[RFDPants]

I tried the REDFLAG coupon code and it didn't work on their website (couldn't preview the total amount until my order was processed) - so called CS and they fixed it and will refund difference.

Then I remembered the 25% off code: ENTERTAINMENT (found on the forums here) and they said they would honour that too.

Sweet! :cheesygri

Shipping is free over $99 but just watch out for the handling fee - that surprised me

[Hugh Jass]

Not to pi$$ on a RFD link, but even with the discount of 25%, http://www.visiondirect.com is cheaper for 8 boxes of Acuvue 2s. You get 10% for your first order btw.

Yeah, I found vision direct cheaper as well even after you apply the other guy's discount.
Probably depends on the specific lenses you're buying.

And vision direct has a $10 off coupon code if your order is $100 or more.

Thanks for pointing that out! I was just about to place an order on CC

[craigbrown]

I tried the REDFLAG code a couple weeks ago, and it didn't work. I e-mailed them, and CoastalContacts didn't bother to get back to me. I ended up ordering anyway, with a $5 off coupon code. Received my contacts in a week. Very happy with the price and turn-around time.

[Eduardo]

Vision direct charges $9.99 for international shipping. Even if your total falls into the "free shipping" price range.

I should have read the other posts more clearly. Clearly contacts does not preview your discount codes when you click order they invoice you.

In the end vision direct would have been $10 cheaper than CC (using the 25% discount) for me -4 boxes acuvue oasys. Although the lenses are now coming via fedex for free.

[asia_le]

what's the coupon code for vision direct? and do they charge a lot for shipping to CAnada?

[kuqdew]

nice thanks

[krs2]

I placed an order on Sept 29th. Shipped Oct 2nd. I have phoned twice, they keep saying I have to wait 30 days to see if it arrives. The first lady kept saying that they have to come all the way from Washington, and that can take awhile????. Second lady said must be held up at customs and nothing they could do, and made it sound like this is not unusual. They do not have tracking numbers so they can not tell were it is. As of today nothing yet. I ordered a set of D&G glasses and lenses from the UK on the same day and received them on Oct 16th.
I would never deal with VisionDirect again, but this is just my experience.

[Hugh Jass]

10% off: NEWVISION ( tried it now and it works)

$9.99 Shipping.

[Hugh Jass]

I would never deal with VisionDirect again, but this is just my experience.

That sucks. I recently ordered and they took about 10 days. It's my 3rd order and never had a problem. That's the problem with cross-border deals, it's a crap shoot as to what gets delayed.

[Derek]

The REDFLAG coupon is actually only for the ClearlyContacts.ca site. Clearly/Coastal used to be cheaper with the discount, guess that's changed. Thanks for the VisionDirect coupon, any idea when it ends?

[a_y3n]

I don't know why everyone says REDFLAG doesn't work for coastalcontacts.com but it does. They were going to refund me 10% on my credit card because it is not done at the time of order, but thanks to the above poster - I called back an got 25% off instead! Thanks!! I will update my post.

[a_y3n]

You are comparing Acuvue 2 with Acuvue Oasys.. Some of us has dry eyes and can't wear Acuvue 2.

[danku]

Hi guys.

Thnx OP. I just ordered some contacts from them. But I didn't see any difference when I entered "ENTERTAINMENT". Was I supposed to be able to see the difference after I've purchased it? Even the email confirmation with the price didn't apply the 25% off. Also, this is the first time I buy contacts online, so is prescription verification necessary? When I made the purchase, it states that I have to verify my prescription by sending them fax or email, but when I read the "help" on the website, it seems to only apply to americans? Can anyone confirm?
Thnx.

Call them and ask them to apply the coupon for you. Their number is 1-866-333-6888 (open 24hrs) and dial 5. You will get a credit of 25% off on your credit card.
They don't verify prescription.

[fifa204]

I ordered yesterday and the 25% off worked just fine. Thought I would recieve a shipped email today but didn't. Do they usually get stuff out pretty quick?

[a_y3n]

Yup, you'll most likely get it by Friday. It takes 2-5 business days.

[wwidgirl]

I really appreciate this information. I will compare this price to Costco and if this is a better deal I'll definitely buy from them. I can't wait to get my prescription next thursday.

[danku]

Me too. Thnx a_y3n for this info. I might continue order from this site.
Btw, Is there a difference when ordering from the american site www.coastalcontacts.com and the canadian site www.clearlycontacts.ca?
I'm presuming the american one is cheaper now that our dollars are on par (or higher) with american one?
Thnx again!

[Strider]

Just placed an order though coastalcontacts with coupon code ENTERTAINMENT, and was still invoiced full price... called CS, and gave them the code and was declined. They told me that the coupon is for clearlycontacts and not coastal.

[nounou23]

Made an order of 4 box of Focus Dailies 90 Pack

Came to 150$ and the coupon didn't work

I called the 1800 # and she took the coupon and will give me 25% off.

:)

thanks OP

[numb555]

crap, i threw away my box of contact and forgot my base curve!

[Hi-Psi]

I just ordered through Vision direct since they were a little cheaper.

4 Boxes of PureVision with a case for $130

I tried to use the 10% off code but they gave me 15% off already since I'm a new customer!

Pretty good deal considering my local eyeglass place wanted $260 for everything.

[jackboot]

I ordered through 1800contacts.com:

Acuvue Oasys

$29.99 : Original Price at 1800contacts
$19.75 : Price match price to contactlenschoice.com

$19.36 : 1800contacts beats competitor's pricing by 2%
x 8 boxes
---------
$154.84
- $12 : 1800contacts coupon code: CA49 ($12 off a $75 order)
---------
---------
$142.84 USD
$140.96 CDN charged to my CTFS mastercard after exchange :)

This works out to $17.86 USD per box. Nice!
1800contacts also has an in-house $40 off a year's supply of Acuvue Oasys rebate - this is US residents only, but if you have an American mailing address you might be able to pull it off :twisted:

If you really want to go for the gusto, phone coastalcontacts.com...
They offer 110% price match
They also offer the 25% ENTERTAINMENT coupon right now
Total order after PM and 25% coupon would be $114.82 for 8 boxes of Oasys!
I tried but the phone rep declined saying that they can either price match OR use the coupon code. Their PM policy doesn't say anything about this so they SHOULD both PM and accept a coupon code but YMMV depending on who you talk to.

I like the deal I placed through 1800contacts because they are probably the largest online contact lens company and it was an easy no-hassle deal.

[myrelle]

Hi,
Refer to posting above/before.

I ordered some Acuvue Oasys price matched 1800contacts.com (29.99) to Lens.com (18.49 *after $30 mail in rebate). Without the $30 mail in rebate the price is $21.99.

Acuvue Oasys

$29.99 (Price at 1800contacts)
$21.99 (Price matched to Lens.com)

$21.99/box
x 8 box
Total: $175.92
-3.51 (price matched by 1800contacts -2%)
-30 (mail in rebate)
- $12 (1800contacts coupon code: CA49 from the previous post)
---------
$130.40 USD

P.S. The $30 mail in rebate is applicable to Canadian residents. Well that is what I was told by the 1800contacts customer service.

Thanks to all the previous posts and mostly to Jackboot : )

[a_y3n]

Those are awesome deals you too posted up there! Please tell us when you recieve them and your overall experience. Thanks!
I'll look forward to buying from them next year when I get my new prescription.

[belgiangenius]

Damn...all those prices are less than the Bay and Costco.

Screw the Canadian price gouging, I'm ordering online.

[lucy_2222]

I'll be ordering soon, only 4 lens left. I'd be interested in everyone's experience once they receive them.

I'm going to try the 110% price guarantee.

And has no one had to provide their prescription with costal contacts?

Can anyone confirm the shipping? Is it included or is there an additional charge to ship to Canada?

[myrelle]

shipping fee is free to Canada from 1800contacts but it is standard shipping which should take about 1-2 weeks.

I didnt have to provide my prescription but they asked for my Dr. name and phone number to confirm I guess

[jackboot]

Which rebate did they say was included?
There are 2 rebates available right now that I'm aware of: one directly from the manufacturer and one from 1800contacts. The one from the manufacturer requires that you have had an eye exam in the past 90 days and is available only to US residents. The one from 1800contacts has no such requirement but it is only available to US residents also.
Is there another rebate that I'm not aware of that is available to Canadian residents?

The rebate on lens.com is the one directly from the manufacturer and is only available to US residents.

Not really, coupon code is applied before the price-match.

[fuc847]

i am quite sure that the $30 USD rebate does NOT work.. i bought oassys a month ago from coastalcontacts and they dont work

[wolfie73]

I just ordered my contacts from Clearlycontacts and the discount of 25% off was applied immidiately after I clicked on Buy now. I saved 25 dollars plus shipping was free.

[myrelle]

the $30 mail in rebate that I got is from 1800contacts and not the one from the Manufacturer. I called them up and they said the same thing that the mail in rebate is applicable to me (Cdn resident). I told him many times that Im from Canada so is the mail in rebate still applicable and he clearly stated that yes it is. The CSR told me that as soon as I get it send it to them and there should be no problem at all but if there is then they will refund me $30.

[jackboot]

Terms and Conditions: Offer expires 12/31/2007. Offer valid for U.S. residents only. Valid prescription required. The complete 8 box supply of Acuvue Oasys contact lenses must be purchased in one transaction to be eligible for the offer. Offer available only on select brands and subject to change without notice. Limit one Acuvue Oasys rebate per customer, per purchase, per twelve-month period. Please allow 6-8 weeks for delivery of your rebate check.

[myrelle]

the one that is offered to me is the $30 mail in rebate and not the $40 one. Ill try and get a link or more info for the rebate if i can. Has anyone else done the same thing to confirm?

[nounou23]

Go my contacts yesterday. I ordered them on friday oct 26. That was fast! :)

[danku]

I received mine yesterday or maybe even the day before and I ordered it on October 25th. Thnx OP again. What is the difference between ClearlyContacts and CoastalContacts other than Clearly is Canadian? I ordered from Coastal, yet the receipt is from Clearly and I believe the products is shipped from Vancouver, BC. Should I be ordering from Clearly next time then?

[Babypimpin]

:mad: :mad: I'm actually quite pissed about this company...Clearly Contacts or wutever..

I went on their website last week just to check out their prices....I entered some personal info and clicked buy now just to see what the final price would end up being....i then closed the windows pane...

To my surprise...a package arrived at my door yesterday with a bunch of contacts in them and I was really confused as I didnt even enter any CC info to make the purchase...why on earth would I have been sent contacts?

I called in and apparantly they have this "buy now pay later" thing...
yeah thats a cool idea...but i think a customer should have a choice as to how they want to pay...I think the way they have set up this website where there isnt even a "CONFIRM" purchase button after you click buy now....or an option to choose "pay now" or "pay later" type of thing is VERY deceiving on their end...poor business practice in my opinion...

I'm sure im not the only person that has made this mistake in the past...

So to their defence, they are ok with my returning it and not having to pay for the product...however they are forcing me to SHIP it back to them even though i live literally 15 minutes away from the location I need to ship it...I can not drop it off...that's ***** ....

I'm forced to pay shipping for a return on a product that I never intended to buy in the first place...

I'm actually quite pissed off about this... :mad: :mad:

No offense, but it seems like you goofed not the company. At least they are taking it back. They paid to ship your mistake, so isn't it fair you pay the shipping back?

[Babypimpin]

Do you shop online much?
out of the thousand+ purchases I've ever made online...this is the first time i've had an issue with a company that has such a process for purchasing...1 click and you're done? No confirmation for purchase?

whats to stop me from entering some random person's information and sending them a crap load of contacts? THey never ordered them...yet they would be responsible for paying return shipping on something they never ordered?

So its my mistake for trying to get more information on price and what not after shipping etc...so maybe I should just buy it without knowing all the critical info I need before deciding on buying right...please...definitely not my goof...

Hey, if it was an unsolicited product arrival - you're free to keep it.

Tell them they're welcome to pick it up at your door if they want it back, otherwise, after 60 days, you'll gladly keep them for free.

Enough said. What part of those words do you not understand?
It looks like you have not purchased "thousands" of items in the past.
And by the way, in BIG BOLD LETTERS it reads "buy now pay later" on that same page! And what do you mean you wanted to see prices??? It even says it is the FINAL PRICE which includes handling, insurance, and taxes. Furthermore, why did you enter all of your shipping information?

And if you are considering purchasing from their company, why not read the policies too? Prices aren't the only criteria from deciding which retailer to purchase from. And just because this company does not do buy now/pay now like most businesses, does not make them a poor company for you to get upset it. Just relax a little.

This is complete ignorance on your part, so stop blaming others for your own negligence.

I looked over this...and I admit...I realize there definately is some ignorance on my part...I admit that...
And yes, I've probably made over a thousand purchases online and have never seen such a process for purchasing...

With that said though...controlyar, what if I randomly put your name and address (hypothetically speaking...lets say I had that info) into that form and clicked buy it now....you would then be responsible for paying return shipping on the product...how fair would that be to you?

[controlyar]

That would not be fun at all; although, a good April's Fools joke. :lol:
The probability of that ever happening would be close to nil as one's judgment would have to be flawed to commit such acts. Or if it does happen, you can likely call them up and I can imagine the shipping can be reimbursed if your plead ignorance. I am not recommending you do this, as this was not the case in your situation.

Just a hiccup in your day I guess. Continue on and keep smiling. Crap happens. :)

[dux]

What the difference between Coastal and Clearly??

ClearlyContacts is selling O2Optix for 31.99 and CoastalContacts for 15.90??

I don't get it but 15.90 seems to be a price error... since costco is selling for 31.39 per box of 6

It seems that Cearly has the prices in canadian, and Coastal in US$.. I wonder if I can pay in US since it seems to be %50 cheaper...

You just tell them you wish to order from Coastalcontacts.
Its the same #.
The Canadian prices are a joke.

[jackboot]

the one that is offered to me is the $30 mail in rebate and not the $40 one. Ill try and get a link or more info for the rebate if i can. Has anyone else done the same thing to confirm?

I hope you are right about the $30 MIR because that means that I should qualify also :-0

Unfortunately though I believe they simply decreased the $40 MIR to $30 since they did the price match. I've read about them doing that exact thing to Americans that have price matched. With that said - if they give you the MIR form then I would try submitting it to a USA address if you can (since I'm quite sure the MIR form will list it is good for US residents only). In any case, report back once you receive the shipment and let us all know the full details.

[shauburg]

Here are some details on my experience with coastalcontacts.com.

My brand (Focus Night & Day) was ~$65 CDN on clearlycontacts.com and ~$45 US on coastalcontacts.com. So naturally with the $ the way it is, I ordered from coastalcontacts.com. The product still shipped from Vancouver and the invoice said clearlycontacts, but I was charged the cheaper US price. Strange, but I'm not complaining!

Used ENTERTAINMENT 25% coupon code. It did not work on-line, so I had to phone customer service after my order was placed. The phone CSR could not get it to work either, so she had to forward it to her adjustments department. A 25% credit appeared on my credit card dated 3 days after the original charge.

I did not need to fax in my perscription. (I heard that this is only the law in the US)

I ordered Oct. 22 and received Oct 23!!!

Shipping is free, but they do charge Canadians a 7.75% "handling charge", so be sure to take this into consideration.

Even with the handling charge, it was still a hot deal for me. I ended up paying $38/box, whereas my eye doctor charges ~$80/box and even Costco is $65/box ($56/box on sale).

Beatiful. These are the ones I need...dirt cheap for $38/box. I tried to order and it didn't give me the 25%, instead it gave me a 10% discount. So I didn't order. Maybe now, I'll try again.

Edit: I just called up my optometrist/store....I originally got my one-year supply from them. I can't believe what I paid. $100/box!! One year supply (i.e. 4 boxes) is $375 minus a $50 rebate...$325....DAMN!

I guess what's stopping you from not paying for it. The only thing they have is your shipping address and your name. They don't have your CC or anything else that they can put against your credit history. Also wouldn't this be considered unsolicited mail.

They can and WILL put it against your credit. Stop fabricating information and trying to pass it off as the truth. And how in the world is it unsolicited mail when he agreed to their terms and service by clicking the purchase button? :lol:

Used code at time of purchase, worked like a charm, thanks OP!

entertainment didn't work for me. I called and they said it's only available when you order through clearlycontacts.

Visa2007CA didn't work either. They said it was for the Canadian site. :/

REDFLAG finally worked. 10% off.

[RFDPants]

Here are some details on my experience with coastalcontacts.com.

My brand (Focus Night & Day) was ~$65 CDN on clearlycontacts.com and ~$45 US on coastalcontacts.com. So naturally with the $ the way it is, I ordered from coastalcontacts.com. The product still shipped from Vancouver and the invoice said clearlycontacts, but I was charged the cheaper US price. Strange, but I'm not complaining!

