  3/22/25 I went into the store to pick up glasses that i had already paid for. I asked the lady at the counter if I had to wait on the customer that were there to do a pickup. She got loud with me and practically screamed to me to go sign in then someone would get to me when they get to pickups. I had no problem with the wait but with the way she spoke to me.

  I have been going to this location since 2021. Fast forward couple years and it's sad to say only one person at that location is friendly and welcoming. That is ***! She is amazing! it's unfortunate that you can get great customer service from one person *** and when you return to do an exchange with in the 30 days better yet 3 days from purchase because I changed my mind I was met with attitude and snarky comments from ************** because they had do more work on the computer. Even after the horrible customer service I still dropped another almost $200. Fast forward almost 10 days 3/17/25 I decided to return to exchange one of the pairs as they were hurting and causing migraines. I got to the store @517pm. There was only one person in front of me and 3 associates assisting other customers. The "manager" decides to get into the area where they make glasses instead of assisting the next customer waiting. When it came to my turn I explained to the associate (that I would like to have the manager assist me as I have dealt w/ her in the past w/ the glasses and that I would need her as I was looking to do a return or exchange. She proceeds to go to the back and with a snarky attitude & tells me that the manager is busy making glasses and that she would be out in 15 minutes (this was at 5:44pm). I asked for the corporate & regional manager's name and when she came back she asked if that was all I needed said nope that is not all I still need the manager to complete my return. Manager (****) comes out and asks for me by last name and proceeds to state she thought it was best if I was refunded and it was the best for both parties. She was totally fine, refunding almost $500. Along the way as she was refunding me she kept saying more snarky & passive aggressive comments. After she completes the return she tells me I could still purchase the pair I wanted.

  Ordered eyeglasses online and went to pick up in store. Went in Saturday March 1, 2025. Was given the new glasses and I couldn't see anything with them. I was told I'd I can bring in the physical prescription they will fix it. I went home and got the prescription, returned and was told to have a seat and the manager would be out to help me. Three hours into just picking up my prescription I still haven't spoke to a manager. I left and I was told I'd I did the manager would no longer continue to work on them. I left anyway and called Eyemart express customer support at which time I was told there is no manager on duty that day there that day. I wasted all that time and there was not even a supervisor there. We went back for a refund and was told only a manager can do that. Called Monday March 3rd and the person answering the phone said they would call us right back which they never did.

  12/28/23 I purchased a pair of glasses. a few months later I noticed that I didn't purchase the lens with the transitional lenses, so I returned to have the business to have them to put those lens in. I called 3 days after my guaranteed warranty had expired. I explained that one of the lenses had specks in it. The clerk took my glasses into another office and returned to me saying it seems as if something was sprayed on it to cause it. We had different opinions because I stated the transitional material in the one *** was made was defected! The other *** didn't break down. I asked what we could do to rectify this issue they had me calling 3 different times & talking to people higher up in their business when they had no intentions to solve this issue. I didn't abuse my glasses & take exceptional care of them. I am a 70-year-old disabled retired senior citizen that can't afford to purchase new glasses at a wham. I buy glasses every 2 or 3 years with a new prescription. I must live on my monthly income so very disappointed that this business blamed me instead of considering the material wasn't applied correctly in one on the lenses. I want other buyers to be aware of business not taking ownership but blamed the person. I wasn't in there because of the warranty I went in the store hoping they would help with this problem that I didn't cause. I walked away from this location, ***************************************** feeling not heard and the business was happy to take my money but wasn't going to own an issue with their lenes!

  Hi Ms. ************ sincerely apologize for the experience you've recently had, and I appreciate you taking the time to reach out to us. I have reviewed your account and would like to provide some clarification regarding your warranty and the steps weve taken to assist you.
  
  Your warranty was valid from December 13, 2023, to December 13, 2024. Lenses are subject to normal wear and tear from daily activities, such as outdoor exposure and how we handle our glasses, which is why we offer a one-year warranty period. When you first contacted the store on December 26, 2024, it was 13 days after your warranty had expired. Our staff offered you a discount of up to 50% on a new lens purchase as recently as February 5, 2025, including during your recent call to customer service. However, you declined all offers, requesting a free replacement outside of the warranty period.
  
