Good Points: Cheap

Bad Points: Buying glasses online is risky. Cost advantage is outweighed by the lack of after sales service

General comments: I ordered 2 pairs of bifocal glasses from Spectacles Direct. One pair were rimless and the other for use as sunglasses. Total cost £137.50 which was a big saving on most high street prices. The problem was that when they arrived the sunglasses were very heavy and the tint was poor. The arms on the rimless glasses had not been set properly, which made them awkward to put on.
One of the disadvantages with living in Chester and buying online from a supplier in Edinburgh means that if anything is wrong you have to contact them, confirm the problem in writing, parcel them up and send them back. It is just too much hassle, so I persevered with my glasses until I could stand them no longer and attempted to adjust the wonky arm myself, which resulted in the plastic lens breaking.
As they already had my details I thought I would contact Spectacles Direct in the hope that they would be sympathetic and perhaps offer a small goodwill gesture. They didn ' t and to add insult to injury I was informed that their prices had gone up!
My advice is, buy from a local opticians. They may at first appear more expensive but they are convenient and will adjust your glasses and make sure they fit, which won ' t cost you a penny.
Remember: Buy on Price " Buy Twice!!!

I ordered some glasses from Spectacles Direct and I couldn't believe the price. I would normally pay over £200 for my spectacles. I was very impressed with the quality and speed of service. Highly recommended.
