Fantastic service from start to finish.

Fantastic service from start to finish.

There was a little hiccup at the beginning, whereby the frames I ordered were not in stock and are discontinued by the original manufacturer. However, after an email from the kind lady Jade notifying me of this, they were able to offer the same frame in a different colour as an alternative.

From there everything went swimmingly, the frames arrived 1 week exactly, ordered on a Tuesday received the next.

Frames and lenses were both fantastic. Customer Service fantastic. Would most definitely use again.

It is refreshing to find an online opticians that can offer both value and amazing service.

Brilliant company to purchase glasses…

Brilliant company to purchase glasses from, I was wary at first in case they were not genuine but after speaking with Nicky I was totally reassured.The glasses I ordered were out of stock and not due in for a month but I received an email after two weeks to say they had arrived in stock and they were quickly dispatched via tracked mail. The service I received from Nicky was fantastic and I would have no hesitation in ordering from this company again. Thank you

Great service

The first pair of sunglasses I bought did not suit my requirements, so I returned them and purchased a pair of Maui Jim Alelele Bridge sunglasses which are perfect for me. Designerglasses.co.uk were really helpful and made the process really easy.
Many thanks

Great customer service & glasses!

The customer service received from Nicky was above and beyond what I could have reasonably expected.
My frame size is smaller than the average and as such I have trouble finding adult glasses in my size, my first couple of choices were out of stock which was disappointing but not perhaps unexpected given the current situation - however Nicky turned that disappointment around by keeping me updated regularly and then going above and beyond to find me an alternative frame that fits my small face and looks absolutely great! Thank you Nicky.
