I finally received my order and I am pleased with it so far. Very innovative product and only time will tell how durable it is, but feels well made with quality materials.
I believe I got my money's worth and I would recommend this product to friends and family.

Hi Eric,
Thank you so much for your continued patience and for taking the time to share your experience with us. We sincerely apologize for the wait period and for the lack of timely communication you've encountered—it’s not the level of service we aim to provide.
We truly appreciate your interest in becoming a repeat customer, and we understand how important it is to have clear expectations around shipping and fulfillment. You’re absolutely right that even an estimated ship date is better than uncertainty, and we’re working hard to improve transparency moving forward.
Our upper management will be reaching out to you directly and will ensure that you receive a proper response and resolution within 24 hours.
Thank you again for your patience and support—we’re committed to making this right.
Sincerely,

Finally received order after 4mo and multiple emails
Deceiving marketing and unhelpful customer support.
I ordered my glasses on May 24th, 2025. It is July 12th now, and I still have not received my order despite sending various emails back and forth with customer support, who has not even been able to provide an estimated shipping date. The website FAQ states the following: "United States: Packing and processing can take 3-5 business days; arrival can be anywhere from 2-5 business days after shipment."
Obviously, this was falsely advertised, as I still haven't received my order, and there are no significant holidays or weather customer support has not given me an estimated shipping date, despite this being required by the U.S. FTC’s Mail, Internet, or Telephone Order Merchandise law.
I've noticed a few reviews from people who ordered their glasses AFTER me, and despite facing significant delays, they've already received theirs, while I'm still waiting. Customer support claims my order is being prioritized, yet I see other US customers receiving their orders earlier than I, despite me ordering earlier.
It is shocking Chamelo does not appropriately announce the shipping delays on their website, and they keep running campaigns and taking orders despite being aware of their huge shipping delays. If they don't ship my order soon, I'll have to take legal action based on their false promises. I'll update my review to follow up if this problem gets resolved in a timely manner and after I've received my Dusk glasses.
Update July 16: Chamelo did in fact reach out with more information on their expected restocking date and an attempt to resolve this issue, which I appreciate. I'll update my review in August to let you know if they've followed through with it.
Update Sep 10: I'm still waiting on my order from last May. Chamelo expected to restock end of August, however, I've yet to receive my order and just reached out again to follow up...
Update 12 Nov '25: I'm a little late with this, but I got a notification that my order shipped shortly after I followed up, and I did receive my Dusk classic glasses around Sep 19! I like them so I'm debating ordering another pair to get variety in styles, but am reluctant because of the long wait before they finally arrived... In total, it took almost 4 months.
Increasing my review from 2 to 4 stars because the glasses are real and working well so far, and I appreciate James' help from the customer support team as things seemed to finally start moving when he stepped in. Missing the 5th star since it took a crazy long time, and their website was not transparent about shipping timelines upon purchase.

Customer Service Seems Good
One star is off for not keep accurate stock listed on website however after reaching out to me when my product was delayed management seemed to handle the encounter well. My product should ship next week from their international warehouse and they offered an apology and a small discount. Its nice to see a company handle problems as well as they did.
Response from ChameloJul 8, 2025
Hi David,
Thank you for sharing your feedback, and we’re truly sorry to hear about your experience.
We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience caused by the backorder and understand your frustration with the lack of upfront stock visibility. Due to high demand, we unfortunately ran out of stock around the time of your purchase, and we acknowledge that our site messaging could have been clearer during that period.
Please know that our upper management has reached out to you via email to assist with a resolution and ensure that this is properly addressed.
We appreciate your patience and the opportunity to make things right.
Best regards,
Chamelo Support

