I just thought I'd post for the first time my experience with Coastal Contacts. I'm an avid reader of Glassy Eyes and love the reviews so I thought I would order from Coastal Contacts. Let me say, I am not a happy customer. I ordered my glasses on May 17th and they have yet to ship (I keep checking the site). I sent them an email four days ago and never received a response from them. So I gave up and ended up calling them only to talk to some guy who is telling me that they are waiting on my lenses. My prescription is not that tough; Right Eye -. 50 and Left Eye Plano. Meanwhile, I ordered a pair from Goggles4u on the same day and I received them today. Right now, I'm not to pleased with Coastal Contacts and I probably wont buy from them again.
