Dear Robert,

we are sorry to hear that you are disappointed with our delivery, and we do apologize deeply. We were unable to respond to your query earlier because we do not conduct business during the weekend. We have thus sent a response today, with all the necessary details regarding your delivery. As it takes 2-4 business days to complete the delivery, it is due on Tuesday. Let us know once you receive your parcel.

German instructions

It took a while for my eyedrops to arrive, plus the box and instructions were all in German! I had to use AI to translate and understand.

Hi Anna,

We're sorry to hear that your order took longer than expected and that the packaging was not in a language that was convenient for you.

Our standard delivery time is usually 2–4 business days from the shipment date, although delays can occasionally occur depending on stock availability or logistics conditions. We always display estimated dispatch times during the ordering process and in the order confirmation so customers can see when their items are expected to ship.

Regarding the packaging and instructions, many of the products we sell are supplied directly by the manufacturer, so the language on the box or leaflet may vary depending on the production batch and the country of distribution.

If you ever need help with product information, instructions, or anything else related to your order, our customer service team will always be happy to assist you.

Thank you for your review and for choosing Alensa.

The worst online experience I've ever had…

The worst experience I've ever had buying something online! Avoid at all costs! I was repeatedly lied to about the status of my order, which was seriously delayed. Customer service was appalling - rude, inconsiderate and seemed to go out of his way to make things worse. I wasn't allowed to make changes to the order when I requested a small correction to my prescription just 9 hours after placing it - I was lied to and told it was being produced already. Then, almonst a month later, the order still hadn't been sent so I requested to cancel. I was told that wasn't possible, there had been delays with ordering the frame (even though I had been told it was already being produced the day after purchase!) and despite it being almost a month since I placed the order. I was given more nonsense lies. I told Alensa not to send it at that point and that I wanted a refund, but they sent it anyway, despite replying to those emails. When I sent it back in the end 1/3 of what I paid was deducted from my refund for the prescription, and I had to pay return postage, even though none of this was my fault.

Please save yourselves from this appalling and disgusting company, look elsewhere!!
