Optically.ca Poor Customer Service and Lack of Transparency: My Experience with Optically.ca

Ordered two pairs of glasses from Optically.ca back in January and paid with my credit card. They said the glasses would be shipped within 10 days, but after three weeks, I received nothing. I was confused and frustrated. I tried to contact them through emails and phone calls, but they did not provide any satisfactory answers. Finally, they informed me that my glasses were dispatched from Australia, which was not communicated to me beforehand. When the glasses finally arrived, both lenses were scratched. I took them to my optician, who advised me to return them. I followed the advice and returned the glasses. I still haven't received a refund or the second pair of glasses, even after several emails.

This has been a frustrating experience, and I feel like my concerns have been ignored. It's disheartening to hear nothing from them about the refund or the second pair of glasses. I've tried my best to get in touch with them, but it seems like they have no interest in responding. I've even contacted MasterCard to try and intervene and get a refund.

In my opinion, their customer service is terrible, and they lack transparency in their shipping and handling process. Due to this experience, I wouldn't recommend Optically.ca to anyone. It's better to spend your hard-earned money elsewhere.

Optically.ca Review of Optically.ca - Disappointing Experience with Frames, Lenses, and Customer Service

I tried giving Optically.ca a chance, but I'm sorry to say that my experience was far from satisfactory. Firstly, let me tell you that the frames I received were not the ones that I had ordered. I was really disappointed as I was expecting to finally have the perfect pair of glasses that matched my personality. Secondly, the lenses I paid extra for were supposed to be very thin but they were thick and heavy. On top of that, the frames were not straight, they were crooked!

After contacting their customer service, I was told that the glasses were made according to my specifications and that the issue was with me. I have worn glasses for most of my life and I know very well what I want from a pair of glasses. I sent them pictures of the glasses they sent me compared to what I ordered and explained my frustration. Their response was not what I was hoping for - according to them, the glasses were made exactly according to what I had asked for.

To make things worse, the whole '100% unconditional guarantee' that they advertise on their website seems to be false. They promised that if I was unhappy with the glasses, I could expect a full refund. But when I requested a refund, they only agreed to give me 50% of the lenses. I found it really unfair especially since I was not happy with the frames as well.

In conclusion, I would not recommend buying glasses from Optically.ca. They do not live up to the refund policy that they advertise so boldly on their website and their customer service leaves a lot to be desired. If you want to avoid disappointment and the hassle of getting a refund, please do not order from this company.

Optically.ca Nightmare Experience with Optically.ca: Frustrating delays and endless issues with prescription glasses

I gotta say, Optically.ca is one heck of a frustrating experience. I placed my order back in April, and here we are in July and I still don't have my dang prescription sunglasses. I mean, come on! It's been almost three months!

Oh, and let me tell you about all the issues I've dealt with. First off, the website apparently couldn't read my prescription. Which, you know, kind of defeats the whole purpose of ordering prescription glasses online. I was told to send a paper copy to fix the problem. So I did. And then I waited. And waited. And waited some more.

Finally, after weeks of complaining, I received both pairs of glasses. But wouldn't you know it, the sunglasses were just regular and didn't have my prescription. So I sent them back. And then, after even more phone calls to try and sort things out, I finally received the sunglasses again. Except this time they had bi-focals instead of the progressive lenses I had ordered. And if that wasn't bad enough, the bi-focals weren't even centered correctly!

So I sent them back. AGAIN. And now I'm still waiting for my dang sunglasses. The whole experience with Optically.ca has been a complete nightmare. And don't even get me started on the bad review they have with the BBB. Stay far away from this place, folks.

Optically.ca Scam Alert: Beware of Fake E-Transfer Payments on UsedVictoria.com

So, I wanted to sell some of my stuff on UsedVictoria.com and I keep getting these weird emails from people claiming to be interested in what I have to offer. They seem to be legit at first, until they ask me to ship the item to someone in Ontario. And guess what? Every time, they give me the mailing address for Optically.ca. I mean, what's up with that?

Anyways, they always say they'll pay with an Interact e-transfer. And then, even though they send me a fake payment, they expect me to ship the item before they release the funds. Can you believe that? When I checked out Optically.ca, it turned out to be a real address in Ontario, but from what I've read, it's just a front for these scammers.

Now, I'm not one for gossip, but everyone needs to know about these sleazy tactics. They're using Gmail accounts, which have been reported already, and fake Scotiabank e-transfers. And get this, they all come from Ambler Drive. So, just stay clear of these people, seriously. If you need glasses, go to a real place like Clearly.ca or any other reputable sites. Don't fall for their tricks, or you'll end up like me - practically giving away your stuff for free.

