Quotes of the week

Hear from some of the most impactful users to drive changes

I bought one of the more expensive pairs they had. The Maren Style. Three months in one arm snapped off and I couldn’t get my money back or a new pair. I had to glue them until my order from a different company arrived. Where I got 3 pairs for the same price of the one pair I bought at Warby Parker. It’s a shame because I really like the style but clearly they don’t use quality materials or methods.
AW4215
This is supposed to be some new modern business but literally nothing works. I wait 2 weeks for my glasses and get no update. Then they send me an email saying they need more info, I complete the info but that info doesn’t get saved so it sits in purgatory waiting and I keep getting emails saying they need my PD but that has been done 3 times already and somehow that doesn’t get saved so I wait and wait. Glasses are fine, but what a terrible experience with literally everything else in the whole process. I’d rather pay more money to not deal with this company ever again.

I was interested to try the virtual try-on but it was never available no matter what I tried.