Used ENTERTAINMENT 25% coupon code. It did not work on-line, so I had to phone customer service after my order was placed. The phone CSR could not get it to work either, so she had to forward it to her adjustments department. A 25% credit appeared on my credit card dated 3 days after the original charge.

I did not need to fax in my perscription. (I heard that this is only the law in the US)

I ordered Oct. 22 and received Oct 23!!!

Shipping is free, but they do charge Canadians a 7.75% "handling charge", so be sure to take this into consideration.

Even with the handling charge, it was still a hot deal for me. I ended up paying $38/box, whereas my eye doctor charges ~$80/box and even Costco is $65/box ($56/box on sale).

UPDATE:
Got my order last week from Coastalcontacts.com (AKA Clearlycontacts.ca) via expresspost - 4 boxes of Acuvue2 (today's prices = US$16.40/box) to last me until my next checkup and 2 boxes of Coopervision Frequency 55 Toric (today's prices = US$55/box) (for my GF). Don't know the exact unit prices of my original order were.

Was originally charged CDN$175.21 + Free shipping.

CDN$175.21 minus 25% = CDN$131.41 (somehow only got charged CDN$128.21 - probably some sort ot exchange difference somewhere but I'm not complaining)

The update to my CC charge did not get corrected until today.

Very pleased! The only thing is that little processing fee...

[setell]

I just ordered and called coastalcontacts and they said the code was just for clearlycontacts and won't give me the 25% off. How did you guys get coastalcontacts to give you the 25% off?

[jackboot]

The people that obtained the 25% discount from coastal were the fortunate recipients of a mistake. The ENTERTAINMENT code is for the Canadian website only - the code is from the "Entertainment book" which is a Canadian publication and specifically lists the discount being valid at clearlycontacts.ca only.

Unless you can get a misinformed rep at coastal you will be stuck trying to use the 25% discount at clearly which has hugely inflated pricing.

[dangerousfob]

I looked over this...and I admit...I realize there definately is some ignorance on my part...I admit that...
And yes, I've probably made over a thousand purchases online and have never seen such a process for purchasing...

With that said though...controlyar, what if I randomly put your name and address (hypothetically speaking...lets say I had that info) into that form and clicked buy it now....you would then be responsible for paying return shipping on the product...how fair would that be to you?


I hate to admit it but I did the same thing a while ago. I threw in some random prescription and checked to see what the final price would be with the coupon. I must have missed the "pay later" stuff. Then it said I confirmed the order even though I didnt put in my credit info.

A few days later I received something in the mail :D.

I contacted them and they said to send it back if I dont want it.
soo on the package i wrote "return to sender" and threw it in the mail box.
I am pretty sure they got it because they never asked me for payment or anything.

Honestly I think its a very risky move for a company to send items without credit card info.

Also imo, I feel that there should be an extra finalized confirmation button like most online retailers. (not sure if they changed it since my last order)

[a_y3n]

This happened me before on my first order, I just called them as soon as that happened and told them to cancel it. Easy as that.

[DC5R]

For the people who obtained the REDFLAG 10% off deal, did you have to speak specifically to a sales rep at Coastal to get the discount? I tried entering it on their website and it didn't give me the discount.

[setell]

Not sure but I called in to coastalcontacts and they gave me the 10% off. The rep I got told me that REDFLAG expires at the end of the year and should have went through the normal checking out procedures.

[biznatch]

Not sure but I called in to coastalcontacts and they gave me the 10% off. The rep I got told me that REDFLAG expires at the end of the year and should have went through the normal checking out procedures.

same here, ordered from coastalcontacts.com (way cheaper than the Canadian site - even if they gave you 25% off) but couldn't get either of the codes to work. Ordered anyways, then called customer service right away and got 10% taken off the order with no problem at all. Paid $103 total for a 90 day supply of Focus Daily (one side is Toric) so saved about $50 from my doctor's office.

I'm not sure why they charge a 'handling fee' to Canadian customers but its still the cheapest option that I found, by far.

[Hybrid88]

What is it with Coastalcontacts not having any of the coupons codes working.. geez.

Btw, why use the 10% code when there is a 15% off code of RFD Coupon section?

Use online promo code VISA2007CA and pay with your Visa card to save 15% on all regular-priced merchandise (excluding taxes) purchased online.

[jehova]

When i get to shipping for Coastal contacts...

um... i can't find British Columbia under the provinces...

they have northwest territories.. but no B.C

wow

[ariell]

Me too. Thnx a_y3n for this info. I might continue order from this site.
Btw, Is there a difference when ordering from the american site www.coastalcontacts.com and the canadian site www.clearlycontacts.ca?
I'm presuming the american one is cheaper now that our dollars are on par (or higher) with american one?
Thnx again!

I think it probably depends on your brand. Glad I saw this posting though!
I normally order from clearly contacts where my lenses (ProClear Compatibles) are $46.19 for a box of 6. I need 2 boxes since my prescriptions are different for each eye so that comes to $99.53 with their 'handling' charge. (When did they start doing that????:( )

But at Costal Contacts, these same lenses are $25.90 a box for a total of $51.80 or almost HALF what I'd pay with Clearly contacts! I agree clearly contacts does have good customer service, but I'm sure not willing to pay double for it!!;)

[a_y3n]

Hey..
clearlycontacts.com = coastalcontacts.com
customer services at clearycontacts.com = customer service at coastalcontacts.com
the only difference is that one is american and the other canadian and one is more expensive than the other

[ariell]

Well I just placed my order with coastal contacts. I used the ENTERTAINMENT code but it didn't apply the discount to my order. I called customer service and they said they cannot apply the discount since it is a discount only for the CANADIAN site. >:( When I said that I knew of other people that had used this code and got the discount she said that they were accepting in the past but they just got a memo about it saying they should not accept it -- they will only accept it if you order thru clearly. Well, anyway, even without the discount and a $10 shipping/handling charge , it still worked out to be way cheaper than clearly. $62.76 vs. $99.53 with clearly.

[Bent]

Hey..
clearlycontacts.com = coastalcontacts.com
customer services at clearycontacts.com = customer service at coastalcontacts.com

Use online promo code VISA2007CA and pay with your Visa card to save 15% on all regular-priced merchandise (excluding taxes) purchased online.

Isn't this for clearlycontacts? I just checked the visaperks page.

[ariell]

According to the link here under coupons, it's definitely for 15% off at COASTAL contacts: http://www.redflagdeals.com/deals/main.php/coupons/comments/coastal

And I can confirm that I used it with Coastal Contacts tonight after placing my order. I initially tried the ENTERTAINMENT code which didn't work. This only works with CLEARLY Contacts. So I called customer service and asked if I could use the VISA2007CA with my just submitted order and they let me. Without me saying anything about how much of a discount it gave, the rep entered the code and said "ok so that gives you 15% off'.

I guess it depends if they will actually adjust it that way since it takes a few days. It seems they're more careful now with the clearly coupons being used on the coastal site.

Hey thanks. Coastal Contacts has a policy where if you find contacts cheaper elsewhere, they will match that price and give you an additional 10% off. So I'll be contacting them to adjust the price.

[lucy_2222]

So I entered my lenses in, my mailing address, and then clicked the "Buy Now" option.

It brought me to a screen telling me that I had to provide my credit card information, and my prescription.

I was hoping to have the pay later option as I don't have a credit card.

[ariell]

I'd contact customer service then. They're website specifically says you can buy now, pay later:

Buy Now, Pay Later - Exclusively at Coastal Contacts!
Coastal Contacts is the only online contact lens company that offers you Buy Now, Pay Later. You deserve the best, and that's why at Coastal Contacts you can order your contact lenses now and pay for them later! Simply place your order online or over the phone, and we'll deliver it along with an invoice. You can pay online with E-Pay, or by phone or mail using your credit card or a check.

[sully]

Interesting! I too paid ~$100 for a 3 month supply of contacts, the Acuvue Oasys. This should save me tons.

[lucy_2222]

Here is the reply I received from costal contacts:

"I imagine that you are attempting to place your order on our US website, www.coastalcontacts.com. If this is the case, all Canadians purchasing from this website do have to pay up front because it is considered an international purchase. If, however, you place the order on the Canadian website, www.clearlycontacts.ca, then you do have the option of paying later and being invoiced."

I'm not going to pay almost twice the price to have the option of paying later.

[biznatch]

I got my order today (ordered on Monday) so its quick enough. Also, free pair of 'designer inspired' sunglasses inside! Nice one.

[tvrus]

I got my order today (ordered on Monday) so its quick enough. Also, free pair of 'designer inspired' sunglasses inside! Nice one.

is that offer of a free designer sunglass for orders over $149 still valid?

[quanta]

Just ordered some O2 Optix (better price than VisionDirect - the $60 rebate is useless w/o 90 day old prescription or for Canadians)...

The site's coupon function is broken again. I had to call their 800 #. Service was fast and awesome though.

CSR told me VISA2007CA is for Clearly only, not Coastal. I used REDFLAG instead.

[jackboot]

the postman just came with my order and wanted $38 in tax :mad:

If I'm not mistaken, prescription eyewear (including contacts) have not GST or PST. Can someone confirm?

Not only that, but the $38 in tax was on the pre-coupon price of $260, not the after-coupon price (what I actually paid) of $143 :rolleyes:

I refused shipment.

[myrelle]

Jackboot you ordered from 1800contacts right? That doesnt sound so good.

[jackboot]

Jackboot you ordered from 1800contacts right? That doesnt sound so good.

Yes, I ordered from 1800contacts.

I've previously ordered from American companies for contact lenses and every time it was delivered with a label reading "prescription medical device - corrective contact lenses - no tax / duty"

I'm sure the postmaster will correct the problem. Whoever assessed the taxes wasn't paying attention.

[Twikqune]

I need to order some new contacts.

Any recommendations on the different models?

I've been using these plain contacts by Coopervision provided by me optometrist up until now.

[SSP]

For reordering different contacts then what I got from the optometrist, does it matter if BC is off by +-.1? Same with DIA, but thats off by a bit more (current contacts are 14.2, some of the new ones in the website are 13.8).

TIA

[PhoeniX Skye]

I currently wear a 14.5 in one eye, and a 14.2 in the other, and I've been doing it for awhile... got them from my optometrist too, so I'm sure it's fine.

[myrelle]

ok I got my lenses from 1800contacts. 8 boxes of Acuvue Oasys for $160.40-$30 mail in rebate (as long as your prescription was written within 90 days) so total is $130.40

P.S. i was not charged custom fees. The package was left in front of the door.

Thanks!

[PhoeniX Skye]

Used 25% code at ClearlyContacts.ca, which was more than my 10% healthcare bonus, thanks!

Total for the whole year (2 boxes of Colorblends and 2 boxes of O2Optics) For $100! And that's before coverage... normally I would pay $250+.

I love online things... now onto buying glasses!

[jehova]

I picked up 2 boxes of B&L SoftLens Torics for $45 tax & shipping incl. Cheapeast price for toric lens I've found so far. I actually called Clearlycontacts and they said they will price match Coastal (guess because of strong CDN dollar). The Canadian price was unbelieavbly $100!!!

saved $55

I also told the phone rep about coupon code CCAFF05 to get $5 off $50 (even though my subtotal came up to $48 she let me use it).

Just FYI, because of the pricematch, it took a lil longer for me to pay. Apparently accounting or sales department has to overide the price. I paid the contacts about 10 days after I got lens in the mail.

[ludhi]

is that coupon code : ENTERTAINMENT still workin on coastal contacts??
my price doesnt seem to change. $92 with shipping for o2 optix.

Is that what u guys get with the code ENTERTAINMENT?? Can some confirm that pls.

[Audiogenic]

+1....just got mine today....outstanding deal and service.

[ludhi]

jus to let u guys know the entertainment code which is the 25% off only works on the canadian site of coastal contacts which is clearlycontacts.ca

talked to the customer rep regarding the huge price diff between the 2 of their sites.. she tells me they cant do much about it .. even though the canadian dollar is higher than the american. for my o2 optixx witht he shipping charge i am gettin it at $92.68 us dollars and w/o any coupon codes.. THe canadian site clearlycontacts.ca is showin same l sense and the ammount at a whopping $127 even wtih the 25% discount im gettin 99 canadian.. which is lame lol

[PhoeniX Skye]

At least you're getting them for $99. Without these sites you could pay more than $250.

[belgiangenius]

Has anyone had troubles billing your foreign purchased eye wear to your insurance? I have some coverage I'd still like to use up.

[ludhi]

k, i compared teh price against thecontactlensesstore.com with the coastalcontacts.com american site... + the $5 discount on 4 boxes of o2 optixx got the deal to $81 usd :lol:

Worked out great, considering my exp i would say best bet would be to avoid the clearlycontacts.ca site 25% discount cause even with the discount ur still higher in prices compared to the coastalcontacts.com american site w/o the $5 discountt.

i remmber paying $140 for these lenses when i got them from my optometrist.. he persuaded me really good in saying i was his patient for 6+ yrs so this was the best deal he would give me lol.. I jus feel like dissing the guy on my next appointment this week when i get the prescription lol.. So much for the loyal patient thing.

[PhoeniX Skye]

Has anyone had troubles billing your foreign purchased eye wear to your insurance? I have some coverage I'd still like to use up.

ClearlyContacts.ca is Canadian. They should be fine. I'm claiming mine from them.

[biznatch]

So yesterday I finally got around to opening up a box of contacts that I received and noticed I ordered the wrong prescription for one eye. I accidentally put a + instead of a -. I called coastalcontacts and arranged for a new order at the same discounted price as the original order and was very surprised to see them on my doorstep this afternoon! With another pair of sunglasses too :)

They will allow the return of the unopened boxes, so I'm really only out shipping and the cost of one box - again, entirely my fault.

[ludhi]

wow , so it looks like it takes virtually no time to ship them..

thats great.

[Ron]

I placed an order this morning with Coastal Contacts with the 'entertainment' coupon but it did not work. I just called them and had it applied over the phone for 25% off. Easy as pie.

Thanks OP.

[ludhi]

its better to order from coastalcontacts.com website using the $5 discount coupon prices there are lot cheaper.. even when 25% discount is applied...

[a_y3n]

its better to order from coastalcontacts.com website using the $5 discount coupon prices there are lot cheaper.. even when 25% discount is applied...

I don't understand you.

i.e. 25% off $100 = $ 75
$ 5 off $100 = $ 95

Are you saying we can use both?
i.e 25% of 100 = $75 - $5 = $70?

[PhoeniX Skye]

I think he's saying compared to the other site

[ludhi]

my order 4 boxess of o2 optix.. came out to be $92.68 - $5 (discount coupon) = $87.68 with shippingg on coastalcontacts.com

and the same order from clearlycontacts.ca with 25% discount to $95.97 and free shipping....

do the math not hard to figure it out.

[Ron]

its better to order from coastalcontacts.com website using the $5 discount coupon prices there are lot cheaper.. even when 25% discount is applied...

I wasn't clear in my post. I placed the order with Coastal.

Also, even when the 25% discount doesn't work, there is still the 15% Visa discount and 10% REDFLAG discount which are better than $5.

[ludhi]

either way its 25% off.. u guys can compare the pricess urself.. on the o2 optix. i guess the pricess are diff for specific brand names.. I did the comparison even talked to the reps at clearly contacts.ca to confirm my final $$ which was higher than coastalcontacts.com

[bembem]

I think ludhi is trying to say, DO NOT BE LAZY and DO THE MATH for the contacts that you are buying.

For me, I like to order only 2 boxes at a time as I do not wear contacts often.

In MY CASE, clearly was cheaper. But I think COASTAL will be cheaper in the majority of cases.

I'm going w/CLEARLY on this order. I went with COASTAL on the last.

[DarkAbyss]

I ordered 2 boxes of Acuvue Adavance for $40.38 from Coastal Contacts, couldn't use the entertainment coupon so i used this "SHP4FREE" and saved $7from shipping. Pretty good deal, it would've cost me around $70 for 2 boxes from Clearly Contacts.

It was fast too, got it in 2 days of ordering. Funny this is that they probably used Clearly Contacts to ship it since the box that I got said Clearly Contacts. So in the end, I saved $30 just by ordering from the U.S. site.

[busakap]

i normally order contacts from coastalcontacts.com, but now at the checkout it says

Please Note: If you are purchasing lenses, WE WILL REQUIRE A FAX/EMAIL COPY OF YOUR PRESCRIPTION PRIOR TO SHIPPING YOUR ORDER.

