Unacceptable response to a genuine complaint
Extremely concerning customer service experience.
After placing my order, I sent multiple emails (six in total) trying to resolve an issue after they failed to deliver on the agreed date. These emails were ignored.
Instead of addressing the problem, the company attempted to shut down my complaint entirely. I was told the matter was “closed” despite it remaining unresolved.
What I found most concerning was that they warned further contact could be considered harassment and referenced potential legal action, simply because I was following up on a legitimate consumer issue and they had failed to reply. This felt intimidating and like an attempt to discourage me from pursuing my rights.
It also gave the impression that they were trying to prevent me from speaking out or leaving a review about my experience.
As a paying customer, being ignored and then treated in this way is unacceptable. This situation caused significant stress and anxiety and was handled in a highly unprofessional manner.
They initially attempted to offer me a complimentary set of lenses due to their own miscommunication. This compensation clearly related to their initial misrepresentation, not to the subsequent delays in delivery.
On multiple occasions, they provided firm assurances regarding delivery timelines, which they then failed to meet. Despite this, they continue to claim that I have already been compensated, which does not address the later delays at all.
When I followed up repeatedly for updates on my order, my messages were ignored. Instead of providing clarification, they have accused me of harassment, even though I have only been making reasonable enquiries about the status of my purchase.
Their conduct has been highly unprofessional and dismissive. I am fully entitled to clear and accurate information about my order. Being ignored and then accused in this way feels both unfair and intimidating.
I have retained all correspondence and will be escalating this matter further. This situation has caused me considerable stress and has negatively affected my mental wellbeing.
Disappointed as I thought I’d genuinely found a new/alternative provider.
I would not recommend based on this experience.

Thanks for your review SY, however we are disappointed to read this review and your subsequent update as it does not accurately reflect the situation or the extensive correspondence that took place.
Your complaint related to a one day delivery delay, after which repeated communications were sent to our team requesting a full refund, compensation for alleged loss of earnings and reimbursement based on your hourly rate earnings. For context, your order total was £80 and you requested compensation of £320. These requests were neither proportionate nor something any retailer would reasonably provide in these circumstances.
Despite this, we responded across multiple detailed email replies explaining our position clearly and professionally. Additionally, we provided you with extra lenses, free of charge, as a gesture of goodwill for the one day delay. The matter was only marked as closed after several responses had been provided, and our final position on your request for compensation had been communicated.
While we respect every customer’s right to leave feedback, we do not believe it is fair to suggest concerns were ignored simply because your requested compensation was not granted. Equally, the volume and escalated nature of your communications directed towards our team across email and social media caused significant concern internally, and we have a responsibility to protect our staff from persistent and repetitive contact once a matter has been fully addressed and concluded.
We hope readers can recognise the difference between legitimate customer feedback and an attempt to damage a business’s reputation after unreasonable compensation requests were declined.
We stand by the manner in which this matter was handled and do not believe this review fairly reflects the level of service and communication provided throughout.
Very good service as usual

Amazing Customer Service
Amazing Customer Service. I ordered a product that did not really work for my eyes and after contacting them online I received a call apologising, although not their fault, offering me a refund and suggesting a suitable product. Very impressed. Would recommend to anyone.

Excellent customer service
Excellent customer service. My order was for toric multifocals which were made to order so took longer than ordinary contact lenses. I needed them before I went on a holiday and The Optical Store kept me informed at all times and they arranged for next day delivery when my lenses did arrive. One very happy customer who received the said lenses on time. Customer Service is often lacking these days but I can honestly say that The Optical Store provided that much needed old fashioned service.
