Im extremely disappointed with my first experience ordering from Warby Parker. After doing my research, I placed an order for sunglasses I was genuinely excited about. Things quickly went downhill. There were delays retrieving my prescription, and when that was finally sorted, I received an email saying my prescription required 1.67 high-index lensesfor an extra $100. I contacted chat support and spoke with *******, who told me I didnt have to upgrade, but warned that my lenses might pop out of the frames if I didnt. That raised a major red flag. Lenses should never pop out of any properly made frame, regardless of prescription strength. If a customer is paying $195, the product should meet basic safety and quality standards without requiring an upsell. I asked ******* to clarify whether the lenses were safe or if the frames were incompatible with my prescription, and she dodged every question with vague answers. I then called phone support and spoke with ******, who told me the total with upgraded lenses would be $345. But the sunglasses were $195 and the lenses were supposed to be $100 more, so where was the extra $50 coming from? ****** couldnt explain it and kept repeating the same unhelpful responses. This entire process felt incredibly predatory. It seems like Warby Parker is knowingly offering inadequate lenses to people with higher prescriptions to push them into unnecessary upgrades. Nowhere on the website does it say that customers with strong prescriptions will be charged $100 more just to make their order possible. My order was canceled with no resolution, no accountability, and not even the courtesy of offering to waive the fee. The lack of transparency, paired with manipulative upselling tactics and untrained customer service **** like ******* and ******, completely destroyed my trust in the brand

I am writing to follow up on an ongoing issue regarding the replacement of scratched lenses for my frames. On February 14th, I contacted customer service and was informed that my frames had been discontinued. I was given two options: either select a new pair of frames or visit a store to have the lenses replaced in my current frames. I was also advised that I had until April 15th to complete the replacement.On March 31st, after being denied service at the ***************** store, I reached out to customer service, and my inquiry was escalated to a supervisor named *********. ********* reviewed the situation, confirmed that there had been a misunderstanding, and offered a one-time courtesy replacement. She assured me that the Peachtree Corners store would be notified to assist with this.However, when I visited the store again on April 7th, I was once again denied the lens replacement. The staff at the store claimed they had not received any notification from customer service, and they even mentioned that customer service (*********) could have processed the replacement without my needing to visit the store. I explained that the frames were no longer available, but the representative at the store stated that it didnt matterthey could have helped me over the phone or via chat, as they had done in the past.I called customer service again on April 7th and was told I would receive a call back with an immediate resolution. Unfortunately, I have not heard ******* this point, I am very frustrated and seeking a prompt resolution. Given that I was assured of a free replacement by *********, and that the store was unable to assist me, I am requesting immediate assistance in processing this replacement, as originally promised.I appreciate your attention to this matter and look forward to a prompt resolution.

I ordered a pair of prescription glasses from Warby Parker almost 2 years ago after getting an updated Rx from a local eye doctor. They charged me for the glasses and about 2 weeks later they were shipped to my apartment. I tried them on and within ******************************************** a headache so decided to visit the store where I bought them (in *********) and share my frustration. They looked at them and said everything looked normal and they were made properly so I needed to go back to the eye doctor for the person to update my Rx. I was traveling a lot at the time for work and didnt get a chance to go back to see the doctor for a few months. When i returned to check the prescription, the doctor did the same exam on me and the results were the same. So either the doctor is lying or Warby parker lied and told me they made them correctly. I called to have them replaced with a fresh pair or fully refund me and they said they couldnt do either. I would have to completely order a new pair and pay for them all over again becuase it was outside of the 90 day return window. This practice seems not only disgustingly arrogant but borderline fraudulent. I loved this company prior and have 4 pairs of glasses from them but after becoming a public company, eveything about the business has gone downhill and become all about money and profit. They dont care about the customer anymore and therefore, I will not be doing business with them ever again.

I placed a "try on" order for five pairs of glasses.This order was placed on January 21st.I got an email stating delivery was expected on January ******* of January 25th the package tracking information with **** indicated it had disappeared into their system with no updates on progress.I called Warby Parker customer service and was told that despite this, they require five business days from the date of order to have passed before they consider a package lost and I would have to wait until Friday the ******* Saturday February 1st there was still no updates on the package, so I called customer service again. This time I was told I would in fact have to wait "5-7 business days" and thus they could take no action until Monday, February ****** this point I told them to cancel the order and that I would in no way be taking ANY responsibility for their package, whether it arrived or not. I was told they would not cancel my order because of the current status of the package.I made it very clear I don't care in the slightest what their internal policy says they can or cannot do, I have waited six days past the original delivery date estimate and nine days total without a pacakge, and that whether I receive their package or not is no longer my ********** is now their responsibility to file a package trace request and find the location of the package in question, because I want nothing to do with any part of the situation.

I purchased a pair of bifocal (transitional ) glasses from Warby Parker. A few weeks later I noticed that flat surfaces looked curved when I used the glasses. I went back to the store and was told that the problem was the lens, not my eyes. An oculist adjusted the lens but the solution was transitory. I decided to get new glasses. This time, the people who helped me told me that the original lenses were not the appropriate size for bifocals. Since I was not properly advised initially, I think Warby Parker owes me a replacement pair. I was charged four hundred dollars for the new glasses. I got no satisfaction from customer service this morning. They also wanted to charge me the additional 25 dollars I paid for expedited service even though I received notification that the order would be delayed. I am entitled to replacement glasses at no cost to me.

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: it has taken weeks and even after promising they would stop, they continued and continued. I told them I was filing a complaint and asking for money if they did it again, and they sent three more emails after that. They owe me at least ******. So, no, I do not accept their response at all

Dear Better Business Bureau Team,

I hope you are doing well. I am writing to you to give you an update regarding my ongoing complaint with Warby Parker, referenced by complaint ID #********.

On September 19th, I received a communication from Warby Parker indicating that a representative would reach out to me to address my concerns. As of today, October 11th, I am still waiting to receive follow-up or communication from their team. I need more response to the status of my complaint.

To reiterate the context, Warby Parker has permanently banned me from their services without a clear explanation. The resolution they initially proposed did not meet my expectations, and I would like further discussion or clarification through the promised outreach. However, with no representative contacting me as assured, I am left wondering if they are committed to resolving this matter.

I would appreciate any assistance the BBB can provide in facilitating communication with Warby Parker. It is crucial for me to understand the rationale behind their actions and to explore a satisfactory resolution.

Thank you for your attention to this issue. I'm looking forward to your guidance on how to move forward.

Best regards,

*********** is Warby Parker Location: ********************************************* *********** has failed to provide my trial contact lenses that were promised as part of the paid Comprehensive ********************** Contacts Order # ********* Date Order May 24, 2024 After multiple phone calls and emails, I was told they had no idea when I would get the trial pair. A trial pair of contact lenses is needed to fit and eventually order the permanent lenses. I was left to pay for a new exam at a different company to get contact lenses. Warby Parker refuses to refund the cost of the exam since they never provided the producer (contact lenses). The last phone call I had with a representative gave the "don't call us we'll call you vibe" . *********** "claims" I have special contact lenses. I have been wearing contacts for over 40 years. I believe the delay may be that Warby Parker is waiting for their own brand of contacts that are on delay. I am request a refund of the exam cost.