Where's the glasses?
Frankly, I was really hyped up about the shades just to see how it can elevate my cycling experience. But now - I'm concerned.
I ordered my shades on June 11 and until now, I still have not received them.
Contacted the support team and Aira responded by telling me the shades I wanted was out of stock; and if i was willing to change them to another pair - i did.
And then it was week after week of telling me "yeah we will ship them out soon". I understand when there is over demand and under supply; but what I dont understand is why they are still pushing out promotional campaigns for the shades when they can't ship them out fast enough.
I sincerely hope this is not a scam.
While I appreciate Aira's attempts to assist me, but its simply disappointing.
[Updated on Jul 08]
So someone (James) did reach out to me after this and the glasses were shipped out on Jul 02. I just got them and honestly, its looking quite cool. James consistently maintained communications with me throughout this process so for those who said there was zero reply from the company, I didn't experience that. After-sales customer service from Chamelo is good for me so far.
Now, for the product, I've tried them on at home and they look good. Music is coming across clear as well but I have yet to test them on the road. The only downside is you can't control the volume via ur shades, which is a useful function when you're cycling and your phone is in your back pocket. (I might have been spoiled by Aftershock in that sense.) The lens transition is mild but useful. Again, more to follow when I get to test it on the roads!
Response from ChameloJul 2, 2025
Dear Sherry,
We sincerely apologize for the delay and completely understand your frustration, especially given your excitement to use the shades for cycling.
We want to reassure you that this is definitely not a scam. We’ve been facing unusually high demand, which has caused delays in fulfilling some orders—even after changes were made to accommodate available inventory.
Your concern is being escalated internally, and a member of our upper management team will be reaching out to you directly via email to assist and ensure this is resolved as soon as possible.
Thank you again for your patience, and for acknowledging Aira’s efforts—we’re committed to making this right.
Sincerely,
Chamelo Support

Stalling the returns and refund process
I had a terrible experience with Chamelo Eyewear. I placed my order hoping to use it for a 2-week vacation, but it arrived over a month later—just two days after my trip ended. When I finally received the product, I didn’t like it at all and requested a return within 48 hours. Their website had no proper return option, so I emailed customer service. It took them two days to respond, and even after I clearly stated my reasons and provided all the necessary information, they kept asking the same questions repeatedly, clearly stalling the process. I’ve now contacted them three times with no further response. It feels like they’re trying to drag things out past the 14-day return window. Despite claiming “no questions asked” returns on their website, their actions say otherwise. I'm now considering a credit card dispute to get my money back. Total scam—avoid at all costs.
25 June 2025- Update: After posting my initial review, Chamelo's support manager, James, reached out promptly. He apologized for the inconvenience and informed me that a full refund has been processed—without needing to return the product. I appreciate this gesture.
However, it’s disappointing that it took a public review to get proper customer service. Before posting on Trustpilot, I had to email multiple times with minimal or delayed responses. It would be much better if Chamelo's support team responded with the same level of efficiency from the beginning, rather than only after receiving a negative review. I feel better now with the prompt responds from the manager.
I will wait for the refund to be credited (as promised within 5–7 business days) and will update this review again with a final verdict on the entire process.
A good resolution—but it shouldn’t have been this hard.
Final Update: I’ve now received the refund promptly, and the resolution process went smoothly. I truly appreciate the manager stepping in personally to resolve my issue quickly—everything was sorted within a week, which I’m grateful for.
While my initial experience with delivery delays and lack of communication was frustrating, I believe it could have been avoided if customers were informed upfront about stock availability and potential delays. This would help manage expectations, especially for those ordering for specific occasions or trips.
That said, the product itself is genuinely excellent—high quality and stylish. It just didn’t suit me personally, which is why I initially wanted to return it. But as a thoughtful resolution, I was offered a full refund and told to keep the item. I’m happy I could gift it to a close friend who really liked it.
Overall, a rocky start but a positive and fair ending. Thank you