Please fax or email this to the verification team as soon as possible at either 1-866-333-6810 or verification@coastalcontacts.com so that we can verify and ship your order.


are you guys having to fax stuff in? is this new?

[Ron]

It has always asked for me the PRESCRIPTION, I never sent one, and always got the lenses.

[paskiaq]

I just called the customer service line for coastalcontacts.com to try to get them to apply the 25% off code. She said it could only be used on their Canadian site clearlycontacts.ca. However, when I complained that the Canadian site prices were completely inflated, she said she could price match it to the US pricing on coastalcontacts.com and give me the 25% discount because the order was being placed on clearlycontacts.com. :cheesygri

www.clearlycontacts.ca

Coupon: ENTERTAINMENT

[purple_rabbit]

can it be used with coastalcontacts? I'm asking cause they are the same company but in US prices (but they ship from Vancouver).

[Intro]

This was posted before but under www.coastalcontacts.com here (http://www.redflagdeals.com/forums/showthread.php?t=503465&highlight=coastal). They are the same company but coastal caters to american customers also and has lower prices :evil: . They used to honor this ENTERTAINMENT code but not anymore, if you read the thread.

Coastal has other codes "shp4free" (free shipping) and "CCAFF05" (5$ off $50).
Clearly has "REDFLAG" (10% off), "ENTERTAINMENT" (25% off).

Some people have called clearly and got a PM with the US prices on coastal but I guess YMMV. see this post. (http://www.redflagdeals.com/forums/showpost.php?p=6077879&postcount=117)

[paskiaq]

When I got my confirmation, it showed the 25% off but not the price match. So I called back. I talked to a different customer service rep. She also said it was not a problem (to price match on top of the 25% off) but that it would just take a couple of days to do the price match because they had to override the Cdn price.

So far, it seems their customer service is really good! Other people in this thread have gotten appropriate adjustments made within a few days of the purchase. I will post an update once I get confirmation of the adjustment.

It seems that the customer service reps give some resistent at first but will give you this deal if you persist.

[lucy_2222]

So will the coupon work at checkout or will I have to call them?

[lucy_2222]

So should we be placing the order on clearly contacts or costal contacts?

I just don't want to place the order with costal contacts and then they refuse to honor the coupon. Will they allow me to cancel the order if they don't allow it?

will the contact lenses freeze in the mailbox during winter?

Just call clearyclontacts, get them to pricematch the U.S. price (coastalcontacts) and then use the 25% off coupon. Yes they will let you cancel the order within a certain time frame.

No they don't. I've ordered in the winter and they have been delivered to my "super mailbox" and sat in there for days before I picked them up. No issues with them at all.

[lucy_2222]

Well they matched Coastal, but wouldn't give me the 25% off on top of that.

I'm wondering if I should try to call back later?

[mojof1]

No they don't. I've ordered in the winter and they have been delivered to my "super mailbox" and sat in there for days before I picked them up. No issues with them at all.


how cold was it during that time?

[Baillout]

There is no tax or duty on contacts or glasses. That means that you can order from any north american company. The only issue that you could run into is brokerage fees. To avoid that make sure that the company uses USPS and you will be golden. There is no need to stick to canadian retailers only.

Yeah supposedly Coastal ships from Vancouver sometimes..don't take my word for it though.

When I got my confirmation, it showed the 25% off but not the price match. So I called back. I talked to a different customer service rep. She also said it was not a problem (to price match on top of the 25% off) but that it would just take a couple of days to do the price match because they had to override the Cdn price.

So far, it seems their customer service is really good! Other people in this thread have gotten appropriate adjustments made within a few days of the purchase. I will post an update once I get confirmation of the adjustment.

It seems that the customer service reps give some resistent at first but will give you this deal if you persist.

I tried to get the 25% off on the US price was told no to the Entertainment code after price matching, persisted and they gave me the Visa 17.5% only code.

[rvs007]

Ya, same thing for me... was able to pricematch the US prices but was told I cannot use the "ENTERTAINMENT" discount code.

[lucy_2222]

I guess I won't complain. 8 boxes for $200 is a great price. Normally I'm paying $40 per box so I saved $120.

[ludhi]

This was posted before but under www.coastalcontacts.com here (http://www.redflagdeals.com/forums/showthread.php?t=503465&highlight=coastal). They are the same company but coastal caters to american customers also and has lower prices :evil: . They used to honor this ENTERTAINMENT code but not anymore, if you read the thread.

Coastal has other codes "shp4free" (free shipping) and "CCAFF05" (5$ off $50).
Clearly has "REDFLAG" (10% off), "ENTERTAINMENT" (25% off).

Some people have called clearly and got a PM with the US prices on coastal but I guess YMMV. see this post. (http://www.redflagdeals.com/forums/showpost.php?p=6077879&postcount=117)

ok im sure u guys received orderss from clearly contactss there are more codes in there.. ill post some adding on to already the ones that u guys know about..

Coastal has other codes "shp4free" (free shipping) and "CCAFF05" (5$ off $50).
Clearly has "REDFLAG" (10% off), "ENTERTAINMENT" (25% off).

^^ old ones
now the ones i got were wtih clearlycontacts.ca brochure for template.. the staff will give u wrong pricess but u guys jus tell them that u llooked at the template and the codes are there..
-----------------------
spend $199 and get 4 pack soultion free = FREEBTL4CA
-----------------------
4 - PACK healthy eyes multi purpose solutions = $30.24
The code for 4 pack 50% off regular price = HEALTHCA25 (offer expires dec 31)
------------------------
spend $99 and get a free bottle of healthy eyes soltuions = FREEBTL1CA

i dont know if u can use 2 codes at the same time but it came down to $23.70 with shipping(9.95 fedex) included. made my order yesterday got it in the morning.


again u have to almost haggle wtih teh customer repss finally they talk to their supervisors to confirm it, not very smart customer reps there

[lucy_2222]

Once you pay your bill, do they send you another invoice with it showing paid? I'm afraid that my insurance company won't take this invoice.

Thanks.

Do you happen to know what the code for Visa only was?

Thanks.

Update: nm, I went through the thread and found it (Visa2007CA).

I'm getting 4 boxes of O2 Optix. I'll let you know how it goes.

I remember last year they had a $45 or so off your purchase; I got the same order for $74.23. This year's deal isn't as good but its still pretty nice.

Checked their prices and it's cheaper than Costco by about $15/box for my Toric Encores. However, i will be switching to Proclear and they don't stock it (yet) :(

My order was corrected successful. I had originally ordered over the phone with a rep and wanted to pricematch and then applied the 25% entertainment code. Somehow in the miscommunication, they only gave me a 25% off only. I called back 14 days later (today) and explained to them what happened. The new rep gave me the 110% guarantee and didn't mentioned the entertainment code but I did the math ahead of time and it all worked out.


Acuvue 2 contacts QTY: 12

Clearly price $19.99

Costal price: $13.74

My first invoice was 12@19.99 = 239.99
After Entainment code final invoice: $179.99

I called back today and pricematch. FINAL New invoice $116.12
I saved $123.87

[T-Man]

Wow! That's insane! Who did you pricematch to?? I would like this exact deal. Need the contacts for outdoor sports!

I pricematched Coastal contact. So I got the 110% guaranteed and the entertainment 25% off too.

Clearly: $19.99

Costal: $13.74


$19.99- $13.74= $6.25 + 10% price difference = $6.875 (110% guranteed)

$19.99- $6.875= $13.115 x 12 (QTY) = $157.38 x 0.25%(entertainment code)

= $39.345

$157.38 - $39.345

= $118.035

Ok, my math is a bit off the second time around but the rep on the phone told me $116.12

Its great to be frugal and save money, but then again, you have to pick your battles.

I used to wear monthly then switched to dailies. Dailies always feel fresh because you aren't wearing some battered and tattered 30 day old contact that has various scratches and/or protein buildup.

Don't cheap out on your eyes.

What for? You're in Canada, have both websites open to quickly compare price, call up Clearly, tell them the price on the Coastal site, they will go on it to confirm, and will give you the 110% price guarantee. Then they'll give you a total, and thats when you tell them the 25% entertainment code, they recalculate, and give you a new total. Just make sure your total comes in over $100 to get the free shipping.

Alot of people were successful in getting the pricematch 110% and 25% discount too

I ended up paying $9.67 per box of Acuvue 2

Do your math ahead of time just to make sure you know what to expect before you call after applying the discount

Did they ask you to fax in a perscription?


Is this the reason why so many people are afraid to call in and rather just do online orders?


And no, they nevered asked for prescription, once I got the order confirmation E-mail, it does say at the bottom "we will attempt to verify your prescription" something along those lines. I think its just to cover their *****


Just don't mention prescription and you should be fine.

Well I tried getting in on this deal and it definately didn't turn out to be as sweet as most of the hookups I have seen in this thread. I bought 8 boxes of the Acuvue Oasys lenses at the volme discount price of 32.49. I tried getting a pricematch to the .com site but the rep. on the phone stated that there's no point since I'm using the coupon. The rep. said that the pricematch would have to be done after the 25% off coupon. I kept mentioning to her to do the pricematch then apply coupon but she couldn't do it. I ended up paying 194.94 after all was said and done. I was really hoping for a better deal but hey this is still better than most local places here in Toronto.

Sorry to hear, but if you read the fineprint on the clearly site, it says on it:


Lowest Price Guaranteed
We guarantee the lowest price on your contact lenses. When you want fast, friendly service and great prices, we want you to think of Clearly Contacts. If you find a lower price on another website than what you paid on Clearly Contacts within 10 days after your purchase from our site, we will refund you 110% of the difference up to the price of the item on our site."

http://www.clearlycontacts.ca/view-all-products.ep

You should call back tomorrow, speak to another rep and tell them that you got your invoice and noticed that there was an error on it, and just say that the other rep forgot to pricematch. Thats basically what happened to me.

Now just for fun, I'm going to do the math:

Clearly contacts Acuvue Oasys 8 boxes volume discount: $32.49 = $259.92

Coastal contacts Acuvue Oasys 8 boxes volume discount: $24.99 = $199.92

$259.92-$199.92

= $60 x 10% difference = $0.60

$24.99- $0.60 = $24.39 x 8 boxes = $195.12

$195.12 x .25% = $ 48.78

$195.12- $48.78

= $146.34 !!!

Call back tomorrow, and get the other $48.78 back.

See, that's what I thought too. I also did the calculations before I called and ended up paying more than I expected. I would be very happy if I could get the total of $146.34. I'm definately going to try! Thanks very much for the additional info. and encouragement.

anybody know anything about the rebates for these contacts?

amazing service from these guys.
Ordered 2 boxes of focus dailies torics in a vision emergency w/ overnight shipping on Tuesday @2pm. Order was shipped at 4pm and arrived the next day Wednesday @10am

Unbelievable! Even though she said it would take a couple days for these contacts to be custom ordered lol.

[MacOneDime]

Thanks for the coupon code, applied it today, and worked fine.
I wasn't in the market for 8 boxes of monthlies though, and the canadian price for my lenses on coastal wasn't worth the price match.

[ninjafrompond]

Thanks guys for this.

I got my contacts in in a matter of days. My insurance covered the receipt as well, in case anyone has any worries about it.

[Acuratl]

anybody know if im able to do both pricematch + coupon code, im going to try both tommorow but i think they allow coupon only!

[Acuratl]

Okay so 4 boxes of acuvue advance for astigmatism, matched to coastal's price and 10% coastal coupon off, 142.00 shipped to my door, not bad i'll try to use the coupon too and get the check sent to my cousin ;)

[FerrisB]

My GF got her contacts for less than 1/2 of what she was paying. Thanks OP!

[Smoothie]

Would there be a problem if the contacts are left in the mailbox for the day? Any issues with them freezing? I assume just let them thaw out and they should be fine.

[Intro]

Ordered some late tuesday last week..they have not arrive yet even though I had the free overnight shipping. On top of that, the customer rep would give me the pricematch with the site but I was unable to also use the ENTERTAINMENT code along with it. :( Now I'm starting to wonder if I actually got the overnight shipping. Damn disappointed.

Vision Direct is factoring some silly rebates (requires an optometrist's examination) into the price. Notice the "as low as $17.99", key words being "as low as".

[jackboot]

Yippers...I've yet to receive the cheque, but they sent me the rebate form. If they don't fulfill the rebate I will ***** but I think they will fulfill it. There are no exclusions written on the rebate form which states it is US only.

[jan27299]

Here is the deal for me:

I called clearlycontacts to price match coastalcontacts which they are fine doing even beating them by 10% of the difference for the 8 boxes of acuvue advanced. But they refused to take the 25% off coupon.

so i went to visiondirect and found an online coupn of 2020VISION which is a $20 off $133.
Here is the funny part when i put everything in the card it showed with an automatic $8 US off for the bulk order for today.

I put the above coupon and it went to a webpage stating the coupon was not valid or something so i cleared my cookies and tried again this time it took in giving me a total of $28 off.

Here is the math for 8 boxes:

Clearly: $244.18
Coastal: $156.91

Clearly with pricematch of 10% the difference 156.91-8.72=$148.19
If you can use the 25% of which i tried to get 4 different times in the last 2 days but they all refused will be: 148.19x.75=$111.14


Since i could not use the 25% coupon i went to Visiondirect and got the below deal:

$151.92-8(bulk discount)-20(2020VISION code)+9.99 shipping+1.95(proc fee)=$135.86

with the canadian dollar being stronger it should go down to about $132.

So if you can't get the coupon on top for clearlycontacts then go to visiondirect and if you want to try you can go for the $30 off rebate and have them mail the cheque to a US address.

I am going to try myself and have the cheque sent to http://www.thelettercarrier.com/ in point roberts.

So my total is actually going to be $105.86US if i get the rebate.:cheesygri

What are the expiry dates on the contacts ordered from web sites. Only think I'd be worried about if I order 8 boxes is getting ones that have been sitting in a warehouse and expire a lot sooner than I expected.

[bynniechan]

I called Clearly Contacts to get a price match on Proclear Compatibles 8.6 (I used to use Acuvue 2 but I have dry eyes so I switched). The lady did a price match but did not let me use the coupon.

Still cheaper than what I would pay at my eye doctors' but if the lady had let me use the 25% off coupon it would have been so much better.

On my personal experience they are generaly a few years before expiry when i receive them.

I have not received the new batch from visiondirect yet but i am sure it will be either 2011 or 2012 for the expiry year.

[phillbert]

ordered w/o prescription. just used my current box of contact's info to tell csr. I got the pricematch and 25% discount on my order. I believe the trick is to call after you receive your bill and mention the discount code.

[Fllay]

Thanks guys.

I placed an order on clearly contacts, but didn't realize they'd beat coastal contact prices by 10% of the difference - so I gave them a call. The lady was very courteous and speedy. I didn't even ask for her to beat their prices by 10%. She told me instantly that she'd beat coastal contacts prices by 10% even though they're the same company.

I'm impressed. There's virtually no waiting time. I wasn't put on hold for a long time - like when I call a bank or a computer company.

I didn't push my luck. Their prices are already like 50% off Wal-Mart prices. I want them to be able to stay in business and in Canada-no dealing with the customs. Kudos. I highly recommended Clearly Contacts. The company is well managed. I always have a good experience with their customer service team. Maybe FS/BB/stOOpleS/Lenovo can learn from them.

I just had a really bad exp w/ Lenovo in the past few weeks. Last week, one of their reps said the laptop was already in Canada and ready to be shipped. This week, I was told it's still in China. I'm very frustrated and disappointed by Lenovo. I used to be an IBM fan. Sorry for the rants and going off topic. At the present, I won't recommend Lenovo to anyone. Refer to the following link about how unprofessional Lenovo is at the moment.

I was wondering are there any taxes that I will need to pay once I get the lenses delivered? I'm in Ontario. Seems like they are cheaper than Coastal/clearly contacts. I just hope there arent any "surprise" charges later on. Also has anyone tried shopping through this website that gives you back 7% of the price?

None, Since the lenses are considered medical equipment there are no duties or taxes. If they charge you just refuse the delivery.

Be prepared to wait up to 12 business days for them to arrive.

Yup, there shouldnt be any taxes on it. Canadapost screwed up and charged me taxes and their $5 fee. I refused it...It took about a month for coastal contacts to credit me.

Has anyone ordered from www.todayslens.ca or price matched with them before? They have pretty good deals.

I took one for the team by ordering from them. So far, no good. My order hadn't shipped in almost a week, so I sent an e-mail. They responded the next business day, which is good, but had this to say:


we realized that the order was misplaced in the warehouse and we did
not
sent out the order , we will send it out today.

sorry for the incovenience
Faigy for Todayslens

Ooooooooooook. No more business from me. Have yet to receive the lenses.

