DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY. As others have said, I'm wondering if this company is actually a scam. Terms and conditions on the website say glasses will be delivered within 28 days, I'm now at 31 days and... See more

Very helpful service from Optically
Optically were very helpful in answered questions and in providing costs for my prescription which requires special lenses. The shipment to New Zealand was in a reasonable time. And the glasses matched the description.
I ordered glasses and heard nothing for…
I ordered glasses and heard nothing for weeks, then got no response and finally after asking for a refund was told the frames i ordered were broken, I picked new frames out, then was told they were broken too. So I picked new frames. Then I was asked for another 45 dollars as my prescription was so hard. It wasn't. When they finally arrived the prescription was wrong and I cant use them. never again. I cant read with them at all and the prescription I entered was correct , it worked perfectly on my previous glasses

Quality glasses at great prices
Quality glasses at great prices, customer service people are very helpful. Will be ordering again.
Wonderful range of glasses to choose…
Wonderful range of glasses to choose from. Have bought many pairs previously and have now just re ordered more with an updated prescription.
Horrible, slow service, still waiting
Horrible service, horrible support.
This claims to be a local company, it is not. I'm a month into this experience, and I'm not even sure where the glasses I sent to reglaze are, they have been "in transit to Sydney" for three weeks.
Customer support seems to be there to delay and placate. Excuse after excuse, each contradicting the last. Responses come days late, no tracking, no updates unless I chase and then they are vague and ignore my questions, adding a diiferent excuse each time.
Shockingly bad experience, and I am left wondering when (or if) I will ever get my glasses back. Avoid at all costs, use literally any other reglazing service there is.

Communication was good
Communication was good. Cost was reasonable and competitive, My Glasses were unusual with larger frames which took longer than expected, However Mike kept me informed, I would recommend this company and use them again.
7 weeks to get glasses, excuses ++
Website states 5 to 10 working days if frame in stock . Took 7 weeks. Each time I emailed was given a different excuse when they bothered to reply . Customer service is shocking . They don't bother to email to advise of delays. I think the only reason they have a customer service department is to field of the complaints and enquiries about "where is my order!" And think up a new excuse . Definitely would not order from them again .very stressful experience.
Great communication
Great communication, great product. Had 3 pairs done now!
Three weeks since I ordered my glasses still not here
Three weeks since I ordered my glasses, I am still waiting for delivery. Comms are slow. They gave me a shipment update two weeks ago from Aus Post, and if the actual item exists, it is somehow lost. I asked them to chase but promised but have not received a response. These people are not NZ-based; I don't think they are Aus-based. Avoid better options out there. Saying it was because of my unique script is a bit of a joke given you had this when I made my order traditional stores never had issue and got in a week
The standard of service from Optically…
The standard of service from Optically is second to none.
Could have been better
In the past have had excellent quick service. This time it took from May to August to receive my glasses. Holdups were frustrating, but pleased with glasses when they arrived.
Never received product, delay or scam??
I ordered 5 pairs of glasses from this company. Two of the pairs broke during construction, so I had to pay extra as they were out of stock of the frames. Then I paid extra, two times, to ensure the existing three that were ready to be sent would ship on time. They took another month to ship those. I am still waiting on the other two pairs and have gotten no reply from their support team in weeks. Is this company even still operating?
Not made in NZ
Agree with another review - I asked if frames in stock as needed urgently before going to hospital. Specifically used as seemed to be NZ site with Johnsonville office. Now seems they are coming from Australia, or is it elsewhere via Australia? Disappointed since reply acknowledging my urgency made no reference to it coming from overseas and now won't receive in time.
Appreciate reply - its not a complicated prescription, I just wish you said when we emailed to allow for it to come from overseas because by the time it arrived I will be 250km away so no use for intended purpose. Strange too that optically.co.nz doesn't come up in companies search? Just be transparent - the product seems good just don't understand your reluctance to say you're an intermediary for product sourced offshore.

great options and service was pleasently surprised how easy it is compared to the local optician
Always great customer follow up and help
Great Fast delivery
Fast delivery. Easy to order. Great to have the opportunity to try the glasses on your actual face. I ordered glasses for my son & he is happy with then.
Excellent quality and fast service.
Considering Covid
Considering Covid, the service was excellent. Both me and my wife are absolutely thrilled with having our glasses reglazed & repaired.
Recommend Optical any day.