Just a friendly advice, folks. Don't believe the hype. Banks don't require any proof of shipping before sending out the money. If they can try to scam me, they can definitely scam you as well. So, just stay away from Optically.ca and report any suspicious emails right away. Be safe out there!

Optically.ca Optically.ca Review: Shady Business Operations and Poor Quality Control

This site, Optically.ca, gave me a major headache. Supposedly Canadian, but my glasses came all the way from China! Seriously, what gives? They make it sound like everything's happening locally but it's clearly not. I opted for them instead of Clearly.ca hoping for a company that actually operates in Canada, but clearly I was wrong.

Anyway, the glasses took a while to arrive, and I had to bother customer service multiple times for a tracking number. I finally got one, and the glasses turned up the day after (hey, that's pretty quick shipping from China at least, I'll give 'em that!). But then the frames were Quality Control's worst nightmare. They were all unevenly shaped, and the sun protection didn't work at all, even though I specifically asked for it.

I rang up customer service again, and they agreed to refund me the whole set of sunglasses when I sent them back all the way from Vancouver to Toronto (which, by the way, I had to pay for). It was a whole saga, and I had to wrangle with the customer service reps to get them to listen to me. It was like talking to a wall sometimes. A couple of the representatives were nice and helped me out, but the other two were just sort of smile-and-nodding and didn't really care.

Overall? My experience was not good, and I won't be coming back. The quality of the glasses was highly suspect, and the customer service was a bit of a hit or miss. I ended up buying a similar pair of prescription sunglasses from Clearly.ca for $10 less.

Optically.ca Disappointing experience: Optically.ca's slow shipping & incorrect lenses

I gotta be honest with y'all - my experience with Optically.ca wasn't all sunshine and roses. I placed an order for some glasses on September 6th, 2018, but it took a whole darn month for me to get 'em. Ain't nobody got time for that! The only reason I even stuck with the order is 'cause they kept sending me emails about it - otherwise, I woulda canceled that sucker.

But nooooo, I didn't cancel it, 'cause I wanted some quality lenses. I paid $220.00 extra for them, y'all! But when the glasses finally arrived, they had lenses that were way thinner than what I asked for. Like, they weren't even close. And when I put 'em on, I couldn't see a dang thing. I even gave Optically.ca a copy of my prescription and everything, but they still messed it up!

I tried to get in touch with customer service about the issue, but they didn't get back to me for a whole week. What kinda service is that, y'all? So, I contacted Pay Pal to see if they could help me out. Finally, Optically.ca got back to me and tried to tell me that the thickness of lenses can differ from manufacturer to manufacturer. Uh, okay then.

But here's where it gets real shady, y'all. When I got the package in the mail, I noticed that the product actually came from a subcontractor called "Plastic Plus." I ain't never heard of them before, but I decided to get in touch with 'em about my optometry measures. See, the thing about optometry is that it's gotta be accurate, no matter where you go. A measurement at one lab shouldn't be different from a measurement at another lab. But apparently, that ain't the case here.

This isn't even my first rodeo with ordering prescription glasses online, and let me tell ya, I've been fooled way too many times before. I really hope I learned my lesson this time, y'all. And if anything, I'm just glad that Pay Pal has my back - because let's face it, this problem happened with a Canadian company, and I ain't taking no chances.

Optically.ca Disappointing Delivery and Order Tracker: Optically.ca Review

So, I decided to order a pair of progressives from Optically.ca as I thought I'd try and support a Canadian company, and I live in the GTA. Unfortunately, their promise of 'Fast Delivery' and 'Order Status Updates via Email' was not true in my case. This has been the longest wait I've had for any online purchase. Hopefully, my spectacles arrive soon and I can update this review about the quality of the product.

When I called the customer service line to inquire about my order, they informed me that my glasses 'had just cleared customs', and they should be here in a day or two. I was confused as to why they needed to clear customs if I ordered them from a Canadian company. It's been several days now, and my glasses have still not arrived.

It's possible that this company operates in a parallel universe where the planet rotates more slowly, but even then, why are there no email updates as promised? The online order tracker is terrible and hardly indicates the status of my order once it's dispatched. I'm starting to lose trust in this organization as an online retailer.

It's a shame that I didn't read the reviews before I placed my order. If I knew, I wouldn't have used this site to order. The tracker is not a real representation of where the order is within the company. Still, if my glasses arrive, I'll update this review, and let you know about the quality of the product.