[mmhassa2]

I just places an order for 6 boxes of Freshlook colorblends from Vision Direct for $158.09, pretty good deal compared to Clearly/coastalcontacts. A question to those who placed an order from them, how do I give them my prescription? I mean I wasn't asked for it when placing the order neither was anything mentioned on the email I received. But I do see on the website they rquire to verfiy prescriptions. Do they not need a prescription for Canadian residents?

You don't need to send them your prescription if you are a Canadian resident.

Just wanted to thank you guys, I ordered my contacts for the first time on Clearlycontacts and expect them today. Cost me 42,54$ instead of 70$ (bought two boxes only)!

For those interested, the ENTERTAINMENT coupon is still working, I used it. However, I didn't ask for the price match, didn't want to push my luck.

Didn't bother with the 25% off thing. Feel like I'm getting an amazing deal already.

That IS pretty awesome!

I just order the new Acuvue Oasys with 8.8 base curve and Pure Vision -- 2 boxes of each for $110.

I found the Acuvue Oasys with 8.4 curve were too tight for my eyes giving me a headache and Soflens with 8.6 curve were great but dried my eyes out in front of the computer. Acuvue Advance felt worse than both of the other 2.

Hopefully, I will find the contact lens the is right for me so that I can start buying in bulk to save more =)

I did the same thing as you but for some strange reason the total came out to $150.16 and not $144.19??? :confused:

[nanirina]

I've been ordering from costalcontacts for at least 2 years now and they're fast and reliable and always package my contacts with some sort of free gift too.

So yeah i ddin't try to push my luck and want them to just stay in business. lol..

Thanks guys.

I placed an order on clearly contacts, but didn't realize they'd beat coastal contact prices by 10% of the difference - so I gave them a call. The lady was very courteous and speedy. I didn't even ask for her to beat their prices by 10%. She told me instantly that she'd beat coastal contacts prices by 10% even though they're the same company.

I'm impressed. There's virtually no waiting time. I wasn't put on hold for a long time - like when I call a bank or a computer company.

I didn't push my luck. Their prices are already like 50% off Wal-Mart prices. I want them to be able to stay in business and in Canada-no dealing with the customs. Kudos. I highly recommended Clearly Contacts. The company is well managed. I always have a good experience with their customer service team. Maybe FS/BB/stOOpleS/Lenovo can learn from them.

I just had a really bad exp w/ Lenovo in the past few weeks. Last week, one of their reps said the laptop was already in Canada and ready to be shipped. This week, I was told it's still in China. I'm very frustrated and disappointed by Lenovo. I used to be an IBM fan. Sorry for the rants and going off topic. At the present, I won't recommend Lenovo to anyone. Refer to the following link about how unprofessional Lenovo is at the moment.

When pricematching, don't they consider shipping costs as well? Contactlenschoice.com charges $39.95 shipping to Canada >:(


Also, if I PM Contactlenschoice.com to Clearlycontacts.ca...in addition to getting the 110% price guarantee from Clearly, would I still be able to use the 10% redflag coupon, as well as get free shipping if my order is over $99?

[VenomZeus]

Hey guys I'm a little confused here, I got my contacts and it doesn't write which box is for which eye. The strength of my eyes are the same so does that mean that I can wear either one for either eye?

I'm not used to having contacts in a box. I used to buy the yearly ones at Club Price and they told me which one was for which eye so I just kept it that way everyday...

The last place I pricematched with was - was with http://www.todayslens.ca/
They have free shipping after $99.
So when you price match, you'll get free shipping and 110% price guarantee.
It's harder to get another 10% off, but if you said you got this coupon in the mail the last time someone in your family made an order you might be able to get another 10% . Let me know!!
The coupon is called cleary contacts dollars:

It shouldn't matter if your prescription for both eyes are the same. The reason why they indicate left eye/ right eye is because some people have different prescriptions for their eyes.

[a_y3n]

Ask them for information on those contact lens you got, I'm pretty sure they have it on file.

[ES_Revenge]

Bought a bunch of contacts from ClearlyContacts today as I'm just about out of disposables and needed another pair of non-disposables.

Last time I bought from them I just bought one box of Acuvue2 Colours, but since that went well I ordered a little more stuff this time.

While I'm sure it's not necessary to post my daily purchases on RFD, lol, I would mention that I used the ENTERTAINMENT code fine and that I did compare the prices with the CoastalContacts sister site. I found that when using ENTERTAINMENT on ClearlyContacts, the prices came out to be pretty much exactly the same as the CoastalContacts with the 10% off code. This was on Acuvue2 Colours, Acuvue2, and DuraSoft3 Colours. So I didn't really see the price difference that other people claimed was there. :confused:

Plus ordering from Coastal seems to get you slower shipping--free shipping is Ground to Canada on Coastal but FexEx overnight on Clearly.

[passthatversace]

Just ordered from Clearly! I was able to pricematch with a competitor AND get the 25% entertainment code applied.

Saved over $100!

[Cheap Cat]

I just placed an order with Clearly Contacts. I got the price match but no other discounts. The CSR told me that all discounts come before the price match. In fact, in calculating the price match, she included the handling charge and shipping charge from the competitor as well as the exchange rate. When I pointed out that my friend got the price match and then the 25%, she said that they no longer do that. She wouldn't even take the $10 coupon off. I always get the CSR that sticks to the rules and miss out on all the deals others get :(
I still saved about $11 over their price with the 25% discount. I price matched with www.justlenses.com they had the best price I could find on Focus Night & Day. I've got dry eyes so I need these expensive lenses. Is there a cheaper alternative out there?

Thanks OP, I still got a deal over what I paid last time I bought lenses.

If your prescription is the same for both eyes, including sizing, you never have to worry about what lens goes in what eye! In fact with my non-disposables I often "rotate" my lenses so I'm not always wearing the same ones in the same eye. I'm not sure if this helps with lens wear at all (these aren't exactly tyres I know, lol) but I do tend to get about 2-3 years out of non-disposables even with daily wear.

The only reason I started using disposables at all was because I wear coloured lenses usually and have clear lenses as disposables for those times when I want clear. Then I realised the Acuvue's have additional UV protection so I got colour disposables as well for those days where I will be out in the sun a lot (like at work, lol).

But yeah to answer your question it doesn't matter what you do with your lenses in terms of what eye they go in. You can put them in either eye, in either side of the lens case at night, whatever. It's not going to affect anything if it's the same prescription and same sizing.

Update OP - added new coupons to all sections and added a "Vision Direct" section.

Please tell me if any of the codes are expired or if there are more coupons that should be added =)

[passthatversace]

great thread :) keep up the good work!

[BrianJai]

speaking of contacts, anybody know where a good place to get coloured contacts? non-prescription, jus for the looks, like once per week wear or like a few times a week. just want to try... or should i stay away because it causes problems for the eye? anywhere in GTA/Scarb/Markham area is good.

[mself084]

Does anyone know if "Proclear" and "Proclear compatibles" are the same contact lens, with one having a newer name? (i.e. they updated the name). I wear proclear ones, and the only dif I can tell is the word "compatibles" on the picture of the box on the website.

[Hybrid88]

None of the coastal codes worked for me. I want to apply this but it never applies the discount - VISA2007CA

I am in the same situation but I have slight astigmatism in my left eye. I just need to confirm the prescription printed on my trial contacts with what I should fill in when placing my order, (number in brackets is my glasses prescription.)

Cyl=-1.25 (-1.5)
Axis = 70 (65)
Base Curve =8.6

Clearly just raised their prices over night..like i said in the post above I ordered 4 boxes of accuvue moists for $94.71 now its a $104..I called and the guy was like ya...i guess you got a gr8 deal...keep this in mind before ordering ..coastal may be cheaper now..$10 jump...why???:|

[wanton007]

Thanks OP...used the Entertainment code....

Anyone know if the Entertainment code works for glasses too? I've tried some of the other ones, and those work, but an additional 25% off the glasses sale would be awesome!

[Joanie]

Someone please...


Hi,

There are two main contact lenses that are recommended by my optometrist who is highly specialized (i.e recommended by a doctor at the hospital due to eye issues): Acuvue for Astimagtism and Purevision Toric.

I have used both and I prefer Purevision since I find that the Acuvue is too thin and flimsy. I tore it within my first week.

Hope this helps.

BTW, I can barely see the post with the pic in it.

[deviate]

Did they just raise the prices on contacts? I was at coastalcontacts.com and I see people saying for 8 boxes it was $150 something a few months ago but when I go there now I see the prices for 8 boxes is $206.92? Am I missing something here?

[purple_rabbit]

After trying out, I think Vision direct gets me the best price. Calling up Clearlycontacts for the entertainment code is too much of as hassle... Prices seem to be pretty good for O2 Optix

[CinnamonX]

My Frequency 55's are back ordered from Clearly right now. 2-3 weeks until they come. Anybody else with this problem?

[TheRequiem]

Does anyone know of any vendors that will send/sell an array of different lenses in my prescription (small quantity, obviously) so I can test out what I like?

I've never worn contacts before, but glasses are getting really annoying.

I'm happy to grab samples one at a time too, if thats how its done, I just don't know where to start. Recommendations?

Try optomestrists in your area. They charge you a fitting fee then allow you to try on a couple of contact lens until you find the one that you like.

[EvolutionIV]

Thanks to the OP for the info!

I just placed order for 4 boxes of Purevision Toric for a total of US$168.69 on Costal Contacts. I will update on what shows up on the credit card when its posted.

The eye clinic wanted $300 for the same 4 boxes.

Thanks!:razz:

I've been looking at getting some contacts for sports. I have astigmatism so I was wondering if there are any members who also have it that use a specific brand/lens

[Katharyna]

I bought 8 boxes of Optix O2 from clearly contacts.ca, called them to price match visiondirect.com. At first the girl wouldnt let me pricematch visiondirect.com price less the visiondirect coupon of 15%, but when i said id cancel the order and buy it from visiondirect, she got me an «exception». I don't get the idea, pricematching means you beat the competitor's price if i was to buy from the competitor, regardless of the promotion. The girl wanted to pricematch their listed price, why would I pay visiondirect's regular price if i can buy with a coupon with a cheaper price???

140$ shipping included for 24 pairs of contacts. At the optometrist, I used to pay 180$ for 12 pairs. I'm happy.

[don_lee103]

Question. I am trying to get clearly contacts to pm costal. First of all, will they pricematch coastal's pricing after the coupon? If so, can I apply the clearly's coupon again?
What would be the best way to approach this deal?

[thesober]

I bought 4 boxes of Acuvue Oasys at $22.50 each at Costco, plus there is a $20 mail in rebate and $20 costco cash card included...now that's mad deals!
I think the cash card is over now but the mail in rebate should still be valid.

[chiva255]

does any of the coastalcontacts coupons work?? i ant seem to get any to work

[Scuzuliak]

I'm not sure if anyone's noticed this before (I haven't read the entire thread), but it seems clearlycontacts.ca charges more when you're a repeat customer.

Went to order some more contacts from them and selected my contacts and it was $59.99/box, so $119.98 total, and then I was going to use the 15% off Visa coupon. But, I couldn't remember my base curve, so instead of looking for my old boxes in recycle, I just went to my e-mail and found the refill message they sent and clicked on the link in there.

Now they wanted $65.99/box with a total of $137.19! I don't know where that extra $5.21 in the total came from. Went back to their home page... same thing. Switched to another web browser and went directly to their website and it still said the same thing. So I connected into my work computer and went to their website and it had the original price of $59.99. Ordered it with the Visa coupon and it came out to $106.72 (w/$4.74 "handling" fee).

So, I saved almost $15 by not using the link in the refill e-mail!

[RazzleDazzle]

Ordered 2 boxes of O2optix from Visiondirect on May 1st, it shipped May 6th, as of today (May 22nd), it still hasn't arrived. As an added bonus, there's no tracking for international shipments either...

[twg]

I tried to get clearlycontacts.ca to pricematch coastal... they did... HOWEVER, they would not accept the ENTERTAINMENT coupon... after I told them I would just order from the US site because they have other coupons, the lady told me I could use the ENTERTAINMENT coupon provided that I have the actual entertainment book... I didn't of course so she wouldn't allow it.

I ended up just ordering from coastalcontacts.com, and using the CRAZE25 coupon to get 25bux off my order just over 199.

This way, you also avoid the GST too... :)

[DG3x]

Hey guys,

Been on this site for ages, saw this thread which brings me here and nice to meet all of you.

I am quite confused. At clearlycontacts.ca, I went to acuvue2, then by quantity for each eye I put 6. Does this mean 6 pairs?

I also noticed it says 6 per box, so does it maybe mean 6 means 6 boxes? I am quite confused because if it is 6 pairs @ $189.39 INCLUDING a $59.97 ENTERTAINMENT coupon, then I could go to almost any eye place in the city and get a better deal, I know my local one by my house charges $130 for these for 6 months.

Hopefully one of you can clear this up for me, I'm also at work and cuold be overlooking everything.

[a_y3n]

If you order 6 boxes for each eye you will have a total of 36 pairs.

Can anyone confirm which coupon codes work for Coastal? The visa2007 seems to be for 2007 - there is a 2008 code on the visaperks website but it is for clearlycontacts.ca!

I'm interested in the ultimate 10% off code. Anyone tried that recently?

[Aj23]

so what's the best deal on OASYS right now? Also, would 4 boxes per eye equal a years supply? I am hoping to pay under $150 for a year with taxes and preferably before rebates (first time user) is it possible?

[subaru08]

[QUOTE=Aj23;6883960]so what's the best deal on OASYS right now? Also, would 4 boxes per eye equal a years supply? QUOTE]


4 boxes = 6 pairs per box x 4 = 24 pairs
for bi-weekly ones: 24 x 2 = 48 weeks supply

which is almost (4 weeks short for) a year. Dailies are only 30 pairs per box so that will be only 4 moths or so.

[kuzi]

just had a quick question...I was placing an order for contacts and wanted to use the ENTERTAINMENT coupon but the rep on the phone asked me to look at the coupon and to read him the EXPIRY DATE...I didn't have it so I said I would phone back later...does anyone physically have the coupon and if so, could you please post the expiry date...thanks!

[ladyhawk]

I just placed an order from Coastal, using the Visa2007CA coupon, since the first page of this thread didn't indicate it was expired yet. I kept thinking there'd be a final confirmation page that would show the discount, but the minute I put my CC info in, I get the screen saying my order had been placed WITHOUT the discount. Did I use a defunct code, or do I need to call them directly to apply this coupon? TIA

I've been looking at getting some contacts for sports. I have astigmatism so I was wondering if there are any members who also have it that use a specific brand/lens

I've been wearing contacts for years and have been playing sports.. I recently switched to Purevision torics and they are definitely the best I've tried. A little more pricey, but worth it. Also for any contact wearer, try the clear care solution. This stuff is magic.. Its like a fresh pair of contacts every time.

[mself084]

got my contacts yesterday from clearly contacts....definitely impressed. they PM'ed coastal contacts and took an extra 10% off. add in a free pair of sunglasses (promo on right now, i think), free lens case, AND overnight fedex shipping for free, and im blown away. Came to $100 for 12 pairs of proclear compatibles.

thanks OP! definitely ordering again next year.

I've been wearing contacts for years and have been playing sports.. I recently switched to Purevision torics and they are definitely the best I've tried. A little more pricey, but worth it. Also for any contact wearer, try the clean care solution. This stuff is magic.. Its like a fresh pair of contacts every time.

This Clear Care solution sounds interesting...where specifically(name of store) do you purchase it? I have not seen it before.

You can get this stuff at any drug store I think. I got some at Shoppers drug mart. Fire Eye Alert: from experience, don't try to use this stuff in a regular case. You're eye will burn like nothing you've felt before. It also has to be in the solution for at least 6 hours before you can wear them again.

[mself084]

What do you guys fax/mail to your insurance company? I ordered from clearly contacts, and there was an invoice in the box, but nothing saying I've actually paid. Do you send the invoice plus the email confirmation of payment to your insurance company? thanks! :)

If you don't use the stuff in a regular case.. what do you use it in?

It comes with its own stand up case that lets the chemical evaporate.

My case had a crack in it, so I tried a regular case.. :lol: It does say clearly on the box not to. :D

[mcbg1]

I'm ready to order some contacts from clearlycontacts.ca but I'm not sure how it works. Do I order from them and then PM with coastal when I receive my invoice? Or should I PM with them on the phone before I order anything?

You can order on the phone and PM at the same time.

[Aggy]

yeah, what's up with that? I used the link to reorder last year and when I compared bills I noticed that price had gone up! Even if I change to a different product there's still a higher price? WTF?


