  Better Business Bureau:
  
  I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID# ********, and have determined that my complaint has NOT been resolved because:

   I have not received the item. Until the item is in hand, I will not close this case. 10% refund is laughable for a $189 purchase it will take over a month and a half to recieve. Once the item is received or full refund granted, I will not close the case.

  Hi ****,
  
  We do apologize for the delays on your order.
  
  Unfortunately, the frame is still on a back order due to production delays. The manufacturer has advised that the estimated availability as of this time is July 25th. We understand this can be frustrating. Please know that you can still switch to a different model if you'd like. The prescription lenses are actually ready, we are just waiting for the frame to get them installed. We have reached out to offer a 10% refund for the inconvenience should you decide to replace the current frame or continue waiting for the original order, to which you have responded and accepted. We acknowledge that you wish to continue waiting for the frame, so we will keep the order active. 
  
  Again, we do apologize about the delays. We ask for your understanding that the manufacturing delays on the frames is outside of our control. 
  
  
  Regards,
  **** *** ***

  Hi ****,

  We understand you would like to receive the glasses before closing the complaint.

  We are still waiting for the availability of the frame from the manufacturer, it is currently on a back order. It is estimated to be back in stock on July 25th. Your lenses are ready and we'll make sure to get them installed asap as soon as we get the frame.

  An email will be sent to you with the tracking information once the glasses had been shipped out.

   

  Regards,

  I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID ********, and although it (still) fails to address the communication issues, the company finally managed to communicate with me, AFTER I filed the BBB complaint. Now resolved.

  Thank you BBB !

  Hi ****,

  I am sorry to hear about your concerns regarding the order.

  Upon checking your account, you placed this order on June 18th as prescription eyeglasses and you have a quite strong prescription. Please be advised that prescription orders take 7-10 business days to be processed. Order processing time are also posted on the website. I do apologize if the system has miscalculated the ship out date. Since you have quite a strong prescription, we have to maximize the processing time to ensure you will be provided with the correct glasses.

  I would also like to advise that the order was shipped out today, via **** and I believe we are still within the allotted time frame. I will be emailing you the tracking information. You may use the reference to check the delivery status through the **** website.

   

  Regards,

  ****

  Please note: The area that looks smudged is the bifocal area and cannot be seen holding the glasses up to the light. When I put them on, there is a distinct line and foggy area in the bifocal part of the lenses.

  nct "fuzzy" area. Glasses cost a lot and I'm not sure what a person is supposed to do if they cannot be returned, and no one will get back to you when you call.

  Hi *******,
  
  Firstly, I sincerely apologize that your concern was not attended to properly.
  
  I am sorry to hear about the issues with your glasses. I have raised your concern with the management team and we are happy to inspect your lenses in the lab. Once confirmed defective, we will replace them at no cost. We will be sending you a pre-paid label to send the glasses back to us. You will receive this via email.
  
  I will also reach out to you via email to provide further instructions before returning the glasses back.

  Hi ****,
  
  I am sorry to hear about the issues with your order.
  
  Upon checking, you have selected the color Milky Navy with Blue Gradient lenses and based on the photos you have sent us, it appears the right color was sent. It may have a slight difference in color if you compare it to the photo from the website due to the studio lighting when it was photographed for marketing. If they did not come as expected, you are more than welcome to exchange them.
  
  However, please note that upon checking with the manufacturer, the model Calvin Klein CK19561S Eyeglasses had been discontinued, and what you have right now are among the last pairs left in stock. Therefore, I would recommend choosing a different frame instead for an exchange. I will be sending you further instructions via email on how to send the glasses back, as well as recommendations for similar models.
  
  Feel free to let me know if you have any other concerns.
  
   
  
  Regards,

  Dear *** ***************** understand how frustrating it must be receiving your order in a faulty condition. We would like to apologize for this experience and the inconvenience it may have caused.
  
  I can see from our records that you did return the glasses back for a replacement. We have received it on April 17th and we immediately requested a warranty replacement for the glasses from our manufacturer. 
  
  We did receive a brand new pair from them as of April 22nd and I can confirm proper quality checks were made before we have shipped out the glasses and we made sure it is in good condition before preparing it for shipment. I would like to clarify that we did not send the same defective pair. The damaged pair has been sent back to the manufacturer along with our feedback for the product. It is possible that it could have been damaged in transit or it was really an isolated manufacturing defect with the model you chose. We understand if you had concluded that the same pair was sent out since they had the same issue. We would like to assure you that this is not the case and it is definitely not how we do business. We always strive to ship orders in the best quality before handing them over to our delivery couriers.
  
  From your records, we can see that you have already returned the second defective pair you received and we have issued a full refund on May 9th. It should reflect on your end within 2-5 business days or depending on your bank processing time.
  
  We hope this resolves you concern, and please feel free to reach out if you have further questions. 
  
  
  Regards,
  Cool Frames LLC

  I ordered glasses from cool frames in February. I received the glasses March 3rd,2025. Today is April 11 2025. The glasses frames are cracking. It looks terrible. I contacted the company and they said I have to send the glasses back and they will fix it. How can I send back if I need them to see? I will also have to pay shipping fees. I requested a refund and they said its been too long. But this business sold me glasses that are faulty and wont refund me. And wants to CHARGE ME to send them back.
