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.

COWill NOT continue to do business with them After ordering a set of Side Shields for my Safety Glasses I was very surprised at the lack of communication and customer service. after waiting a month, no contact was made. I finally started to check out the problem and found the customer service non-existent. I finall learned that the side shields would be ordered from the manufacturer, but after a month, haven't been ordered. Wow. The company should learn to communicate with their customers. Still waiting on side shields or refund after over 45 days. 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."

GBSent Wrong Frames Twice I ordered a pair of frames and they sent the wrong frames twice. They couldn't guarantee the they would send the right ones on the third try. They didn't seem to care that they kept screwing up.
