I am really impressed with the service

I am really impressed with the service. I ordered my sunglasses 5 days ago, and they arrived today. I was sceptical at first, but I read a few reviews and gave it a try. I was notified about my order and was given proper information about where they were each day. Overall, I would really recommend this website if you are looking for sunglasses.

Was very easy to navigate the app and choose on smartfit plus the speed in which it arrived in South Africa, however the courier kept it for almost a week knowing there’s no duties payable on glasses in South Africa. It was only after I enquired that they woke up and delivered.

I am incredibly impressed with the service I received. From the moment I placed my order, the communication was excellent, and the entire process was smooth and professional.

The delivery of my glasses was surprisingly fast, and they arrived securely packaged and in perfect condition. The quality of the glasses exceeded my expectations, and they fit perfectly straight out of the box.

What stood out most was the company's attention to detail and commitment to customer satisfaction. It's refreshing to deal with a business that delivers exactly what it promises.

I would highly recommend this company to anyone looking for quality eyewear, efficient service, and a hassle-free experience. Thank you for the outstanding service – I will definitely be ordering again!

what a fantastic experience

I was blown away by Smarbuyglasses. Living in South Africa, I was sceptical about leads times and delivery times (our postal service is non-existant). However it was really easy to track my glasses and it came within two weeks. I emailed them once to get confirmation on customs, and they cleared up the fact that I would not need to pay anything additional, that the imports company merely needed my ID number. I received my glasses and absolutely love them!
