Review: Selectspecs.com 5/5

My Selectspecs order came through a couple of days ago. The bundle came all the way from Hong Kong, with a postage cost of just £3.50. It took a couple of weeks, which is a pretty good turnaround in my book. Also, Selectspecs' communication was first class - they kept me well updated with the order via e-mail and they even left a few comments on my blog.

As for the actual glasses, the pair on the left look good but they don't fit my face all that well so I won't be wearing them. However, the funky ones on the right are pretty darn good and will work perfectly well as a back-up pair - I would have loved to get these made up as prescription sunglasses. The quality is more than reasonable for the super low price (if I just ordered the glasses on the left, they would have cost £8.50 including postage!).

That one pair of glasses didn't suit is not the fault of the company. I don't know how well they handle complaints, returns etc, but but based on my experience, their service was top notch. Another company called GlassesDirect have a 100% no quibble guarantee so if you are haven't tried the glasses on before or you are spending quite a bit of money, or if you not 100% sure about your pupillary distance and have a strong prescription, it may be worth going with them - I have used these guys before and would also give them 5/5. However, Selectspecs is much cheaper and is well worth a punt for a few cheap pairs, or if you have a particular frame in mind.

5/5
