"My son and I have used 39Dollar Glasses multiple times over the past 5 years, and honestly I don't know why I ever let myself get talked into buying glasses from the optometry shop (at the mall) where I get my eye exams. The glasses we buy through 39DG are (as far as I can tell) of comparable quality to the ones I pay hundreds of dollars for at the mall. Except for obvious name-brand frames such as Oakley or Maui Jim (for sunglasses), I really could care less about the expensive name brands for my everyday glasses.
Recently my son lost his (expensive) glasses and needed replacements before he went back on the road for business travel. He picked out a frame style that was very similar (almost exact match) to the ones he'd lost. He bought TWO pair for $70 (his original single pair from the mall cost him over $200.) Can't beat that. And the quality of the prescription lenses are absolutely indiscernible from the expensive pair.
Five years or so ago I myself bought a "backup" pair of glasses to ones I had bought from the optometrist's. I ended up using my backup pair more than the original pair because they were more comfortable. They're still sitting here on my desk as backups (my prescription changed slightly, but I can still use them).
The ordering site instructs you on how to read your prescription and provides guides for measurement if needed. They even provide a feature to view the glasses on models OR even upload your own photo so you can preview what the glasses will (approximately) look like on you.
Can't beat the price. The quality is comparable to more expensive brands. The turnaround time for delivery is actually faster than the optometrist (with the exception of Lens Crafters); and the ordering process is not that complicated.
We're happy customers!"
"Perfect! Just as described."
" My classes have not been delivered an awful lot of time has gone bye."
"This web site was given to me by a friend and the savings based on your prescription and lens choices are remarkable. My purchase was $233.00 on glasses that I paid $580.00 and more stylish frames"
"Quick shipment and son was pleased with glasses."
"Love my new glasses. Will be a customer for a longgggggg time."
"Glasses were fine, prescription fine. doing your own adjustments on the fit were a slight problem. However, I would not hesitate to order from 39dollar again."
"Everything went very easily and quickly getting my glasses. When I got them in the mail they were just what I ordered and worked perfect.
I am very satisfied with the whole experience."
"I am very satisfied with my new glasses. They are very stylish and can see extremely well. The delivery met my expectations also."
"39dollarglasses promises fast service but I have been waiting 2 weeks for my glasses and they still haven't even shipped. Apparently one pair failed inspection, and they can't/won't ship the good pair separately. I called the company 2 days ago and was told "your glasses should ship today" -- but, as of today, the website still indicates that my glasses are "pending." I am very frustrated with this company and will probably not use them again. "
"Great glasses! When a pair had issues with arms that wouldn't move easily, they sent me a replacement super fast. Lots of styles and well within price range!"
"Shipment was delayed due to failed inspection.
"
"I was skeptical, but it really works! And my final price came in $100 less than my lowest retail store price."
"39Dollar Glasses made the ordering process easy, and they were quick to ship my order. I was using my new prescription sunglasses in no time. "
"The first batch of three glasses I ordered came within three days! They were all fine. I reordered another pair and it was a lot slower, but the holiday was in there. All the glasses seem just fine and I'm glad I bought them there. Thanks!"
