Competitive prices & good service

I’ve been ordering my contact lenses from Alensa for a couple of years now, as they are usually the most competitive on price for my multifocal lenses. The free gift is a nice touch.

Dispatch is always fast and reliable.

Terrible service

Delivery is prompt but sadly that is where the positive experience ends.
I had an issue with the contact lenses drying out my eyes, Customer service tells me that I ordered the wrong prescription (despite confirmation from vision express that it was correct).
I returned the lenses at my own cost and now have no lenses and no refund.
Terrible service.

Hello Arron,

We are sorry to hear about your experience.

We have carefully reviewed the details of your order and the provided prescriptions. At the time of your order, no contact lens prescription had been provided - only a glasses prescription, which requires conversion for lenses. After conversion, it appeared that the parameters you selected did not match the prescription.

Subsequently, a new prescription was provided from Vision Express, after your claim. This prescription does not include the necessary multifocal parameters (ADD power) and shows different power values from what was ordered. Additionally, the base curve of the lenses purchased appears to be different form the recommended one on your prescription.

As stated in our Terms and Conditions, contact lenses are medical products and cannot be refunded once the package has been opened and used. We understand this is frustrating, which is why we offered some store credit as compensation.

We always encourage customers to ensure they have a valid and up-to-date prescription before purchasing lenses, to avoid discomfort or incompatibility and to purchase only the brand of lenses which has been recommended by their specialist. We appreciate your feedback and hope this clarifies the situation.

Kind regards,
Alensa Customer Service Team

Run away!!! This company is unreliable. company I…

This is undoubtedly the worst company I have ever done business with. I bought a frame and it simply hasn't arrived. All I get are excuses and the company pushing the problem onto the shipping company. 7 days waiting and nothing, no information or help, and I even paid for shipping. The worst hell on Earth for a company that claims to do business online but is incapable of doing so.

Dear João,

we are sorry to hear that you have had troubles with your order, and we do apologize deeply for such. Please, send us your order number alongside your complaint to info@alensa.co.uk and we will be happy to look into it for you.

Usually, delivery takes 2-4 business days, with the glasses needing 1-2 more days for an internal transfer - all of this information is available on our website upon placing an order (both the estimated dispatch time and the delivery time).

If the delivery time is past its advertised timeframe, please, contact us, so that we could urge delivery and seek some form of compensation for your troubles.

Still waiting for delivery after a week

Update: I spoke to Alensa. The process was a bit complicated but they did indeed refund me.

I placed a large order that was supposed to be delivered last week within 24h with Royal Mail 24h tracked. Parcel Force claimed they attempted to deliver on Sat, when I was at home all day, but miraculously failed to leave a note as proof of attempted delivery. I asked them to deliver today and I again haven't heard a peep from them.

Please investigate what is going on with my parcel FI142968393GB. If I do not receive the parcel within 24h and communication from the company, I will contest the transaction with my card company.

Please note that my contract for timely delivery of products is with you as a company, not with Royal Mail/Parcelforce so it is your responsibility to ensure I receive the products on time.

I might be spoiled by competitors

I might be spoiled by competitors, but 4 days for delivery is too long. They also don't make this clear prior to ordering, and there is no way to cancel or amend your order online.

Hello,

Thank you for your feedback.

We are sorry to hear that the delivery time didn’t meet your expectations. Our standard delivery timeframe is shown on the checkout page before payment, as well as in our Delivery Times & Costs information page, however we understand that waiting a few days can feel long, especially if you’re used to faster options elsewhere.

We are always looking for ways to improve the shopping experience. While currently, orders cannot currently be amended or canceled online once placed, our customer support team is available to assist whenever possible.

We appreciate your feedback and we hope to provide you with a smoother experience next time. If you need any assistance, feel free to contact us.

SCAMMERS

SCAMMERS. They operate under a fake address in the UK but their work is in Czech Republic. My glasses were poorly manufactured. I was told to return them for a refund. 50 days later they are still telling me they are being inspected and they won’t refund me. They are being investigated for fraud so don’t use this company.

Hello Richard,

We are sorry to hear about your negative experience.

We would like to clarify that our operational locations are clearly stated on our website and in our Terms and Conditions. Regarding your order, we can confirm that your case has been fully resolved, including a refund for both the glasses and the return postage.

As explained in our return policy and on our complaints/returns information page, returns of glasses - particularly those related to a complaint - may take slightly longer due to the need for a thorough quality inspection.

We regret that the timeline caused you concern, but we can assure you that no fraudulent activity has taken place. Your case was handled in accordance with our standard procedures, and we are always available should you have any further questions.

Kind regards,
Customer Service Team
