I ordered a designer frame through eyeglassesdepot.com. It is the same company as opticsfast.com. Two days later I received a standard email - which it looks like has been sent to many others - informing me that the frame I ordered was damaged, sent back to the manufacturer, but was unfortunately no longer available. I requested my money back and instead was urged over and over again to chose a different product. I had to dispute the charges through Amex in order to get my money back. I have also reported this to the better business burreau in NY and would urge others to do the same.
Here is a sample of their standard email reply:
Dear XXX,
I am very very sorry for the delay in your order. Let me explain what happened.
The item was in stock with a Store Quantity of 1. Prior to each shipment my team.
We check each and every frame to make sure they 100% perfect with no issues or problems.
The item you purchased had contained a small crack on the frame and I was not comfortable in sending the defective item.
The item was sent back to manufacturer & reordered another pair.
I got a phone call later in the day to inform us that this item is DISCONTINUED & can NO longer be obtained.
Maybe you want to select an entirely different frame? I have noted your account and have issued you a 15% OFF
your next order for this problem. The 15% is fully transferable to any of your family friends, coworkers or anyone you know.
Now I also had an idea, maybe you already own this existing pair of eyewear and you want them repaired?