I'm not sure if anyone's noticed this before (I haven't read the entire thread), but it seems clearlycontacts.ca charges more when you're a repeat customer.

Went to order some more contacts from them and selected my contacts and it was $59.99/box, so $119.98 total, and then I was going to use the 15% off Visa coupon. But, I couldn't remember my base curve, so instead of looking for my old boxes in recycle, I just went to my e-mail and found the refill message they sent and clicked on the link in there.

Now they wanted $65.99/box with a total of $137.19! I don't know where that extra $5.21 in the total came from. Went back to their home page... same thing. Switched to another web browser and went directly to their website and it still said the same thing. So I connected into my work computer and went to their website and it had the original price of $59.99. Ordered it with the Visa coupon and it came out to $106.72 (w/$4.74 "handling" fee).

So, I saved almost $15 by not using the link in the refill e-mail!

i second that clear care solution is awesome. i usually get it at shopper's drug mart or costco.

the solution is hydrogen peroxide based, which is why it burns. i was told the dark grey part at the bottom of the case is coated with traces of titanium, which neutralizes the hydrogen peroxide so your contacts are safe to put in your eye after 6hrs

[missdiva]

another site clearly/coastal contacts will PM is lens.com

just ordered 4 boxes of purevisions from clearly contacts for $120

[kiasu]

One of my eye has astimagtism. I checked previous posts and someone recommended PureVision Toric or Acuvue Advance for Astigmatism. However, I notice they dont have the number I need when filling up the info.

For example, one of my eye's cylinder is -1.75 but they only have -1.25 and -1.50.

Any suggestion or those who have knowledge with it?

[yipes]

Kiasu, and anyone else who's asking what they should wear, you guys need to go see your optometrist. Would you wear clothes that don't fit? Imagine how uncomfortable it is...now imagine that on your eye.

Go get properly fitted, then order your contacts online.

i agree, if you are trying a new type of CL, ie: going from regular to toric get it fitted, but dont go for fittings if your just changing brands..if anything just request a trial..

In my city, Calgary if you want a trial fitting you need to wait 2 months if you want it done free (costco)..if you want to pay for your fitting and get a trial pair sure you can get it in a week or two but you need to pay..

IMO but a year supply of what contact lens you want then try a box, if it doesent work out you can return the unopened back to the company for a full refund.

I have been on Acuvue for astigmatism for about a year but upon reccomendations will try purevision toric, with Acuvue my vision was not as good far away and lately i am getting lots of red eye, at one point my right eye was blod shot red lol scary :(

the weird thing for me is that there are days where I'll feel as if I'm wearing nothing but other days (yesterday) will feel like there is constantly something jabbing at my eye >:(

i think I'm going to Costco after this week and request a trial pair of the Acuvue Oasys for Astigmatism and see how that goes. a lot of people are saying that they're really good lenses for people with dry eyes.

thanks for the tip about lens.com! their prices are super cheap!

[edit] damn it...clearly/coastal don't carry Acuvue Oasys for Astigmatism :mad:

i just called costco and the ones in Ottawa do not have the Oasys for Astigmatism yet. the lady said she'll order me some other random pair because i already tried a purevision pair way back. i suggested soflens but she told me they're old and similar to acuvue's advance for astigmatism. oh well, she's the boss. i'll see how the pair she's gonna order for me are.

wtf oasys for astigmatism?! news to me i may try a few trial pairs before taking the plunge, i find my vision is just CRAP with acuvue advance so i might just try purevision as i heard vision is better with this, i dont have HUGE problems with dryness though

Well purevisions last for 30 days instead of the 14 AV advance do..?

[cuto]

Try Acuvue Oasys if you have dry eyes.ya i'm glad they came out with the acuvue oasys for astigmatism. hopefully it'll turn out to be good. heh. *cross fingers*. my contact lens supply has diminished. need to re-supply!

[JoeyB]

I wear rigid gas permeable and have for a long, long time.
I discovered how great this cleaner is about 2 years ago.
(You must use the case provided or the solution won't work.)
One of my lens is over 20 years old (older than most of you kiddies):lol:
and one is like 9 years old. How's that for long life?
I also swear by the Optimum brand (http://www.allaboutvision.com/products/lobob.htm). (I don't think it's available in Canada)
There's three components WRW, CDS and ESC.
However since I've been using Clear Care the only other thing I use most of the time is Aquify prior to insertion.(that's sold in Canada)
Boston and B&H brands both suck from my personal experience.

[Ch28]

Well purevisions last for 30 days instead of the 14 AV advance do..?

thats the problem witb Acuvue lenses...bi-weekly is the longest for most of them whereas the B&L Purevisions last a month

i don't know about the acuvue oasys but they're probably bi-weekly as well

[SirAlain]

If I just order 2 boxes of colorblends, will clearlycontacts pricematch (lens.com or contactlenschoice.com or ?) and apply discount?

Or do they have a minimum # of orders before they pricematch & discount?

[cuto]

so my free trial pair ordered from costco came in today. pretty darn fast! so the lady ordered air optix from ciba vision. my god, they feel like i'm wearing nothing! i'm impressed!

i asked about the low water content in these and how it would affect my dry eyes. he said they'd be perfect for it because my dry eyes would want to absorb as much of the high water content in the other ones. i guess this works out pretty well. i'll try them on for a while and then see. i just checked clearlycontacts, lens, visiondirect, and coastalcontacts and they offer them but they're very expensive. d'oh! lol

[foxtrot30]

Hi there! I went to Walmart yesterday to get a trial pair for Oasys because I tend to get dry eyes when wearing contacts. Then the optician started talking about doing another fitting, when I'm reasonably confident I don't need one. Does every optician want to do a fitting when first getting lenses from them? Has anyone's experience at Costco been the same?

Costco has been pretty good so far. I went in for a free fitting after setting up an appointment and they gave me a pair of Purevision Torics for my astigmatism. I went back after a week and I didn't like them so they ordered a pair of Acuvue Advanced for Astigmatism. They're not working out so well for me so I have to see what else they can order in.

[twg]

Yes, my experience has been similar EVERYWHERE. Even at the University of Waterloo School of Optometry Contact Lense Clinic.

The thing is, contacts need some time to get used to, and even if they are comfortable from day 1, there could be other reactions that you might not feel. After numerous visits, they determined that I was allergic to the B&L cleaners so I now exclusively use Solocare...

If there was an optician that doesn't request multi-fittings/visits then I'd be worried.

how are the fitting schedules for walmart? are there any costs? i know costco is free but they have 2 months booking delays

[Fuud]

Has anyone had any problems price matching visiondirect or coastalcontacts prices with clearlycontacts? On the clearly contacts site, it says they'll only price match canadian websites. About to put my order in...

[janbee]

does anyone know of a coupon code for coastal contacts that is valid right now? Ive tried a few and they dont seem to work.

[yipes]

I know you can use code HILARYS for 10 % off on glasses and sunglasses...not sure about contacts.

im having problems getting my lenses covered under my insurance plan (sunlife). i ordered through clearly contacts and sent my invoice in, but it was rejected with a note asking for the original proof of payment. clearly contacts sent me another invoice, which i sent off again yesterday...im hoping to get some positive news back soon. i ordered 4 boxes of proclears for about $100.

anyone else had problems claiming online contacts through insurance?

[anom]

I didn't have any problems with Manulife.

clearlycontacts.ca just got acuvue oasys for astigmatism on their website..
i PM'ed at clearlycontacts with lens.com with a coupon code for free shipping and $5 dollars off (COUPONCABIN-ERTC)... it didn't work for the CC rep i was talking to so he asked me what i got off with the coupon code and he took that amount off himself... i should have lied and said it was $10 off.... =/

anyways i bought 4 boxes total and it came out to ~$114 ... =)
i believe there's an $80 difference between lens.com and CC... so you get a savings of $8 off the lens.com price...
plus i get a $40 MIR for the acuvue oasys of astig... but i believe its only valid for US residents... well thats what the rep told me...

4 boxes for $114... nicccceeee.....

[pac1971]

No problems claiming with Great West Life...the shipping isn't included though..just the contacts..

[xchaosprince]

Called clearlycontacts to pricematch visiondirect for 8 boxes of Acuvue Oasys.
clealycontacts: 37.99/ box
visiondirect: 25.99/ box

37.99 x 8 = 303.92 but shows 318.96 on the website
25.99 x 8 = 207.92 - $4 volume discount and apply 15new (15% off) = 173.33
318.96
-173.33
----------
145.63 x 0.1 = $14.56
173.33
-14.56
-------------
158.77 + free shipping

I tried asking to apply a second coupon (entertainment) for an additonal 25% off to the final price but they said no to me but ordered anyways since i saved so much already and shouldn't try to push my luck. However, I have heard of other people that were able to get the additonal 25% off, so YMMV.

Sidenote: CSR kept on asking me to place the order when I was trying to haggle with the additonal coupon. Seems like they work on commission or something along that line.

You can try getting the second coupon with this procedure:
Optional:Apply the entertainment coupon (entertainment)
158.77 x .75 = 119.07

OR:

There is also the rebate forum. Not to sure if clearlycontacts offers this or not so I never bothered asking.You can try asking for the $30 or $60 (new wearers) rebate forum and if it applies to Canadian residents (some rebate forums says you have to had a eye test in the last 90 days prior to ordering)
119.07 - 30 = 89.07
119.07 - 60 = 59.07<------- that would be flaming hot!

[SirAlain]

I pricematched Coastal contact. So I got the 110% guaranteed and the entertainment 25% off too.

Clearly: $19.99

Costal: $13.74


$19.99- $13.74= $6.25 + 10% price difference = $6.875 (110% guranteed)

$19.99- $6.875= $13.115 x 12 (QTY) = $157.38 x 0.25%(entertainment code)

= $39.345

$157.38 - $39.345

= $118.035

Ok, my math is a bit off the second time around but the rep on the phone told me $116.12
Thank you for posting this calculation! I used it as a guide.
My math is hopeless.

Costco now carries Acuvue Oasys for Astigmatism! Was there at the Markham East location ... they said they just got them in on July 1st! So I'll definitely be getting a trial pair there after I get my new prescription.

They said the price is $40 per box, and that they guarantee the fit. There's also a Costco rebate for 8 boxes or so.

FYI I just placed my Acuvue Oasys order now with clearlycontacts and they (she) would not allow me to use the 15new code on the vision direct price to determine price difference. She pointed me to their help section where is does state that in their terms and conditions of the 110% price match.

# Promo codes, rebates or other discounts from the other website will not e included in determining the price difference.
http://www.clearlycontacts.ca/faq.ep#menu36

Ended up working out to approx $141Cdn for 6 boxes (compared to $118 if they would have accepted the 15new code) which is the same price if I placed the order on vision direct used 15new and added $10 for shipping.

$141/6box = $23.50/box

EDIT: Reading costalcontact terms and conditions it is stated differently. It says "does not apply to merchants offering special rebate offers or membership requirements" which 15new technically does not require so I may try to match again within 5 days using the costalcontact.com 1-800 phone number and maybe save $23. But I did order though clearlycontacts so I don't know if it will work...

I called up Clearly Contacts so they could PM with their Coastal price for some Focus Dailies 90's. Funny thing was, the price I got online from Costal (using the ULTIMATE10OFF code) was still $30 cheaper than what was showing up in their computer! And like others have said, CC won't PM the Costal coupon. The CSR told me I should go ahead and order online because she couldn't match the price!

When asked why there was such a price discepancy between their US and Canadian web sites, I was told it's because they have different suppliers, even though all the orders ship out of their same warehouse! The CSR also told me there's a 2 day processing period from Coastal for orders to the U.S. because they have to verify the perscription (no such rule exists for Canadians) :D

Maybe no such rule exists yet for online sales in Canada but I tried yesterday to get replacement contact lenses at Costco and the guy would not sell them to me even though I had my empty boxes with me. He said that he can't legally sell them to me without a Rx and I would also have to be "fitted" as well. I don't know why you need to be "fitted" everywhere you go get contact lenses when you already have been fitted before:confused:
Ended up ordering thru clearlycontacts.ca and used the coupon code ENTERTAINMENT for 25% off.

[duster]

The Clearlycontacts policies clearly say that they won't PM US sites...so you guys had no problem doing a PM with Lens.com?!

Applies only to established and reputable online retailers of contact lenses in Canada. Clearly Contacts reserves the right to match prices at its discretion.

I called up Clearly Contacts so they could PM with their Coastal price for some Focus Dailies 90's. Funny thing was, the price I got online from Costal (using the ULTIMATE10OFF code) was still $30 cheaper than what was showing up in their computer! And like others have said, CC won't PM the Costal coupon. The CSR told me I should go ahead and order online because she couldn't match the price!

When asked why there was such a price discepancy between their US and Canadian web sites, I was told it's because they have different suppliers, even though all the orders ship out of their same warehouse! The CSR also told me there's a 2 day processing period from Coastal for orders to the U.S. because they have to verify the perscription (no such rule exists for Canadians) :D

I noticed that the "Doctor Info" step disapear @ Lens.com when you choose Canada as your shipping country.

So I imagine that they only need to ask your opto info (or a copy of your Rx) if you're from US (US federal law).

[neos]

YMMV, but using the ULTIMATE10OFF coupon from Coastal Contacts still beat the 25% coupon from Clearly Contacts. How ridiculous is that :confused:

[emlty]

im having problems getting my lenses covered under my insurance plan (sunlife). i ordered through clearly contacts and sent my invoice in, but it was rejected with a note asking for the original proof of payment. clearly contacts sent me another invoice, which i sent off again yesterday...im hoping to get some positive news back soon. i ordered 4 boxes of proclears for about $100.

anyone else had problems claiming online contacts through insurance?

Were you able to get reimbursed after submitting it again?

I also deal with Sunlife and over the past 2 years have probably submitted 10 invoices from Clearly Contacts without issue, sometimes using my health spending account and sometimes just under regular vision benefits. I've sent in the e-mail confirmation of order, the invoice or the payment receipt, all seem to be accepted.

I've even had the handling charges paid for at times, even though I didn't ask for it to be, they will sometimes put it through under my health spending account, another time I asked for it to be paid that way and was told it wasn't an eligible coverage expense. I guess it all depends on the person going through your claim. One of my co-workers does the online claims without sending receipts and they get paid without issue through sunlife for stuff bought at clearly contacts.

[kongx]

For those currently wearing Acuvue Oasys is there a signifcant difference between a pair that has a base curve of 8.4 and another with a base curve of 8.8? I am currently wearing O2Optix which has a base curve of 8.6. Which pair of Oasys should I get?

Yup - thanks for asking. I had to request a 2nd invoice from clearly contacts showing the amount paid....basically they (Sunlife) needed to see one line that said "AMOUNT PAID IN FULL - $1xx.xx (credit card)".

[iceprince]

Anyone know if the ENTERTAINMENT code works for designer frame glasses?

I've been trying a couple of times for these pair frame: https://www.clearlycontacts.ca/glasses/frames/christian-dior-3132/prod23132.html

I've also tried other brands Hugo, Fendi, Gucci. It seems the coupon isnt working for the designer frames.....

[Geelee]

do all Clearlycontacts coupon codes work on GLASSES as well and not just contacts?

[azia]

UGGGHHHH, this PM thing is so frustrating. i just spent about 30 on the phone with the rep. first trying to PM with Lensmart, then Vision Direct, then Coastal Contacts. she was adding their coupon to Clearly Contact's subtotal, adding shipping + processing fee to the competitors subtotal and the price she was quoting me was something like $210-220 Canadian for 8 boxes of Acuvue Oasys. :mad:

[amandathepilot]

so I tried a few times today and no rep would let me pricematch AND use a coupon on the same order. They kept saying that I wouldnt save as much if they used the coupon because it would be taken off of the clearly contacts price they were pricematching with.

Makes sense, but I've used PM and coupon 3 times before!!

In the end I'm paying 193.03 for 12 boxes of acuvue oasys, so works out to 16$ a box. Not bad I must say.

[asia_le]

the CSR i got let me pricematch...but she wouldn't let me use the coupon...

How'd you get this price? Who did you pricematch with?

[stryder1587]

Somewhat unrelated to the thread, but I figured if I asked in here, someone will know.

My prescription is written using the 20/something system, so I have 625 in one eye and 500 in the other. I'd like to order contacts but I don't know what the equivalent is using diopters.

Is it just -6.25 and -5.00?

Are eyeglasses prescriptions different from contacts? I ask this since contacts are much closer to your eye than eyeglasses are, so would contact prescriptions be slightly weaker to account for that? Might be a stupid question to you guys, but it's my first time getting contacts so.

Vision direct has the best price by far for my contacts.

