GBDisappointing experience Their quality has gone way down over the years. I made an order in 2017 without any problem, but recently had multiple issues with an order. These issues really ran the gamut of poor quality and service, including my first order not being tracked and being "lost" (and a replacement only being shipped after multiple calls), the replacement pair having obvious defects on the lenses, and the second replacement being the incorrect color (somehow changing between the two previous orders), and, finally, my return request being processed as an exchange. It's been over two months since my original order was set to arrive and I don't have my glasses or my refund. If you do place an order through them make sure to be ready to track your own order and really advocate for yourself, because once Best Buy Eyeglasses has your payment they dgaf about your experience.

GBI should have known better..... I ordered a pair of eyeglass frames that were shown as 'in stock' on a Monday. The next day the order went to 'fulfillment', a process that according to the site will take 1-3 days before being sent out, and my credit card was charged the full amount. On Friday of that week I was notified that the glasses were back ordered and were now scheduled to be delivered 3 weeks later. Of course the site still shows the frames as in stock (how else would they lure other unsuspecting people?). When I called to see why the frames were back ordered despite being showed as in stock I was notified that 'the supplier only stocks one pair of frames in each color and when those sell they have to order a new pair from the manufacturer. This obviously didn't answer the question, but I didn't expect a straightforward answer so I did get what I expected here. The reputable online companies that I do business with a:) show out of stock items as such, b:) don't charge the credit card the full amount until they have shipped the products, and c:) they ship the products in a timely manner consistent with what they say on their website. Buyer beware.

AUNo integrity "I am an Australian shopper who went online towards end of November 2012. I purchased approximately $250.00 worth of product that I paid additional shipping to ensure it would arrive before Christmas with their International courier company Bongo. The expected delivery date was no later than 20/12/2012. As I didn't receive them I contacted the courier company only to be advised that the merchant (Bestbuy eyeglasses) did not send them the order for shipping. The company did not send me an email to notify me of any delays however was more than happy to take the money out of my account). I am extremely dissatisfied with the company, and they have yet to respond to my email. Do not BUY from them International buyers.. They clearly have no intention to improve their service, or have any integrity in their service."

GBSTAY AWAY FROM bestbuyeyeglasses.com - FRAUD!!! DO NOT shop at bestbuyeyeglasses.com Their service is horrible! I got a pair of Ray Bans Aviator 52, which were too small, so I exchanged for 58. The first time they sent me a pair of defective glasses with scratches all over the frames, so I sent them back for a new pair. Unfortunately, second time around was still the same. Scratches still all over the frames, which convinced me they just didn't care about their customers. I haven't contacted them yet about the 2nd exchange, but I so frustrated with them because the representative, Heather, promised and ensured me that she would check carefully and ensure a "new" pair was sent to me. "New" was right, but it was a "new" used pair. I am not even sure if it's worth the time to be on the phone with them anymore. As an fyi, the customer service don't open on weekends and operates short hours, so it takes a lot of patience and time to deal with them. I ordered the original pair since early May and I am still struggling to get a pair of nice Ray Bans with the money that I am paying. The worst part is that I am not even sure if they are real Ray Bans as there were no laser sticker on the len just like the first time when the 2nd replacement arrived. STAY AWAY from them!

GBWorst customer service ever! Without going into details, I had a problem with some frames and after having them only four months, I decided to exchange them. Their "12-month" warranty is a complete farce. They pretended to send me a return shipping label a couple of times, and I finally resolved the problem by dealing directly with the manufacturer of the frames. Meanwhile, everyone I contacted at BestBuyEyeglasses.com lied to me - that seems to be their corporate policy. Save yourself a ton of hassle by buying from someone else. You may have to pay a little more, but you will be sorry if you buy from BestBuyEyeglasses.com.
