Maybe this is just the way online eye wear sites operate.
I want to be as fair as I can be, so...Eyeglasses.com is the second online eye wear site I have used in the past month. The first place was very disappointing and Eyeglasses.com is shaping up the same way. I think maybe it's just inherent in this particular industry or simply luck of the draw. On the positive side is eyeglasses.com's selection and pricing; they have a nice variety of frames and very reasonable prices. However, the price you pay for that is unresponsive customer service and having to wait an unreasonably long time for them to fulfill and ship your order. Even though I was told the frames were "in stock," it has been two weeks since I placed the order and they have yet to be shipped. The reason they have not been shipped is that eyeglasses.com is waiting for the manufacturer to provide the frames to them. When I asked about their claim that the frames were "in stock," I was told that meant the frames were "virtually in stock" because they were available from the manufacturer. I was told yesterday that eyeglasses.com should have the frames in their possession by some time next week. I estimate that if this indeed true, a month will have passed when I finally receive the frames that were "in stock." In regard to customer support, I dealt with one very nice phone rep but the chat agents are slow, unapologetic and dismissive. If you send an email, don't expect to receive a reply in a timely fashion. Bottom Line: Good selection, fair prices, but lousy follow through.