$15.99 vs $29.99 at clearlycontacts.ca, plus I can hopefully get it cheaper still with coupons.

Has anyone ordered from Vision Direct to Ontario? Are they okay to deal with? Will shipping kill it?

Thanks.

I have been reading through this thread but I am not sure if anyone asked this questions before.

If you order contact lenses from the US, are there any customs or duty charges applied?

Thank you for the help!

I ordered from visiondirect.com last year when they had a Free Shipping promo but their regular shipping to Ontario is $9.99 US.

anybody know that whether buying from online retailer such as TodaysLens and all the others ones mentioned here is considered dispensing contacts from an optician - I ask becuase I have insurnace coverage with SunLife and it says they'll cover contact lenses dispensed from optometirst / opticians etc.

no one seems to be updating the coupon codes listed on the first page... so can someone just list all the coupon codes that apply on eyeglasses still for clearlycontacts? many thanks.

It seems like no one can confirm being able to pricematch and then use a coupon since the beginning of August! I tried today and they said I can't do both.

Your written prescription is for glasses, -2 would be your glasses but contacts might be -1.75 for you. Contacts usually are a slightly different strength since they are closer to your eyes. This is why online sites tell you to read your prescription off an existing box when ordering.
Your optometrist is legally obligated to provide you a written copy of your prescription, but I ...guess...he could decide to not tell you about the contacts he gave you.Thats one cold jerk though. Time to find a new optometrist?

The ENTERTAINMENT code didn't work at first so I called them and they adjusted it off. I then read this thread and noticed that visiondirect.com is much cheaper even after clearlycontacts coupon code is applied. I cancelled my order with CC and will go with visiondirect instead and I can get more contacts for the amount my insurance at work covers.

i know costalcontacts and clearlycontacts are the same company. but why would clearly PM costal since costal is in $USD. do they apply the exchange rate for that day?

same with vision direct. aren't they in $USD? hence, why would clearlycontacts PM them?

I'm interested in refilling my contacts prescription. I sent an email to Clearly Contacts looking for them to PM Coastal Contacts + give me 25% off with the ENTERTAINMENT code. They indicated that they could do one or the other but not both.

With the CAD$ quite low, I prefer ordering from a CDN online store. Are there any alternatives to CC?

what you can do is PM Visiondirect because they have the volume discount and the 15% off first order. so if you were to work out the math, its better to get your lenses from Clearycontacts and PM Vision. shipping is away faster when you order from CC

Just ordered from Coastal contacts - original price for 8 boxes (2 years worth) was $362.60 - - -

[jlo mein]

Today I called Clearly Contacts and spoke with a CSR named Rashiid. I asked him to PM VisionDirect's price (along with VisionDirect's 10% off coupon) and he refused. He said he could only PM their regular price. I then asked him if I could use a Clearly Contacts coupon since he was refusing to PM VisionDirect's coupon. He went to ask his supervisor who refused.

Basically he told me I could either use a Clearly Contacts coupon towards their own price, or just PM the regular price of VisionDirect. Pretty disappointing, I guess I'll try again tomorrow or something.

Used VISA2008CA today for 15% since ENTERTAINMENT did not work for me.

[bargainhuntercanada]

It would have been a screaming deal if I could have used the 25% coupon ENTERTAINMENT in addition to a price match, but like everyone said, they don't seem to honour this, at least not anymore.

Everyone's prices seemed to have gone up, literally overnight for some! I was trying to price match last night some lenses that were $17 cheaper on todayslens.ca compared to clearlycontacts.ca and overnight this difference was only $10!

So...although they would have PM'ed todayslens.ca, it was cheaper to use the 25% off coupon on their regular price. Remember to check which is the better deal...PM'ing isn't always cheaper.

TIP: When PM'ing, if you've bought contacts before from clearlycontacts, their "refill" price is actually higher than the website price (the rep didn't know why that was), but the rep makes sure she PMs with this higher refill price so that she gives the better deal (greater price difference, better deal). If using a coupon instead, make sure it's the lower price between the website and the refill price. Again, I was told the refill price is actually higher.

I'm looking at this pair of Armani frames https://www.coastalcontacts.com/glasses/frames/giorgio-armani-461-black/prod22461.html looks really nice! and it's just $30 more after all discounts and exchange rate if I order through coastal vs clearly.

Ordered using the ENTERTAINMENT code yesterday and my lenses arrived this morning. I decided against ordering from visiondirect since all their prices are in US$ and shipping takes longer.


By the way, if for whatever reason you are ordering glasses and the entertainment code doesn't work or expires, you can use GLASSES44 to save 25% off glasses. This code was included in my order and only works on glasses.

ok here's some help
if you've read the thread you'll understand there are different suppliers you can use. these are for acuvue advance, base curve 8.3, 8 boxes

visiondirect comes to 133.13 US
coastal contacts comes to 160.87 US then there's a $30 rebate = 130.87 US
clearly contacts comes to 277.12 CDN

now at first glance visiondirect seems to be the way to go.....
not so fast!!!!
clearly contacts will price match vision direct then subtract 10% of the difference
that's an additional $14.40 off the $133.13
I'll let you do the math here.....
Then they will bill you in Canadian dollars
Then they will ship for free
And there is no GST/PST on contacts.

in case you're wondering this works out to about $15 CDN a box

[joe2k1]

Thanks OP for a hot deal. I did exactly what the above poster did but one extra step. Acuve has a rebate promotion on its entire line of contacts. I don't have the actual rebate here, but I will post it later. I ended up calling J&J Acueve Rebate Centre and asked for a blank rebate certificate. The rebate allows a discount of anywhere from $10 to $100 off depending on how many boxes you purchase. Not only can we get US pricing with a generous discount, but we can get a rebate from the maker of Acuve's on top it. I would say this is one of those RFD posts that I would rank in my top 3 as great deals to be found on here! Thanks again OP!

EDIT: 1-800-434-8506 is the Johnson & Johnson Acuvue rebate centre hotline.

Just spoke with a very nice CSR who informed me that both the free glasses and the rebate is only offered to US customers (with a US address and they need to have a valid script from optometrist or MD for both the order and the rebate). If anyone knows otherwise, please let us know.

[emchiasson]

Just an FYI for all - I was trying to get the ENTERTAINMENT code to work cor clearlycontacts.ca and switched from Safari to Camino browser... my Safari price was $82.49/box for Focus Night & Day and when adding to cart in Camino it shows up as $74.99/box a 10% difference right off the top.

Really peeves me off that I got these contacts back in the spring for about $40/box and now over double... guess that'll teach me to buy in bulk when the deal is good!

[gulfan]

Couldn't get the ENTERTAINMENT coupon code to work. Called and said they would add the coupon / discount to my order.

[yao416]

anymore 25% off clearlycontracts? :D

[X]

I'm not sure if anyone's noticed this before (I haven't read the entire thread), but it seems clearlycontacts.ca charges more when you're a repeat customer.

Went to order some more contacts from them and selected my contacts and it was $59.99/box, so $119.98 total, and then I was going to use the 15% off Visa coupon. But, I couldn't remember my base curve, so instead of looking for my old boxes in recycle, I just went to my e-mail and found the refill message they sent and clicked on the link in there.

Now they wanted $65.99/box with a total of $137.19! I don't know where that extra $5.21 in the total came from. Went back to their home page... same thing. Switched to another web browser and went directly to their website and it still said the same thing. So I connected into my work computer and went to their website and it had the original price of $59.99. Ordered it with the Visa coupon and it came out to $106.72 (w/$4.74 "handling" fee).

So, I saved almost $15 by not using the link in the refill e-mail!


It's not only through the refill link that they do it, they also use cookies with your web browser to remember you. The price the web site quoted when I was using the computer that I made my last order from was $3.50 a box higher than the price it quoted when I used my laptop or my computer at work. I deleted the cookies to test my theory, and as I expected, it gave me the lower price.

Before placing an order with Clearly Contacts, delete your web browser's cookies, and it will "forget" that you are a repeat customer.

[am1306]

Watch out for clearlycontacts when using a promo.

I ordered 8 boxes back in Sept, and was quoted the price match to coastalcontacts (which at the time was a considerable difference - before our dollar tanked). But when my visa statement came in, the full amount was on it - not reflecting the discount.

One email was all it took to get the refund placed back on my card (they said the discount must have gotten lost in cyber space)...

BUT, I just placed an order for my husbands contacts last week and used the price match again... and guess what, the discount wasn't applied again. I am in the process of having it rectified... but if you don't check your credit card statement (as I'm guessing many people don't) - you'll get charged the whole amount quoted on their website and no discount of any kind.

How much is shipping from lens.com?

I checked Costco and they seem to have it for $45 per box ( all in )

so lens.com price $72 x 1.25 = 90 + shipping...

[asia_le]

err...why dont you guys price match with clearlycontacts?

[knight]

because it is not worth it

you have to pay shipping if you buy less than $100 worth

so $72 American which they will probably convert to CDN = $90 which I can just go to costco and grab them...


even if they don't convert to CDN you have to pay tax+ shipping which comes to the same price as Costco.. so not worth my effort

[am1306]

With our dollar being so low right now, the price match isn't the best deal - as it was in the summer.

Since the price match on my second order also "went missing" I had to contact customer service and have them credit my account... but the agent I got said it would be best to apply the VisaPerks discount as it would end up being cheaper for me than to do the price match.

Just wondering if anyone has come across this when ordering contacts. Part of my prescription has a cylinder value of .50 and axis values of 17 and 163.

The problem I'm having is that when trying to order, these values are not in the drop downs.

Now I'm sure if i call them or ask someone they will probably say to just pick the closest value but is that really o.k. Especially since this is to do with my vision.

Any help would be greatly appreciated as i would rather not buy from my optometrist for those outrageous prices.

Thanks

I wouldn't put something in my eye for up to 12h/day every day for several months if I was unsure of the fit. You may not notice any slight differences in the fit, but over that time, your eye could be damaged. I think some brands only come in some sizes... or maybe they only carry those specific sizes. I would suggest going to your local Costco and getting a trial pair of something you are considering (they will give you the trial pairs for free and make sure they fit). Then take the trial pairs and order the same size online.

I also noticed the prices at clearlycontacts has gone up by almost 50% since the last time I ordered. 3 months ago, I paid $22.xx a box (for 6) and two days ago I paid $32.xx a box (for 8) for the same brand. If I ordered 6 boxes again it would have been $37.xx a box. Have prices gone up so much????

Your prescription for eyeglasses is not the same as your prescription for contacts.

Have you ever ordered contact lenses from your optometrist before? If so, and your prescription has not changed, I would just get the same thing that they prescribed, you can just re-order the boxes that you already have.
Enter the prescription from the boxes.

Were you told that you need contacts with astigmatism correction? I have astigmatism, but it's not very high, so I'm able to use regular lenses.

If you've never tried contact lenses before, I would get a trial pair first, just to make sure you can tolerate wearing them etc. You can also see if you can see clearly with normal lenses vs. lenses with astigmatism correction.

Hi,

That is my prescription for Toric contact lenses. I've been wearing contact lenses for over 15 years and have ordered from the net in the past but this time my prescription has changed and i tried a few different sites and makes of contacts and none offered those values.

Guess i'll keep checking and if not, back to paying the optometrist.

Thanks

[dodokid]

when ordering from coastal contacts.. are the prices listed in CDN or US? and also, is it being shipped from the US? thanks,

[JustPass]

Thanks OP

[dvdguy]

ENT2009CA Thx... worked like a charm! Dec 16/08

[jlo mein]

Just called in and price matched Acuvue Oasis (Clearly Contacts at $36.89CDN/box, Visiondirect.com at $25.99US/box). Odd that he said I would get free shipping and no exchange rate conversion required.

I tried to add a coupon but he refused to do so on top of the price match. On the first page of this thread it sounds like PM's with coupons is a YMMV thing, so I didn't argue it.

[redzone]

I just placed an order and sent in a request for a price match. we will see if it works. I used the ENT2009CA cupon code and it worked!

2 boxes of Purevision Toric for 116.80 before a price match. Hopefuly i will get an email today and they will match it.

[Gingergirl]

I have Priced Match with Clearly Contacts last month but they wouldn't let me use a coupon as well.
When i originally tried to PM with lens.com Clearly converted the 25.00 per box to Canadian and so it wasn't as good a deal... so the same day I found a better price for Oyasis Toric at Todays in Canadian $ and they only did part PM and didn't give me the 10%. It just seems like they have a what ever policy for whomever...:mad:

I paid for 8 boxes of Oyasis Torics $375 but I get 75 back rebate from Johnson & Johnson if I send in the boxtops. And 200 from my work for vision so 100.00 out of my own pocket not too bad!;)

[rl7greg]

VISA2008CA for 15% off at clearly contacts

what other websites are there? I am looking for the best deal on Acuvue Oasys for Astigmatism ?

Visiondirect/coastalcontacts/clearlycontacts/todayslens... anything else ?

lowest I found is $37 USD per box

http://www.contactlensking.com/acuvueoasysforastigmatism.aspx
$32.95 US w/free shipping - (~40.22 CDN at todays rate). No tax or duty on contact lenses IIRC.

I doubt clearly contacts will price match that, but they probably will match http://www.todayslens.ca/index.php?target=products&product_id=2783141 $46.95 and not sure how many boxes you want, but say 2 boxes each, their price is 64.89, so they should match and take 10% of the difference off, so $45.16 per box CDN and probably they'd match free shipping/handling. I'd call them to place the order, rather than doing it online and then emailing for a price match.

[ellemea]

a new code for 15% off at clearly contacts, TELUSPERKS, enjoy.

for whom interested in acuvue 1 day, here's how i got my deal. coastal contacts has 12 box for usd19.89, while clearly contacts has the same thing for cad34.89. so i called for pm, ex rate 1.22 today and i managed to also get them match the 30 off 200 coupon (GIFT30).

end up paying 251.xx for 12 boxes instead of 376.xx, great deal!:lol::cheesygri:razz:

[ellemea]

btw, these 2 are actually the same company, just has different websites for US and CA;)

[ryan123]

are there 15% off code for costalcontacts?

[kongx]

Anyone ordered Acuvue Oasys lately? Where would the best deal be for 8 boxes after applying any coupons or discounts?

[Mui_Mui]

If you have a costco card I would suggest checking out costco.
I bought 8 boxes of Acuvue Oasys contacts for $25.99 each so my total came to $208. I also got a $50 mail-in-rebate coupon, so essentially I paid less than $160 for 8 boxes of Acuvue Oasys contacts which is even cheaper than clearly contacts with the volume discount and coupons.

I can also claim $200 back from my insurance so essentially my insurance is paying me $40 to get these contacts. LOL.

[bionicsamm]

This is a code for Clearly Contacts; $40 off $300 "INSDLRS".

Enjoy!

[Jacka]

- planning to purchase Acuvue Oasis, anyone know where for pricematch?

- I was reading on the forum about 4 sample on prescription glasses - to see which one fit, but can't find the information on their website, anyone know how the same work?

thanks!

I've been tracking this thread for a long time, and now need new contacts in the worst way, as fast as possible.

I'm going away for a few days on Monday, need some lenses but my prescription is out-of-date with my optometrist (I am fairly sure it has not changed) and I can't get an appointment until it will be too late.

1) What's the fastest, reasonably inexpensive way to get some contacts, and
2) Will I need a current prescription from my optometrist ? All I have are the old tops from my last pair of lenses.

Take it to any Walmart and they will get you a trial pair. Just ask them what is new and can you try it before you purchase it. 99% of the time they will give you a pair. That should get you thru your vacation.

Thanks, I will try that. My only problem is my prescription is very strong (-11 in one eye). Unfortunately, my own optometrist didn't have any trial pairs in my prescription, and said it would be 2 business days before she could get any - again, too late. I'm hoping that WalMart *might* stock a lot more than my optometrist. Otherwise I'm looking at 3 days at a waterpark in Niagara Falls with old, itchy contacts.

Hmm... given my proximity next week to NY, I wonder whether I could get a US company to ship me something to Niagara Falls NY ? I am already planning a trip across the border to pick up a package I am having delivered to a holding service there.

[dealhunting]

Just got off the phone with Coastal about a price match with Vision Direct. Not only did the CSR agree to the price match, she told me that she would have a look at their usual competators and see if she could give me an even better price. Calls back 10 minutes later to tell me that she got me an additional $60 off the origional PM with Vision Direct.

Clearly.ca = 444.28
Diff = $151.16
10% = $15.11
TOTAL = $278.01
Adj By: $166.27

She told me to call her direct and leave a message if I needed anything else. Nicole @ Coastal Contacts extension 222. Happy Shopping.

