Took my money and supplied the wrong glasses.

I needed a some safety glasses with specialist lenses for work. Safety Protection Glasses were one of the only places I could find that offered these lenses, and the only one I could find in the UK.

I placed my order on 9th September 2025. After a fair wait, a pair of glasses was received. The quality was good, but the lens type was wrong. I let them know, and they processed the order again. A second pair of glasses, identical to the first arrived. Still wrong. Still not what I had paid for.

They offered to option of a refund, and also said that they would be talking with the manufacturer and making sure the correct lenses were used in the replacement order.

That was the last I ever heard from them. No refund. No glasses. No replies to any of my emails. It is now April 2026, over 6 months later.

I give up.

Terrible Experience - Avoid This Company

Here’s my frustrating experience with this awful company:

I placed an order in mid-August for safety glasses, adding extras like thinner lenses and transitions. The product description stated that transition lenses included an anti-reflective coating. I confirmed this over the phone, as they also had a separate option for an anti-reflective coating at an extra cost. I was assured I didn’t need to pay extra because it was included.

Shortly after ordering, I found a 10% discount code in my spam folder and contacted the company to apply it. They initially denied sending the promotional email and made me forward it as proof. After a week of calls and emails with no action, I asked them to cancel the order so I could reorder with the discount. They cancelled my order and the working promo code. I had to fight to get the discount reinstated, and they acted like they were doing me a favour by honouring their own promotion.

About a month after placing my second order, I finally received the glasses - only to discover they lacked the anti-reflective coating promised in the description. After several days, the company admitted their website was incorrect and refused to fix it unless I paid £40. After multiple conversations, they finally said they’d add the coating for free and told me I’d get the glasses back in 10 days.

Day 9 came, and I heard nothing. When I contacted them, they cited delays and said it would be another week. I reminded them I needed the glasses by a specific date, but they missed the deadline. They then blamed customs, though their initial timeline was unrealistic regardless. Frustrated, I requested a partial refund for the massive inconvenience. Instead, they repeatedly offered to cancel my order, ignoring that I still wanted the glasses.

Finally, 26 days after they collected the glasses, they emailed me to say they’d just received them back. Instead of apologising or offering compensation, they cancelled my order entirely, claiming they’d "spent an inordinate amount of time in dealing with this". They insisted they’d done nothing wrong because they fixed their website error and couldn’t control customs delays.

I ended up ordering the exact same glasses from a company called RX Safety. They arrived in less than two weeks and were perfect.

Save yourself the hassle - don’t waste your time with this incompetent company.

I ordered 5 glasses over two months ago and still haven't received any. A few weeks after I placed the order they canceled one item because the model was discontinued. A week later, two more were also canceled for the same reason. I'm still waiting for the remaining items of the order

The glasses are well made to my exact prescription. Received a discount on my initial order and have purchased some other glasses on sale. Can’t fault the service, arrived when they said and would buy again. Highly recommended 👍

Good Quality Product and Efficient Team

My glasses arrive within the time frame they promised. They are brilliant quality and I now use them everyday. The team were helpful too when I called them about questions before ordering them.

Poor service - Pretty much identical post to the last…

Pretty much identical post to the last review. I payed £114 on 8th August and it is now the 2nd September. I have received confirmation of my order but have not received my glasses. I have sent several messages through the website and email's and have not heard from them. They telephone number does not connect and chat function on website is not available. Won't be using again and will be reporting to trading standards.

No communication due to part time office staff

I payed £144 on 27th November and it is now the 12th of December. I haven't received any confirmation of my order and haven't received my glasses. I have sent a message through the website and 2 email's and still haven't heard from them. Won't be using again and will be reporting to trading standards.
Since writing the post they have replied to my emails and shipped my glasses.

Michael,

Many thanks for your review, I am sorry you have had a hard time in contacting us. We are a small family business and our sales and admin teams work part time, unfortunately this fell on the days you contacted us. While making your order you will have seen the notice on the Cart page, Checkout page, our Shipping page and Information page where we state that it can take up to 21 days to manufacture and ship your glasses to you.
I understand from our shipping department that they spoke to you upon our return and receipt of your emails and your glasses were shipped well within the 21 days we request upon order.
I hope this has gone some way to clarify the issue for you. You can continue to contact us at info@safetyprotectionglasses.com and I will reply as soon as we are in the office.

Explained my prescription for me

I got a new eye test this July and needed some safety glasses for my woodworking. I don't really understand what the numbers and letters mean but the person on the chat system was quite helpful, they explained to me what lens type I was looking for, ones called bifocals which I've never had before. Glasses arrived quick and came with a cloth and case. 5 star service

Do not use safetyprotectionglasses

I purchased reading glasses from Safetyprotectionglasses. I reported distorted vision when using the glasses and was told this is normal for reading glasses. They offered to replace the lenses for an additional charge. Having already spent £100+ I was not inclined throw more good money after bad. My advice would be to go to one of the high street opticians for a cheaper product that actually works.

Trevor many thanks for your review.
Given the information that you provided at the time of placing your order, your glasses were made to a near reading addition in your prescription.
It has emerged during your conversations with our team that you actual required an intermediate reading addition for using your laptop or possibly bifocals / varifocals as you have also mentioned using them for distance as well.
I would encourage you to contact our team before placing an order for prescription glasses, as it can often be confusing if you are not familiar with your prescription and the distances you require the lenses to be made to. Our team are fully versed on what you would require in this instance and we have a 24 hour online chat system should you have any queries when placing an order.
Your replacement lenses were offered at a 50% discount as we were willing to work with you to overcome your initial ordering error.
I am sorry that you have decided to provided a negative review of us as we were keen to work with you to resolve this issue in full.
