Still waiting for delivery after a week
Update: I spoke to Alensa. The process was a bit complicated but they did indeed refund me.
I placed a large order that was supposed to be delivered last week within 24h with Royal Mail 24h tracked. Parcel Force claimed they attempted to deliver on Sat, when I was at home all day, but miraculously failed to leave a note as proof of attempted delivery. I asked them to deliver today and I again haven't heard a peep from them.
Please investigate what is going on with my parcel FI142968393GB. If I do not receive the parcel within 24h and communication from the company, I will contest the transaction with my card company.
Please note that my contract for timely delivery of products is with you as a company, not with Royal Mail/Parcelforce so it is your responsibility to ensure I receive the products on time.

I might be spoiled by competitors
I might be spoiled by competitors, but 4 days for delivery is too long. They also don't make this clear prior to ordering, and there is no way to cancel or amend your order online.

Hello,
Thank you for your feedback.
We are sorry to hear that the delivery time didn’t meet your expectations. Our standard delivery timeframe is shown on the checkout page before payment, as well as in our Delivery Times & Costs information page, however we understand that waiting a few days can feel long, especially if you’re used to faster options elsewhere.
We are always looking for ways to improve the shopping experience. While currently, orders cannot currently be amended or canceled online once placed, our customer support team is available to assist whenever possible.
We appreciate your feedback and we hope to provide you with a smoother experience next time. If you need any assistance, feel free to contact us.

SCAMMERS
SCAMMERS. They operate under a fake address in the UK but their work is in Czech Republic. My glasses were poorly manufactured. I was told to return them for a refund. 50 days later they are still telling me they are being inspected and they won’t refund me. They are being investigated for fraud so don’t use this company.

Hello Richard,
We are sorry to hear about your negative experience.
We would like to clarify that our operational locations are clearly stated on our website and in our Terms and Conditions. Regarding your order, we can confirm that your case has been fully resolved, including a refund for both the glasses and the return postage.
As explained in our return policy and on our complaints/returns information page, returns of glasses - particularly those related to a complaint - may take slightly longer due to the need for a thorough quality inspection.
We regret that the timeline caused you concern, but we can assure you that no fraudulent activity has taken place. Your case was handled in accordance with our standard procedures, and we are always available should you have any further questions.
Kind regards,
Customer Service Team
One month on, and still nothing received the correct order.
I ordered my glasses and received them on the 10th of October. I literally couldn’t see anything with them and they obviously weren’t made according to my new eye test . I raised a complaint and returned the glasses on the 17th for re inspection. They received them on the 20th of October. I emailed few times to inquire about the progress and no one bothered to respond to my emails. we are on the 11th of October now and still nothing. I paid £150 for the glasses and still don’t have anything. I raised the issue within the 14 days refund policy and they don’t even bother to respond or deal with the matter. I will rely the matter to the trading standards as I have not received the goods I paid for and will escalate this further. My advice is to avoid at all costs unless you want to chase them endlessly. Disgraceful service.

Hello,
We are sorry to hear about your experience.
As the glasses were returned as part of a reclamation, they need to arrive at our main warehouse before the case can be reviewed. This process can take longer than a standard return - up to 30 days from the date the parcel was posted.
Please rest assured that your case is marked as a top priority. As soon as the returned parcel arrives back at our main facility and the inspection is completed, our customer service team will contact you right away with an update and resolution.
We truly appreciate your patience and understanding in the meantime.
Kind Regards,

Customer victimization
I bought eyeglass frames and prescription lenses from this store. I wanted to return the frames because they didn't fit my face, and the lenses were uncomfortable and I couldn't see clearly with them. Before returning them, I contacted the company several times via email to explain the problem I was having with these lenses. The company insisted they don't accept returns on eyeglasses lenses. Many companies accept returns on prescription lenses without any problems, but this store insists on refusing to return defective lenses. I still returned both the frame and lenses to this store. Despite receiving the returns, the store still refuses to refund the money for the lenses. This is a victim of my injustice. This store does not care about customer satisfaction. I highly recommend you reconsider your purchase before purchasing from this store.

Hello Cigdem,
We are sorry to hear about your experience.
Please note that prescription lenses are custom-made products made specifically according to your individual prescription. As outlined in our Terms and Conditions, they are therefore non-refundable once produced. When we received your returned glasses, our inspection confirmed that the lenses matched the prescription details provided in your order and were manufactured correctly. We also sent you a message at the time to inform you of this outcome.
While we regret that the frame did not fit as expected, we always recommend reviewing the frame dimensions listed on each frame's product page to ensure the best fit and comfort.
We value your feedback and will continue to work on improving our service and communication to ensure the best possible experience for our customers.
Kind Regards,
Customer Service Team

Hello Adam,
Thank you for your feedback. We are sorry for any confusion regarding your order. Our glasses are usually produced within 10 working days after an order is placed, and delivery via Royal Mail typically takes 2–4 working days. Since we ship from abroad, it can take 1–2 days for the parcel to reach Royal Mail in the UK, at which point the tracking information becomes active.
If you would like, our team can provide more details about your specific order. Please contact us at info@alensa.co.uk with your order details, and we will be happy to assist you further.
We appreciate your patience and hope to resolve this promptly.
Kind regards,
Alensa Customer Service Team
Extremely slow shipping despite lenses shown as in stock
I have made multiple orders with Alensa but unfortunately have had an issue with them not actually shipping the item a few time times. My latest order 170694463 was placed on the 29th October when the lenses were clearly listed as 'in stock ready for dispatch'. It was marked as shipped on the 30th October but 2 days after it was supposedly shipped Royal Mail still have not received it! This exact thing has happened me previously - I'm afraid that Alensa just generate a tracking number and then take forever to actually post the item. If you need lenses quickly I'm afraid Alensa isn't the way to go.

Hello Christopher,
Thank you for your feedback, and we are sorry for the concern caused.
Your order was dispatched on 30 October, and according to Royal Mail, it is due for delivery today (4 November - 3rd working day after the dispatch date). Our stated delivery timeframe for Royal Mail is 2–4 working days after dispatch, so your order is still within the expected delivery window.
Please note that as our parcels are shipped from abroad, it can take 1–2 working days after dispatch before Royal Mail updates the tracking information — this is completely normal and simply means the parcel is still in transit to the UK.
We appreciate your patience and understanding, and we’re confident your lenses will be delivered very shortly.
Kind regards,
