Opticontacts - Received defective product, They will not refund
Updated by user Oct 03, 2023

2023-10-03 The company contacted me and resolved the situation. I feel that public posting on reviews sites helped address this. I revised my review from 1 to a 4

Original review Oct 02, 2023
I ordered 8 boxes of contacts on order #1709****. After using 2 partial boxes, it became clear that the product was defective. I contacted the company and they will not provide a refund for defective boxes or the handling/processing fees. DO NOT ORDER from this company - they do not stand behind their product and took too long to respond. Meanwhile, I do not have contacts

Shipping Issue and Scam Level Fees

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full

This company basically wants to charge "handling fees" that are equal to whatever you buy. Spend $450 handling is $400, spend $70 and handling is $68.

Then you complete the order, after also paying $13 for shipping, which is insane for something that weights maybe 4 oz which is more than triple that actual cost f standard shipping. Then get a message that says something to the effect of "you will get these in 3-4 days" and when day 5 rolls around I contact them and point this out and the reply is "that's not possible." So, ya I sure hope I don't tear a contact in the next 2 months when I am out of country, or I can pay out the butt for DHL to get it to Germany.

Deceptive promotion to get you to their site.

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
Opticontacts uses deception to get you to their site offering a huge discount - like 66% to 70%. If you use the discount they offer, then they charge you a $46 processing fee plus shipping. If you remove the discount, then no processing fee and shipping is free. The net bottom line, is when I compared their discounted price with another contact lense seller, both were within $10. Don't fall for the teaser discount.Shop around

EXCELLENT CUSTOMER SERVICE

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
Ive been a customer for several years now and will never go anywhere else. I rarely write reviews for anything but I felt guilty not writing one for this because this company literally has the best customer service that Ive ever experienced. I literally got a free pair of prescription glasses just for being a customer. Didnt even have to pay shipping. They make everything very easy for you.

BEWARE - Deceiving Sales Practices

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
Just wait until you go to the "Shipping & Billing" window for the true price. They add on an "Insurance & Processing fee". My order for contacts came to $138.90 and they added on a processing fee of $152.79. Yes the processing fee was more than the contacts.

Cons:
  • Misleading pricing

Product and delivery were as expected. Only criticism is inaccuracy of pricing when browsing online.

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
Once I entered the "shopping cart," the additional fees and insurance inflated the price to double or more than what the quoted per-unit price was.

Opticontacts is nothing but a big scam. Daily 1 box of 90 contacts on the site for 39.00.

I selected 12 boxes which totaled about $480.00. Then when you put in your payment information, the price doubles to over $800.00. So I called customer service and they said the other $400 that was added was a "processing fee." So the shipping and handling on 12 boxes of contacts is $400? What a scam.

They tried to say "even with the processing fees, they are still cheaper than other sites." Basically, it is false advertising. Opticontacts should be shut down by the Better Business Bureau and by anyone who investigates scams on websites.

Preferred solution: Price reduction

User's recommendation: Prices advertised are not real. Processing fee for 480.00 worth of contacts was an additional $400.00. SCAM!

Scam - low price then they add outrageous processing fees

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
They had a low price on Dailies Multifocal 90 count. Once you put in your shipping address, the price almost doubled due to "Insurance and Processing Fees". Forget it! What a scammer.

Cheap and easy

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
Idk if they accept my insurance bc I used it for glasses instead this year, but they are so cheap, I didnt need to use my insurance. A years worth of my brand of contacts was still cheaper than my glasses with my insurance! They were safely delivered to my mailbox and they send an email to confirm I received them. Excellent service

Was not informed of back order until after order placed and 2 day shipping paid for. Pulling teeth getting info and responses from customer service. Finally got shipping notification and of course, it is still sitting 3000 miles away on the day it is suppose to be delivered. Can't reach anyone by phone. Lagged email response. No clue when contacts are coming and no one is answering me. This company is a total scam and I'm going to the bank tomorrow dispute charge. WORST CONTACTS COMPANY I HAVE DEALT WITH IN YEARS.

Good experience.

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
Easy to use website. Prompt and accurate delivery. I don't have more to say, but the website is forcing me to enter at least a 100 characters. Whoever's paying for this survey should check with their provider as it is ridiculous that I need to enter a minimum of 100 characters.

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
I accidentally had autoship on, they had charged me the amount which was charged and then the next day I had canceled the order, waited 3-5 business days to get my refund and did not receive it, its now 2 weeks since the day and I still have not received it, their customer service is absolute trash, unhelpful, I don't recommend anyone ordering from this shady company, go to a different legit website or company that offer truthful customer service.
