  This contact/eyeglass selling company is a complete Scam. I dont understand how they are in business: I paid for contacts that were never delivered. Never got a response from them after I sent several emails. Also they never answer the phone. Never got to speak to anyone. This place is a RIP off!

  Hi there,
  
  Thanks for reaching out to us and providing feedback.
  
  Upon looking into your order, it seems that the product you ordered is currently being restocked by our manufacturer and we are still waiting to receive it. The current availability estimate is within the next 5-7 business days. However, it's possible that we may receive it sooner.
  
  We sincerely apologize that we were not able to update you sooner regarding this delay. Please be assured that we are doing everything we can to expedite your order, so you can receive it as soon as possible.

  I purchased an eyeglass frame (Order #*******) from ezcontacts on 12/17/22. They were supposed to ship in 3-5 days. When I did not receive them I contacted them and was told they would have them in another 3-5 days. Now I get no response. I would just like a truthful and accurate answer as to if and when I will get the frames. It is clear I am getting a run around, very poor to nonexistent customer service. If they cant get them, Id like to know that and be given a refund. (Paid $135.23 including expedited shipping)

  Hi *********,

  
  Thank you for your review.  I understand your frustration regarding the ambiguous responses you have received from our agents and I can assure you this is not the usual level of service we strive to provide our customers.

  
   Although I am not looking to excuse your concerns, which are rightly founded, I would just like to explain that due to significant supply chain delays, many glasses brands are unavailable through most retailers.  The ETA we give is based directly on what our manufacturer informs us and is in no way meant to intentionally mislead you.

  
  With that in mind, it sounds like we can certainly improve the way we communicate this to our customers. You can be assured that we are currently implementing better systems to ship out our products promptly, as well as updating our website to reflect updated and exact shipping times. 

  
  While I know the above information does not exactly make up for the inconvenience we're causing, please be assured that we are doing everything we can to expedite your order so you can receive it in a timely manner. As soon as we can, we will email you with an exact ETA as well as tracking information. 

  
  Thank you for your understanding. Let us know if we can continue to help you in any way by switching to a different product that is in stock at our warehouse and/or downgrading your shipping method.

  Original order number ******* was placed on 10/4/2022 on EZContacts website. It was a pair of Tory Burch sunglasses, they were not customized and there was no perscription involved. Regarding shipping the EZContacts website says: "Orders placed before 2:00pm EST will be processed that same business day. When ordering prescription lenses with your Eyeglasses or Sunglasses, allow 3 - 5 business days for your custom lenses to be made by our optical lab. Note: Some items may take 1-2 days before it reaches our warehouse. If your order will experience a delay due to a backorder, credit card verification problem, or availability problem then we will notify you via e-mail within 24 hours." I emailed the vendor on 10/8/2022 in writing and received notification that the business was closed down (without warning) and reopened on 10/18/2022. Requested for EZContacts to cancel/refund order in writing on 10/18, 10/22 and 10/25. Everytime I attempted to call over the phone, I was not able to get a live person to speak with. My requests to cancel my order were ignored and the amount charged to my Visa card was $88.11 on 10/22/2022; package was shipped on 10/23/2022. Received package on 10/29/2022 and refused the delivery to be returned back the vendor. The returned package has been sitting at the Ridgefield Park, New Jersey post office since 11/4/2022. ***** Tracking number ********************** Contacted vendor in writing on 11/3/2022 about the package sitting at the post office. Opened an inquiry with **** and they responded in writing that they made attempts to verify delivery info with EZContacts. I contacted EZContacts again on 11/21, 11/22, 11/30, 12/8 and 12/11/2022 in writing. Each time they have not been helpful or attempted to resolve this issue. I just want a refund for the order I canceled and do not have in my possession.

  Hi *******,

   

  Thanks for your review. My apologies that you did not receive your order within the time frame you expected. Please note that as clearly stated on our website, the item you ordered had an availability of 3-5 business days. Meaning that once you ordered the item on December 7th, it would not be able to ship until between December 12th and December 14th. 

