Eyeglasses Depot is not a legitimate…
Eyeglasses Depot is not a legitimate business, it's some kind of scam.

EyeglassesDepot.com started in 2007 as a new department of our retail designer eyeglasses and sunglasses business. Quickly we realized that our customers not only shop for new prescription lenses and new frames, they also ask us the popular question "Can this be fixed?". Tired of telling customers NO, we decided to explore the idea of repair rather then replacement. In late 2007 we remodeled the second floor of our office and hired the staff that today runs our laboratory. Our two lab technicians have combined over 17 years of expert experience in the field of optometry, eyewear repair and eyewear sales.
Eyeglassesdepot (eyeglassesdepot.com) has 182 customer reviews on Five Star Index, with an average rating of 3.5 out of 5.

Unfortunately, I had to give them one star, because no stars is not an option. This company should be shut down. I wish I had bothered to read the reviews before I sent my Maui Jim sunglasses to them for lens replacement. Half of their reviews are negative. They kept my sunglasses for over 6 weeks and when I got them back they're not wearable. They sit at an angle on my face and one of the tiny screws is only half screwed in and cannot be screwed in any further. I have been a loyal Maui Jim fan for decades. I am going to buy another brand now. Beware of this company.
Response from EyeglassesdepotMay 28, 2021
The customer was unhappy about something. This is possible just like in any business. Customer service reached out to her to help resolve this issue over 10 separate time. There was no response and when there was , we were greeted with pushbacks and no desire to want to be helped. What more can we do? We want her to send back the item for a REDO under warranty and she is not doing it. But she tells you to "Run" ? RUN from customers like this.... Not our business......

We really would have had no problem to do this fix for you ourselves if you had sent them back to me. We do thousands of repairs per year and so go bad as this one did. I would like to amicably resolve this. I too have a family and we these reviews are very important to us to keep good.

WOW, Where do you start... First off, NOTHING is FREE with this company! They get your broken frames there for free... but you get charged for it later... TRUST ME! When the website says $29+... the "+" part is the part that gets you! I have Titanium frames and it says on the site... Nose bridge repair start at $25 and then add $10 for Titanium. I thought maybe $55... WRONG $196!!! Then I finally got them down to $99 after complaining and telling them to send back the broken frames. Took forever to get the estimate, and then once I did and paid it, they then informed me they would send them out and would be back to them in 2-3 weeks. THEN they ship them to me. Well I got them back and what a SH**TY job they did! No REAL professional would have let that leave their shop! DO NOT USE THESE A**HOLES!!! Now they inundate you with "TIP" requests! HELL NO!!! ***UPDATE*** They did try and call me and offer to buy me off with $12 to take down a bad review. The original invoice had NOTHING to do with replacement lenses, you need a prescription for that to begin with and you did not have that! They tried to upsell me cases, insurance, additional this and that and the repair work alone was $125, additional shipping of $12. Emailed the company and expressed my concerns over pricing and they agreed to $79 plus shipping. Still have those emails as well. Still a far cry from the estimated $39 on the site. NOW I have them calling and threatening me to take down this one and only review or they will "bombard the internet with bad reviews" about my company!!! Then I come on here to see if I could ease the review a bit, only to find he publicly released my information on the internet! Don't believe me about the threats? I will post a link to the threats on this review if this goes even one step further!

This business is a scam. I can guarantee you their good reviews are not real. They will harass you for money and never repair your glasses. Look up Decor My Eyes.

I was going to use them to fix my broken glasses and initiated a repair ticket...then came the non-stop EMAILS AND TEXT MESSAGES saying I hadn't mailed my package! I answered again and again that I wasn't near them & couldn't mail for a week. Still the emails asking...so I got a feeling and searched their reviews. I'm sorry, but 30% 1 star reviews?!? So I canceled my repair request and am now being harassed more!!! Saying you will fix for free?? The reviewers are complaining of: getting DIFFERENT eyeglasses back!; being charged $12 to get them back - what happened to risk free?; being asked for a tip before the glasses are returned???; and asking for a good review BEFORE receiving the item back?? Are you kidding? Oh! And they bragged that they can overcome your SPAM filter - because I answered I was angry because I had reported them as spam but keep getting emails! Sounds like a real "Go To" business

I am a buyer and analyst for a manufacturing company. I do business with companies all over the world. I have never experienced anything like this in my life. It starts with multiple emails asking why I did not use the free shipping label, when I had. When I inquired as to why they keep asking me about it, I received an email that said they did not have my item when I provided tracking that proved they did. Right away I received numerous emails asking for payment. In spite of some warning flags, I almost paid it but when I got to the last page, the price changed. I asked for the return of my glasses with no repairs. I still received numerous email asking for payment to repair. Finally they acknowledge the return. I asked for an address to initiate a call tag for their return, it was ignored. I finally relented and paid for shipping and they included a .99 charge for nothing. It is now more than two weeks later, I still have not received my eyeglasses back and someone from their company, hard to tell who because there are three different names on their correspondence, asking for a tip! I have never experienced anything like this and I actually asked whoever it was if they were crazy. A tip? I received several nasty emails from them. For the record, I am a very good tipper for good service, but I do not tip the grocery store clerk, the nurse, or the stewardess. This company seem sketchy.

I had the most horrible experience with this company, and I am still trying to get my money back! First, i am not a competitor. I am a real customer. Second, I hate writing bad reviews, but felt compelled to do this to protect others. -I ordered my glasses on November 2nd. After a few weeks, I checked in with the seller and was told I should have known they were being delayed because they were being shipped from Europe. I finally received them in December 10th. Before I even received them, I was contacted repeatedly about leaving a positive review and sending them a “gratuity”. -The glasses were not what I ordered. They were a different style, came without the Chanel packaging, and appear to be subpar quality (I don’t think they are authentic, and it doesn’t help that they were shipped from an Eastern European country that has no Luxotica distribution center). -I contacted seller requesting to send back the glasses and to get a refund. First, he told me the glasses I ordered were discontinued and I should keep the ones he sent for a discount. Then he told me he would get me the glasses I ordered. Between all of this, there were an influx of rude and unprofessional messages and phone calls. The seller kept trying to bargain, making this feel more like a swap meet transaction than the purchase of sunglasses from a reputable seller. -After much back and forth, seller offered to issue a refund if I took down my negative review. I took down my review, he sent confirmation of a refund. The very next day, the refund was canceled and fell off my credit card. I contacted seller again, and when I told him I would repost my negative review, he threatened to charge my card another $45 for disputing the transaction. So now, I am out hundreds of dollars and I’m going through my credit card company to dispute, and I may be taking further action if he charges my card again. Save yourself the trouble, and buy or repair your glasses elsewhere. *****update: Seller’s response below is not true! He is only posting part of our communications. And the fact that he just disclosed my personal information, including my credit card information (which I have since cancelled) just goes to show the type of unprofessional company I am dealing with. Still no refund, and he just sent me the return shipping label this morning, 12/16, so I could not have returned them any sooner.
