Took 3 weeks to arrive, for frames with no lenses
Delivered, frames as advertised. But took 3 weeks -- longer than the 5-7 working days stated for a standard order with regular lenses, and this order did not require any lenses at all.
Suitably apologetic when eventually sent, but left wondering whether it would have even been noticed without a prod to enquire where the order has got to.

Easy process, love the glasses
So nice to be able to try the glasses for free before you commit to buying. A great range of frames. The buying process was straightforward and the team got in touch once I had made my purchase to confirm everything and check measurements so that the glasses were correct.

Reply from Mad About Specs
Dear Mr L
We are terribly sorry to hear that you are unhappy with our service.
As you know, your varifocal lenses did arrive from the lab, but they came in a few mm smaller. This meant that your PD would have been compromised if made. This would create a risk of putting strain on your eyes.
We could not go ahead and make them like this.
It would not be ethically right.
This is why the lab were instructed to remake them. This does take 10 working days.
We have not yet received your lenses, but should be with us any day now.
Please allow us to look into this in the morning and come back to you via email.
We're here to help.
Kind Regards,
Mad About Specs Team

Ordered sunglasses
Ordered sunglasses, when received they didn’t feel right, I couldn’t see out of them, I sent them back and they had the wrong prescription,
Had to ask to get my postage back, no compensation offered, very disappointed

Dear Kim,
Thank you so much for your feedback.
We are very sorry to hear that you have not been happy with our service.
We do take customer care very seriously.
Unfortunately, one of the lenses was out by 1, and via human error this was missed. This this was rectified immediately when brought to our attention within the time frame for your holiday.
This was your 2nd purchase from us, and for that we truly value you.
We have reached out to you via email too. We hope to see you again soon, and for you to have a much happier experience.
Kindest regards,
Mad About Specs Team
Great customer service
Super easy process, very friendly and helpful customer service. Delivery of home trial was very quick and helped me choose glasses I might not have thought of! The quality of the glasses is great, would definitely recommend.

The glasses are absolutely superb, this is my 4th pair, but the dispatch definitely needs looking at

Happy I found Mad About Specs
I live in the U.S. and was unable to find a replacement anywhere in the states for a pair of Goldsmith glasses my friend destroyed sitting on them in my car. Mad About Specs had the exact pair and promptly dispatched within a few days. The price was reasonable and free shipping.
I will shop with them again!

Fantastic Service Again
Once again Mad About Specs have done fantastic with my new glasses. They kept me in touch with the progress of my order and when they arrived, they were excellent quality and fit with a perfect prescription. I cannot recommend Mad About Specs enough.
