Was a bit concerned because of the bad reviews but got the shades in 4 working days. The price was cheaper 25% compared to other shops a nice bargain.

Very happy. I had issues ordering a pair of Rayban Sunglasses from a UK firm, so called Edel-Optics as their website suggested they had the Sunglasses in stock. They confirmed they did have the stock,... See more

Fantastic Service from Edel-Optics

I’ve ordered several times from Edel-Optics in the past few years, and I am extremely happy with their Service. Very fast delivery, fantastic prices, no additional taxes or delayes (I am based in London, shipment is from Hamburg). This is my No 1 site when it’s about sunglasses. A huge THANK YOU! Bravo!

My Tom Ford sunglasses arrived today!!

My Tom Ford sunglasses arrived today! Bit of a wait, but I was made aware of the delay and they arrived just in time for sunny weather. The sunglasses are just what I wanted. Beautiful and very stylish. Parcel was packed very well, and I received extra cleaning box, thank you!
It’s second time I’ve ordered from edel-optics and I definitely not the last.
Very happy- thank you.

I like the frames I ordered but…

I like the frames I ordered but couldn’t understand why it took 7 weeks. Apart from that the worst part was waiting for UPS to deliver. Completely frustrating. It took 3 days for them to deliver. Each day I was told it was out for delivery then I was told it was delayed. No reason given. Dislike the service from UPS.

Hello KK

Thank you for your feedback. We completely understand your frustration regarding the long wait. We truly appreciate your patience,
The reason for the delay is that the glasses you ordered were not in stock at the time of purchase. We had to order them directly from the manufacturer, but unfortunately, that specific model was still in production, which extended the delivery time.
As for the UPS delivery issues, we’re very sorry to hear about your experience. We rely on our shipping partners to deliver on time, and it’s frustrating when delays happen without explanation. We will share your feedback with UPS to help improve their service.
Best regards
Edel-Optics Team

Great service, fast delivery and an exceptional price. Have bought from before that's why I returned and will certainly be using again

Great service and price

I needed some replacement frames for my existing glasses which I had broken and couldn't get locally. Edel Optics had what I needed and I received them 3 1/2 working days after ordering them and they were perfect. Great service and a great price

Edel Optics sent the wrong prescription…

Edel Optics sent the wrong prescription but frustratingly refused to refund me for their mistake, so I have lost £170.00. This is a sadly classic case of 'buy cheap, pay twice' (and not that cheap either). To avoid Edel Optics taking your money but sending you the wrong product, I recommend you use an alternative, trustworthy retailer.

The key issue which makes you distrust is Edel Optics' UK website does not mirror typical UK prescription values. So you cannot input the same prescription values from (for example) Boots or Specsavers into Edel Optics' webform.

Disturbingly, Edel Optics' Customer Services don't help with this effectively either. Indeed, in my experience, I had repeated conversations with Customer Service AFTER making the mistake of ordering prescription glasses from them. None of those conversatons gave me any confidence to trust that I could order the correct prescription.

They offered to refund one lens - ONE - if I paid in advance (again) for another set. Offering a refund is of course a clear admission of their error. This is weak gesture of bad will, however, particularly with no guarantees of getting the order right the second time around.

So I would be £340.00 out of pocket, with an unsatisfactory refund of a mere £85.00 to possibly get another wrong prescription. And then have to a third, correct, prescription set from a trustworthy retailer instead.

As it stands, I'm £170.00 out of pocket thanks to Edel Optics bad prescription glasses service and ineffective customer support, and instead have paid £190.00 with a mainstream/High Street UK retailer which has offered a fitting service too.

So becuase Edel Optics admitted its error but refused to refund, the 'cheap prescription glasses' that they offer has depressingly turned into a £360.00 nightmare. Still, if I'd ordered from them again, it could have been even worse.

Obviously, I wish I'd avoided Edel Optics and used a trustworthy retailer in the first place, and would urge you to do so, too. I urge you to please avoid making my costly mistake. I certainly won't make it again with these snake oil salespeople.

Hello Scot D,

We sincerely regret to hear about your dissatisfaction with our service and your experience with your prescription glasses.
We would like to clarify that prescription glasses, being custom-made products tailored specifically to the individual’s needs, are generally excluded from standard return policies. This information is transparently stated on our website to ensure customers are fully aware before placing an order. In general, this process works very well, and most of our customers do not experience any issues with the prescription glasses made by us.
As a gesture of goodwill and with customer satisfaction being our priority, we have offered you a resolution to help address the issue.
We recognize the frustration caused and assure you that we aim to deliver high-quality products and services. 
Please do not hesitate to contact us if you have further questions or require additional assistance regarding your order.
Kind regards,
Edel-Optics Team
