Great choice and fast delivery

I found BioMedics 1 day contact lenses here for a great price. For some reason, it became harder to find these particular contacts elsewhere in different packs (30, 60, 90), but Alensa seems to always have them, which is great. I like the option of the InPost (locker) delivery, which suits me perfectly price wise. I recommend Alensa.

Absolutely useless! Ordered glasses and lenses which took weeks to arrive.
When received the lenses were nothing like the prescription given so were returned.
Over 4 weeks with no communication I had to resolve to paypal to get a refund.

Dear Matt,

we are sorry to hear that, and we do apologize deeply for any and all inconveniences. We always strive to provide the best possible services to our customers, and it saddens us we were not able to satisfy your expectations. It is not typical for us to not communicate with our customers, especially when they have issues with our products and would like to file a claim on them - we see that we have communicated with you regarding this issue, and that a full refund was issued from our side on 22.09. after your glasses were returned and received successfully. If there are any further claims or issues you have with our products or services, we would love to help you - please, reach out to us at info@alensa.co.uk.

Sunglasses are seconds or fakes but NOT first quality

Glasses arrived. They are seconds, I bought Burberry sunglasses, whilst they have burberry on the lens, they do not have the signature check on the arms and as shown in the photographs on Alensa’s own website. I am expected to pay for the return of good which are not as shown and are ultimately seconds.
I am still waiting for my refund - many excuses, had to get my credit card company to assist!
A whole week since my return was delivered and. o communication from Alensa. Please note if you go to google maps to see the rerun address, it is simply a semi detached house. Further evidence that this is a scam shop

Dear Joanne,

we are sorry to hear that the quality of our products did not meet your expectations, and we do apologize deeply for that. Please, return the faulty item back to us for a review and a reimbursement. As we are currently working on our returns system, the only way for now to return a faulty product is via a tracked post, for which we will later refund your money once the claim is approved. We do apologize for that, and we hope that you could facilitate such return at your own costs that we would refund immediately upon receiving and reviewing the product. Please, contact us at info@alensa.co.uk should you need further assistance with your return, or any other issue you would happen be experiencing with our items or services.

Hello Malcolm,

Thank you for your review. We are sorry for the inconvenience caused by the size discrepancy within your order. As soon as your return was received, we issued a full refund for the product in line with our standard procedure.

We understand your concern about the return postage. However, as explained in our communication, our policy – which follows statutory withdrawal regulations – does not cover return postage costs. This is also outlined in our terms and conditions and the page explaining the returns process.

While we regret that this has caused disappointment, we appreciate your feedback and will continue working on ways to improve clarity and customer experience.

Kind regards,
Alensa Customer Service Team

Hello Belinda,

Thank you for sharing your feedback. We are sorry to hear you were disappointed with the delivery time.

We would like to clarify that your order placed on Friday, 15/08 was dispatched the very same day in the afternoon. As stated on our website, InPost deliveries typically take 2–4 working days after dispatch (the stated timeframe on the website also takes into account that parcels travel from outside the UK before reaching their destination). Your parcel was delivered on 20/08, which was the 3rd working day after dispatch and therefore within the expected timeframe.

Although we understand it may have felt slower than expected, please note that your order was delivered within the timeframe outlined at checkout.

We hope this helps clarify the timeline and we appreciate your understanding.

Kind regards,
Alensa Customer Service Team

Not a reassuring customer experience

I called them after making a contact lense order. I had selected + instead of - on my prescription by mistake. The adviser advised of the amendment being sent to his stores. 15 minutes later I receive an email confirming dispatch of the wrongly made order. I called the alensa adviser again who quoted that the order was still with them and that he will have this amended but was not very sure of this.

Update 2/9/25

I have received an email from Alensa advising of not being able to amend my order. This is not recorded with royalmail as on route yet and obviously sitting in the Alensa stores. Won't go the extra mile for a customer then I will not be using their service again.

Reply to Alensa reply:

On checking the Royalmail tracking information only 1 hour ago on 3/9/25. This showing advised of and expecting parcel today! Again this backs the lack of finding and amending the order in your stores. The 24 hour parcel is advised to being expected on 5/9/25! More lip service! For the sakes of a £10 pack of contact lenses! Embarrassing for such a large company that fails it's customer through bone idle responses!

Hello Mr Tom,

Thank you for sharing your feedback, and we are truly sorry to hear about your experience.

This order appears to have been placed in the evening of 01/09, and the issue was reported to us the following day around noon. At that point, the order had already been scheduled for departure. Our colleague did request for the parcel to be stopped from being sent, but unfortunately it was too late for that to be done and the parcel was already en route to the couriers and no longer in our possession.

Please also note that our parcels travel from abroad, and Royal Mail only receives the shipments 1–2 working days after dispatch. This is why the tracking link may not immediately display updates, even though the item has already left our warehouse.

We understand your frustration and regret that we could not accommodate the amendment in this case. We will use your feedback to further improve our service and communication.


Kind regards,
Alensa Customer Service Team
