Your review of FramesDirect.com was incredibly informative! I appreciated the detailed analysis of their offerings and user experience. I'm definitely bookmarking this site for my next pair of glasses! Before sometime, I used products from Dolabany dolabanyeyewear that were very budget-friendly.

Would give this provider zero stars if I could. Bought a $500 pair of glasses in 2019. About a month ago the protective outer layer of the lenses started flaking and pealing off. The warranty on the glasses is one year. I owned them for 1 year 4 months.
Wrote to customer service and asked for special consideration since this is obviously a material defect not damage caused by breakage.
Got a one sentence answer basically telling me I'm screwed.
$500 down the drain.
In my opinion, the quality of their lenses are poor and so is the customer service. Don't buy from this vendor.
Pros
Lots of frame styles to choose from. Found a specific frame style I had been searching for
Cons
Poor quality lens, protective coating falling off after just over 1 year use
If I could, I would give it 0 stars. I ordered frames from Frames Direct.com on Jan 13th, 2020. On their website they said it would take 3-5 business day to receive my frames. Immediately when I ordered the frames, I received an email that the frames were in back order, which was not posted on their website. It said I would receive my frames by Jan 30th. Jan 30th came around and no frames yet. I called customer service and they told me that I would receive it Feb 11th. I was sending emails to a person by the name of Vickie M., E-Commerce Customer Service Optician, and she continued to lie in the emails saying that they received my order on the 30th but it was damages and they had return it to the manufacturer which was in China. I didn't believe her. On February 11th, Angelic, another representative over the phone, told me I would be receiving it expedited in 3 to 5 business day. Then I called on the 12th, and they told me they pushed my order back to February 28th. I've been dealing with this for about a month. I am letting everyone know to not believe the reviews on their website because they are fake. They also misrepresent by stating they do price match, which is a lie, because when you give them the website of same frames that are a cheaper price, they do not want to match it. Also be aware that they do not have the frames in stock, so you might want to call first to find out since their website does not indicate when frames are on back order. They do not provide you with tracking at all.
Pros
WIDE SELECTION
Cons
THEY DO NOT CARRY INVENTORY. SEEMS EVERYTHING IS BACK ORDERED
Can I give Zero stars? I purchased Ray-Ban sunglasses from Frames Direct but I might as well have gone to the gas station to buy some $10 glasses instead. I have worn Ray Ban for years and I'm telling you, the $240 "Ray Bans" I received from this company are not the real deal. Not even close. They refuse to accept a return unless I pay $40. Huge rip off - AVOID! AVOID! AVOID!
f I could give them no stars I would. Been waiting for a correct pair of glasses since April 14. This company couldn’t care less that they made a mistake producing my glasses the first time then instead of expedited service to correct their mistake it has now taken longer to get the second (supposed) correct pair than it took to get the first. When I called to inquire about the status and asked to speak with someone who might expedite matters I would have to wait for 24-48 hours for a callback from a supervisor. This company has had my money for over a month and I have no glasses. Complete lack of care for customer service.
