Do not purchase contact lenses from…
Do not purchase contact lenses from 1-800-Contacts. I ordered my contacts by sending them a scanned original of my prescription. The website then provided me with a total cost owed, and 3 choices for shipping. It was free for 8-10 day delivery, another price for 5 day and $20.00 to overnight the shipment ( they refer to it as teleporting because delivery is supposedly really fast.) I paid $480 for my order and $20 for overnight delivery service, and received confirmation. I contacted them via telephone immediately after making my purchase just to confirm everything was correct and that I would receive my contacts the next day, which they confirmed. 3 days later, I received a text message letting me know that there was an issue with my order and to contact 1-800, which I did. The 1-800 agent told me that my prescription would cost $890 dollars, in addition to what I already paid, because there was a mistake on their part. When I told her to cancel my order, she responded with "we already did." She then went on to say that the money I already paid them will be refunded in 3 to 10 business days. Don't put yourself through this aggravation. Only to find out they're holding on to your money, while you're thinking that your lenses are on the way.