As posting this review requires a photo, I've added a picture of glasses from another online retailer who I had a much better experience with. It's straightforward to order from them, and their customer service is excellent. So, if you want to order glasses online, you better go to that retailer.

In conclusion, do not use this site to order glasses online. Their delivery system and order tracker are the worst, and the product hasn't arrived even though I ordered from a Canadian company.

Optically.ca Review of Optically.ca: Poor Communication and Long Shipping Time, but Affordable Glasses

So, let me tell you about my experience with Optically.ca. It took me quite a while to finally get my glasses, which is where my previous review came from. But, I did eventually receive them. However, what they don't tell you is that the glasses are shipped all the way from China. I understand that this may be a cost-effective option for them, but it would have been nice to know beforehand.

The customer service was not very helpful either. Whenever I contacted them about my order status, they would only give me vague answers like "it's being processed". This only made me more frustrated as my glasses were just sitting on a slow boat from China. The worst part was that they even lied to me about my Canada Post tracking number! I called Canada Post to verify and they said it didn't exist. Apparently, Canada Post only issues tracking numbers if they are the ones shipping the product. So, why would Optically.ca lie about this?

If only they had been honest with me, I would have given them a few stars. All they needed to say was "Your glasses are being shipped from China and will take around two months to arrive". That's it. Simple honesty would have earned them some points in my book.

Anyway, I did finally receive my glasses and they were the style I ordered. The lenses, which were prescription, were of acceptable quality, although I'm not sure if these coatings will last long. I chose the "Brown Transition" lenses and was disappointed with how little they actually darkened in the sunlight. My wife chose the "Grey Transitions" and they darkened much more.

In summary, if you're looking for a cheaper option that takes a bit longer to receive, then Optically.ca is worth a try. But, if you want quality, honesty, and faster delivery, I suggest you go with someone like Clearly. Although it may be a couple of dollars more, you'll get a better product and reliable customer service.

Optically.ca Optically.ca Review: Stay Away from Their Terrible Service and Misleading Advertising

Optically.ca, what a shame. I recently ordered a pair of glasses from them around the first week of December 2021, and boy, was it a mistake. The whole ordeal left a bad taste in my mouth. The shipping was advertised as fast, but after three weeks of waiting and no update regarding the status of my order, I had to send several emails to inquire about it. It was then that they said that there was a quality issue and that it had to be returned to the factory for repairs.

I decided to cancel my order at that point since it was taking too long, but after several emails, I received no confirmation of my request. So, I called Support to express my concern, and they responded with another email promising that I would get the glasses soon. Again, I declined, but it seemed like my request fell on deaf ears.

After several phone calls and emails, I managed to confirm my cancellation with the same person I spoke to before. But even then, they sent me another email a week later saying that my glasses were ready to be shipped and that shipping information was pending. Was this a joke? It was either an error on their part, or someone didn't get the memo about the cancellation.

Finally, I opened a dispute with PayPal, and only then did I receive a response from Optically.ca, apologizing, and asking me to return the glasses with tracking and insurance on my dime. What kind of service is that? It was frustrating and disappointing.

What I find misleading is their website stating that optically.ca is local to Canada, when the PayPal address defaults to Australia. Who knows where the glasses came from and where they would like you to send it back to if you're not satisfied!

In conclusion, my advice is to stay away from Optically.ca. The experience wasn't worth it, and it doesn't seem like they care about their customers' satisfaction.

Optically.ca Disappointing Experience with Optically.ca: Poor Customer Service and False Promises

Optically.ca is a website that has a lot to brag about, but it seems like they can't deliver what they promise. I decided to buy from them after visiting their website and based on their reputation for outstanding customer service, but after my experience with them, I think I may have made a mistake. Their website claims to have many excellent reviews, but research shows that the review they have on-site is not for Optically.ca. Maybe it's for their New Zealand website, optically.co.nz? Additionally, they assured customers on their homepage that they would keep you updated with text or email messaging when your order was processing or shipping, but I didn't receive any of these updates, which was quite disappointing. Overall, my experience with their services did not measure up to the expectations set on their website.

When I bought from Optically.ca, I received two order confirmation emails. Though both emails had the same order number that was fishy, so I reached out to them immediately to clear the air. Unfortunately, it didn't ease my mind as they couldn't provide an explanation for the double emails. I was worried, but they emailed me back insisting that they only placed one order. However, it turned out that my credit card was charged twice. After a week long conversation with Optically.ca about this concern, they agreed that I was charged twice, and the process of getting that second charge refunded took another week.

