The discount code for ContactsDirect's…

The discount code for ContactsDirect's unexplained cancellation of my order did not work on my order and the online chat person said the only way for the code to work was to call in and place my order. Very frustrating to have the cancellation and then to not have the code provided by ContactsDirect to apply to my order actually work without more work on my end

Highly Recommend

Great experience every time I order. There are always promotions that you can apply at checkout which offer significant savings. Even with the standard delivery option, my contacts typically arrive at my home within a few days of ordering. Highly recommend ordering from ContactsDirect - especially after working in optometry for many years and trying several other companies.

I do not believe humans work there

I do not believe humans work there.
I called. I emailed. I texted. All to no avail. No one could give me the information I needed. I submitted my contact prescription twice but they would not call to verify it. It seems their contact information is entirely a bad form of AI. I will never use them again. AI is good at giving 30% off coupons, though.

Same as getting your contacts from the optometrist just a fraction of the price

I love getting my contacts from contacts direct, they’re cheaper than going through your primary optometrist and I just think the process is so easy, just upload your prescription, Choose the contact lenses you want and you receive them at doorstep. The optometrist was trying to charge me like $200 for a 3 month supply. I was able to get a three month supply for 90 bucks. I’ll stick with getting my contacts from contacts direct.
