I ordered a pair of glasses for $75 and…

I ordered a pair of glasses for $75 and I waited for them to be processed and shipped. Not only were they never shipped but apparently they were never processed either. I waited two or three weeks for a pair of glasses that never came while the tracking number still showed it was in California. I let them know when they allowed me to re-order the glasses. And after I re-order the classes. I’ve never heard from them again. I did get an order confirmation. I let them know when they allowed me to re-order the glasses. And after I re-order the classes. I’ve never heard from them again. I did get an order confirmation for the re-order glasses for the re-ordered glasses for the re-ordered glasses but never got a tracking number. Never heard from them again after that. Waited another two weeks maybe three still hadn’t heard anything from them so I eventually just got my refund. I do believe this company is a scam and I do not recommend ordering from it ever. .

Fast and professional support. The support promptly adjusted my order and offered me a refund. The Rx glasses that I ordered work perfectly. My eyes are feeling more comfortable while I wear the amber glasses. I am glad to order the Black Panther frame, Wakanda Forever!

Not enough options the fallout glasses…

Not enough options the fallout glasses don't have different frame size options I guess this company thinks everyone has the same size head. No info on what kind of transition coating they use. Better off getting glasses through a more reputable company.

Good value. You will not be dissapointed.

I got a pair of Monitor/Reader glasses from my son (whos name is Gunnar) for Christmas. Lenses are high quality and the frames very comfortable. I liked them so I got a second pair lost those and here I am getting a replacement pair. These are great value as far as quality/comfort/price. These are worth it, you will not be disappointed.

Terrible return

Took approx. 5 days to receive the product, and when they arrived, I realized they were pretty uncomfortable. Gunnar charged me $12 from the refund to 2 day ship it back to them, so I lost money on glasses I didn’t even like. Awesome service.

Glasses came defective

Glasses came defective, the left lense seems to be off center. I had my eye doctor check the lenses and they told me that they are not correct. Labeled the glasses to show how the glasses are off center. I told this to your warranty support and they said it sounded like my glasses are not set correctly on my face. I have had a hard time dealing with this and glasses are not usable. My company got these for our office and several people have defects or issues with their left lens. I'm very disappointed in Gunnar, I thought they had better quality then this both in glasses and support. I would not recommend your company to anyone at this time.
