  Complex situation here...

  * **************** works for ***** who has a Prescription Safety Eyewear contract with Hoya.(***********************).   
  * Hoya licenses the Eyeweb platform to offer online services to their client (Tesla). 
  * Tesla pays for the safety eyewear except for specific frame or lens upgrades.   **************** selected 2 upgrades for $50 and Tesla paid the balance of the invoice.  The $50 in upgrades were paid directly to Hoya (not Eyeweb)
  * Hoya received and shipped the eyewear directly to **************** which is currently  tracking in the US ************** system.  (Current Tracking report is attached)
  * Eyeweb never collected any funds from **************** and we cannot refund or reverse the payments which are managed by Hoya.  
  * Tesla has dedicated resources to manage the safety eyewear program for their employees.   **************** could easily reach out to their program coordinator to help with the issue.
  * The Eyeweb team has offered to resend the order to Hoya and ask them to re-make the eyewear and ship to him again.
  * The website where **************** placed his order clearly states that ********** is the provider (Attached screenshot).  
  
  Our resolution will be to contact Hoya (supplier) and ask them to reach out to *************** directly.  Eyeweb only provides the online platform for order placement.   Hoya fabricates and ships the eyewear via USPS.   
  
  **************** can direct his issues to:

  I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID ********. I am pleased that Eyeweb has provided a return label and agreed to refund me, however I would like to note that Eyeweb’s response does not address their representative’s deceit regarding my order’s shipping status when I called to cancel my order. Additionally I would like to point out that not only did I contact them to report the damage and return the items within a few days of receiving them, but that they didn’t provide the return label or respond to this BBB complaint until two weeks after I filed it. Now that I have heard back from them I will return my order and consider the matter satisfactorily resolved once my refund has been processed. 
  
  
  Thank you,
  
  
  
  ***** ****ever buy anything from EyeWeb in the future. However, when the frames finally arrived one of them had a significant twist causing the left and right eyes to be out of plane with each other and the stems to be significantly out of parallel. After sending photos and requesting to return both frames for a refund, I was told that the defective glasses were “just an element issue you can fix it by tilting the frame” on my face (this is false) and that if I insisted on returning them they would only issue store credit. I was prepared to take store credit but after my complaints about the damaged frames were dismissed, I changed my mind. I am unwilling to deal any further with a company that falsely advertises order shipping times, is unwilling to resolve quality issues, and lies keep from losing a sale. I would like to return the glasses and receive a full refund.
