GBBoomerang for the win! I couldn't be happier. Over the years, I have had several pairs of glasses with high quality frames but since they aren't made any more the optical shops where I got them can't re-lens them. Enter Boomerang, from a Facebook ad which I almost never pay attention to. Their connection to 1-800 contacts sold me. For my first pair I sent in a frame to be made into computer glasses along with a new prescription. I love that they can take the PD off the old lens. Bottom line-I'm typing this review at my desk and deciding on which pair of frames goes in now for everyday glasses. Communication is one thing that really makes or breaks a transaction for me, and Boomerang scores 100% on that as well as product quality.

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.

GBAn abject and utter FAIL My experience with boomerang was horrible, and will not be repeated. I sent him two pairs of expensive Tom Ford frames to be lensed, and it was a comedy of errors. I waited two months to get my order because it got lost in the shuffle at Boomerang; I was asked to provide my PD number four separate times; it took two months to get my order, in which the lenses were put in the wrong glasses, and one of the lenses was completely wrong due to an error on their part. I sent the frames back for the lenses to be switched and re-ground, and the quality is terrible. Also, one of the pairs of frames came back wobbly and stretched due to their van handling of it. I wasn’t charge anything by boomerang due to all of their errors.

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.

GBI sent them two pairs of glasses I sent them two pairs of glasses. The first came back missing the eyepads. The second were completely broken. Their solution was to offer me a pair from their sister company, Liingo. Liingo has a very limited selection and nothing that vaguely resembles the pair they destroyed.
