GBNew lenses placed on wrong side The folks at Boomerang are friendly enough. But my recent experience was most unpleasant. I sent them my Warby Parker frames to re-lens after my Rx update. I received the new lenses and proceeded to wear them. My vision did not feel right so I stopped wearing them. My optometrist looked at them and found that the lenses were placed in the glasses backwards. I contacted Boomerang and they apologized. Even if they had offered a credit of some sort I am probably not going to use them again.

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.

GBSucks Sucks. They replaced lenses for me before no problem. Now all of a sudden they cannot fill my prescription anymore, it is too much for them apparently. But guess what?? They do not bother to tell me this. My frames were received at their site more than a week ago and I call today to find out the ETA for the relensing and THEN is when they tell me they cannot do it. Mind you they have had my frames for over a week. So if I never called I wonder what year I would have heard from them that they were not up to the task. They do not bother to tell you on the website either that they cannot handle your prescription. They want you to make sure that you waste your time and gas THEN they will let you know that it is too much and ONLY after YOU call them. So annoyed, I sent in multiple friggin' frames and was looking forward to them being relensed. Now I have to look for another place.

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.

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.
