Poor systems and customer service
May 10: Placed an order after entering my frame's manufacturer and type to make sure LensDirect could work with them, requested a box, and uploaded my prescription. The company accepted my frame information, verified my uploaded prescription and and billed my credit card. I received the box a few days later, followed instructions to mark the lenses with permanent marker to show my pupil location, and mailed the frames to LensDirect. May 23: Online order status said they were still waiting on the frames. I called customer service, an agent said they had received the frames, and it would take about 2 weeks to process. I received an email confirming receipt of the frames. June 10: Online order status still said they were waiting to receive the frames, so I called again. I was told they were cancelling my order because of "frame details." (No other explanation was provided; these are brand new frames, and my prescription was for a simple bifocal lens.) I could have bought the frames with a bifocal lens installed, but I relied on LensDirect's confirmation they could put my prescription in these frames. The frame manufacturer only inserts prescription lenses at the time the frames are purchased, so I am no longer able to get prescription lenses installed through them. I relied on LensDirect, and I have learned they are unreliable. 6/16/2023: My frames were returned. Unfortunately, I now have permanent marks on the polycarbonate lenses that came with the frames because I followed LensDirect's instructions to mark the location of my pupils. I have washed the lenses with soap and used eyeglass cleaner to lighten the marks, but they are still visible. Be aware that if LensDirect cancels your order, the lenses you send in may be similarly damaged upon return.