[t3359]

Anyone know of any additional rebates on the Acuvue Oasys? Saw the $50 (and $75?) rebates from December - wondering if they're still around...

thanks...

[freebies_r_us]

ok....i've been reading through many pages of this thread and have gotten more confused as to how to get the best deal....

i'm looking to buy 8 boxes of Acuvue 2's so that i can take advantage of the volume discount and free shipping.....vision direct is by far the cheapest, especially with the 15% additional savings as a first time customer.

so is it better to call coastal contacts to PM?

i'm asumming that both coasta contacts and vision direct charge $USD so after currency conversion, it's not as great of a deal but still waaaay cheaper than clearly contacts?

thanks in advance for any help.

I just bought two boxes of Acuvue Oasys for Astigmatism
I think it was 56 a box

Used the TELUSPERKS code and it took off 20 some bucks.
After all the handling feeds and what not it was

107$ shipped via FEDEX overnight

Pretty happy..thanks!

[E-Dealer]

It seems that if your a new customer wouldn't Vision Direct be the best? They offer you 15% off plus free shipping on orders over $99.

If you go through ClearlyContacts and PM you only get 10% off of Vision Direct's lower price.

[E-Dealer]

I've lost my prescription from like a year or 2 back... Do all these sites need you to have your precription verified???

I really don't want to pay $100 dollars for a new eye exam and prescription when I know my eyes haven't changed.

[psweitzer]

Do all these sites need you to have your precription verified???

+1...

I have dealt with clearlycontacts.ca in the past and know they do not ask for a fax or email copy of your Rx... What about Contact Lens King?

I want to pull the trigger on some Toric lenses as they are 1/2 the cost of clearlycontacts even after conversion!

Can anyone share their experience?

[E-Dealer]

Anyone!!!! How can I get passed the eye exam part. I jsut called around and an eye exam is going to run me $100! I really don't want to spend that.

[gei]

I've never had to submit a prescription to coastal/clearly contacts

[Hellfire]

I want to buy 8 boxes of Acuvue Advance for Astigmatism, costco has a $50 gift card offer coming up and they have a $50 MIR I think on Aucuve contacts. Costco seems to be the only place with the $50 MIR though :S

CLK seems like a better deal though, at $28.95 US a box.

at Costco Canada? Do you know when they has a $50 gift card offer, and whey have a $50 MIR?

[Hellfire]

at Costco Canada? Do you know when they has a $50 gift card offer, and whey have a $50 MIR?

Sorry guess it is only $40 ($20 per 4 boxes purchased). And the $50 MIR is all year. Gift card offer is from March 23 - April 5, 2009.

http://i40.tinypic.com/30sghf8.jpg

So iirc costco per box for Acuvue Advance for Astigmatism is $44.99.

$44.99 x 8 = $359.92
- $50 MIR
- $40 Gift card

Total = $269.92 which is $33.74 a box.

I guess I'll wait.

Hi. I'm getting a batch of O2 Optix and I see that Clearly Contacts has really raised their prices. Has anyone gotten contact lens from Coastal Contacts lately? What's the deal with them charging you in CDN? At equal dollar value, its about 2/3 the price at Coastal.

From what I read in the previous posts, people had been PMing Coastal with Vision Direct and getting that deal, but that was some months ago (October I think).

Alternatively, there is Costco. Does anyone know if you have to show a prescription to get some lens at Costco? My contact lens prescription is slightly different than my actual prescription (stronger to compensate for astigmatism).

[uwheelsgy]

Clearlycontacts has a new feature to try on the frames with your uploaded photo. Works really well but they don't have all the frames available to try on...seems like they're updating and adding more frames.

[Lookcho]

Anyone!!!! How can I get passed the eye exam part. I jsut called around and an eye exam is going to run me $100! I really don't want to spend that.
Nobody is asking you for prescription.
Just fill out the form and that's it.
This is how they do it.

As for Costco and prescriptions.. I've found that no where around Calgary will order/sell you contacts unless THEY do a contact lens fitting that they'll charge you for. ie. I paid $15 to get a free trial pair and fitting done at WalMart, as soon as I didn't buy my lenses through them but online they won't let me buy from them without another fitting and Costco, Superstore said same.

I get mine from clearlycontacts.ca and just Call them to place the order and get them to price match www.contactlensking.com

I just ordered mine B&L Purevision Toric, regular price from them was $136, with the VISA2009 code it was $110, price matched to Contact Lens King came out to $102..

They place a 'fake'/test order on the site they'll price match and use the total (lenses+handling+shipping to canada) then convert to Canadian Dollars as the price match.

I did the conversion using today's exchange rate and it was $106, but they said $102 so yay me! :-)

Another trick you can do... Place regular order online with them (no coupons)... Within 10 days of ordering, call and get them to do the 'Clearly Contacts 110% Price Guarantee'. You'll get 110% of the difference between what you order total was without coupons and say the total from Contact Lens King.

In my situation it would have been $98.66 if I did the 110% guarantee. but I didn't want to bother with the hassle.

[WalterQ]

Any thoughts on the best price for either Air Optix Aqua or maybe O2 Optix? (2-4 boxes likely).
Thks.

[pestilenc]

Thks.

If you have a costco card, I'd try there. They have O2 Optix for $23 and Air Optix for $41 a box (plus or minus a couple bucks, I'm not too sure of the exact price). I went today and set up an appointment. You need to bring in a prescription (or get a test there) and they do a little eye check and get you fitted with whatever you want. And you need to make an appointment ahead of time.

I have used 02 Optix for a couple of years and am trying out Air Optix now. They are much the same, are quite comfortable, although a helluva lot more money.

I just checked and Visiondirect has both those for comparable prices (although in USD and not including shipping) so Costco wins there handily.

Otherwise, I'd recommend pricematching Clearly Contacts with Vision Direct or Coastal Contacts.

[tabrisfreewill]

I have some questions about this clearlycontacts.ca site.

I added an order to cart and just curiously wanted to see what the total cost was. So I provided false contact information but gave my valid address and proceed on to the shipping page. And to my surprise, when I went to the last confirmation page, it says my order is shipped and on its way!? It's not that easy to place an order, is it? If yes, then what stops people from grabbing the order from their mailbox without paying it?

Also, on their site it says "Payment in full must be made within 15 days of date of invoice, otherwise finance charges of 18.9% will accrue from date of purchase." Who are they going to charge against? They don't even have my valid contact information.

Moreoever, what if I had entered an address somewhere in Newfoundland? They would ship it there too?

Thanks.

Yes, they ship first, ask for payment later, so you should call to cancel it if you don't want it. They email an invoice right away too. I think you have to pay within 15 days.

[tabrisfreewill]

Well, the thing is, I don't have the order number and I don't even remember what gibberish name I placed my order under. And I don't have the confirmation email cause the email address was made up.

If this is what you said, shouldn't this company going out of business real fast? What prevents anonymous people from making up all these fake orders and shipping it all over Canada?

[DG3x]

worst that can happen is you get the contacts! (like what happened to me :lol:) but I called them and their very nice and they send you a waybill through email. i ended up ordering 4 boxes of o2 optix for $125 after 15% off and taxes. Just before I found out about Costco, which i have a membership for! :mad:

They can probably look up your order by address or fake email if you call them. I imagine that they don't expect people to randomly order stuff on a lark to fake addresses and since they haven't changed their policy yet, I guess most people don't abuse it.

O2 Optix vs Air Optix Aqua?

Now have to decide. Aqua is the newer version, made of the same material so it's not clear where the advantage comes from.

They are also spec'd at 1 month replacement vs the 2 weeks Ciba now says for O2 Optix (although I've seen O2 cited as 1 month some other places).

Anyone else have experience/opinions with both?

[emlty]

Regarding Clearlycontacts.ca coupon codes:

The only codes that currently work are:

STUDENTCARE = 10% off
ENT2009CA = 15% off

The other ones listed in the first post I was not able to use, maybe someone else had luck? I had about $500 in my cart when I was checking so a minimum amount was not an issue.

Has anyone used Biofinity lenses? Am looking for opinions, I am currently wearing the Oasys and am finding them too dry for one of my eyes, I used to wear the O2 Optix until the recall as I had troubles so I lost faith in that product.

Thanks for the heads up w/ Contactlensking. I just did a PM with Clearlycontacts and saved $50! Ordered Purevision sphere and toric ... orig price was 226, after pricematch it was 170. They won't honour their coupon code on top of that though.

[rockthecasbah]

Has anyone purchased from Todayslens.com? I see it discussed as a place to price match but not really seeing people buying from there (and how it is, i.e. whether everything is fine when claiming with an insurance company).

I want to buy a brand (Proclear Torics) and it's not available on Clearly Contacts :( So I need to look for alternative websites to buy it before going to my optician (where it will cost $76 a box).

[fuc847]

i have a question regarding "Free" trial color contacts. Both acuvue and freshlook have these trial contacts, but it seems like i have to pay for eye exam and other fees to get it, is that true? i only have eyeglasses prescription, how much should i expect to pay to get these "free" contacts? if i gotta pay over $20, i might as well just buy a box online.

is there a way i can just a FREE FREE color contact just to try with any fees?

can i even a non-prescription (no correction) color trial pair for free?

any experince with good places to go to in Richmond, BC for this?

so i called to make my order on the phone instead, and the CSR put a code for me so that it gave me 10% plus free shipping. i asked her what it was and it was NEW10

Was just wondering if anyone could tell me if O2 Optix were good for dry eyes, I have pretty bad dry eyes after going on accutane..

[stryder1587]

I'm choosing between purevision toric, softlens toric and encore (vertex) toric. I prefer to go for pure or soft since Bausch and Lomb has been well reviewed while there aren't many reviews on the encore's. The problem is my base curve is 8.6 while the B&L's are either 8.7 or 8.5 and the encore one is 8.6

Does 0.1 base curve make a difference? Would it be better to go 0.1 tighter with the 8.5 or 0.1 looser with the 8.7?

There generally isn't much risk if you go to the 8.7 (it will be looser) although there is always the SLIGHT chance that it might slip around your eye more. The 8.5 will be tighter, and therefore can cut off the amount of oxygen your eye gets. The 8.5 would be more comfortable but worse for your eye. Although .1 from 8.6 to 8.5 probably isn't going to make much of a health risk.

[shoprider]

Just FYI. I posted a deal in the freebies section. Clearly Contacts is giving away free glasses to people in Edmonton tomorrow. If you're in Edmonton, get in on it before they run out of stuff.

Each company's basecurve is different. I'd spend the extra money and get fitted for the Purevisions.... just because B&L lenses get good reviews doesn't mean you'll fit in them perfectly. It's a big risk ordering contacts you've never worn before. You won't know if it fits well and you could damage your eyes.

I wear Purevisions currently and when I tried the Air Optix my eyes just would not tolerate them, even though my optometrist says they fit perfectly. Sometimes you could be sensitive to the material of the lenses too....

[mochachicka]

Was just wondering if anyone could tell me if O2 Optix were good for dry eyes, I have pretty bad dry eyes after going on accutane..

I found the O2 Optix were very over-drying at first, but eventually got used to them. You might want to go to a local optical and try out a trial pair before buying if you're overly concerned.

0.1 doesn't matter as long as it's comfortable. The climate is very important for soft contact lenses. If your city is dry, it's best to choose 0.1 more because contacts shrink when they dry up.

If the lens constantly shift away from the centre of your eye then you should go for 0.1 smaller.

I'm in London, ON for another 2 months, then Toronto for most of my life. I'm guessing more dry than it is moist?

BTW Does anybody know where to get free trials/fitting for contact lenses without any commitments? Do I need to print out coupons? My optometrist is back in Toronto, so looking for some sort of retailer or other...

Walmart. But they kind of expect you to buy from them, just like any other place that offers trial lenses. It's a $15 fitting fee.

[looneygurl]

hi, i was wondering if anyone of you have been charged at $12-13 handling fee with clearlycontacts.ca? I've been doing my reasearch here on RFD before making my first online contacts purchase and so I was shocked when I was finally ready to make my purchase, the Clearlycontacts.ca rep told me that this handling fee is included in every order and is completely different from the shipping fee. Has anyone else encountered this? I did a search for this and didn't come up with anything really regarding this. Maybe I missed it? Or was I being ripped off? I ended up just telling her that I'd call again after this and my failed attempt at PM with Vision Direct( told me Vision Direct price is higher than theirs after exchange). :confused:

[SirAlain]

i have a question regarding "Free" trial color contacts. Both acuvue and freshlook have these trial contacts, but it seems like i have to pay for eye exam and other fees to get it, is that true? i only have eyeglasses prescription, how much should i expect to pay to get these "free" contacts? if i gotta pay over $20, i might as well just buy a box online.

is there a way i can just a FREE FREE color contact just to try with any fees?

can i even a non-prescription (no correction) color trial pair for free?

any experince with good places to go to in Richmond, BC for this?

BTDT.

Trial contacts will have a "TRIAL" embedded on them, not recommended for daily wear. This is just for evaluation purposes.

Your best bet is to buy your own pair.


hi, i was wondering if anyone of you have been charged at $12-13 handling fee with clearlycontacts.ca?

WHUT? None of my trials have had "TRIAL" embedded on them. They've always been regular contacts, same thing as the retail versions. I've never tried Acuvue ones so maybe those have that, but the B&L, Proclear, and Air Optix (Ciba Vision) ones I've tried were all normal.

[stryder1587]

I dont know if this has been answered, but my problem is that one of my eyes has a cylinder of -1.00 and the axis values are 003 and 178. I called up a guy on clearly and they said those are eyeglass prescriptions since they are so accurate. In case this is a commonly encountered problem, I figured I might post and ask.

All the toric lenses being sold don't come in those cylindrical or axis values.
How should the values be rounded?

Cylinder
-1.00 --> -0.75 or -1.25.

Axis
003 --> 000 or 010
175 --> 170 or 180

hey everyone.
I'm new here, but have been reading this thread for a few days. I'm in desperate need of lenses!

I use Encore Toric lenses. My optical totally ripped me off by charging me $140 for 2 boxes. I've done a bit of research and the general consensus seems to order from clearlycontacts. <they charge around $108cad. I just found a site called todayslens.com. They sell 2 boxes for about $60. I don't know. Sounds a bit too good to be true. Has anyone ordered from them!? ORRR do Walmarts/Costco sell Toric lenses? thanks guys!

Walmart may be on par with your optical shop price. They sell all brands of Toric lenses, they will just order it for you. They probably won't have it in-store for toric lenses.

I wear toric lenses too and I found my Proclears for a lot cheaper at Todayslens too but I haven't heard of anyone ordering from them yet so I just went with the the optical shop I usually go with. Pay a lot more but eh, the brand isn't available at Clearly Contacts.

Hi guys, just want to say that today I bought 4 boxes of Air Optix AQUA from Costco for $160, I just checked on clearlycontact.ca same amount is $200.

[Anarchy]

Just a quick update for everyone.

I purchased 4 boxes (2 per eye) of Acuvue Oasys through Vision Direct. The 15% off code didn't work so I called in and they gave me the code: HA2006 which worked like a charm.

It came out to about $99 for all 4 including delivery which is an awesome deal. However, because it's an American site, after it was converted to Canadian dollars it came out to about $134 which isn't a great deal to be honest. It's still cheaper than Clearly Contacts and probably retail stores but not by a whole lot.

Not complaining but just a heads up for everyone.

[raniosman]

Hi everyone,

I've spent the last 3 days going over this thread and the sites listed trying to find a better deal.

I plan on getting 8 boxes of Freshlook Color Contacts

Clearly Contacts: $360.28CDN (total w/ free shipping)
with ENT2009CA (15%) total is: $308.81CDN

Coastal Contacts: $313.92CDN ($241.48USD) (total w/ free shipping)
with COUPONCRAZE15 (15%) total is: $269.48CAD ($207.29USD)

Vision Direct: $322.30CDN ($247.92USD) (total w/ free shipping)
with SAVE24 ($24 off) total is: $291.10CAD ($223.92 USD)

Now this is where the confusion for me starts.

Should I just order from Coastal Contacts and use that code?
or Should I order from Clearly Contacts and PM with the original Coastal Contacts price? (since they don't take the coupon + PM together)
(How does Price Matching work exactly?)

- Also, I'll be using my university insurance ($80 off the final price)

Try calling up Coastal Contacts 1-800 # and tell them the situation. They are one and the same with Clearly Contacts. They will tell you the best deal and how they want the discounts applied. Is that the current exchange rate you're using? Clearly C will pricematch but yeah I don't know if they honour the coupon. It's been a while since I've poured over this thread, so I don't want to give you the wrong information. But it looks like Coastal C is the place to go.

