Default Online Glasses buying

Have you guys bought online glasses before? I saw the free glasses clearlycontacts was doing a few weeks ago but was not fast enough to order a pair. What were your guys' experience with them and/or other companies? Fast turn around? quality?

The part I'm most scared about is the pupil distance. That's a b**** to measure.

How can you see what you're buying?

My buddy did. He got his PD measured when he got his eye test.

Had nothing but great things to say about ClearlyContacts. He didn't like the first pair he ordered, so he called em up and they provided prepaid shipping back(and a full refund) and he ordered a different pair.

Wow that last bit is incredible. I was going to try that thing they have where you upload an image and put glasses on you to see how you look. I try to upload it but it won't show up. I'll try it at school tomorrow. But this refund thing is interesting... must not cost them very much to make glasses

I did that virtual thing and it worked really well; found quite a few pairs that I thought looked good on me but I missed the Winnipeg promo; I'm trying again next week for when they give them away to Ottawa.

I've had a great experiences with CC, but for contacts. Ordered 10 boxes during a sale for probably half the price that I normally pay. Fast shipping too.

My gf has been ordering from Clearly Contacts for quite some time. I dont know much about glasses, but she has been happy with the service and the price.

I get my contacts from them and recently got a pair of glasses. The price can't be beat that's for sure. I perhaps got my PD a little off as I have some depth perception issues but then I did some reading which suggested it may just be because I'm so used to contacts. I wear my glasses only the 1-2 nights a month I pop my contacts out so it's really not a big deal.
