Very very pleased with the excellent service and speedy delivery and quick response with my query today.
I have a subscription through the Opical Store and was worried about delivery and payment.
I went online and filled out a form, within the hour I received a phone call and email and by the end of the day my contacts were at home, even before I'd gotten home from work!!
Thanks largely, I think, to Tom, who called me, emailed me and personally delivered the contacts to my home, isn't that amazing attention to detail!!
Have used this company over the years to order my daily contacts and am now using them for my monthly contacts.
Always a very quick delivery and such a wonderful team!!
Many many many thanks!!
Oh and I almost forgot the best part!!
These monthly lenses at Vision Express are double the price!! 🙄😱😳😳 So very happy to have switched over the subscription.
