Good, detailed photos online. Simple & quick to order. Could try to ensure that glasses are wide enough for an average face. Delivered quickly & packed to protect the fragile frames.

Being honest

To be honest, helpful and constructive, I do not actuallly care. I received the goods for which I paid, and they matched the description. What more am I supposed to say?

Bit distorted

The frames are good and feel nice. However the lenses vision is not quite right. They are a bit distorted. Unfortunately it’s hard to find this out without using them properly ie after taking off the packaging. If you’re sensitive to variations don’t get these.

Poor aftercare service

Bought some rubber glasses in July 2023 which I was very happy with. Recently I discovered the frame cracked. Glasses are always kept in case and I have been very careful as they’re my only pair. I contacted The Reading Glasses Shop with photos. They just responded with “our returns policy is 28 days only”. I responded indicating the frame cracked so the item is faulty. No response. Think twice before purchasing. Shame as they’re lovely and comfortable glasses.

Hi Rowena
, So sorry I never replied to you straight away , I’ve been away for a few days , now regarding your broken in half glasses at the front of the frame ,Rowena they arrived in perfect condition to you over 4 months ago , I appreciate you don’t know how this has happened but I can assure you this hasn’t happened by itself , in all my years handling glasses I have never come across a pair of glasses in the box in that condition To offer a warranty longer than 28 days we would have to increase our price considerably over the £12.50 you paid
With respect Daniel

I'd previously ordered glasses from this company and was delighted with them so I decided to order two more pairs. Unfortunately they aren't the same with thinner frames and all together much flimsier. I liked the look of them so kept them but after only a few weeks, one pair have broken, very disappointing

Hi Jane
Strange , The new batch is far superior to the first but I’m not sure what pair you have had the problem with or what has happened , so until I hear from you directly I can’t form an opinion or advise or help , warm regards Daniel
