Last time I used this company I waited…

Last time I used this company I waited for a fortnight for the box to send my glasses in, then after another week they couldn't read the prescription from the glasses,I got the prescription from spesavers, sent it in and waited for another 10 days, to recieve my glasses. I gave them a second chance,so more than a month ago I sent off my money and waited for the box which arrived eventually
then sent on glasses , got an email from poor Dan who's the only man in the country under pressure,and its going to take another fortnight if I want to continue with my order. I say grand , whatever! ,but once again I've been asked to review this company before I've got my glasses back.I'm
happy with the job lensbuild did for me last time, but they are too stressful to be dealing with! I'll be delighted if i get my glasses back from lensbuild, but I wont be using lensbuild again.

AWFUL

Absolutely atrocious customer service and general service. Do not use this company. Its been a month and I haven't received my glasses yet. It took 5 emails to be sent to them to get a response and whoever was emailing me was incredibly rude and unhelpful. Absolute nonsense. Once I did get an email back I still got no information as to where my glasses are or when I will receive them.

Hi Lucia, disappointed that you chose to leave a review despite our conversations. It was explained that due to reasons beyond our control with supply and process, we have regrettably ceased our services for the time being. We had explained this to Lucia and apologised profusely, expressing our sadness at having take such action. I understand your glasses are two weeks late, but had expected some level of understanding and empathy. Anyway, glasses will be with you by Wednesday latest. Kind regards, Dan

Stunning job

I recently used their service for my old Paul Smith sunglasses. they replaced the lenses with a new one and polarised. It took sometime, but the job was well made. I received sunglasses in a very nice package. Best service ever! just be patient if it takes longer.

New lenses

I found the Lensbuild page on Facebook a few years ago and since then I've used them 3 times and all I can say is that they offer a great service and value for money. I can't see me using an optician for lenses in the future.

Hi Malachy, how are you? No emails received unfortunately. Your lenses are very much out of stock range (+10.00) and need to be custom made which adds to the timeline. Please get in touch with support@lensbuild.com for updates as there is also an issue with your payment which has delayed this also.

Great product, shocking customer service

Ordered lenses after seeing delivery time was 3-5 working days, finally got my glasses back 7 weeks later after several phone calls and text messages (emails weren't responded to at all). When they were finally posted I received a text message saying they were en route and I would be refunded half the cost as an apology for the delay and the hassle. That was 3 weeks ago, still no refund and no answer to messages sent.
My glasses are perfect so no complaints about the product but customer service is shocking.

Hi Danielle, how are you? Unfortunately with this order, heights weren't provided for the varifocal lenses. We can usually calculate from the existing lenses but in this case, there were demo lenses in the frame. That being said, we should have got have in touch sooner and solved this problem. Regarding the refund, as we've chatted about, seems to have been a tech issue with PayPal but has now been sorted.

Took about 3 weeks once they received my frames, but communication wasn't great and chased a couple of times for an update with no response.
In the end the glasses have been shipped to my billing address rather than my shipping address so I don't have them yet.

Easy to use

Easy to use. Box arrived for glasses and were returned back in the post by beautiful well presented box.
Worked out considerably cheaper than most of the many major retail shops,including the chains.
This could do for lenses what buying a mobile phone with out being attached to a set network SIM,did to mobile phone market.
Would recommend this service.

I would highly recommend Lensbuild, fast, reliable and great value service, great communication with customer, everything just worked and smoothly. The quality of the lens fitted is excellent especially given the price point. I fully intend to keep using Lensbuild.
