GBExcellent, much needed service I had 2 pairs of sunglasses with expensive, high-end designer frames; both pairs of lenses were older prescriptions and scratched but the frames were in great shape and classic styles. I found Boomerang on the web. Service was prompt, process was easy, and the quality of my lenses is top notch. There was no "adjustment" period at all--put them on and they were perfect. I wasn't required to get a "current" prescription like most optical services want; I just uploaded my most recent one, which is in all my other glasses and is just fine.

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.

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.

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.

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.
