Firstly, I mistook them for glasses direct, who I've been with before, who gave me great service and a fantastic pair of glasses and sunglasses. With sight direct, after a couple of weeks receiving them in a small box NO PROTECTION, one of the nose pads fell off. This was the first time I have had this type of problem with any of my glasses from elsewhere. I wanted a refund for the frame, respecting I couldn't ask for the lenses... Nope. So then I asked for nose pads, got them, couldn't fit them in. Asked to send them back for repair but the company wouldn't provide p&p. WASTE OF MONEY

To be fair, i did have 2 pair of glasses from them, which were fine. The problem came when i tried to get 2 more pair reglazed... firstly, they lost 1 pair and secondly, their customer care should be 'customer dont care'..shockingly bad..never again!!

DO NOT ORDER FROM THIS COMPANY - SERVICE IS RUBBISH!!! Ordered prescription sunglasses on 24th April 2018 and paid extra £15.00 for so called 'fast track' service, guaranteed delivery within 7 days. After numerous emails chasing order, finally arrived (after stating that I would visit offices to search for order myself) nearly three weeks from order date. Have since been trying to get refund for 'fast track service'. No response whatsoever. WILL NOT ORDER ANYTHING FROM HERE AGAIN, DEFINETLY NOT RECOMMEND TO ANYONE.

I sent 2 pairs of glasses in to be glazed 3 months later nothing... no glasses returned, no replies to my emails yet I sent the glasses needing a signature so I know they got there. Clearly conmen!, Do Not Use This Company. I hope they go bankrupt soon as that's what they deserve!

The worst online retailer I have ever dealt with. They ignore emails, they have to reminded to compensate financially for their own mistakes, and they don't always add the items you paid for - so if you don't notice a coating, you will lose out. My only mistake was not checking these reviews out before ordering, every single one is bad. The worst company ever in the history of business.

I placed an order with direct sight and after 4 weeks still haven’t received my order!!! I have contacted direct sight via email numerous times but they either don’t reply or don’t answer my questions and are very rude. I have asked them to cancel my order now and issue a refund but they will not reply! I’m now having to try and get my money back via PayPal!

This Company is no more than an Internet scam. Will take your money then send a cheap set of glasses not to your prescription then you have to pay to send them back and that's the last you will hear from them.No telephone number and no conception of basic English. Avoid !! Avoid !! Avoid !! 1 star rating is too much.This company will be closed down soon when trading standards get hold of them.

Ordered glasses sent prescription twice and received delivery 2 weeks later with the wrong lenses. Had an email Saying for me to return at my expense with a copy of the prescription and they will change the lenses. No phone number to sort anything out wont be ordering from them again.

Sent two pairs of glasses for reglazing. Both frames broken. Same email from someone called Francesca saying we’ll refund you... no refund. No response to emails. No phone number. Avoid. Annoyingly seeing others have had similar experiences

I’ve yet to purchase glasses from Directsight and I won’t be doing so. Filled out all the stuff on line, pop up box appeared telling me if I gave them my email address I would enjoy a 10% discount off my order and was sent a code. Filled in the rest of the required info, got to the end, put in my discount code and............nothing happens, it just defaults to the full amount. I emailed the help desk on Sunday expecting a response on Monday, nothing. Emailed them twice since then, nothing. If this is their customer service I can see why they get such poor reviews. There is no phone number to talk to anyone (I’ve tried googling it). If anyone has any recommendations for a good, well priced on-line service I’d love to know.

Hi , just for everybody to see that this is an honest review , I will put my order number here . DS-1521646127-49712 . I've sent my glasses to be reglazed , on the 22 March , on the 11th of April I've asked them for an update of my order as haven't heard anything from them . Today the 16th of April 2018 , I still got no reply from this disgrace company ! This company is a total disgrace !!! You should be ashamed of yourselves ! Not to mention that I don't know where my Ray Ban £140 frame is , There is nobody to talk to !

I’ve returned the same pair of glasses five times and each time they return them straight back the same day without rectify them I even requested a different pair as the form allows and they still returned the exact same pair. There is no customer service you can’t call them only email and most of the time they ignore emails or reply with short messages avoiding the questions. Absolutely rubbish.

Scored this one star because there’s no zero - rubbish flimsy frames with lenses that don’t fit, seem like really cheap sunglasses. Have returned for refund and received email asking if I want to exchange them despite including long letter explaining my dissatisfaction, all of which had already been said in initial email before returning them. Quite concerned that I’m in for a lot of grief getting this resolved having read the reviews so I expect I’ll be making a trip to their return address pretty soon - I’ll let you know how I get on

This used to be an excellent company with great service. I had problems before but they were handled by a person who followed up any queries and offered promises they could fulfil; namely to deal with the complaint quickly and with care. Now we have an automated service providing stock replies to queries and complaints that clearly have not been read or understood. It's no exaggeration to claim that I have spent more than £1000 in the last 3 years with this company but after my recent experience - never again. The ratings on this site don't lie and it's a shame how low customer service now ranks in this business' priorities. Dreadful!

Returned a pair of glasses because they'd either been damaged in the post (they're despatched in a flimsy box without a glasses case) or they were faulty to start with (gap in the hinge that attaches the arm to the frame). They promised to refund the cost of my return (they didn't) and sent the original glasses back, this time covered in dirty fingerprints on the lenses. Shockingly hopeless!

I sent my frames to be re-glazed with a new prescription. While the service was fast, I received back my glasses with a broken arm and so bent out of shape they no longer fit on my face, the arms just flail out the side away from my ears. I tried emailing their customer service and got what can only be described as automated responses from 'Francesca'. I sent pictures, requesting a refund and compensation, and got back a response from 'Francesca' saying: 'We are sorry to see this, please send these back to us with a copy of your prescription and a covering letter stating what you would like changed and we will amend this for you.' The responses I kept getting just said 'we can fix this, please send them back to us' etc. After 5 attempts, I've given up. You cannot fix the damage, the plastic is completely split on the arm and there's now a 2mm gap. I now have no glasses and I'm having to go buy a new pair. I've therefore had to resort to writing bad reviews everywhere I can find in the hope that someone might actually give me my money back and provide compensation for the broken frames that will cost £89 to replace. Avoid.

Glasses caused pain discomfort in both lenses , not right to prescription .Now in dispute with them .Customer service might as well talk to the wall waste of time . Consumer rights act , Goods to be of satisfactory quality .Short term right to reject Totally ignored . Paid in good faith of what was hoping to be a happy customer and what do i get hassle ignored as if my fault ,filled in information correctly got partner to double check . Wore for two days sent glasses my prescription and returns form as req on third day .C/S repeat email [please send prescription] which they have got already and wont answer question where is it . ITS YOUR CHOICE WOULD I RECOMMEND NO ,AM I AN UNHAPPY CUSTOMER BLOODY RIGHT

Utter morons. Used them once last year and it was faultless. This time however has been the worst experience ever. Francesca (who I think is a standard email signature and probably isn't related to an employee) seems to forget what 'she' emailed from one minute to the next. One minute they have my prescription, the next they don't. I asked for confirmation that all was in order before I sent the frames and they eventually confirmed so I sent the frames. Next thing is I get emails confirming they have received the frames but don't have the prescription and the whole debacle starts again. No saving on cost is ever worth this much headache so I would urge you to avoid wasting your life dealing with these air-heads!
