Specscart is one of the fastest-growing eyewear startups in the UK. With three physical stores in Manchester and an e-commerce website, we bring 2000+ fashionable eyewear styles made in the UK at unbeatable prices and deliver them in a record-breaking time of 24 hours.
Like superheroes, our brand also has an inspiring origin. Okay, it didn’t involve any radioactive spider bites, but it“s a lot more relatable. Our founder, Sid, broke his eyeglasses just one day before his semester exams. Wandering through Manchester City Centre in search of a replacement, he encountered only overpriced or mediocre options. The glasses he fancied were locked behind high-security displays, priced steeply at over £150. After reluctantly paying a small fortune without the chance to properly try them on, the glasses arrived—too late for his exams. Hope was lost here, but direction and purpose were found.
Sid realised that eyewear, much like shoes, should come with options that cater to different needs and occasions without breaking the bank or compromising on quality. Driven by this idea, Sid envisioned a brand where selecting glasses would be as enjoyable and straightforward as choosing a pair of shoes for different occasions—hence our tagline, “A Frame for Every Game.“
This vision gave rise to Specscart: an award-winning startup, on a mission to revolutionise the eyewear industry by changing the way people perceive glasses, from being a tool of sight correction to a sustainably made fashion accessory, that is a true joy to wear.
OUR PROMISE
At Specscart, we make a commitment to never sell anything that we wouldn’t buy ourselves. This means you receive essential upgrades like anti-glare, anti-UV, anti-scratch, and impact-resistant coatings on all glasses at no extra charge. Plus, every order comes complete with a protective case, designer cleaning cloth, cleaning solution, and a screwdriver. To ensure your vision is at its best, Specscart offers free eye tests for everyone at all our retails stores.

Nobody wants to discover there's an issue with their prescription, so I'm really pleased the team was able to put things right without delay. Looking after our customers doesn't stop once an order has been delivered, and it's good to know that came across in your experience.
Thank you for your trust and your kind words.
We look forward to serving you soon.

2 Pairs Purchased & they're Perfect!
I've now purchased 2 pairs of glasses from Specscart and I'm really pleased with both pairs. The 'try at home' experience is easy to do and really useful. Communications once you've ordered is quick and I was able to sort a tricky situation out fairly pain free with my first pair. Then when I ordered my second, everything was kept on file so we didn't have to repeat any processes. Delivert us quick and the glasses are well packaged. Would highly recommend!

There's nothing more rewarding than seeing someone come back for another pair. We work hard to make every step feel effortless, and it's great to hear that your second order was even smoother thanks to everything already being in place.
I'm also pleased to know the Home Trial helped you choose with confidence and that the team could make things straightforward when you needed a little extra support. That's exactly the kind of experience we want every customer to have.
Thank you for your recommendation and for choosing Specscart again. It really does mean a lot to us.
We look forward to serving you soon.

I wanted a pair of sunglasses re glazed and back in time for my holiday in 10 days time. I sent them 24 hour tracked and received them back less than 48 hours later. Half the price of the high street, extremely happy with them and the support and help I received from Ansh. Highly recommend Specscart and will definitely use again - thanks.

There's something especially satisfying about helping someone get ready for a holiday without the added worry of whether their glasses will arrive in time. We know how important those deadlines can be, so it's fantastic to hear everything came together just when you needed it.
I'm also delighted Ansh was able to support you throughout the process. I'll be sure to pass on your kind words, as they'll mean a great deal to him personally.
Thank you for trusting us with your frames, and for recognising that great service doesn't have to come with a high street price tag.
We look forward to serving you soon.

Thank you for your honest feedback. While we always aim to deliver as quickly as possible, there are occasionally circumstances outside our control that can affect delivery times. Even so, we know how important it is to keep our customers informed, and we'll continue working to make that part of the experience even better.
I'm really pleased that, despite the delay, we were still able to earn such a positive overall impression. We truly appreciate your understanding and your support.

Prescription sunglasses in a rush
Needed some prescription sunglasses in a rush just before a holiday - how simple and efficient Specscart was. I was a bit dubious, but having ordered at 8pm on Wednesday there my sunglasses were in my hands by Friday afternoon. Great service and very quick delivery.
Prescription and fit perfectly fine.
I think its a little difficult to judge the quality of the frames without seeing them in your hands, if you need a basic pair of specs made well and delivered quickly I would have no hesitation in recommending Specscart. Thanks.

