My new sunglasses

My new sunglasses were delivered as quickly as possible. They were very well packaged and survived the long journey to Germany perfectly. I'm very happy with them. Thank you :)

Original order was discontinued

Original order was discontinued. Oliver called me and we changed to a different color same frame. Arrived today and they are super. Put my lenses in and I’m good to go. Thanks for all the help Oliver!

Great experience working with Spec Collective!

I’ve worked with Spec Collective several times, both to purchase specialty sunglasses and to have them repaired. Each time, they’ve been responsive, knowledgeable, and easy to work with. The customer service has been consistently excellent.

Buyer Beware

Purchased a pair of Matsuda frames. Received the frames without a certificate of authenticity. It was clear that they have sent these frames out a number of times based on the the address labels they covered up. I immediately called and they said they would send me one???!! Very suspicious. You do not sell Matsuda frames without the certificate of authenticity. Specs Collective would not reimburse me shipping for misrepresenting Matsuda. Will never recommend this company.

Thank you for your feedback. We're sorry to hear about your experience and want to address your review.

We are an authorized Matsuda retailer, which can be verified directly with Matsuda - North America. When you brought the missing certificate to our attention, we immediately offered to have Matsuda send it to you directly or include you on an email confirmation of our authorized retailer status. We also offered a full refund if you preferred to return the frames, which you chose to do and received promptly.

We use new packaging materials for every order. Any additional labels on the box would have been applied by the shipping carrier during transit, which is common practice when packages are routed or processed through their facilities.

We try our best to structure our business in a way that makes purchasing frames online easy, but also have to balance costs. While customers are responsible for return shipping, we offer free shipping on all orders to the U.S.

We stand behind every product we sell and work exclusively with authorized brands. We wish you the best in finding frames that work for you.

No delivery

I ordered frame on Nov 04 but no delivery by Nov 29,2025 without reasonable response.
It is the worst case.

Hello Kyung, thank you for taking the time to review our business, and I sincerely apologize for your experience with this order.

Your order had to come from Canada to the U.S. and unfortunately got stuck in customs. A replacement was then shipped, but was lost in transit by the carrier. We take full responsibility for this situation and have processed a full refund for your order.

This was an extremely unusual series of events and does not reflect our normal service standards. We truly regret the frustration and inconvenience this has caused you.

If you have any further questions or concerns, please feel free to reach out to us directly.

Beautiful frames and professional customer service

Beautiful high quality frames and smooth transaction. Very competitive pricing. My glasses were exactly what I wanted. Packaging was first class. Thanks for using UPS. Communication was excellent regarding the shipping for my frames since these are boutique products and not a commodity quick ship product. I really appreciate the good customer service.

You probably won't get glasses

Took an order for frames they didn't even have, and then later cancelled it without notice or good explanation. These guys seem like shady reselling drop shippers that take an order and then hope to hell they find someone that can send the glasses... I would never shop here again, and would strongly reccomend that actually wants to recieve the product they ordered so the same.

Hello Daniel, thank you for taking the time to review our business.

As we communicated in our email, the order that you placed was cancelled because the frames were no longer available. We notified you the next business day after your order was placed.

We do our best to keep our inventory updated, but availability can change quickly. We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience and would be glad to assist you in finding a similar pair.

Specs Collective has been a great…

Specs Collective has been a great source for my favorite eye glass frames, especially hand-made, high quality brands that are not available, locally. They offer an excellent selection at a reasonable price, including free delivery. And their customer service is exceptional.

Wonderful Matsuda 1033 frames

Specs Collective was great to work with, starting with Oliver from customer service who went above and beyond to contact Matsuda to find me the sold out frame I desired. The price was great and delivery was prompt. The Matsuda frames design, fit and finish are a work of Art. Thank you so much!

Happy! Thank you!

It was easy to work with Oliver, and my glasses are perfect - I am so happy with the chance to customize these frames with the right lenses for me. The selection is also super fun to browse. Would gladly work with Specs Collective again! Thank you!

Great service

Great service! Got my glasses quickly and in perfect condition. Only one thing - the courier dropped it off without asking for a signature - which could have presented some issues if I was not home as my neighborhood is not safe.

Will def use again
