This is the worst service I’ve ever…

This is the worst service I’ve ever experienced from any company. The arm fell off an expensive pair of designer glasses after a month (I’ve never had a pair of glasses break before because I look after them extremely well). I returned them to Alensa who confirmed in writing that the metal hinges on the glasses are bent so the screw could not sit correctly in the glasses and thus cannot hold the arm together. They stated they ‘are not sure how this is even possible as the material is all metal’ which confirms that they are clearly a faulty pair for this is to happen to them. They are not taking any responsibility for the fault and instead are blaming it on me for mechanical damage resulting from me mishandling them which is obscene when they were looked after well and the arm just randomly fell off when wearing them. They are refusing to refund the faulty glasses. I can see from other reviews that they have done this to multiple customers now so I would urge anyone thinking of ordering from them to not do so unless they want to receive faulty goods and be refused a refund. I’ve never experienced anything like this before from any company and I will be warning everyone I know to not shop with them.

Dear Beth,

We’re sorry the outcome of your claim wasn’t what you hoped for. We understand how disappointing it is to have an issue with your glasses so soon after purchase. Our team reviewed the case and found the damage to be mechanical rather than a manufacturing fault.

We truly regret the frustration this has caused. If you’d like us to review it again, please reach out and provide your return address so we can arrange the next steps — we’re always here to help.

Kind regards,
Customer Service Team

Fantastic price and great service

I found what I was looking for on the Alensa website but before placing the order I contacted them by phone to check stock levels as I needed them quickly - several other sites were selling the frames but didn't have stock - and the gentleman who took my call was very helpful and they had the frames in stock. 8 quickly ordered them via the website but realised I had omitted the invoice address which was different to the delivery address and again after a brief call this was resolved. Delivery was within the stated timescale and the cherry on top was, the FANTASTIC PRICE!

Glasses are spot on!

Took advantage of the sign up deal (10%off) for some polaroid transitional glasses for distance. They got my prescription spot on and the fitting and they came within the stated time frame. I got a free gift option too and chose a lip balm. I would definitely use again.

Order number 611365

Order number 611365

I recieved my Gucci glasses and within 6 weeks they were not sitting straight on face. I returned and after review I have been told to clean the make up off them and take them to my own opticians. This is awful customer and no reason why the frame would bend.

I will continue to make others aware of either replica or factory seconds being sold!

If I do not receive a refund for my
Order I will continue to post on all platforms and seek legal action against this company as this is not fair on anyone to go through

Dear Remy,

Thank you once more for sharing your concerns. Following a thorough inspection by our glasses department, no manufacturing defects were found. The note regarding makeup was included because residues or cosmetic products on the nose pads and temples can, over time, affect the fit and alignment of the frame.

It is common for frames to experience slight bending due to everyday handling, storage, or gradual loosening of hinges during normal use. Such adjustments are typically simple and best handled by a qualified optician, which is why we recommended a professional alignment.

We are actively in contact with you and continue to review your case carefully. Our team remains available to discuss the situation in more detail and provide any additional explanations you may need. Please be assured that we are working to resolve this matter efficiently and fairly.

Kind regards,
Customer Service Team

Products and service of the business…

Products and service of the business was fine however the customer service are rather incompetent in resolving any issues or conflicts you have with the service and ignore emails when they don’t have an answer to your questions.

Update = they now claim they have replied to all my emails and that there must be an issue when receiving them when the last 3 emails Iv sent them have all been delivered and read but no reply!

Delivery took 9 days - poor customer services

22/9 (Monday) placed order, 23/9 I received an email saying that it was dispatched, 25/9 (Thu) I emailed telling them that Royal Mail have not yet started delivering. An agent replied me that Royal Mail would scan on 26/9 night and possible to deliver on 27th (Sat), the whole process to be completed on the 29th, they said.
However, on 27th morning, I emailed to them about it due to the status on Royal Mail was showing “ Expecting to receive”, they are still no action on delivery, however nobody replied me until I called Alensa on 29th (Monday), they told me there was an error so the parcels will be slightly delayed, and will be arrival on 30/9 (Tue) or 1/10 (Wed).
I wonder why Alensa didn’t notice that there was an error on the first day when I made an enquiry on 25/9, but replied me that was on track within 2-4 business day.?? It is totally 7 business days eventually.
Actually I don’t have enough lens to wait until 30/9 or 1/10, that forced me to reuse the daily contact lens again, and ordered from another company urgently with extra money to buy due to Alensa’s poor customer services.

Dear An,

we are sorry to hear that you've had this experience with our delivery and customer support, and we do apologize deeply for any and all inconveniences. As this is not an usual occurrence with our services, we were not able to anticipate the problem until it was already past the advertised delivery timeframe, after which our logistics department resolved it with upmost priority and got all the stuck parcels delivered.

We already have an on-going case where we are resolving this issue with you, we will be contacting you shortly in the thread to discuss your reimbursement for this discrepancy.

Dear Courtney,

we are sorry to hear that, and we do apologize deeply. Your return was received, and is being reviewed as of today, therefore any reimbursement will be issued in the upcoming days. We are sorry for the longevity of the process, but since your return was that of a custom produced specs, it was necessary for it to first be received back at our main stock for a review, which may sometimes take up to 30 days. We are aware of the longevity of the process, for which we do apologize, and we are currently working on a better return process for any future order returns.

We will be contacting you shortly via our email ticket thread you have created with us for further information regarding your reimbursement.

Awful company - Rude and do not listen!

Awful company. I purchased a set of glasses and was told I would be contacted if the prescription I chose did not suit the glasses. I also sent an email and asked for confirmation of this before the glasses were made. I required a thinner lense than I had purchased (happy to have changed this it it was recommended) I was completely ignored by this company and they continued to make the glasses and send them out, despite me saying I did not want this. Three times I asked to make a complaint and each time I was ignored. I have now recieved the glasses and the lenses are way too thick. I cannot physically wear them. I have got in touch now about a refund and they are still fobbing me off, telling me I have to purchase another pair before they take mine back. I also dont get the full money back because of the lenses. By a company that I asked not to send out as I was not happy!!
Completely put me off purchasing glasses online.
Rude company!

Dear Melissa,

We’re very sorry to hear about your experience - this is not the level of service we aim to provide. Please rest assured we’re actively reviewing your case and working to resolve it as quickly and fairly as possible.

As our prescription lenses are custom-made, they are generally not eligible for return, though we always handle each situation individually to find a fair solution.

We apologise for the communication issues and the inconvenience caused. Our team will contact you directly soon to resolve this.

Great choice and fast delivery

I found BioMedics 1 day contact lenses here for a great price. For some reason, it became harder to find these particular contacts elsewhere in different packs (30, 60, 90), but Alensa seems to always have them, which is great. I like the option of the InPost (locker) delivery, which suits me perfectly price wise. I recommend Alensa.
