- Discounted brand names
- Fast and easy process
How Does it Work
SmartBuyGlasses’ battle cry is an easy shopping experience for every customer, and the brand certainly stands behind that claim. The online process is quick and easy: just choose the frames you like, add your specifications, and confirm your order to have the glasses delivered to you. Here’s a closer look at how that works:
- Choose your frames
Start the online process by choosing your frames. Be ready to browse, though, because SmartBuyGlasses has over 100,000 frames and styles to choose from. SmartBuyGlasses makes it easier with multiple filters, including brand names, features, shape, color, frame type, and material. You can even choose the size or price to fit your needs.
You can also use SmartBuyGlasses’ face shape tool to help you find the right glasses to fit your face.
- Add your prescription
Once you have your frames, you can upload your prescription directly to the shopping cart or email it later on. SmartBuyGlasses has a cool lens scanner app that will also read your prescription directly for you.
- Personalize your glasses
Now for the details. You can get extra coatings, blue light filtering, various lens materials, and more.
- Checkout
Finally, add in your payment and shipping information, and your glasses will be shipped directly to you. You can use PayPal or credit card, or utilize the AfterPay to break up the cost into payments (because, you know, $7 is tough on the wallet all at once).
Pricing
SmartBuyGlasses boasts an impressive array of glasses from brand names at heavily discounted prices. In fact, you can get a nice pair of glasses for just $7. SmartBuyGlasses has up to 70% off on designer-name glasses like Ray-Ban, Burberry, Gucci, Ralph Lauren, and more. Of course, SmartBuyGlasses is dealing with brand names. So you can also find specs as high as $1500. But there are still plenty of great options in the more affordable range. SmartBuyGlasses also has glasses for kids, FYI, ranging from $18-$49.
Here are a few prices for extras you can opt into:
In terms of prices, you just can’t beat them. SmartBuyGlasses has a best price guarantee. That means if you find a better price for the same pair of glasses somewhere else, SmartBuyGlasses will honor that price. You have 14 days from the time of purchase to make good on this offer, but that’s a pretty sweet deal. Additionally, SmartBuyGlasses has a 24-month warranty on all glasses purchased. That’s twice as long as the industry average.
Shipping is free, unless you want the order expedited. Since standard shipping is generally 1-2 business days anyway, it’s hardly worthwhile paying the $10.40 for faster shipping. SmartBuyGlasses has a lot of discounts too. You can get a 10% military discount, 35% seniors discount, and a 10% student discount. SmartBuyGlasses also runs frequent sales, so it’s worthwhile signing up for the email updates.
Types of Glasses
As you would expect from a collection that’s 100,000 glasses strong, SmartBuyGlasses has all types of glasses, including:
- Non-prescription glasses
- Reading glasses
- Single vision
- Bifocal glasses
- Progressive lenses
- Blue light filter lenses
Refunds and Returns
One of the things we like about SmartBuyGlasses is its customer-friendly policies. For one thing, you can return glasses for 100 days from the time you receive your purchase for a full refund. SmartBuyGlasses also lets you exchange any unused products within its original packaging for new ones within the same time frame.
What’s more, SmartBuyGlasses has a 24-month warranty against the manufacturer’s defects. Both of these policies are longer than the average times, and it says a lot about SmartBuyGlasses as a company.
Customer Service
SmartBuyGlasses has a ton of useful support information online. You can get buying guides to help you figure out the best frames for you. Buying guides include choosing the right frames, online eye tests, designer brand selection, and more. There’s also a tremendous help center with FAQs about everything from lenses quality to shipping and returns. SmartBuyGlasses also has several customer service options, including phone and email.
