Prompt Response

Following Fastway's shutdown and a phone call to Alensa, the team promptly sent me a new order of lenses as my original order was in transit back to them. I urgently needed the lenses and I received the new order 2 days later. I was very impressed with Alensa's response to my predicament considering the problem was not of their making. Many thanks.

Dear Edward,

we are so sorry to hear that and we do apologize deeply. We have issued you a compensation for the troubles in the form of store credit and informed the courier. The courier company has since gone bankrupt since yesterday, so we can assure you those issues will never occur again. Please, let us know if there are any issues with the products inside, or it was just the packaging that was stained/damaged by the waste. You can use our email address info@alensa.ie, or the phone number on the bottom of the website www.alensa.ie. We will be happy to assist you should there be any further discrepancies.

We do apologize deeply for any and all inconveniences caused.

Good price, Quick Delivery. Better than Vision Direct.

Good price. Quick no nonsense delivery. I switched to Alensa from VisionDirect.ie who ship to Ireland from the UK leading to import duty charges.