  Id like to review the history of your interactions with us. Initially, you came in to purchase glasses with anti-reflective (**) coating. As **-coated lenses typically take about two weeks to arrive, our store made a temporary pair without the ** coating free of charge while your order was being processed. You picked up the original pair of glasses on December 28, 2023, and returned the following day on December 29, 2023, expressing concerns about the frame fit. We then upgraded your frames and discounted the cost difference between the original and new frames. In April 2024, you returned to upgrade your lenses to include a color-changing effect, for which we provided a partial discount.
  
  After this, we did not hear from you until after your warranty expired. The staff noted that the chipping you mentioned was related to scratches on one of the lenses. Unfortunately, scratches fall under normal wear and tear and are not considered a defect in the lens manufacturing.
  
  We genuinely value your satisfaction, and I understand your frustration. While we are unable to provide a free replacement outside of the warranty, we are happy to continue offering a discount on a new lens purchase or discuss other available options.

  I am rejecting this response because:   Express offered me a 30% off lenses. I'm reading here that they are stating up to 50%. I would be willing to get a new pair of glasses with 50% off the lenses according to my eye doctor's specifications. I was so upset about the accusations that it was my fault that one of the lenses had specks throughout that lens. I understand that neither party wants to take a loss when a product doesn't perform as it should. I would be willing to purchase a new pair of glasses with a 50% discount on the lenses from Eye Mart Express this year. I will be watching to see if a pair of frames with lenses would be in my budget. My goal was to let Eye Mart Express business know that I left their store and contacted a representative in customer services believing they truly wanted to resolve the issue and not being made to feel disrespected!

  If they are not going to meet me half way by owning 1/2 of the responsibility of the way their product performed in a year then we can consider this matter closed. I know that my dollars can be spent at other eye wear businesses. People will always remember how you made them feel in a matter verses the loss they may take.

  Thank you BBB!

  I really appreciate your help in this matter. I also appreciate the very timely response to me!

  This was a cyber Monday deal I couldn't pass up. 60% off of everything. Order today, ships tomorrow. Fraud alert. The delivery is a lie with lots of excuses. I was told by customer service there is no way to do order today shops tomorrow due to holiday orders delivery times will vary. Fraud. Still haven't received a firm status on when they will be delivered. Oh and then the push to download an app to track your information called shopify. Privacy problem with no tracking. Canceling order will take as long as shipping. Misleading and fraudulent. Not worth the hassle online. I need these glasses to see and read.

  On Oct 18, 2024 I walked into a local EyeMart Express in **************, **. After waiting 45 minutes I decided to leave and place an online order instead, due to the crowd in the store. I live 40 minutes away so once I got home I started entering my eye glass order. I had a question about my prescription so I called the phone number from the online website. *****, from the customer service took my call and I noticed then I was having a problem completing a sentence because she kept interrupting me. Finally I was able to ask her if my prescriptions were in the system because I was not sure. She stated yes *** they are in the system. So I placed the order which stated if shipped to the local store it would take a day verse 7 days if mailed to my home. So I had the order sent to the local store. The next day at 12:35 I called the local store who had an issue locating my order but the finally found the order and told me it would be and hour and I would receive a text indicating my order was ready for pickup. I never got the text, so on Monday I called the phone number on the website to get the status of my order. ***** answered the call and this time she would not let me explain, first why I was calling and I could not get a status of my order. I was not able to verify this because when I called the phone number on the website I could not get a word in to explain why I was calling nor could I get a status of my order. I was told over and over I needed to contact the local store. Had it not been for the professionalism of the local store, I would not use this company again. It wasted two days of my time and as I was trying to avoid having to take time off my job to get this accomplish, This was the worse experience I have ever had. No one ever called nor did I receive any email explaining the status of my order.