It's always nice to prove that ordering glasses online can be every bit as reliable as people hope. We know there can be a little uncertainty the first time, especially when you're working to a deadline, so it's incredibly rewarding to hear we earned your confidence.
Thank you as well for your balanced feedback. We completely understand that choosing frames online is a different experience to seeing them in person, which is exactly why we're always looking for ways to make that decision easier for our customers.
We really appreciate your recommendation and hope your new sunglasses are the perfect companion for your holiday.
We look forward to serving you soon.

Lovely frames, smashing glasses
I visited the website and saw several pairs of frames I liked. Had them delivered for a home trial - excellent idea - and they arrived promptly and well packaged. Loved 1 frame and set about purchasing some varifocals with thinned transition lenses. All went well until I tried to pay for them. There was a discount code available at checkout which I qualified for as they came to £270. But it wouldn't work. I tried on a different device but still no joy so I rang the customer services department and thats where it all went a bit wrong. I got a member of staff who clearly had some training needs. My issue wasn't resolved HOWEVER, I was then contacted by Tamsin who took ownership of the matter and the rest of my experience was great.
I am super pleased with my glasses and have already recommended Specscart to a friend

Hi Clare,
Thank you for your feedback. We are very sorry to hear about your experience and apologise for the frustration caused while trying to place your order.
We're pleased to see that your order was eventually completed successfully with the discount applied, but we understand that doesn't take away from the difficulties you faced. We have tried reaching out and left a voicemail yesterday, as we'd appreciate the opportunity to learn more about what happened and discuss your experience further.
Thank you again for bringing this to our attention.
Kind Regards,

Trying on frames at home should feel just as easy as visiting a store, so it's fantastic to know the experience worked so well for you. We've put a lot of thought into making the Home Trial service as simple and convenient as possible, right through to the reminders that help keep everything hassle-free.
Thank you for giving it a try and for sharing your feedback. It's greatly appreciated.

When you unexpectedly find yourself without your glasses, every day can feel like a long wait. That's exactly why we've worked so hard to make our service as fast and dependable as possible, so it's wonderful to know we could help when you needed it most.

My second reglazing order. Perfection.
My second reglazing order.
Having already reglazed my primary pair, I sent my secondary prescription Ray-bans to Specscart on Wednesday. They were reglazed and received back on Saturday complete with another cleaning cloth, solution and adjustment tool.
Perfection 👌

There's something incredibly rewarding about being trusted with a customer's favourite frames not just once, but twice. We know reglazing well-loved eyewear is a service people place a lot of confidence in, so it's fantastic to hear we've delivered another experience that lived up to your expectations.
I'm delighted your Ray-Bans are back with you and ready for many more years of wear. We hope the little extras in the package were a welcome touch too.
Thank you for choosing Specscart again.

Wrong items
Quick delivery and nice eyewear but this is my third order where something has gone wrong (they sent the wrong lenses on my latest order) so I won’t be using them again.

Hi Grace,
Thank you for your feedback.
We're pleased to hear that your order arrived quickly and that you liked the eyewear. However, we're sorry to learn that your overall experience didn't meet the standard you expected from us.
We appreciate your continued support over multiple orders, which is why it's particularly disappointing to hear that we've left you feeling this way. Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback, and we'll be reviewing it with the team.

Super helpful staff
Super helpful staff. My prescription did take longer than average because it was complex, (I have astigmatism) but not as long as I expected and not as long as it previously has at my high-street opticians. When the glasses arrived, they were well packaged, in a sturdy case with a cool little screwdriver for adjusting and a little credit card thingy with my prescription. They were fine out the box, prescription perfect despite not knowing my PD. 10/10 would buy again, and will do very soon.

What I love about this review is that it highlights the balance between speed and getting things right. More complex prescriptions naturally need a little extra care and attention, so it’s wonderful to hear the turnaround still exceeded your expectations and compared so favourably with your previous experiences.
I’m especially pleased that everything arrived exactly as it should, right down to the packaging and the little extras. We try to make every order feel thoughtful and complete, and hearing that your glasses were perfect straight out of the box is incredibly rewarding.
The fact that you're already planning your next purchase is the biggest compliment we could ask for.
We look forward to serving you soon.
