I hesitate to write a bad review. These guys must be operating on a razor think profit margin, and they did respond to my emails. I ordered a total of three pairs of reading glasses, two rimless and one plastic.
The first pair, rimless, arrived well packed, but once I got all the packing off, they looked like someone had either stepped on them or gripped them very tightly while working on them because the nose pieces were bent way off to the side, unwearable. So, I tried to bend the nose pieces back to something reasonable, and I cracked the lens. I immediately wrote to the company, saying that it was my fault, but I was wondering if I should just order a new pair, or if I could order a new frame (and pay for it). Before I heard back, I decided to just order a new pair. The second pair were plastic frames. They were ok, except that the right ear piece was loose and the screw was tight. Wobbly. But they didn't fall off. The prescription seemed not quite right, but I told myself I was probably imagining it. After a few weeks, the heavy plastic glasses began to get uncomfortable, so I decided to give rimless another try. Once again, these arrived looking like someone had smashed the nose pieces while holding them. Completely unwearable. So, once again, I got out a small pair of needle nose pliers and very gently tried to move the nose pieces back onto place. The plastic part on the nose piece broke off, and I wasn't even putting pressure on it (needle nose pliers allowed me to grasp just the metal). So, I wrote to them and said what happened. To their credit, they said they would send a new set of nosepieces. And the same day I wrote to Goggles4 U about the broken nose piece, I decided to go ahead and order a new pair from 39 dollar glasses. The 39 dollar glasses pair arrived today, (I still haven't recieved the nose pieces from Goggles4 U).and, in short, the quality of the frames is far superior (lightweight, no wobbles) and the prescription seems perfect. Now, admittledly, these (the 39 dollar pair) cost twice as much. It ended up being $63.00 for single vision reading glasses. I have astigmatism, and, as soon as I put on these new glasses, the "not quite right" glasses from Goggles4 U became immediately obvious. In sum, I think that I won't be returning to Goggles 4U. It's not that the service was horrible. It's just that I think they are aiming for the absolute lowest price on glasses on the internet, and that's a tough place to compete. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ Check us out at the oft-updated http://www.glassyeyes.com!
