Gain nothing from paying alot.

Gain nothing from paying alot.

Been paying for 3 glasses for 5 years every month. But when asked if i can cancel the contract early due to eye laser surgery which i don't need glasses after their reply was to change glasses(prolonging another 12 months) or switch glass grades

Totally useless and i'm stuck paying for something i don't use for 12months.

Also for those thinking it's bad planning its designed to keep you on the contract with a "free change of pairs" every 12 month and the original contract being 2 years.

Can't recommend, buy a pair from another store then supporting this, It's greedy and not putting our intressts first.

Hi Linus,

It's sad to hear that you had a bad experience at the store and that you are not satisfied with the subscription, that is certainly not what we strive for. I would like to know more about what happened as your feedback is important to us. I would therefore appreciate it if you would email customerservice@synsam.com and tell us. We take information like this very seriously and really want to make sure it's right.

Thanks in advance!

I wish you a nice day.
Sincerely,
Josefine at Synsam

Hi Darren,

How wonderful to share your experience regarding your contact with us at Synsam. There are several factors that affect the price. The total price of a pair of glasses is determined by which frames and which type of glass you choose. There are different grades of glass and they have different types of competence. Where certain types of visual impairment need a higher quality to be able to see well. To get a cheaper cost for your glasses, we have several options. For example our own brand Ai Eyewear but you can also choose frames in a Recycling Outlet.

At Synsam, we always review our price levels and the content of our offers and strive to be a safe & high-quality optical chain for your eye health.

I wish you a nice weekend.
Sincerely,
Josefine at Synsam

Hej Mohtasim!
Vad tråkigt att hör att du inte är nöjd med bemötandet. Det är verkligen inte det vi strävar efter.
Jag har fört din kritik vidare till butikschefen och som jag förstått det har du haft dina glasögon i ett par år och därmed har garantin löpt ut. Du har fortfarande rätt att reklamera dina glasögon om det är ett fabrikationsfel som orsakat skadan, alltså om det anses vara ett ursprungligt fel. Men det kan uppstå fel av andra anledningar så som normalt slitage eller av kundens hantering av glasögonen. Vi kan självklart skicka dina glasögon till leverantören för en bedömning om du önskar det.

Du är varmt välkommen att besöka samma eller en annan Synsambutik för en ny bedömning om du vill.
Har du några ytterligare funderingar är du varmt välkommen att kontakta vår kundservice.

Jag önskar dig en fin dag!
Vänliga hälsningar

Messy, long waiting time, unprofessional

Very bad overall experience with Synsam. I will never order anything there in my life and I don't recommend this place to anybody else.

Visited a boutique in Hötorget for the examination and to order new glasses. It started very well, they carefully checked everything and provided recommendations. When I came back again, I have chosen, ordered and paid for the glasses in the store I was given a weird receipt with a final amount and was told that the glasses would be ready in 3-4 weeks. More than one month has passed by, no glasses. I called the store, was told that there are delays and that the expected delivery date to the store is next week. Waited for 2 weeks, still nothing. So I have decided to visit the store. A young lady has checked the status of my order and has told me that the glasses hasn't arrived yet. When I asked when it is going to arrive, she said that they don't know. It was very unprofessional from them, so I had to ask her to call for the manager of the store who "by miracle" has found my glasses in 10 minutes, I had to wait for 10 minutes more and then I finally have got my glasses.

However, it appeared that it was not the end. With the glasses, I have finally received a detailed receipt with all the purchased items where I have found out that they had counted eye examination again, though I have already paid for it.

The service is quite expensive, but the quality of it is very bad, and honestly, kind of scam-ish.. I need another pair of glasses, but I will not order it in Synsam.

Horrible customer service

I'm a client and I can not, for the life of me, get in contact. I've spent hours on the phone, I've sent e-mails – and everything to sort out the company not delivering the glasses I've paid for. The customer service is horrible!