  On 9/18/24 I went into EyeMart Express in ****** *****, to have lenses made for **** Spade frames I purchased from another store. I was told it wasn't a problem. They charged me ****** for 2 Hi-index 1.67 Pro UltraXHD with UltraXAR and a Hi-Index Upgrade. After my insurance it was a total of ****** out of pocket. They sent them away to be made. When I picked them up the lenses made everything distorted. In every direction except straight ahead. I mentioned this to the ******, ******** D, who was waiting on me. After arguing with her, she stated I needed to get used to the new prescription, I told her I've worn glasses since I was 4 and progressives since I for almost 30 yrs I've worn them. She then stated that she would take the glasses out back and have them test the prescription. The demo lenses that the frames came with were in the box when she took my glasses outback to be checked. We waited almost an hour for them to check my glasses. She came back with my glasses and said they were the right prescription, I said I didn't want them because I couldn't see out of them. She refunded my lease cost. She then took my glasses out back and had the prescription lenses taken out and brought back just my frames and when I asked for my demo lenses she stated that they tossed them. I said they were in the box with my glasses when you took them outback and she just shrugged and said well they're in the trash now. I told her I can't get new lenses made anywhere else without those and she said I don't know what to tell you and walked away from me. Now I'm stuck with frames I can't get lenses for.

  My complaint is that I was initially and repeatedly promised to be provided two pairs of eye glasses in my existing frames. My initial visit was during May 20, 2024 having been recommended by Hometown Ophthalmology. All my appointments were with a friendly, courteous lady, *******. From day one I was told by ******* that they would provide me a second set of glasses, at no added cost, once the prescription was satisfactory and once I had worn the new lenses for a number of weeks. When I returned in early August to get the second set of glasses in my back-up frames I was told by the Store Manager, *****, that ******* did not work there anymore and the best the store could do was provide me the second set of glasses at half price, $125.00. ***** said that ******* was not authorized to make the offer of no cost and she would not provide the second pair at no additional cost. I explained several times that that was not what I was told repeatedly. As ***** repeated her statement I said "You will be hearing from Me" and departed. I followed up and called the EYEMART EXPRESS corp. *** in ***********, ** and was told that those decisions were handled at the store locations. They said that they would not get involved. BBB lets discuss as you desire. **** ******, dissatisfied EYEMART EXPRESS customer.

  Were so sorry you didn't have a great experience in our store. We will be refunding the full purchase on the pair of lenses(a total of $559.90) due to his dissatisfaction of the product. The refund will arrive as 2 checks via **** mail within the next 7-15 business days to the address on file. ****** can keep the pair of lenses if desired, but it will no longer be covered under any warranties.

  As the refund of the total amount from EYE MART EXPPRESS may take up to 15 days I cannt agree to a settlement until I receive the refund. This may be longer than the 10 day response allowed by BBB. 
  Also EYENART EXPRESS should update their store manager training to include that the Store Manager is responsable for the committments that are made by their employees to the customers.

  ****Classic bait and Switch-- BUYER BEWARE!!!****On 7/6/24 I stopped in my local Eyemart Express on **********************************. When I explained **** club was less expensive, I was offered a buy one get one free, and a 40% off coupon. I do not have insurance. I specifically asked for clarification and was assured they do this all the time. So I spent the next hour and a half picking out 2 frames. During sizing and at checkout I was informed that I must pay for one frame first, and then ring up second frame, and apply coupon. I wondered how this would work. They cant combine and use coupon if both applied in one transaction it must be two transactions. I explained well what if it doesn't work? I was reassured they do this all the time and its just how system works. I am only interested in completing purchase if it does ******* my dismay, after paying for first frames at $300 plus, she could not get coupon to work. So I was to either to settle for one pair for the absurd amount of $300 plus dollars after 40% coupon. Or purchase the other pair as well for another $300 plus. By this time I had my heart set on both pairs. I would have never picked out frames if I knew coupon would not work, I simply would have left. being frustrated and store busy and feeling rushed, I frustratingly paid for both. $600 plus dollars!!!! I felt so uncomfortable and annoyed and felt taken advantage of! I tell everyone I can to avoid Eyemart Express because of this bait and Switch-- strategy!!!
