I saw a pair of Chanel glasses in a high street opticians, which I loved. Sadly they were way out of my price range with the price of ultra thin lenses added on top. I had never considered purchasing prescription lenses online, until I saw something on the news about how much cheaper it was. After a bit of online research I discovered Pret a Voir, and was very pleased to discover my favourite specs for sale at half the price that they are in a high street opticians - even with the thinnest possible...

I originally went online looking for a pair of Tom Ford 5129 in Shiny Black and came across Pretavoir at first was dubious as had been scammed by an American company called EYEWEAR TOWN (Do not use them all fakes!)So I emailed the customer service team to find out about the service they offer and to see whether I could get a discount as the glasses were expensive coming in at £192 just for the frames and the lenses are £20 for the 1.5 MAR lenses. I got an email back from a customer service agent...

I was reluctant to order glasses on-line but with all the positive reviews I ordered a pair of prescription ray-bans. Despite to website saying you would recieve a confimration email once ordered, I didnt recieve anything. After a few days I emailed asking about the status of the order through their 'chat to us' feature - I did not get any reply. I finally managed to speak to someone on-line who told me that the glasses were out of stock, they were sorry I hadnt been notified but would keep me up...

Following this review we have been in touch with customer and have been able to make amends. The following email was received from customer;
I have contacted the review centre to ask them to amend my review. Although I was disaapointed by the initial service I recieved, the subsequent service has been fantastic and I assume it was just an unusual lapse
Thanks again

After having bad experience with other glasses shopping websites, I fortunately decided to give a last chance to glasses internet shopping and ordered Chanel prescription glasses from Pretavoir. The price, service, delivery and product were all exceptionally good and beyond my expectations. When I called to order the glasses, the person who answered my call was attentive, professional and kind, he immediately answered all my prescription regarding questions, and checked availability of the glasses...

I knew the sunnies I wanted beforehand and found Pretavoir online whilst searching for the best price. I was surprised at just how good the pricing was, considerably cheaper than most if not all including a certain auction site yet with a proper 'retail experience' feel. On browsing the site, I received the 'online help' window which was genuinely informative and helpful but never pushy. I thought the website was easy to use and ordered the item online with no problems. I received a call from pretavoir...

This review comes from the USA. After doing much research and reading the reviews, I decided to take a gamble and order a pair of glasses from Pretavoir. Not only was the customer service amazing and helpful, the communication was incredibly prompt and reassuring. Customer service ordered my frames directly from the manufacturer and when they arrived, they emailed me to let me know. I paid and the frames were shipped immediately. They arrived from the UK in 2 weeks! Packaged well and securely. Will...

I have to admit I was a little dubious of the price for such a new style and normally expensive set of Oakley's, however, it proved to be unfounded. I was told they were intially out of stock the day after I placed the order and was given a time they would be sent to me and they were delivered well within the period stated. I was even given the option of reducing this if needed. Overall, the start to finish process was quick, efficient and delivered exactly what I wanted. There was even the nice...

I tried a pair of SuperDry Navigators on in a well known high street optician, and loved them, but was put off by the hard sell on high-index lenses (I am very astigmatic) when the frame itself is pretty chunky and can take a thicker lens, and the extortionate cost of the finished product. I had a quick look online and found Pretavoir. Not only did they stock the frame I wanted, but they were also able to meet my prescription which not all online retailers can. Better still, the total cost of frame,...

This was the first time I ordered prescription glasses online so I was a little apprehensive to start with. I wanted progressive no-line lenses and I also have a little astigmatism, but this was no problem. I have now got my new glasses and they are perfect. I must say that the people at Pretavoir are extremely friendly and their service are fantastic. I have saved a lot of money by ordering my glasses on-line and this is absolutely not the last time I am ordering at Pretavoir. The bigdane....

I would like to say what a great service; I received the glasses in 6 days even though you didn't have my exact pair in stock at the time.

I will definitely be making future purchases for eyeglasses/sunglasses through Pret A Voir. I live in the US and was a bit skeptical about making a purchase for eyeglasses overseas. However, the staff at Pret A Voir was extremely friendly and helpful. My glasses shipped the next day and made it to the US in about 2 days. They cleared from customs in about a week and were at my doorstep. I am extremely happy with my purchase and I would recommend them to anyone....

I never ordered prescription glasses online before so I was a little apprehensive to start with. But this only lasted for a very short time, as Laura from Pretavoir was great! She emailed me a few times to ensure the details were correct, before sending the order to the lab. I received my glasses in three days, just as Laura advised. It's so refreshing to find a great service, at a very good price!! I will definitely use them again!...

