Avoid. Waited so long only to be charged customs charges of £23.61..
This makes the glasses £5 cheaper than John Lewis.
A joke and I'm really annoyed.
Don't bother if in UK

Mr. mcging, thank you very much for your order, we are sorry that you were charged a customs fee in the UK as there is no way unfortunately for us to know in advance if in fact that fee will apply to a product sent from us to the UK. with that said we do believe that even with a customs fee our reduced price on the frame you have selected is a competitive deal and should as we hope saved you some money overall.
we regret you being upset and have added a $20 USD credit to you account if you ever decide to make a purchase with our store in the future.

Poor customer service, excessively poor delivery time
They had the frame I wanted, and the prices were good. I ordered them on 8/30/2016; after a couple follow ups, I was notified on 10/14/2016 that the glasses had not yet been shipped because the lenses did not pass inspection. I had 3 pairs of lenses and two pairs of frames - one for distance, one for distance for sunglasses (no frames), and one for computer. They were cut incorrectly, so I had to send them back. I was accused multiple times of not sending a pair of lenses back, and I insisted everythting I was sent was included in the return package. After a couple of weeks, they realized they had not shipped a pair of lenses. On pack of lenses I thought had been cut were the generic lenses that came with the glasses. I waited and waited for the replacements and placed numerous calls. Alex, a manager, would occasionally call me back. I tried multiple times to cancel the order, but they "wanted to make the order right and keep me as a customer." Pardon me? EVERYTHING was bad about this transaction. Eventually, the replacement order was shipped 12/1/2016. Over 3 months for the glasses. It may be the eye doctor didn't get my prescription quite right, but I can see slightly better with my old glasses than with the new - unfortunately, the lenses on the old glasses are severely scratched. There were lots of excuses on their end, failure on their end to communicate, failure on their end to cut the lenses correctly. I've never been so frustrated with any online purchase, and with the number of items in the order and the total amount, I was concerned I'd eventually get absolutely nothing. Stay away!

No such thing as overnight shipping!
You pay for overnight shipping and still wait an entire week to recieve your glasses. And i had only purchased a frame !

Thank you so much for making a purchase with our store, shipping time unfortunately does not include processing time as we only ship brand new frames from our vendors and not frames from our store. once the new frame arrives to our store we make sure its pristine and only then is the product shipped in the selected shipping method.

I've only had 1 experience which is not going well. I ordered frames that were offered on the site in a particular size. Upon receipt they were a smaller size. when I contacted CS I was told that there was an error on the website, and they offered an opportunity for me to get another pair. I wasn't interested in another pair because I actually saw the ones I ordered at a local store but the Cool Frame price was better. Although it was against their policy I was told that I would receive a refund. Each time I follow up ,I'm told that someone will call me back. This has been going on for 2 weeks and my vision benefits is being held up. I just want a refund since the error was not my fault nor did I change my mind about what was ordered. I will never ordering anything from CoolFrames due to the lack of follow-up.

Ms. Harris we regret that the frame did not come to you in the size you had requested and we know that the frame was in fact not as described on our site. we did process a full refund and did have EyeMed reverse your benefits back to your account. we take full responsibility on this order and are very sorry for the trouble and frustration this caused you.

After going through their site and having instructions on what to order from their associates found out the pair of glasses was not made correctly and instead of them correcting the order they gave an attitude and advise if you don't want them send them back and we will still charge you a restocking fee was their final answer.
