LensCrafters has by far the worst customer service
LensCrafters has by far the worst customer service. I ordered a pair of glasses online and this time got the eyewear protection plan, as I have dogs and am clumsy. Within 2 weeks, I had to use the plan because my dog chewed them to bits. LensCrafters must HATE actually going through with the protection plan, or every single one of their customer service reps is badly inept at their jobs. I do online support. Online support tells me to call a number. The number tells me my request has to be done with the online chat support. This process happened 3 freaking times when I blew up on the chat person, and they magically could finally help me. I got my new glasses in the end, though weirdly they didn't have me send my broken ones back. Fast forward to today. It's been 6 months with my glasses, and there's a big scratch down the center of my lens despite the whole anti-scratch coating, but things happen. Surprise, surprise, the whole game of back and forth starts again. First directs me to the number. I d it just in case the process has changed. Nope. Sends you back to chat support. I get connected to someone new and tell them I know I can do it here and do not need to call. The end the freaking chat. I got hung up on in an online chat because I told them I knew the process. That really irritated me the most. Third time I wait a few messages before telling them I know how the process works. I kid you not, this person sends word for word, "I am unable to take payment thru chat." Like that's not even remotely close to what I said. I told her I know she can process it. It's an online order, and I have done the process before. Again, word for word here "As I explained above, we can not take payment thru chat. The only way that it can be done is you have an online account that the order would need to be put together in, and then we can go in and manually add the discount. I have people call me daily to use the EPP plan. I do chat and calls. Sorry, it is directing you back here." Like the sheer audacity, as if I'm the problematic one here. And IT IS AN ONLINE ORDER, as I already freaking told her. Like she blew past all that just to say something I already told her. I really almost lost all the calm I had at that point out repeated to her that it is an online order and that six months ago I had done this process before. She finally asked me for the damn order number, "To look into this," and after all that, she finally did the damn process. Like, why did we have to do all this back and forth? Did she really not want to deal with it that badly? This time I do have to send the old glasses back. I really wish I could choose a different place, but this place takes my insurance the best, so I don't have to pay hardly anything for my glasses. So it seems I'll have to deal with shitty customer service each time or pay more somewhere else, which isn't in my budget.
