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.

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.

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.

GBThis place is useless This place is useless. They emailed me telling me that they couldn’t add new lenses to my glasses because they don’t have the technology for it and they may break my frames during the process?
