. The only solution that their live chat support was able to offer me for the scratches was to sent them for inspection and they told me that if they can be remade, only the same exact lenses can be made. But I rather have a replacement of "VR Prescription Lenses for Meta Quest 3" be re-made with Oil-Resistant coating with my Prescription due to those cleaning issues and scratching problem I experienced with Anti-Fog coating.
