I returned the glasses as they were faulty and one lens was more out of focus than my old glasses. I was then told I will only be refunded the price of the frames and delivery. The majority of the costs is in the lenses. They would only put this part of the refund as a credit for future purchases. Like I am going to do that !!!!

Dear Maurice,
Thank you for your feedback and we’re sorry to hear of your disappointment.
We can see that our Team have already been in touch directly regarding your return and your glasses have been sent to our Lab for a full check.
To ensure complete accuracy when reviewing the lenses and prescription details supplied, we’ve asked for a little more information from you - specifically confirmation of the prescription date and your pupillary distance (PD). This will help us identify whether the issue relates to the prescription or the manufacturing of the lenses.
As explained, our lenses are made bespoke to each order and are therefore non-refundable unless a fault is confirmed. Should our Lab identify any fault in the lenses, you will of course be entitled to a full refund.
We appreciate your patience while this investigation is ongoing and will keep you updated directly with the outcome.
You are supplying my new fixed rate tariffs at exactly the same rate as I am currently paying so i wont be making any savings, just fixing the tariff for the next 16 months. However you are saying I shall be saving ???
Next Customer service needs to review how they handle complaints. After my order was lost before I could collect it in store, I demanded a refund. I was told it would take 7-10 days. Refund never arrived. I was offered to reorder but the items were now out of stock. After several emails to Customer Service I called them only to be told my refund had not even been processed and a colleague had ordered one half of my order as it was back in stock. What use is one part of a bikini without the other. It seems that I was lied to and left waiting for a refund. Now I have to wait another 14 days before I get my refund. Not hopeful it will be paid!!

Hi, thank you for your feedback, this is really disappointing to hear so we’d really like the opportunity to discuss this further with you. Please drop us an email on we_are_listening@next.co.uk and we’ll be in touch shortly.
You lost my order and then I was told it was out of stock. Why could I not be refunded in store instead of having to wait a further 5-7 working days to receive my money. Shocking service. You even sent me emails afterwards telling me thanks for collecting my order. Another insult.

Hi Maurice Stafford, I’m truly sorry your order did not go as planned. We would really like to put things right for you. Please drop us an email on we_are_listening@next.co.uk and we’ll be in touch shortly.
After doing all I was asked as in sending pictures etc, my complaint was closed down by Black Circles. I then went direct to the garage to complain and was dealt with professionally and with haste. My Alloy wheels will now be repaired because I sorted the problem myself.

Hello Maurice,
Thank you for getting in touch, one of the team will contact you today to discuss this further.
Nikkita not only took ownership for resolving my issue, she regularly contacted me to say she was still chasing for a resolution, even if her support team were slow to get things sorted. I could not fault the high level of customer service provided by Nikkita.
