GBOver the Rainbow I sent in my older designer frames for new polarized lenses. They were timely and keep me informed of the status but the lenses are awful! The vision is good but there are “rainbows” or prisms when I look to the sides, and when I try to read my phone it looks like a hologram. I was very disappointed.

GBThis is a crap shoot. A while back, I placed an order with Boomerang and everything went smoothly and in a timely fashion. In June, I decided to use their services again. I sent them a pair of very expensive frames and heard nothing. Apparently, the frames were lost in the mail, and I received this response: "We hate to see it, although if for any reason these do not arrive to us or they are lost in the mail we would not be liable for the loss of your frames as shown here [in] our terms and conditions, however, we would most definitely get you fully refunded for your order and even provide you with a discount at our sister company Liingo Eyewear for some snazzy specs." One would think that even if it cost a few dollars more, this company would include in-transit insurance. Now I've lost not only one of my favorite frames but also the original lenses. "Snazzy specs", indeed.

GBHorrible experience Horrible experience, over 2 months. It turns out they broke my frames only a year old (designer) and they never told me until I finally got someone to answer after my emailing and calling. They said they would order and replace the same designer frames, sent me a photo of them. When I received them they were different frames. I’m in the process of canceling payment with my credit card for 150.00 lenses. Will cost me 350.00 to replace my original frames. This has be going on for two months, I wish someone would have warned me not to use this company!

GBExcellent Experience with Boomerang Shocked to see some of the negative reviews as my experience was close to perfect. I sent two frames, one of which had my RX and the other I had picked up on Ebay because my frames are no longer made. I carefully noted which was the correct RX of the two and they made them just as I ordered. The customer service has always been top notch and the glasses came back to me in the 7-10 day window they advertise. My local optician wanted to charge me for one pair at a cost a bit higher than two pairs with Boomerang. I am a believer.

GBGood idea, Execution not great In theory, the process was a good idea; however, after I received my glasses back I couldn't wear them. The temple was so distorted, where it would hook to my ears, that it hurt whenever I wore them for more than 5 minutes. I brought them to a local optometrist to adjust but it was not the same as it was originally. I did reach out to Boomerang and they advise me the frames were stretch/adjusted to install the new lens. But to the extent that mine were just seem weird and unnecessary. The customer service was really nice, but I won't be using this service again.
