“Sunglasses never received”

★☆☆☆☆

written by on 25/09/2012

Ordered sunglasses over 3 weeks ago. Heard nothing from them. Contacted the company by email and left telephone messages but no reply. I have also contacted Nochex which is their payment gateway but they have not replied either. Going to have to go through my bank to get my money back. Order at your own peril!

DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY - Ordered glasses two weeks ago, money taken immediately and received order confirmation straight away. However, never heard from them since. They do not respond to emails, online assistance or telephone calls. Have contacted my bank to refund the payments.

“Poor service”

★☆☆☆☆

written by Doorbs on 24/02/2012

I ordered my prescription sunglasses on the 20th Jan and 2 weeks later had an e-mail asking for the prescription again. I phoned them and they apologised and said I would get notification shortly. I have spent the last week trying to contact them but the phone line does not connect and they have not responded to my e-mails. At this time I don't know if they are still trading.

I found exactly the model of Vuarnet sunglasses that I was looking for when I had been let down by another supplier in the week before Christmas. The glasses were delivered 2 mornings later in time for Christmas.

Ordrered a pair of Bolle Ski Goggles on 2nd December after seeing that they were in stock. No delivery yet and no response to phone messages or emails. Hopefully my credit card provider will refund and get them banned from being a credit card merchant.

“Don't buy from them! We will never get it”

★☆☆☆☆

written by on 16/12/2011

Bought a Oakley sunglasses for 106 because the advertised they had it in stock - dispatch between 3-5 days! After 2 weeks, they say they still waiting for the supplier and 3-5 Days dispatch means that the goods are with the supplier - no it doesn't!!!! Keep blaming the suppliers. Cancelled the order and they ask for 30 days to refund an order that has never been fulfilled. Bought it using paypal so disputing it with them to have a better chance of getting my money back.

“Don't buy from Direct Sunglasses if you want sunglasses”

★☆☆☆☆

written by on 18/11/2011

My daughter had always wanted genuine Ray Ban Wayfarers, so as a twenty first birthdday present we bought he a pair from Direct Sunglasses. BIG MISTAKE!! She was leaving on a two month european trip with friends the day after her birthday, the glasses didn't arrive for her birthday, we were upset but thought well at least she won't lose them! She'll have them to return to. WRONG!! Despite multiple emails, and promises they still haven't arrived, almost 3 months after being ordered AND PAID FOR! Trying to get a refund is impossible, loads of promises but no sunglasses.

“Excellent.”

★★★★★

written by rwgtf on 14/11/2011

I'd seen some bad reviews about failure to deliver and items not being available, despite the website saying that they were in stock. So I phoned them and found them to be very helpful. Confirmed that they were indeed in stock. When the sales advisor told me that she had the goggles in her hand I placed the order. They arrived within 48hrs. So, my experience was absolutely fantastic and at £41 cheap, cheap, cheap! Same item selling for £110 at Snow & Rock.

I ordered and paid a pair of sunglasses for 109£ nearly 3 months ago. After 1 week I phoned them and they told me that the sunglasse will arrive in few days. After 1 month since the order I e-mailed the company and they assured me that the item will be awailable that weekend. After 2 months waiting since my order I canceled it and asked for a refund. I waited 15 days for a refund and than first phoned and than e-mailed them. The answer was

“never buy there again”

★★☆☆☆

written by on 21/10/2011

I made three orders - no problem with delivery but I did not like the third one and sent it back asking for refundation, however it is almost 2 months and my account still has not been credited! I still keep a correspondence with them however they just promise and promise! I will never buy there again! For all customers do not make any refundation otherwise you will never see your money again! maybe thats why the prices are cheaper than other online shops....

“Worst online purchase that I have ever made.”

★☆☆☆☆

written by on 26/09/2011

Bought a pair of rayban sunglasses online for £88.70. Delivery was supposed to be a few days. Payment duly deducted. Nearly two months later, the sunglasses have yet to appear. The telephone number for the website does not work. Emails are replied to (unprofessionally, by someone with very poor written English) relatively promptly saying that there have been "problems with the suppliers", "delivery will be in 3 to 5 working days". This conversation has been had 3 times. I have cancelled the order but am yet to hear whether this will be listened to. There is no cancel facility online. I will be reporting this to trading standards and initiating proceedings with my bank to reclaim payment due to online fraud.

I totally agree - I purchased sunglasses over 6 weeks ago, with payment taken within days, and despite numerous phonecalls and emails with the same response as yourself (difficulties with supplier, should be sent in the coming few days) I am yet to receive the sunglasses. My holiday has since been and gone and they are no longer responding to any emails. I do not know how to get my money back. I DO NOT RECOMMEND BUYING FROM DIRECT SUNGLASSES!!!!

I have had exactly the same experience with this company. I will also be making contact with trading standards and I urge you all to do the same. As it seems they have used the same script on us all from supply issues to the 4 week wait.

Exactly the same appalling service I have received!
Payment was taken within hours and they have held my money for 3 months with no delivery of goods.

I have now canceled the order, which will take 4 weeks to refund!?! I have never known ANY successful retail business that has asked my to wait as ridiculous a length of time as this to simply have my own money back when they are aware they cannot fulfill what is being requested of them. It's literally daylight robbery.

My refund is due tomorrow, and I hold little hope for a good result.

If you want to speak with someone the only option is to call Accuity Opticians who seem to be the same company. Call this number 020 8979 2403. Although if you get the same service I have you will be no better off. Over all sickeningly bad company. I cannot say this enough - DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY!!!!
