Replacement issue

Ordered some Gucci sunglasses on Alensa.ie on Dec 12th. They arrived on Dec 30th. Upon opening them on I could see immediately the frame was bent (one lens was bent inwards) which made them so crooked you couldn’t wear them. I contacted customer service with photos and asked for a replacement pair. They apologised and sent me a free post return label via email. I asked if I would be sent a replacement and their reply was ‘we will get back to you when the glasses are back’. The return took a further 16 days after which I received a refund without follow up communication on a replacement. Not completely unsatisfactory as I got my money back and was replied to, however, I would have preferred better communication about replacing not being an option and obviously a non-damaged pair of glasses in the first place. I have reordered elsewhere now.

Hello Jorien,

Thank you for your honest feedback. Please accept our sincere apologies for the condition of the sunglasses upon arrival.

We always aim to compensate for damaged items as quickly as possible. However, in cases where the specific item is no longer in stock or does not pass a final quality check before dispatch, a refund is issued to ensure fair compensation. We clearly missed the opportunity to explain this to you in advance, and for that, we are truly sorry.

We understand how disappointing this experience must have been, especially when you were expecting a replacement, and fully agree that clearer and more proactive communication should have been provided throughout the process. Your comments have been shared with our offices so we can improve how we handle similar situations in the future.

Thank you again for taking the time to share your experience. While we regret that this led you to order elsewhere, we appreciate your feedback and hope we may have the opportunity to serve you again under better circumstances.

Kind regards,
Alensa Customer Service Team

Really poor service, still waiting for order

Really poor service, ordered on the 8th of December with a dispatch notification on the 10th. No progress since then or tracking updates. Reached out a few times and was told to let them know after the 19th if I still haven't received my package which I haven't, still waiting for a response even though I voiced my concern over no updates on the tracking supplied.

Hello,

Thank you for your feedback.

We are sorry to hear about your experience. Unfortunately, without an order number, we are unable to look into your case directly here. That said, we truly regret the delay and the uncertainty this has caused. During busy periods, response times may be longer than usual due to a high volume of enquiries, but we do our best to reply to every customer as quickly as possible.

That said, we hope that your enquiry should have been responded to by now, and we sincerely apologise if this has not been the case. If there has still not been any update, please contact us directly at info@alensa.ie again with your order number so we can investigate the matter promptly and assist you further.

We appreciate your feedback and the opportunity to address this properly.

Kind regards,

Alensa.ie for Oakley

I purchased 2 sets of Oakley Holbrook RX frames from Alensa.ie....

The prices where, frankly, unbeatable.
The purchase and shipping experience where flawless and the packaging was a cut above the rest.

Thank you Alensa.ie for helping me out with my Xmas gifts this year 👍 a

Lost order

Delivery of original order took 2.5 weeks ! Replacement order after 8 days arrived quickly. Original package surfaced a week after that. When I enquired what to do with duplicate item I was told to keep it and pay in full or go to the trouble and time in returning it … no gesture at all to compensate for inconvenience and service failure . A suitable discount and I might have kept it. Not impressed at all

Hello Aidan,

Thank you for sharing your experience. We sincerely apologize that we did not discount or credit when you first reached out. This may have been due to an unusually high volume of emails at the time, but we know that is no excuse, and we understand the inconvenience this caused.

We see that the original parcel has been returned, and we would still like to make things right. We will be reaching out to you directly to arrange store credit that can be applied to a future order as a gesture of compensation for the trouble.

Thank you for your patience.