Dear Dr. Anthony,
We’re truly sorry to hear about your experience and sincerely apologize for the inconvenience caused.
It’s unfortunate that your order did not arrive in time for your vacation—we completely understand how frustrating that must have been. Please know that we take feedback like yours seriously and are committed to addressing your concerns promptly and fairly.
We’d also like to apologize for the delays you encountered when trying to initiate your return. Our support team is very small, and during peak periods, we sometimes experience slower response times than we would like. That said, we want to assure you that we are not trying to stall the process or delay resolution. In fact, as long as a return request is initiated within the 30-day window, we’re happy to extend that window indefinitely to ensure our customers are treated fairly.
To move things forward, we will be sending you a return label today so you can return the item at no cost. Once we receive the returned product, we’ll process your refund promptly.
We appreciate your patience and the opportunity to make this right.
Sincerely,
Chamelo Support
UPDATE 7/7/2025:
Hi Dr. Anthony,
Thank you for your updated review and for acknowledging the resolution we provided.
We’re pleased to confirm that your full refund was processed as promised on July 2, and we’ve also followed up again via email to confirm that everything has been fully resolved on your end.
We sincerely apologize once more for the delays and frustration you experienced early on. While we're glad we could make things right in the end, we fully understand your feedback and take it seriously. We’re continuously working to improve our response times and overall customer experience.
We also hope that the compensation provided helps make up in some way for the inconvenience.
Thank you again for your patience, and we appreciate the opportunity to do better.
Best regards,
Chamelo Support

poor shipping times and response
Have written to their customer support twice now with no response from either email in days. I have not received any shipping updates on my Falcons and it’s been several days since i ordered them.
edit the glasses came and they are awesome, worthwhile purchase.
Response from ChameloJun 23, 2025
Hi Lorenzo! Our small support team aims to reply within 24 hours but sometimes we fall behind especially during busy periods. We sent you an auto-response email notifying you of this, it said: "We are currently experiencing high ticket volumes, and as a result, our response times may be longer than usual."
We received your email on June 20th and have just got back in the office after the weekend. Our support team will be happy to assist with your inquiry and get back to you today.
UPDATE 7/7/2025:
Hi Lorenzo,
Thank you for your feedback, and we’re sorry again for the initial inconvenience you experienced.
We’re glad we were able to assist you throughout the process and ensure your order was shipped out as quickly as possible. We’re happy to confirm that your Falcons were successfully delivered on July 1, and we truly hope you're enjoying them!
As a gesture of goodwill, we’ve also provided compensation for the delay to help make up for the experience.
If there’s anything else we can do, don’t hesitate to reach out. We appreciate your support!
Best regards,
Chamelo Support

Glasses received Late but did receive and they're pretty neat
2nd Follow up-Glasses finally Delivered:
Thanks to James at Chamelo who reached out and made things right. The glasses came late which was disappointing and I still wish they would've been transparent in the start that they were behind on orders and the glasses would take longer, however we have them now and they are so far so good. Love the calls feature on the glasses and of course the shade tint technology feels so futuristic and is super neat. The hubby will try them out yet for a run but so far playing around with them they're pretty neat. NOT A SCAM, legit company and great customer service once you can contact someone
Follow up:
after they responded to this review, I still did not get a follow up. Any sort of peace of mind that this isn't a scam and my order is still on its way would be nice...
Review: I am soo disappointed in this potentially being a scam. Got these as a gift for Father's Day and now can't even get a hold of anybody via email or phone number to confirm they've been sent over a week ago and the live chat seems to be gone. Spent way too much on these for the Hubby and can't even afford it, now I have no gift and no funds for something else ..I feel like I've been robbed. seemed like a really cool product. Hubby really wanted them for his Father's Day Marathon, just super disappointed and wanting a refund, but can't get a hold of anyone!
Response from ChameloJun 12, 2025
Hi Brittany, we're sorry to hear that you've been having trouble with your order. Rest assured that you haven't been robbed, we'd never do that to you. The live chat is currently down for maintenance, and we received your email on June 10, and our team usually replies within 24 hours but sometimes we take a little longer during busy periods. Our support team will send you a message today to assist via email. Thanks!
UPDATE 6/15/2025:
Hi Brittany! Our team has already sent you an email a couple of days ago. Please check your inbox, we are eagerly awaiting your reply and the chance to resolve your concern. Thanks!
