  I wanted to cancel my order that I had placed and tried to call them but was promptly sent to an automated system that was anything but helpful. They said they would give me a full refund and it would take 7-10 business days but it is now beyond that and I tried emailing them and only got an unhelpful automated email back so I tried calling another number I found and it again was automated and only sent me back to an automated response on the website which didnt help at all and I have no answer on when or where my refund will be issued. It is almost $300 and I feel I Harv exhausted all of their resources to try to resolve this and follow up with them for resolution without any success. Id really just live my refund and to take my business elsewhere.

  It has been a nightmare ordering my first pair of glasses, with **************. After one week of ordering, I was informed that I will have to select a new frame, which meets certain lens dimensions. I followed the new specifications and sent an email with my new selection. I was willing to pay the difference in the frame price, $41 on Friday 17th June. I was asked to call the toll free number and order the new frame. I did that and they sent me a confirmation email for exchange request. They said that a new invoice will be sent by email the next day. Instead, I received an email that since the new frame is different in price, my previous order has been canceled and that Zi should place a new order, which I had already placed by calling the toll free number on 17th June(I have a confirmation email). Further, shockingly, they did not refund the order amount to my credit card, although they canceled the order, not me. They gave me a store credit. When I went to order the new frame on Sunday, the 19th June, an agent helped me create the new cart and applied the store credit from the previous order. But when I clicked on “Make Payment”, the system removed the store credit applied by the agent, and my credit card was charged the full amount with no store credit. Further, the frame price had gone up, but I was told that the price on 19th will not be honored, although I had made the exchange request on the 19th by calling the toll free number. This sequence of events, if unintentional, is ridiculous and I am hoping for an early resolution.

  I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID# ********, and have determined that my complaint has NOT been resolved because:

  Then why is the total difference in price from the original order,

  not $41, since the price difference of the frames is only $41.

  Basic lenses are free on both the frames.

  You fudged some numbers to get to the price which you wanted.

  There should be only a $41 increase in the order price, before you apply the two store credits.

   

  Thanks

  I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID# ********, and have determined that my complaint has NOT been resolved because:

  The business did NOT resolve my complaint. I already responded through your website. They raised the price of the frame, after I ordered them. When I complained, they matched the price of the frame, but increased the price of the lens. That amounts to fudging the data.

  Dear ******

  The price of the frame that you had ordered was $198.00.  The price did increase to $220.00 on our site but this was after you had already placed your order and paid $198.00.

  The lens package you had selected was the Silver package that costs $179.00 before any discount.  You applied the ******** discount coupon and received a $150.00 discount on the lens package.

  The lens package of your original order that was canceled and refunded was the Basic package which is $10.00 less than the Silver package.
  
  Your order is in transit and en route to you with an estimated delivery date of July 12, 2022.

  *******************************************************************************

  All orders come with our 14 Day 'no questions asked' return policy. If you are not satisfied, simply return them for a refund, store credit or an exchange.

  We hope this clarifies any misunderstanding regarding the cost of your order.

  Order ID: ********** We submitted an order on 3/13/2022. I initially contact the customer service department as the order was behind and seemed to be stuck in the "In Production" part of the order. I received a copy and paste response which was of no help. A few days and a few messages went by, and on 3/23/2022 I was told the item shipped, w/ a tracking# ********************** through ***. It's now 3/28/22 and *** website still shows they've not yet received the shipment, and that only a label was created. I called *** and was verbally told the same thing. I've since contacted customer service a couple of times. I received a nonsense copy and paste response and another stating that *** just hasn't processed our shipment. We've ordered from glassesusa and never had a problem before and because of I've ordered from glassesusa so many times I know it does not take *** five days to process a glasses order. I'd like to know where the order is, why customer service goes out of their way to be so unhelpful and what caused the delay in our order. Glassesusa lost a long term repeat customer over their customer service's nonsense.

  I am not happy having to complain in this manner. because I like this company... However, I do not want what happened to me with my last purchase from GlassesUsa to happen to others. I did call to complain about the delay of the delivery and the shape my glasses came in, When I spoke to the the first agent, he told me that my type of complaint has been happening. I also tried to reach to a supervisor and other than returning the glasses nothing else was offered. I couldn't be without my glasses while waiting for them to fix the bad pairs. My two pairs of glasses not only arrived later than the estimated time, they were both completely CROOKED. I had to go to a neighborhood Optometrist to try to have them fixed. At first, he said he couldn't fix them. He couldn't understand what might have happened (it was NOT a damage caused in the delivery but in the mounting process he said) . I insisted and he went to work on them and managed to realign them somehow and do his best. How could they have been put in a case and shipped is hard to believe.

  I ordered glasses from GlassesUSA on February 4th and got a notification on Tue, Feb 8th that they had been shipped. They gave me my tracking number with *** and it's a completely bogus tracking number. ***'s tracking number is 10 digits only. Called GlassesUsa today and was told that they would have to contact their shipping department via email and the department didn't have a phone number only an email. Then, I was told I couldn't get refunded because it's in the shipping chain. What shipping chain? If you still have an order in your warehouse that hasn't been shipped why wasn't it and is there no follow-up. They guaranteed standard shipping of 7-10 business days. They use a website called Easypost to make it look like it was shipped with *** information. This company is a total scam and the customer service department is not helpful.

This has been ongoing for over two weeks and I keep getting the runaround. I ask for the billing department but I was told that they do not have a phone to speak with me. All I want is my hardearned money back.

  I placed an order for glasses on 1/22/22 for $96.05. The order number is *********. I received notification that my order was shipped on 1/25/22. When reviewing tracking the tracking information said waiting for shipment. When checking regularly, the status did not change. On 2/1/22 I contacted customer service raising concern that my order was lost. I was then told that the shipping company probably didn’t scan the barcode. When I questioned further I was told that they would not do anything because I chose standard shipping and that the order would be delivered by 2/8/22. On their website when tracking the order it states “order will arrive in up to 7 business days” so I should have realistically received my order on 2/3/22. When I reached out on 2/2/22 stating there was still no update and I was just told to track my package using a hyperlink which took me back to where I was tracking the order. I was then told that I would receive my order by 2/8/22. I continued to track the order and contacted usps since they were to deliver it but no one knows where my order is. I have contacted again today and yesterday and still nothing has changed. At this point they could’ve created another order and sent it to me. No one is doing anything other than sending me to a different person. My payment was fully processed but yet my order is no where to be found. My eye insurance made a payment on the order and I’m going to contact them saying I never received the glasses and my insurance will most definitely filing a claim.

  I spent 220.80 on prescription glasses from ************** Order # ********* Included in that price is their protection plan. At some point my lense ended up getting scratched and I made a claim where I was instructed to send my glasses in. After about 2 weeks I contacted them for an update and it was then that they notified me that my frame was out of stock and that my frames were disposed of or recycled. I was told that I could get another frame which I was not interested in. At no point was I told before I shipped them my glasses that my frames were out of stock and that they would be throwing them away. Their protection plan is misleading they did not notify me that my frames were out of stock and would be tossed or else I would never have sent them in and took my business elsewhere. In fact I was never notified of an update until I reached out to them 2 weeks after I shipped them my glasses.

   I have not received the refund I only received the refund for the 31.00 and some change for the replacement plan, also I find it odd as far as timing that my frame in now in stock. Only 1 is available im assuming that is my frame that I sent in thinking that the lens would get repaired.
