Jump to unread Post a CommentI've bought lots of specs from them, all have been fine. Yes, astigmatism (cylinder) prescriptions are more complicated, but I have astigmatism and they have still been good. Can as you say take awhile to arrive from Pakistan.
Never again :-\
Most eye centres e.g. specsavers have machines which can read your current prescription in your glasses

The Goggles4U Facebook page said, last Tuesday, that this 2PAIRS20 code was for "72 hours". Which would make this offer EXPIRED. Days ago.
The current FB promotion, posted 3 hours ago is: "Get yourself a Geek Chic pair of glasses this Halloween at a wicked 10% off on entire Geek collection. Code: 10Geek".
See the promo picture blurb for the 23rd October entry: https://www.facebook.com/Goggles4u.Eyeglasses it clearly states the offer runs out in 72 hours.

They've been around for years. I've used them in the past. It's an American company.
I have bought several pairs of glasses from them over a period of years.
They are fine and have never screwed up any of my orders.
I guess their really cheap frames are remaindered and limited in size and style. I bet that some of them never sell at any price, but I have found some good ones. I even got a pair of titanium ones in the $4.95 price range a few months ago (got them in VDU-range prescription for computer use, wearing them now).
Obviously the prices are dearer but the quality is incomparable, and is it worth a couple quids saving for potentially health threatening glasses?
But if you do choose to buy online, please don't get your eyes tested at an independant, both private and NHS funded tests don't cover the costs of a sight test, not even half! So use a chain like Boots or Specsavers.
Rant and plea over.
If you look at the Goggles4U Facebook page there's no indication this offer has been resurrected from last Tuesday (it lasted 3 days, so ran out last Friday).

schaitel, in what way are online-bought spectacles "health-threatening"? I think common sense needs to be exercised here..if you have a simple prescription you can save a heck of a lot of money. People with more complex sight problems wouldn't, I assume, risk doing the online route. Your other point, about "quality" (unless you mean aftercare, and even that can be hit or miss)..some Goggles4U frames are stamped Japan and Italian-made. I'd be very surprised if the non-designer frames in UK opticians don't originate from China either.
I've yet to get my Goggles4U pairs and a little nervous seeing as experiences are mixed..but I've spent less than a quarter than I would normally. I avoided the thin, spindly looking frames and bought similar styles to my usual. And for rimless frames they're stupidly cheap; opticians charge even more of a premium for those, even though they're more fragile than ordinary frames.

I used the code last night with no issues. As for responding, I usually ignore anything containing the word "facebook".
But if you do choose to buy online, please don't get your eyes tested at an independant, both private and NHS funded tests don't cover the costs of a sight test, not even half! So use a chain like Boots or Specsavers.
Yeah, wife and I were subjected to a diatribe by an "independent" optician (actually a small chain) when we refused to buy specs after getting a test. We certainly won't go there again.
Where did you get the 2PAIRS20 code from, then?! Either Facebook or the HUKD post I put on here last week.
I was only wanting confirmation that the code worked. Thanks anyway ;) A bit miffed that my post got very cold, particularly after putting so many links/examples/PD measurement links, but that's the way of HUKD.
It was my very first time requesting my prescription from my optician a few weeks back..and she was quite rude. I was very honest and told her I was buying online. I can absolutely understand why they feel they're losing £s (I read on MSE that opticians don't make much out of NHS sight tests, the profits are made through spectacles purchases) but this is the way of the world..we all try to save money where we can. My prescription is pretty straightforward so I thought I'd give Goggles4U a punt.