I initially inquired about a price match for a a pair of Oliver Peoples sunglasses. I received an immediate reply offering a discount and the best price I could find on the web. Ordering was a simple and easy process. The item I ordered was unfortunately out of stock - I received an immediate email from Kaila advising of this and offering a total refund but was also given dates for restocking and expected delivery. I continued with the order and received my goods in exactly the timeframe stated....

I wanted to write a review so that others know how absolutely amazing Pretavoir are. The customer service is friendly and efficient, I was in contact with Jenna who was super helpful. Prices are really competitive. The order process is quick and simple. I ordered and paid yesterday morning and they arrived well wrapped, securely boxed and by signed for delivery today. I will definitely be recommending Pretavoir to friends and be coming back to buy glasses again. ...

First I want to say that I hate loosing time by making review but with my experience with Pretavoir I can't make a miss. I wanted to buy a pair of frames from Oliver Peoples, I contacted Pretavoir (found thanks to Google) by email about the shipping (I live in France), I had a reply only five minutes later. One week later I had my frames in my letterbox (great packaging). I was so happy, that I ordered another pair identical in case I break the first. Same efficiency, same reliability, each time...

I already have these Chanel sunglasses but they are getting old and scratched. I found what I wanted on your website. All my enquires were answered within two minutes of sending an email (no kidding!!) The glasses where less than half the price I paid for the original pair here in Australia. I paid via PayPal. My glasses arrived less than two weeks after ordering! Thank you! I have recommended your website to others! Will use again....

Jenna and Laura helped me by email to order two frames I had difficulty locating in person in Australia (Oliver Peoples Deacon and Tom Ford 5147s). They were so friendly and answered all of my questions, and I was able to place an order by email that was on my doorstep in nine days. I am so happy with both frames and both are genuine. It was also lovely to see that they were packed with care, and well presented in tissue paper too! I'll definitely be making future orders and recommending Pretavoir...

Whilst most of society is never slow to complain, I think it is also important to give credit to companies who do deliver on service. I have dealt with Pret a Voir twice, and on both occasions their staff have been helpful and polite; their prices have been more than competitive; and their entire service has been a pleasure. They even went out of their way to complete an exchange and return well beyond the length of time they are obligated to do so (I tend to purchase Christmas gifts months in advance,...

Brilliant company with very helpful and informative website. I did a google search for the sunglasses my wife wanted and was pleased to see a video demonstration of the sunglasses and a live chat box where I asked a few questions and got immediate replies. The sunglasses were the cheapest I've seen advertised on the web and together with a 5% discount code they give you and with free delivery what more can you want. They arrived within 2 days of ordering and I really cannot fault anything about...

I found this company on-line after searching high and low for a very specific RayBan Aviator model. From the first glance, they seem to hold a wide range of brands and models (esp RayBans) at very reasonable prices and, more importantly, 99% of the reviews are excellent. I was still sceptical because everything seems too good to be true. Everyone is screaming how good customer service were etc etc etc and so I decided to give them a go with some questions about the RB model/color I was looking for....

Made a purchase from Pretavoir after seeing that their prices were good. Was initially a little worried about the delivery as i live almost halfway round the globe in Singapore. However, the glasses arrived within 14 days as promised and in immaculate quality! The customer service was also attentive and friendly enough to double check on my rather unique optical prescription before sending out the product! Overall, a two thumbs up! The only minor minor issue is that some of the products on the website...

Having worn contacts for about 12 years, I decided that I would prefer to go back to wearing glasses again. I have always had a spare pair, but they have been from high street opticians in the 2-4-1 offers etc. I decided to splash out on these new glasses, and found a pair of Tag Heuer hingeless glasses that I really liked. Only thing was, they were £430 including in the lenses! The same day, I was browsing Quidco when I found pretavoir.co.uk so I thought I'd have a look to see if they had the...

Having been on the search for a particular set of frames for a month now, my only option left was to order from an overseas company. Not usually wanting to go this route, I took a chance and stumbled across Pret A Voir while searching for my frames. The frames I wanted were discontinued (Ralph Lauren Polo, model 2044, colour 5199) and not available at all in Australia and to import them via an optometrist was going to cost me $250 for the frames and extra for lenses to be cut. Pret A Voir not only...

This is the second time I have used Pretavoir to buy Ray Bans in the past few months. This time I ordered two pairs as Christmas presents which arrived in just over 24hrs. One pair was returned as they were too big, the replacement pair arrived within 48hrs of posting them back. Pretty impressive considering I live in the North East of Scotland. Even though Pretavoir prices are very good, shop around and they may price match other sites if you can find cheaper. I highly recommend them, their staff...

Would happily recommend Pretavoir to anyone who needs new glasses or sunglasses.
