The timely matter upon receiving my new pair of glasses. There was a little bit of confusion with the billing on the computer screen. I do like the fact it took less time when the employee I saw from my previous visit came over and knew how to downplay it. Straighten everything out. I know there's one more pair I'm expecting, but no rush. Things are great with the entire payment paid off for the two glasses.
