Outstanding service from the Oxford store - again! Went to get old glasses tightened a little, spotted a pair of glasses I liked, got a same day eye test where Zara the optomitrest did a great job, ordered my glasses and all's good to go. The front of house team could not have been lovelier and the senior colleague was really patient and kind as he explained what to do for his less experienced colleagues.

Good looking frames very good service

Update: service is impecable and staff very friendly. They will change my lenses after the 30 days period and fit my glasses when back in London

I originally gave 3 stars because of dissapointment. However, I changed my rating to 5 stars for them going above and beyond. I really do hope they will be a good fit after my next trip to London :)

Original message:
Got the Dylan large fit, very beautiful frames. I regret buying the prescription lenses as I cannot see through them. I believe is the focal distance that is wrong as if I look through just one eye I can read. I am glad I didn't buy the multi focal ones as they charge 400£ for them (or with the frames, however a lot). I need to reglaze them and getting the multifocal here will cost less. Nevertheless I have lost around 40£ as I am not from London and I don't know how to return just the lenses (I am still in my 30 days since receiving them but the frames are nice) I have to go around now and see if I can get some similar frames to return them or just keep them and reglaze.

Slow delivery and glasses are faulty.

The delivery was very slow and I only got updated by customer services when I chased for an ETA in the product. If I wanted an update I had to chase them which was pretty frustrating.

When they arrived the lenses are hanging of out the frame and not fit for use. Pretty shocked at the poor quality and wait time.

I have a pair of glasses that I need and like however I don't live near a store and don't want to wait another 3 weeks for a replacement.

Hi,
Thank you for sharing your experience, and I’m really sorry to hear about the delay and the issue with your lenses. This is certainly not the experience we want for our customers.
I completely understand how frustrating it must be to wait and then receive glasses that aren’t ready to wear. Since you don’t live near a store, we’d like to help you get a replacement as quickly as possible. Could you please contact us at hello@aceandtate.com
with your order details? We’ll prioritize a solution so you’re not left without your glasses for weeks.
Again, my apologies for the inconvenience. We appreciate your patience and will do our best to resolve this promptly.
Best regards,

Why is my order taking nearly 3 weeks?

Had a great experience in store, however why are my glasses taking nearly 3 weeks to arrive?
This is nuts, I know in the past my glasses have arrived within days so what has changed?
I even threw away my old glasses and am really struggling working or reading!
I have called the store and checked everyday online, there is no polite excuses nor any communication as to what the delay is?
Hurry up please - ordered 18 Oct & still not arrived 30/10!

Hi Sharon,
Thank you for taking the time to leave your feedback. I’m really sorry to hear about the delay with your glasses and the inconvenience it’s caused especially since you’ve had to manage without them.
I completely understand your frustration. Orders can sometimes take longer due to production or shipping delays, but it’s clear we should have communicated this better along the way.
I see that your order is now in production / on its way, and it should be with you very soon. If you’d like, please contact us directly at hello@aceandtate.com
with your order number so we can check the exact status and make sure it reaches you as quickly as possible.
We appreciate your patience and hope your new glasses will be worth the wait.
Cheers,
Ace & Tate

I ordered a glass three weeks ago and in the first week the status became final touches and since then it stuck there. I contacted customer support and they responded they don't have any idea what happened to my order. I went to the store and they said the same. When I asked for refund, they said we can't do it unless we have the glass in the store. So seems like I'll never receive my order or money and I lost 200 euros

The staff was incredibly friendly and professional, and the selection of frames was outstanding. A special thanks to Stan, who went above and beyond to help me find the perfect pair of glasses. His patience, expertise, and genuine care made the entire experience enjoyable and completely stress free.😊

I visited to get some new frames after trying what felt like every pair of glasses in the usual high street stores.
Alina was absolute fantastic and I was sorted with 2 pairs within about 15 minutes. They were made up within half an hour. Couldn’t recommend highly enough!

The best and most complete eye test I have ever had (and free!). The staff in the Leeds shop (Alina) are very friendly and experienced, providing customised stetic advice without any pressure to buy any of the glasses from there! Strongly recommend!

Really, really great staff

Every single member of staff at the Northcote Road (London) branch were extremely helpful, knowledgable and friendly. I had a problem with the lenses in my first set of glasses, but the very friendly optician (I think her name was Sarah) gave me a thorough eye examination and assured the new prescription should sort things out - it did.

Overall can't fault the service in any way... perfect from start to finish, would recommend.
