Free Pair If we fail to dispatch within 10 Working Days

On average we generally dispatch all glasses within 3 working days. Sometimes (normally when we are chasing suppliers) it can take a little longer. But whatever the reason if we fail to dispatch you glasses within 10 working days of receiving your fully completed order we will supply you, at our cost with a pair of single lens glasses from our standard range.
When ordering varifocals, the fully completed order is when we have all centration details for fulfilling the order.
