Is It Safe To Buy Prescription Eyeglasses From Overseas?

By:


Modern communications and postal services such as Airmail, Amtrak and Fedex mean that your glasses can be delivered almost as quickly from Paris Texas or Paris France - irrespective of your point of origin. However as with any other product or sector there are good and bad online glasses retailers both domestically/locally and overseas. Choose the right company and in most cases, you will be delighted by the experience; choose the wrong firm and you may lose both sleep and your money! So how do you differentiate between the good, the bad and the ugly online glasses stores?

The good news is that by using a few simple rules, you can make a good informed choice and bag yourself an online prescription eyeglasses bargain, irrespective of whether you buy your eyewear from a domestic or overseas supplier. Stick to my 5 golden rules and you should be able to find a trustworthy online glasses company:-

1.Always pay by Credit Card. In the event of any problems or scams, credit card companies should be able to get your money back.

2.Whilst China and India offer extremely cheap offers on most things, including eyeglasses, there is less regulation and more corruption and quality is less guaranteed. It is safer to stick with a more modern first world country such as the UK, USA or Canada.

3.Choose a company with a clearly published phone number. I would also recommend that before you make your purchase, you may want to try either phoning or emailing the firm you have shortlisted and asking them a quick question to see how quickly they respond and whether they provide a sensible answer. A quick and articulate response is likely to demonstrate a decent level of service and aftercare, a slow and or poor response to your question is indicative of a poorly run company.

4.Select a firm which offers a money back guarantee (countries such as the UK automatically have laws which afford protection to mail order customers allowing them to return their goods within a 30 day period of ordering (The Distance Selling Act 2000.) Choose a firm that clearly offers this on their website.

5.Choose an online glasses firm that offers a clear guarantee on both the frames and lenses of your eyeglasses. Accept 6 months as a minimum, although 12 months is preferable.
So there you have it. Avoid the jungle and enjoy the global village; happy online glasses shopping wherever you are and wherever you go!
