NOPE!! Red flags abound, STEER CLEAR
I ordered 2 pairs of prescription glasses and a case on 12/13/22, and regret it. Their website promises 2 weeks shipping on one page, but then says 7-10 days processing and another separate 14-20 days shipping on to of that on another page, neither of which mention where the shipping comes from in the first place. I wish I’d seen that before I ordered with them because those are just red flags 1 & 2. The provided tracking information from the seller claims it “arrived at shipping partner facility, USPS awaiting” but it’s been stuck at Addison TX in that limbo since the 19th, and USPS doesn’t have it. I contacted the seller’s customer service email and was given no answers. Instead they totally sidestepped my concerns and tossed out a lame excuse about how “ports are backed up”—but if it’s already in my state as they imply (but notably never actually say), no ports would be involved: Red flags 3-5. Throughly suspicious now, I started digging them up online and finally got a lead when I saw the USPS gov site showed the carrier as a third party company called “Fast Track Express, Inc.” when I entered the tracking they gave me. I looked up that carrier and eventually found a Reddit post explaining how that carrier is in China, known for looong shipping times and even scams, and how to check where my package ACTUALLY was. Use the site trackingmore.com and select “Ltexp” as the carrier first, then enter your tracking number and search. (If you let it auto-detect the carrier it will still say usps with only the fraudulent info of where they want you to think it is, but that’s only where the USPS label is!! It’s loophole BS to buy time. They slap that label over your item if/when it reaches the US location stated by USPS and hide the real overseas shipping times and locations prior to that from everyone who doesn’t obsessively dig at an obvious lie until they find how to see that info like I did, and my thanks to Reddit for helping!) The actual location of my glasses is and has a Shanghai port this whole time! I emailed them again, this time with screenshots of my findings and asked them to explain why they’d deceived me from the start (I need those new glasses to relieve eye strain headaches, I’m legally blind without glasses and never would have ordered from them had I known the actual ETA!) They gave me a worse brush off than the first one, simply sending the exact same fraudulent tracking link and literally saying “don’t worry”. No explanation, no answer, no apologies, just the lie I already caught them in and a dismissal. After getting that response, I checked the trackingmore progress again, but there wasn’t any new info since Shanghai 15 days prior. So, since there’s no way to leave reviews on the site Lensmartonline.com (yet another red flag there!) I’m writing one here to hopefully save others the fiasco of their abysmal service and deliberate deception. I will be filing a dispute with my bank.