  Although we are unable to take every single phone call in a timely manner due to the busy holiday season, we do offer an email option which I see you have utilized to already cancel your order as you can see below:

  Master **************** - (-$48.27 refund) - Success

  Better Business Bureau:
  
  I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID ********, and find that their response is a bunch of excuses and unacceptable. There were nothing that stated that there is a 3-5 day hold before shipping the item. When I finally got to speak to someone, she said that, "oh, the item is back in stock today!!! We are preparing it to be shipped. You'll receive your order on December 22nd!!!" after 7 days of no notice and they had already taken my money for the past week!!! How mysteriously convenient was it for them to state that the item was suddenly back in stock when their site nor their representative ever stated that the item was out of stock to begin with!!! I was never notified that the item was out of stock or whatever reason they were trying to give for their negligence. unacceptable. when I asked for a refund that same lady that told me they were going to ship my item today said that they're not able to cancel my order and I asked to speak to a manager. she said that she would transfer me, but she never did!!! she hung up on me instead. I tried calling again and waited for almost an hour to get a hold of someone with no success. so, I wrote them an email and guess what.... they were able to cancel my order!!! the run around and how unprofessional their staff has been it's like a game to them. highly unprofessional and should not be trusted!!!

  
  Sincerely,

  On 10-16-22 I placed an order for Rayban sunglasses. I have not yet received the order. I called and after about 5 different attempts to reach someone at the business, I finally did and was told they were on backorder. Before this call my order showed “processing” on their site. I have gone back to the website for an update and now it says the order does not exist and it also will not let me log in. These were ordered for my 17 year old son with money he earned working. I am so mad! After reading all of these reviews, I do not ever think they are coming!!! I want a refund. The payment CLEARED my bank account on Nov. 10th. It is NOT a pending charge!!!

  Respectfully,

  I ordered expensive glasses more than 6 weeks ago (9/11/22) and still do not have them. I even requested a different pair (on 10/2/22) that would come sooner after waiting weeks and do not have them. What's worse, the phone line is always busy and I've been waiting days between email responses. They also admitted to me that when they say glasses ship in 2-3 days, that means they do not actually have the glasses in their warehouse. So 6 weeks later, they still don't have them and won't get back with me, holding hundreds of dollars ($252) hostage. They should not tell me glasses will ship in 2-3 days and then not even provide updates after several weeks of them not shipping, and hold my money while not having anyone to answer the phones or reply to emails.

  I ordered contact lenses from this business on Sept. 24, 2022. The items were supposed to be shipped within 10 days of my order. I haven't received the lenses yet and when I've tried to call them I've gotten various recordings including that they're too busy to pick up the phone and to email or that they're closed. I did email them only to get a message that they're closed for an extended religious holiday. I emailed them again on Wednesday, Oct. 19 and still haven't gotten a reply. They're failed to provide any updates on delays or communicate about when I might get my order. I'm hoping you can contact them to help me find out if and when they plan to fulfill my order. This is exceptionally poor customer service.

  I finally received my contact lenses, but it took over 5 weeks to receive them instead of the 5 to 7 business days that was promised. During that time I received no updates and was unable to contact the company until 4 weeks had gone by. After that I spoke with them I was given a shipping date and received a notice of shipment.

  
  Sincerely,

  I used their website to order my prescription contacts and paid for two day shipping. Got a confirmation my order was processed and waiting for delivery service to pick it up the very next day. Then after a week of not receiving it I attempted to contact them about it and they either do not accept calls or email me back saying they are closed. Which has been quite literally everyday since. I have still not received my order and can still not get ahold or in contact with anyone at the company to inquire or start a refund.

  Hi ********,

   

  Your shipping charges were removed. The contacts are not in stock yet and will take another week or two to ship out.

  We apologize for this inconvenience!
