Eyeglasses depot are extremely…
Eyeglasses depot are extremely untrustworthy, and when there’s a problem, nobody will contact you back. The only time they seem to respond quickly is when they want a payment. I sent them a $500 pair of glasses that were only about a month old to be repaired. They emailed me confirming they received them and said they would send me a repair quote. After they sent the quote, I checked my paperwork from where I originally purchased the glasses and realized they were still under warranty. I informed Eyeglasses Depot about the warranty, and they told me I would only need to pay shipping to have the glasses returned to me. Fine, no problem. On April 30th, they sent me an invoice for shipping. I paid it immediately, and they confirmed they received the payment. They also stated they would send me a tracking number once the package shipped. Five days later, I still had not received a tracking number, so I contacted them. They finally sent one, but when I checked it, the USPS status only showed “pending.” I waited another three days and contacted them again. They claimed it sometimes takes a few days for tracking to update and assured me they had already dropped the package off. I decided to call USPS myself, and they told me they could see a shipping label had been created, but USPS never actually received the package. I contacted Eyeglasses Depot again and explained what USPS told me. Their response was basically, “It’s out of our control, we shipped it.” That response was unbelievably unprofessional. A reputable company would at least try to investigate what happened or help locate a customer’s property. Instead, they acted like it was no longer their problem and told me to take it up with USPS — even though USPS confirmed they never received the package in the first place. Since May 7th, I have emailed, called, and texted every number listed on their website and have not received a single response from anyone. At this point, it seems obvious they lost my glasses and do not want to take responsibility for it. They have made absolutely no effort to help, replace the glasses, or make the situation right. This has been the worst customer service experience I have ever had. I strongly recommend avoiding Eyeglasses Depot and taking your business somewhere else. They clearly do not care about their customers or their property.

Hi Kelly, We are sorry you were unhappy with your experience, but we believe your review leaves out important details regarding what actually occurred. You sent your eyewear to us for evaluation and repair. We provided a repair estimate, but you subsequently advised us that you believed the eyewear was still covered by the manufacturer’s warranty and chose not to proceed with the repair. You then requested that the eyewear be returned. As you stated in your review, you paid the return-shipping charge on April 30. We provided you with tracking information for the shipment. The fact that USPS tracking initially showed “Pending” or “Label Created” does not establish that we lost your eyewear. USPS does not always provide an acceptance scan immediately, and tracking information can remain unchanged until the package is processed at a USPS facility. We also want to be clear that we had no reason to keep or intentionally withhold your eyewear. The allegation that we simply “lost” your $500 glasses and refused to take responsibility is not an accurate representation of our position or our handling of your order. We understand how frustrating it can be when tracking information does not update, particularly when valuable eyewear is involved. However, once an item has been turned over for shipment, the physical transportation and scanning of the package are handled by the carrier. We take customer property seriously and regret that you were dissatisfied with the communication surrounding this shipment. However, we believe prospective customers should have the complete context: we evaluated the eyewear, provided a repair estimate, honored your decision not to proceed, accepted your payment for the requested return shipping, and provided tracking information for the return shipment.
