I ordered my glasses in the middle of July. It's now the middle of September and I have not yet received them. The personnel are impossible to deal with - they haven't let me cancel my order and require that I have a "chat" with them on the phone. I have put in a refund request through Paypay and will be making sure EVERYONE knows this company is TERRIBLE.

Didn't have the frames I ordered in stock, didn't want anything else they had. Still waiting for a refund after many emails. Going to do a credit card dispute soon.

I ordered frames and prescription lenses and when it was almost 2 weeks without receiving my glasses, I messaged them to find out the status. 2 days after that, they tell me that my frames were damaged and I need to pick new ones because they were the last pair. I told them I wanted a refund, and with MUCH insisting, they gave me back some of my money. Total weirdos too: I called the # and spoke to a Frances, next day called again and same guy (recognized his voice and accent) said that his name was Andrew. I recommend you stay away!

Optically.ca has a great website that boasts fantastic customer service and great reviews. When in fact, they fall quite short of everything they promise. After reviewing their website I decided to go ahead and make a purchase, however, knowing what I know now, I probably would not have. On their home page, they have an image from sitejabber.com claiming 4.5 out of 5 star reviews, however, that review is not for optically.ca, perhaps it is for their New Zealand website optically.co.nz. Their website also says that they will provide updates via email & text message at every stage of your order processing/shipping, however, I did not receive any of these messages.Overall, they fell quite short of the service described on their website. When I initially placed my order, I received two order confirmation emails, however, they both had the same order #. I contacted them right away to ensure I would not be charged twice and not receive two pairs of RX Sunglasses. I got an email back assuring me that my order was placed once. It turned out I was in fact charged twice on my credit card. From when I initially contacted Opically regarding the double charge, it took them 7 days to agree I had been charged twice and agree to issue a credit. The prescription sunglasses I ordered came in soft packaging, with no box to protect it. As a result, during shipping, the actual case of my glasses was totally destroyed. When I complained to Opically I was told I could have a $4.95CAD refund, or a new case shipped. I requested a new case. It has been over a month since they said they would send me a new case, and I still have not received one. Additionally, please be aware, Optically.ca is not located in Canada. My sunglasses were first shipped from the United States to a location in Ontario, and then re-shipped to me in Vancouver, British Columbia. I will say, the prescription sunglasses I received were as advertised, and I am happy with them. However, due to all of the other headaches, I would not purchase from Optically.ca again. I found the customer service to be extremely poor and not what I would expect from an online company.

bad services bad product bad quality and not cheap. Most of all, I purchase two glasses that I cannot see in them hence useless and they blame it on my prescription. I have 3 pairs of glasses with the same prescription so I do not understand.

Optically is a criminal organization practices thievery through digital world across the vast internet with impunity. I had purchased prescription glasses and only to find they charged twice without my permission. Contacting them after the purchase is also impossible. Repeated calls and emails, no replies. The invoice they sent after the purchase disappeared from the email- a technique I have yet to figure out how they did it? Delivery date came and went, no glasses delivered. FEAR & FRUSTRATION - best describes OPTICALLY.

Hi, Please share your order number for us to check the issue, there is no way we can charge you even once (charging twice is out of question) as the payment is only accepted via PayPal and the PalPal transition can be initiated only by the PayPal account holder. There is definitely some confusion over the payment here, please help us fix this for you.

HORRIBLE!!! I wish I could give this company a negative five stars! I should have read the reviews here before purchasing.

I have been processing an order to send to optically and decided to contact the Better Business Bureau where I found out they give it D+, the lowest rating available. Beware and be sure to check with BBB before you order. Maybe they have fixed the problem but with a 1.18 out of 5 rating on Reviews.io, I very much doubt it. They are seemingly a very bad company providing all reviews are objective, and this coupled with BBB rejection certainly seems to support the very negative reviews. Close call for me.

I ordered a pair of progressives from Optically. Unfortunately their promise of 'Fast Delivery' and 'Order Status Updates via Email' are not true in my case. This has been the longest I have waited for pretty much any online purchase ever. The company brands itself as a Canadian company, and as I live in the GTA I thought I'd try and support them. When I called the customer service line to inquire as to my order they informed me that my glasses 'had just cleared customs' so 'should be there in a day or two'. What??!!?? Why would the order need to clear customs if put together in Canada? Several days later, my glasses are still not here. Perhaps this company is operating in a parallel universe where the planet revolves a little more slowly, but even then, why are there no e-mail updates as promised? The online order tracker does a woeful job of indicating status of the order once it has been 'dispatched'. I doubt that this online tracker is actually even a real representation of where the order is within the company as my trust in the organization as an online retailer is now extremely low. I should have read these reviews before I ordered. If my glasses arrive I'll update this review with a note about the quality of the product. As of now though... DO NOT USE THIS SITE TO ORDER FROM!

I ordered a pair of prescription sunglasses from them in June of 2018, and they were good. They came in 2 weeks, was good quality, the price was great and I'm still using them a year later. This influenced me to go through optically to purchase my regular glasses and that was when the headache started. The ordering process was simple and intuitive for sure. About a week after I ordered I got an email, saying that my frame got broken in the process of installing the lens, and it was the last one in their inventory. They said I can choose any other frame I want and they'll credit me $10. I did that and indeed got a $10 refund on my credit card. To put into perspective, I had paid extra for the highest index Kodak lenses they had available. This would ensure that they would be thin and light for my pretty strong prescription. When I got the glasses the lenses were very thick. They were definitely not high index. Kodak themselves said that all their lenses should be delivered with a certificate of authenticity, which this was not, leading me to believe they aren't real. I wore them for a few days and the prescription and all was fine, but then I noticed at some points where I look everything gets blurry. Upon closer inspection I realized the lens was coated unevenly. This was a problem. I called optically and they told me they'll call me back (which never happened). I called every single day and never got help with the issue. I just went through PayPal and filed a dispute, to which optically never responded so I got a full refund. Although I am quite happy with my sunglasses, it seems the quality of service has changed at optically, and I will be switching online glasses stores.

Ordered two pairs of glasses 20/01/2018 - eventually received one pair after numerous e-mails and phone calls; all of which went unanswered. They arrived from Australia and both lenses were scratched and unusable. Sent them back (recorded so they had to sign for them) which they did. Still waiting on a full refund - have contacted via e-mail several times and again all have gone unanswered. Never did receive the second pair. Would NOT recommend this company what so ever.
