“Fast delivery, good quality of lenses thinner than expected and most important, reasonable price cheaper than high street retailers.”

“I'm very pleased with every aspect of purchasing my new lenses with Newlenses.co.uk and would thoroughly recommend them. Never again will I get ripped off at an optician!”

“Pathetic service. Be warned! Took double the length of time quoted over the phone to me. They lost my frames, and lied about being reasoning behind this, blaming the postal service. Not impressed. Everytime I contacted the company to find out information about where my frames were, they couldn't tell me anything, only what was on their 'screen'. I was not offered any compensation for the companies incompetence, despite talking to the director of the company himself. Miserable experience, grim customer service.”

Hi George. Thank you for your review, however we do have to defend against statements which are untrue. We categorically did not lose your frames, Royal Mail had a 1 day delay in sending them to us. We do not lie to customers, it is not in anyone's interests to do so. We gave you continuous updates on the expected timeline for your glasses, and the reason why they were taking a bit longer than usual, due to the complex nature of the lenses you had chosen. We did not get any request for "compensation", but I hope you agree that the new lenses are excellent quality and value at £30. Please let us know if there is anything we can help you with again in the future.

“Very unhappy with the customer care of this company! If you can refrain to use this company! I Placed my order for re/glazing my old frames. Order has been received on 16.4 and since then I call the company several times when to expect my orders because of Easter holidays. I have been told that all orders will be delivered within two weeks and most of them even earlier than that - apparently within week. My prescription (the cyl) is strong, so after Easter brake I called them again and ask if the order will be delivered to me by my planed holiday which is actually booked in two weeks (since Easter). The representative told me, that it will be definitely with me by that time. This week (a week after Easter) I called again where is my order and when it will be delivered. I have been told by very arrogant gentlemen, literally that the order will arrive when it will arrive. And that what I actually want... Some other representative of this company send me email and explain there, that it takes while to order my new lenses as the prescription is very strong and they need to manufacture it. So because they have not been able estimated delivery day I will need someone to drive me when I am going away, as I can not drive without my glasses! They totally mess up with my plans! What is the really sad about this experience, that there hasn't been used even once word sorry or apologies or even just simple try to accommodate my needs. Just strongly advice everyone stay away from this company if you need your glasses soon! And after this whole experience I wouldn't recommend it even as a long waiting solution for re-glazing.”

Hi Lubomir, thank you for taking the time to write a review and I'm extremely sorry that you felt you had a bad experience. Please allow us put our side of the story for completeness. As you know, you decided to change your order half way through to high index lenses with a blue tint and MAR coatings. The order change introduced a delay as we had already started on the lenses. Additionally, please be aware that a 50% blue tint together with high index lenses and coatings is a complex lens as there are many stages to the manufacture, so this takes 7-10 days approx., and we had the Easter break inbetween so the lab was closed for the long weekend. I do apologise that our customer service helpline gave inconsistent answers and we shall certainly be investigating this to ensure that doesn't happen again. Despite what you might think, we do truly strive to give the best customer service (and best products) and most of the time we achieve that, however sometimes things don't go quite as smoothly as it should. I'm genuinely sorry again that you aren't happy, do please get in touch if there is anything we can do to help you in the future. Kind regards, Adam

“Very helpful staff. They sorted a problem over delivery to their factory and kept me informed. Good service, but took more prompting on my part than I would have expected. Overall, the result was excellent. The timing thing was probably a one off.”

“Order n. #300000414 - Glasses are ok and shipped very fast. The lenses have been assembled correctly and without scratches. -1 star because, perhaps, international shipping should use a tracking service. I waited about 10 days without knowing where the package was. However, the store was willing to send another pair of glasses if they didn't arrive. Replies to emails were not very fast, but still acceptable, within 48 hours.”

“A Tad difficult to get hold of via sales e-mail to get a repeat prescription, but once I tried the support e-mail all went fab, got my repeat prescription in only a few days. Great value and great glasses”

“I sent my frames off to Newlenses using a tracked postal service. Fortunately, I'm glad I did as the tracking revealed they tried to deliver but no one available to sign for them. After scrolling through the terms and conditions of Newlenses, I found in very small print, a contact telephone number. I phoned and was told due to staff sickness on that day, no one was available to receive my frames. However, they did go out of their way to retrieve them from the local post office and assured me I would have them sent back very soon fitted with my lenses. Sure enough, they arrived promptly and in a nice new glasses case which I didn't have before. The lenses are perfect and included a new set of nose bridge plates with a cleaning cloth. Very pleased with the price and quality. Just wish their contact telephone number was more easily displayed.”

“Ordered 3 pairs of tinted lenses (Reglaze). Firstly i noticed that the tints weren't as expected (On one i ordered a 'Lightest' Yellow tint for computer work which turned out basically the same colour as canary melons..... far, far too dark). Secondly, and dangerously, i ordered and paid for anti-reflective and UV protection coatings on all three glasses... Not one of these lenses received any coatings... which is actually quite dangerous with dark tinted lenses or sunglasses as the pupil dilates and allows in more UV light, which must be filtered or risk serious eye damage now and in future. As of now i'm in contact with NewLenses customer care which is proving to be stressful, dismissive and anxiety provoking. Consider the two stars for good delivery and speedy service. Yet, not a good experience at all and a birthday present delayed at least, ruined at most. I'm holding out hope that NewLenses can regain my broken trust.”

“Good communication. However glasses were returned with arms loose so they now slide down my nose. They were a perfect fit before I sent them off so I now have to get them tightened potentially at additional cost.”
