| - I LOVE Clearly Contacts, and NO I did not at all know they had a physical store! HELLO, STORE!!!
It's the only place I'll buy my glasses. I don't take care of my glasses, I'm very lousy. And it hurts me to pay $500 for a pair that I'll destroy in a month. So I don't buy. I would instead wear contact lenses for 18 hours just to avoid glasses.
ENTER: CLEARLY CONTACTS .ca
So I bought my pair online over a year ago. The service is fantastic.
365-DAY RETURN POLICY.
Who's going to beat that?
And yes I've taken advantage of the return policy. VERY EASY to deal with!!!
Now, I love them. Yes.
But the actual store? OH, MY. ALSO 5 STARS.
They had SO many people to help. Everybody is friendly, we didn't at all feel pressured to buy. AGAIN: SO MANY PEOPLE TO HELP! They're just EVERYWHERE! And they're super friendly!
- The store has about 30% of its actual inventory. If you find something you like online, they can order it for you to try in store. No obligations, no shipping fees
- If your glasses' arms are too long, they can adjust this to fit you better (they did mine!)
- At the moment it's 15% off the pair you buy in-stores
- But yes, you can still buy yours online at your own time.
THIS IS PROBABLY ON YOUR MIND: UH, THE QUALITY OF MY GLASSES?
I took advantage of the "first pair free" promo -available only on selected glasses of course. I was looking for something simple anyways. The first pair had a slanted bolt, which made the glasses look stupidly slanted on my face. I had this for 8 months because I was too lazy to return them. In the end I did return and received a new 100% perfect pair.
I paid $30 total for: shipping, the lenses, and anti-glare? Something like that? It's like $10 for each "service" you need on your lenses. I didn't pay return shipping.
The first 3 months of owning this frame, it was heavy (I bought big ones) and sat on my cheeks uncomfortably. I reminded myself that they're cheap, deal with them. A year later, my face gets tired after a long day (20 hours) of wearing glasses (before, I'd be tired at hour 6). But I love them a lot! They look great, they're a tad heavy still (I'm -4) and they slide down my face often. But whatever! They work, they're pretty. My friend's glasses (from Clearly) broke :(
For the glasses snob out there, I'm actually a makeup snob. So I get you. I buy NARS. I don't buy L'Oreal. But for glasses, I really don't want to spend a fortune. Clearly Contacts sells brands like Kate Spade and Armani as well! (Mine, unfortunately, are the cheapest kind. But I get compliments all the time when I wear them. SO HA.)