I was shipped my prescription sunglasses in a pitiful soft packaging bag that didn’t provide any protection for the item, coming with no box. That caused the glass case to be completely damaged during shipping. When I complained to their customer service, to my surprise, they were only willing to offer me either a new case to be shipped or a refund of $4.95CAD. I requested a new case since it was more reasonable; as expected, almost a month and counting since that offer, nothing seems to be working out.

Also, one thing to remember is that Optically.ca is not really located in Canada. My sunglasses were initially shipped from the US to Ontario before it was then forwarded to me in Vancouver, British Columbia. So much for a Canadian-based business.

All in all, the prescription sunglasses I received from Optically.ca were precise, spot-on, but the things that I went through overshadowed that. I cannot see myself returning for other glasses, after going through so much trouble, the customer service they bragged about was more than disappointing and poor, not something I was expecting for an online business.

Optically.ca Optically.ca Review: Poor Customer Service & Delayed Delivery

So, around a month ago, I placed an order for some glasses from Optically.ca. You know what? I still don't have them! I've tried reaching out to their customer service through email and chat, but it seems like no one's on the other end because I haven't gotten any response at all. To be honest, it's pretty frustrating. And when I did finally get a reply to one of my messages, it was just some automated response that didn't even answer my questions about when my glasses will arrive or how they'll get here.

All the website says is that my order has been "dispatched". But what does that even mean? It doesn't give me any concrete information to go off of. At this point, I'm pretty sure I won't be ordering from them ever again. It's a shame because I was excited to try out this site but if I can't even get a response from their customer service, what's the point? Save yourself the trouble and look somewhere else for your glasses!

Optically.ca Warning: Terrible Experience with Glasses Order - Scam Website Alert!

I ordered some glasses like two months ago and haven't heard anything from them - like no confirmation, no update on my order, nothing. They still took my money, my credit card got charged straight away which is totally not cool. I'm really not sure what all those other people are talking about with their positive reviews because to me, it feels like a proper scam website. I wouldn't recommend it to anyone, to be honest.

Optically.ca Disappointing Experience with Optically.ca: Empty Promises, Endless Delays, and Poor Service

I recently had an experience with Optically.ca, and I must say their service left a lot to be desired. It's very frustrating when what they claim on their website and their customer service don't quite match up with what they deliver. I was promised timely delivery and quality products, but sadly, that's not quite how it panned out.

The promises they made initially were compelling, and I was excited to do business with them. However, as soon as I placed my order, the constant delays and endless excuses began. It seemed like they were trying to keep me on the hook by making empty promises and giving me the run-around.

In the end, I felt like a total sucker as I got scammed! If I could go back in time, I would have chosen a different vendor altogether. Despite my terrible experience, I do hope that Optically.ca improves their service quality, so customers can have a better experience in the future.

Optically.ca Beware of Optically.ca - Scam Alert: Poor Service and Misleading Products!

Last May I ordered two pairs from Optically.ca. They were very cheap and I received them quickly. However, one pair did not arrive. I contacted the company and they said the sorry pair is no longer available. I decided to pay for another pair which was even more expensive. It finally arrived, but it was not the one I ordered, it was a very cheap pair. I had to send them back and I'm still waiting for my refund. It's September 2020 already! I advise everyone to avoid these scammers at all costs!

Optically.ca Avoid Optically.ca: Poor Quality Glasses & Unhelpful Customer Service

The glasses from Optically.ca were really not great at all. I had quite a hard time seeing through them, as the lenses were very blurry and it made it very difficult for me to see properly. I tried to return them, but unfortunately, they wouldn't let me and told me that I had to send them back to be 're-aligned'. I wasn't really sure what this meant, but I was hopeful that it would solve the issue I was having.

I understand that sometimes lenses need to be adjusted to fit a person's pupils, but these glasses were blurry in all directions, and it really seemed like the prescription for the lenses was just incorrect. I tried to explain this to the clerk, but they just wouldn't listen and insisted that I needed to come back to the Toronto office to have them repaired.

All in all, it was a really frustrating experience, and I wouldn't recommend Optically.ca to anyone who wants to get a decent pair of glasses. The customer service was not very helpful, and it was just a really unpleasant experience overall. If you're looking for a good pair of glasses, I would recommend going somewhere else and saving yourself the headache.

