I have used this company for some years and have had excellent service each and every time. It’s possible to speak to a human being (a rarity these days) they are a joy to deal with.

Excellent FAST service at a very good price. My wife and i use use these for glasses and to re glaze frames which they have provided an excellent and personal service. We love clic glasses which we buy from Italy and get them re glazed here at a reasonable price and VERY fast service. Lynsey is always extremely helpful and has corrected our mistakes without comment, thank you.

Look No Further...

An honest, decent and good value for money purveyor of spectacles in the UK.

I have always had exemplary service and I am a fussy, demanding and verbose customer. Specs by Post are always patient, polite, practical and understand my parsimonious nature.

The best out there

I've been using Specs by Post for years. They are my go to for when I need glasses without having to take out a mortgage application to buy them. In a recent case, I broke my glasses that I wear indoors. I ordered a replacement on Thursday night and on Saturday morning my glasses were delivered. Absolutely spot on top drawer service.

Specs by Post is my ‘go to store’

Specs by Post is my ‘go to store’. About 18 months ago I had trouble logging into the site. I was pleasantly surprised when, without me raising the query, a member of staff contacted me and sorted it out. Yesterday, 5th September, I wanted to order some particular specs but they were out of stock. I emailed the company to ask when stock would be replenished. Within 20 minutes, the same lady (as 18 months ago) replied; more stock had arrived while I sent my query.
So helpful. Prices are more reasonable than some other on line companies (for the same specs actually). For me the customer service is great, you interact with a human being, and it’s not a delayed ‘chat’. I’m not sure if I can mention names but from the date of my enquiry I hope this review reaches the managing director, Mr Carl Morley (yep, I’ve just checked who is in charge). I had another email confirming my order had arrived and was physically being taken to the lab. Great service.

Excellent

I had damaged my fave specs which are transition lensed, and wanted them reglazed, but whilst looking at the site also decided to treat myself to a new pair.
I sent the old pair on Thursday, and ordered the new ones same day, emailing my prescription.
By Monday I received both specs. the new ones are gorgeous, and my faves just as good as new.
Communication with this company is excellent throughout, and prices are very reasonable.
Equally the quality of their specs has always been good.

Outstanding Service

I sent three frames for reglazing including one for tinted sunglasses.
Outstanding communication from Linsey and extremely helpful too.
The quality of the "grinding" of the lenses to fit the frames was superb, very neat and smooth. My sunglasses' colour tint was matched perfectly, just as I had asked for.
My order was turned around in a matter of hours and shipped back to me the same day.
Specs-By-Post is an effortless service to use, Linsey checks everything and will mention any anomalies she has picked up, when she rings to take the card payment. Lindsey explains everything in non technical language.
I have used Specs-By-Post several times in previous years and I have never been disappointed.
Their prices for reglazing are good value too.

Excellent service by Linsey

Excellent service. Wonderful to speak with Linsey who was brilliant.
Glasses arrived promptly and are of great quality. Having worn Silhouette rimless varifocals for years, I was nervous that the cheaper ones wouldn’t match up. However, am delighted and the company is highly recommended

5 stars - absolute understatement

5 stars - absolute understatement.

April 23rd: I filled out the relevant form found on the website and sent it along with my glasses via Royal Mail First Class which costed me around £4.90 or so.

April 24th: I received a phone call from Linsey informing me that they had received my glasses (woohoo) and that they were now in a position to take payment from me via debit card which I was happy to do. Once I made the payment, I received an email confirmation of this which I always appreciate receiving without having to ask.

April 26th: I received a phone a call from Linsey informing me that my glasses were ready to be shipped back out to me - only 2 days after they received them!

April 27th: I received my glasses and was happy as larry.

Absolutely amazed by the service, communication and care. A first time customer but now a life long member.

Thank you very much for your help.

If any of you out there are on the fence please do not be. Many many companies out there could learn a thing or two from these guys. Superb.

Excellent specs with excellent service

Excellent specs with excellent service. I received them in a decent time frame and they are very comfortable to wear and lightweight.

I ordered another pair at the same time from a different company. 3 weeks later and I still haven't received them. Ordinary prescription. If I had known the time it would have taken I would have thought twice. Specs by Post is definitely recommended. This is my second pair that I have bought over the years and I will consider them again before the other ones.

This is a great place to buy your specs, I have been using them for a number of years and never had any issues or problems. Much cheaper than buying specs from a high street opticians, and always excellent quality. Recommended.

Brilliant Service …

This is the second time I have placed an order with Specs-By-Post and I am very pleased with their service again. The speed and quality of their lens and glasses are the best. I placed my latest order after 5pm on Tuesday after having an eye test and a new prescription during the day. Lindsey phoned me straight away to confirm that they had received an email copy of the new prescription. The next day, (Wednesday) I received confirmation that my new glasses had been dispatched and today (Thursday) I received the glasses in the post. Brilliant and excellent service, I shall certainly use Specs-By-Post again. In fact my wife is due an eye test soon and if she requires a new prescription she will also be ordering a new pair of Varifocals from Specs-By-Post.
