Would definitely recommend

This was the first time I have brought glasses online before. Mad About Specs was very helpful when I needed help with all the info to send them. And after everything was sorted the glasses arrived within a week. Would definitely use them again.

Excellent service

I have used Mad About Specs a few times and have received nothing but an excellent service each time. Always updated on the progress of the order. Customer service is always very responsive and helpful.

I was over the moon with the whole service from Mad About Specs. I find it difficult to find glasses that fits and suits me. The frames were described accurately on the website which saved me time. I was kept up to date with my order, so I'm very happy with my new specs!

This is the second time I’ve purchased glasses from Mad About Specs and wouldn’t go anywhere else. Two pairs of glasses on each order as I just couldn’t decide what ones where my favourite but they are such good quality and style. Mad About Specs staff members are exceptional and are always available to answer questions or queries which is really good. If you’re not sure about ordering glasses online, DO IT, you will not regret it and you’ll never look back.

Love the style of my glasses and…

Love the style of my glasses and inputting my prescription was straight - forward. I'd also ordered the trial box before purchasing which arrived quickly. Customer service was friendly and helpful too!

There are anomalies within their system…

There are anomalies within their system - order process etc - and I ended up being charged more than I thought and blamed for the anomalies. Got a note to say I will received a credit for the difference and although I provided screenshots of where their process went wrong - never got acknowledgement from their side - or the rest of my refund.

First part of the process - slick and easy - glasses arrived fine, so that part of the process is good. But if you are a customer who has an issue - not so smooth.

Overall good process and good company but they need to improve their path in the ecommerce process when things don't work out as the proverbial "happy path'

Hi Madelie,

We are very sorry to hear you had a poor experience with us.

In this particular situation, we noticed that you have placed a home trial order with us, and upon receiving it back, we realised that you have chosen to keep the Lamacq frame in the Dark Tortoise colour (great choice, by the way!). As you kept them, we charged the verified card used on the home trial order.
A few days later, we saw that you placed an order for the Lamacq frames in Electric Blue, which we then realised was made by mistake, as we later understood you were trying to pay for the Tortoise frames. As you used a discount code on the payment for the Blue frames, we refunded you this total with the discount code.
You then pointed out that we have refunded you £68 (discounted total for the Blue frames) and sent us a screenshot of a bank statement showing us a charge of £85 (which corresponded to the Lamacq Tortoise frame initially charged), and we explained why this was the case, but that we would speak to our accounts team and refund you the rest as an exception, because accidents happen and we are fully aware of this.

As we take these matters very seriously, we requested our tech team investigate this, and they have given the all clear with our website and e-commerce platform. It was a genuine mistake was made and dealt with as quickly and efficiently as possible and you received your refund.

However, all feedback is good feedback, and we will use it to improve our communication channels so that we can offer the best possible customer service at all times.
We hope that, in the future, you will return to us and we will make sure that you have a better experience :)

Kind regards,
Nuno (he/him)

Perfect!

Brilliant company and customer service. I've never had so many compliments on a pair of glasses! When I went to order a second pair the team were very friendly and incredibly helpful, thank you again to Nuno and the rest of the team :)

Loved buying from Mad About Specs

Loved buying from Mad About Specs. Especially loved the glasses trial, it was easy to use and made me feel way more comfortable purchase. I was also kept up to date during all steps so I knew exactly where my glasses were up too. Would recommend to anyone looking to buy new glasses