Optically.ca Slow Delivery and High Prices at Optically.ca: Not Worth It

I gotta say, I'm not sure if it's just Canada or if other places have this issue too, but I ended up waiting for quite a while before getting my order from Optically.ca. I don't think this is the fault of the company itself though; it seems like the folks in charge of distributing the products in Canada are not doing the best job. To be honest, I'm not even sure if it's a "real" business or just someone's side hustle. Either way, I wouldn't recommend it.

Another thing that really irked me was how expensive the lenses ended up being. I don't think the frames I chose were worth the extra cost, and the lackluster customer service I received made it feel like even more of a rip-off. I mean, come on--there are plenty of other sites out there that offer similar (if not better) products and services. I'm not saying don't give these guys a chance at all--but just be aware that you might not be getting your money's worth.

Optically.ca Disappointing experience with Optically.ca: Late Delivery and Poor Customer Service Practices

I was big excited to order from Optically.ca on Jan. 20, 2022, but it's been a real bummer of an experience so far. Apparently my eyeglasses are coming all the way from China and they won't be arriving until March 9th! Why on earth did they not tell me this beforehand? I live in a small town and it's not like I can just waltz into a store and pick up a pair of glasses.

On top of all this, I don't think I'll even be able to get a refund if I wanted to. According to their website, I have to wait until the glasses arrive, ship them back to China, and then wait even longer for a refund IF they even deem me worthy enough for a refund. This is just not acceptable business practices.

I tried reaching out to them earlier to cancel my order, but I only got a tracking number today (Mar. 3). That's way too little, too late. I'm in a real bind here and I can't just go months without glasses. It's a shame because I heard good things about this website, but their customer service leaves a lot to be desired.

Optically.ca Optically.ca: A Complete Scam - Don't Waste Your Money

I wouldn't recommend Optically.ca to anyone. Don't fall for their website's false promises- it's a complete scam! Firstly, they claim to be a Canadian company, but their phone number shows they're based in New York. To make matters worse, the glasses I purchased from them were shipped from India- where's the Canadian connection in that?

The company boasts a 100% satisfaction guarantee, but that's far from the truth. When I attempted to return my glasses due to poor quality, they changed their terms and conditions on the website. I felt cheated and conned. The worst part? They wouldn't send me an RMA so I could ship the glasses back. It was a nightmare dealing with Optically.ca's customer service team.

The whole experience was frustrating. I had to end up going to my credit card company to have the purchase reversed because Optically.ca was so uncooperative. If you're reading this and thinking about ordering from Optically.ca, I would suggest looking elsewhere. Don't waste your time or money on this fraudulent company. STAY AWAY FROM THESE GUYS!

Optically.ca Disappointing Experience with Optically.ca Glasses: Quality and Delivery Issues

I wasn't that satisfied with the glasses that I ordered from Optically.ca. The cheaper frames that were priced at around $39 were twisted and I couldn't manage to straighten them even with hot water. I also had to wait a full month for my glasses to arrive, which was a little frustrating.

Even with the better frames, I still faced some issues. One of the lenses had the wrong prescription, which made it difficult for me to use them properly. Although my previous pair of glasses was fine in terms of the prescription, I am unable to access my prescription from Optically.ca to verify it.

On top of all that, I faced another issue with the frameless glasses that I ordered. These glasses were kept on hold for almost two months, and when I finally contacted customer service, they asked me to pay an extra $50 for lens upgrades. I didn't receive any notice about this before, which was quite inconvenient.

Moreover, even the frameless glasses that I received had asymmetrical stems, which didn't look very appealing. All in all, I wasn't too satisfied with the quality of my glasses from Optically.ca, and I don't think I'll be ordering from them again anytime soon.

Optically.ca Avoid Optically.ca: Poor Service, Bad Products & No Refunds!

Do not, under any circumstances, use Optically.ca. They made me extremely unhappy with their horrid service and terrible products. I requested prescription sunglasses with white frames and instead, received frames that looked like the colour of a military vessel. As if that wasn't bad enough, the frames were also damaged and the lenses were not aligned properly.

The delivery was severely delayed and I was unable to get any updates from the company on the status of my order until it arrived at my doorstep. Their website claims that they provide a full refund for any reason, but that couldn't be further from the truth. When I contacted an agent to request a refund, I was told that they do not even offer white frames, even though their website clearly displays them as an option.

It was an enormous hassle to try and get any kind of compensation for the terrible product. I would highly recommend steering clear of this company and finding a better online optical retailer. There are plenty of other options out there that provide excellent service and high-quality products.