Does Visiondirect actually go through with verifying your prescription (via fax or doctor's contact info)?? It says on the site that they will, but I've read that it's not required of Canadians to verify, only Americans as they're under law.

Just wanna check before I order so as to not have unnecessary delays in getting my shipments!

[ar45]

question:

i am planning to buy optima fw contact lenses.

i can clearly see that the picture of the box says "contains 6 lenses".

But if I am going to order, clearlycontacts will ask the quantity you want per eye. :confused:

Wondering if I can click 1 for the quantity, and will it give me 6 lenses aka, 1 box?

anyone else who ordered please let me know.

As they are selling 1 box at $21, but if 1 box contains only 1 lens.... I can do alot better elsewhere...
But if 1 box at $21 contains 6 lenses, thats such an awesome deal.

please advise. anyone.

for what it's worth, lowest price i found was lens.com for most purchase, and i just pricematch that with clearlycontacts etc.

[alextruong]

I currently use Acuvue Oasys but I don’t really like them they are getting dry really fast.

Im debating between O2 optix, o2 aqua (the new version) or the Biofinity(from cooper vision). Any advices ? The new O2 is more pricy but if it worth it I won’t mind paying extra bucks (I think its 170$ with shipping for 4 boxes).

Thanks in advance :D

I have placed an order yesterday without making any payments. Today the contacts were shipped. I never got my discount, which I entered. WTH?

Had the same problem but I called as soon as their line opened. I find it quite disturbing since there was no confirmation button. Though at the same time I got them to price match visiondirect and get 15% off.

[t10]

Blah, my total for contacts was 49.12 plus like 12 bucks shipping and stuff.
None of the codes work, since they all seem to have a minimum of $50

Does anyone know a code that doesnt have a $50 limit?

if you order from coastal contacts through ebates, you'll get extra 7% back

[ravage]

ask clearlycontacts to price match todayslens.com

Have anyone pricematched with todayslens.com before? The prices are a little better than clearlycontacts.ca .

EDIT: todayslens.com adds $20 for shipping, so I'm guessing pricematching clearlycontacts will add $20 on top of your order, which will kill the deal most likely.

ALSO, I want to know what's the lowest price you ever got on the Acuvue Oasys!

[Hellfire]

So Acuvue Advance for Astigmatism is on sale at Costco:

$44.99 a box, buy eight boxes and you get a $40 Instant rebate + $50 MIR.

$44.99 x 8 = $359.92

Less $40.00 instantly = $319.92

Less $50 MIR = $269.92

$269.92 / 8 = $33.74 a box

Has anyone got the Acuvue Advance for Astigmatism cheaper elsewhere?

Hi guys,

I'm thinking of getting Clearly Contacts to price match coastal/contactlensking w/e whichever is cheapest.

My question is though, should I stock up on contacts to lock in the cheap price? Is there any harm in stocking up say 2 years in advance? Aside from your eyesight possibly getting worse would it be better to stock up then? I also heard if your eyesight does get worse you can exchange your unused boxes for the right ones from ClearlyContacts for free?

My last prescription, I purchased a year supply, but then found that I was not wearing them as often as I had been, due to a dusty workplace.
When I was using my last box (almost 2 years from the purchase date), I found that they were getting very close to there expiry date.
Might be something to think about if you are going to "stock up".
I don't believe they will replace your contacts (for a new prescription) if the lenses are expired or close to expiry either.

Contactlensking is the cheapest I find.
But I'm not sure if it will be after price-matching and (if possible) adding on the coupon code.

If it's cheap I'll definitely get 2 years worth.
BTW, is Clearlycontacts really any cheaper if they charge a handling+insurance fee?

I did some fake orders online just to the screen where I can try out coupon codes, and yeah the handling charge is a killer.....

None of the coupon codes for clearly contacts seem to be working for me. I'm entering the code at the checkout screen, and when I click next, it shows the full price of the contact lenses. Am I doing something wrong? Has anyone recently successfully used any of the codes?

[WiseWolf]

call or email them to enter the code after you place the order. The new price will show up in a few hours or less. Just click on the "pay my invoice" link.

TELLAFRIEND(20%, new orders) and TAXI(15%) work fine. You can see most coupon codes in RFD coupon section.

$16.27/box all in in't bad, no rebates, overnight shipping. Ordered Tuesday and recieved Friday. My contacts expire in 2014.

If I were to do anything differently I would PM with the US site coastal contacts, they may have cheaper prices than visiondirect!

How many lenses come in each box?

I'm thinking of switching to monthly contacts for the summer months because i'm tired of switching my prescription sunglasses with my actual glasses everytime i go indoors/outdoors.

6 lenses/box for the advance. 1 years supply is 4 boxes each eye (8 total). the number of boxes will depend on whether you use monthly/daily/weekly lenses.

hi all
long time reader and first time poster here

i just want to confirm the best solution to getting acuvue oasis contacts for 1 year

call clearlycontacts and price match visions direct and use the CANUCKS (20% off) or ENT2009CA (15% off) coupon code (whichever they take)

is the above the best solution please let me know. I have tried reading the whole thread but im not sure.

[3weddings]

I am becoming VERY annoyed with them. I ordered 2 pairs of glasses on April 28, received one set within 15 days and they said they'd ship me (no charge to me) to sunglasses I ordered within 10 days after that. As of today June 15th, I still have NO glasses. I am getting daily calls from them requesting payment, and today I received an email from their collection agency requesting payment.

I have time and time again been told not to pay for the 2 pairs until I get the second one and am satisfied with them. I was already irked by the slow shipping of the sunglasses and now this....:mad::mad:

$16.27/box all in in't bad, no rebates, overnight shipping. Ordered Tuesday and recieved Friday. My contacts expire in 2014.


Can you break down how this works? I'm basically buying the same thing as you are but I can't figure out how you got it so low.

VisionDirect price = 20.74 USD (volume discount and MIR, do they count MIR when PMing?)
ClearlyContacts price = 34.89 CAD (volume discount)

110% difference = 15.57 (assuming FX = 1.0)

34.89-15.57=19.32/box * 0.85 (15% off coupon) = 16.42/box

They didn't give you FX=1.0, so how did you get it lower? Did I miss something?

Thanks

EDIT: Sorry I just realized I put in the numbers for Acuvue Oasys, not Advance like you did. But if you don't mind, could you still explain the numbers?

[amdbob9999]

I updated the coupons!
Please note that this is the contact lens thread.

when i called in to clearlycontacts yesterday they said the CANUCKS coupon expired May30th 2009. so no more 20% off, now its only 15% off with ENT2009CA or VISA2009CA

[Ticco]

Well - I just placed an order for some Acuvue Oasys for Astigmastim.

After PM with Vision Direct and using the ENT code for 15%, I reduced my cost from $259 to $165 - not a bad discout.

However, does anybody know if $165 is a good price for 4 boxes (six month supply - 2 boxes each eye) of bi-weekly lenses?

[goodzyk]

:mad:just a heads up to those that are looking to order from Vision Direct out of the US- their pricing is very good but you get what you pay for...ordered 4 boxes of contact lens over 2 weeks ago - no sign of them, no tracking # can be supplied, no investigation until 30 days after shipping date...poor service compared to other online sellers. recommend you order at least 2 months before you need them !!

[canehdianman]

I've ordered contacts from them three times. Each time they arrive in two business days.

[goodzyk]

well maybe just my luck - have ordered thru clearly contacts couple of times and all well - have bought a bunch of US ebay items and none have been over 2 weeks shipping from the states- if only they would provide tracking numbers so one could determine status...as daughter needs them by Friday have had to go to Clearly and do the overnight order now so we will have something Wed. one way or another..

[locapoca]

Three new coupon codes for ClearlyContacts.ca during the month of July 2009:

************JULY10
10% Off + Free Shipping on orders over $99

************EXCLUSIVE
14 Off + Free Shipping on order over $115

************JULYNEW
16% off on orders over $99

There is also a Canada Day sale listed as for the week on the site, although I just ordered some contacts through their site and the price was the same before the sale as it is now...

Ok, it seems I am not able to post the coupon codes here without it being starred out. Am I missing something here? Ok, well the coupon codes are what is shown but in place of the stars: "SMART CANUCKS" but without the space between "SMART" and "CANUCKS"

[1_black_civic]

None of the coupons for ClearlyContacts.ca are working anymore. They may have expired July 1st?

[a_y3n]

hey,
i haven't used the codes yet, but Code: STUDENTCARE - 10% off should work because i got it from my health insurance site.

[sully]

Wow, VisionDirect.com was a lot cheaper than ClearlyContacts.ca for ordering 2 boxes of Acuvue Oasys lenses. Used the NEWVISION15 coupon code and it ended up costing me $60 less than the next closest price.

I guess there's being aggressive with their promos to gain new customers. Worked on me!

[pancakeg]

The code using SMART CANUCKSJULYNEW does work (remove space). I had to call customer service though and get them to apply it to my order.

I ordered 2 boxes of Bioinfinity lenses, originally $125.77 (with all taxes, fees, and shipping), and my discount brought it down to $108.21.

Not bad, considering my optometrist charges me like $275 for the exact same lenses.

[mrche]

Thanks for the great post OP

I called Clearly contact to Price Match Vision direct as follow

8 boxes of Acuvue Advance
Vision Direct Price
$19.99 per box
$12 volume discount
15% off using coupon code : 15NEW
Total = 125.75 or 15.72 per box

Called Clearly Contact with vision direct pricing
The CSR converted vision direct price to CDN using exchange rate of 1.12
CDN Price = 125.75 * 1.12 = 140.84
He did the 110% price match. $140.84 - ($36.89 * 8 - $140.84 * 10%)
Final total = $123.79 with free shipping.

I hope the order will go through. The CSR said they have to submit the pricing to their accounting department to process before actual payment and I have to wait one or two days for that...

[bembem]

Called in and got a super friendly rep in vancouver.

Pm'ed the price to $120 instead of the normal $240. Amazing.

Ps: if they ever outsource the call center, I will stop ordering!

[fuc847]

For those who's claimed these expenses with an insurance company, what exactly do i need to print as a receipt? I know insurance companies always want the original, and i'm a little confused because the confirmation emails I got from vision direct only mentions WHO it is shipping to, not who the prescription is for.

[deenpOr]

GREAT!!!!

I just bought some color contact lenses through clearlycontacts.com. The promo code 'ENT2009CA' didn't work for me since the subtotal needed to be $99. However, I have pricematched :D It went from $86.73 to $60.67! Here's the email from the CSR:

As per your request, I have worked out the Price Match to Vision Direct.com, the breakdown is as follows below.
Unfortunately, your order is not eligible for the coupon code ENT2009CA for 15% off due to a minimum subtotal of $99 is required.

Clearly Contacts $86.73 CAD
Vision Direct $56.97 USD
Current XE Rate 1.10651
Coastal Contacts $63.04 CAD
Difference $23.69 CAD
Price Match Value $2.37 CAD
Total Difference $26.06 CAD
Adjusted Total $60.67 CAD

Coupon Amount $0.00
Total Adjusted $26.06
Total Cost $60.67

[deenpOr]

Ordered them on July 21, and got them today :D They also came with a free pair of sunglasses and contact lense case. Super satisfied. Way better than 1800contacts. It took them more than 3 weeks to send me them when I ordered. They claimed it was because of customs. Thanks clearlycontacts!

[1_black_civic]

For those of you who have successfully price matched AND applied the coupon code, in which order did you apply the two discounts?

I ordered my lenses from clearlycontacts.ca as is (no coupons, no pricematching). I waited until they arrived and then called in to pricematch with visiondirect. However, at this point they do not let you apply a coupon code on top. Is there any way to get the coupon added at this point or did I make an error in the way I applied the discounts?

Thanks

loving this thread. with the exchange rate as is, coastal contacts looks to be a great place to use to pricematch clearlycontacts.

the thing is, acuvue oasys has a $100 off for first time orders. does that mean what I think it means?! that's so many things to apply one on top of the other.

Step 1: Call to recieve the price match. You will have to wait a day or two to recieve your updated email with the price matched cost.

Step 2: Reply to that email (or call) requesting that they apply the coupon code "ENT2009CA"

They will send you the updated price to pay.

Has anyone heard of GEO lenses or Circle lenses? Apparently, they're really popular in Asia and the colour contacts actually make your pupils look bigger.

I was invited to this facebook group by my friend:

$25 for a pair of colour contacts that last for a year doesn't seem like a bad deal and right now, they have buy 1 get 1 50% off. I'm leaning towards a pair of the brown 'Nudy series'. Any thoughts?

[minkeymink]

[EmperorOfCanada]

What exactly are you people buying to price match and save $100+?

In any case Im just not so sure what to get.. I want contacts that will last a year or so, which kinda narrows down my options I guess. Also a coloured lens would be nice, though slightly less so since I cant exactly know what it will look like until I get it.

Suggestions?

Thanks OP and everyone else :)

[a_y3n]

I actually just purchased a pair a few weeks ago, but since they were bigger than regular lens - I found them not very comfortable. I got the GEO World Green - these don't look natural at all. Just my input, others I know have no problem with these, but just remember that you should only wear these contacts a few times a week.

I believe this one is the more popular site to get these lens if you'd like to try them out:

circle lens are not the most comfortable contact lenses. lol.

but right now "pink colour" is having a sale right now, pick up at pmall and the lenses are $20. i think it's only for the geo series.

Aah guys its time to buy some new contact lenses. I wear acuvue oasys, however lately whenever I put them in my eye I can literally feel them in there.. when I close my eyes and move my eyes around I can feel them. I really do not want to go to my optometrist and spend $50 on a new fitting. What should I do? Thing about my lens is I think they might have tiny tiny tears so I haven't put them on for a while. I had no problem with the oasys before

Otherwise, what about buying a new pair? (has your size or prescription changed?)

I assume not, its just uncomfortable lens are horribly annoying; and to get these cheap I would have to buy like 6 months worth. I don't wanna buy that many and have them be a pain.

First time buyer. Alright so after reading couple of pages back I realized most of you guys were pricematching between clearly contacts and vision direct. My question is if i wanna buy a one year supply, how many boxes do i need if i wear them on a regular basics. Also do i just call the customer service number and tell i wanna a price adjustment? Thanks in advance.

If you use the monthly ones, you should get 4 boxes. 2 boxes for each eye. So you will have 12 pairs. Assuming you change your contacts every month. That's what I do.

I used todayslens.com to price match with clearlycontacts. btw, I ordered them, had them shipped to me and then emailed them to price match. You don't necessarily need to call them ahead of time or even call them. They are usually very prompt with email messages. (less than 15 hours to reply.)

I've ordered from clearly two times and the shipping is fast. On average, it took 2 business days to get to my door.

I'm thinking of picking up 8 boxes of Oasys (I'm coming from Advance), but the BC in Advance was 8.7. Oasys' BC closest to 8.7 would be 8.8, just wondering if it's a huge different or does it matter too much at all?

And are there any rebates atm for Acuvue Oasys? I see one on Vision Direct, does it only apply to Americans?

The discounts I see for Oasys are for US only :( As for the BC, I don't think it matters b/c I went from Soflens 38 w/ a BC of 8.7 to 8.4 with Acuvue, and I got clearance from my optometrist.

How does Advance compare to Oasys? If it's similar, then I'll buy Advance instead b/c it's much cheaper

if I have a prescription for eyeglasses, do I need a separate one for contact lens?

[loonieryan]

if I have a prescription for eyeglasses, do I need a separate one for contact lens?

Usually not, but sometimes the contact lens prescription may be 0.25 power stronger depending really on how bad your prescription is to begin with.

[passthatversace]

if I have a prescription for eyeglasses, do I need a separate one for contact lens?

I don't know if it's because my optometrist wanted to scare me away from purchasing online, but she told me that the prescription she gave me was for glasses ONLY and that a seperate one is required for contact lenses, since you wear the lenses directly on your eyeball and thus don't need as strong as a power.

[Mgz]

if I have a prescription for eyeglasses, do I need a separate one for contact lens?

+1 on this one, curious about that too.

for my regular prescription eyeglasses I have -0.75 Cyl but buying online doesn't have that one, only the sphere one, hmm


btw have you seen any asian male with color contacts ? one 1/4 asian girl had that (but she looks like 3/4 asian) and she looks gorgeous. I want to try something fun too but not sure if that will look ok on asian male or not :-/

[litebrite]

you really should get fitted for contacts. you need to know the base curve and diameter and only an eyecare professional would be able to measure those for you. if you wear ill fitting lenses that could really screw up your eyes. corneal neovascularization - where blood vessels grow into your cornea causing a loss of vision could be one result. not fun! i've been there. :|

[evoviii]

That's why I got my prescription to include base curve.

If I didn't mention buying online, my optometrist wouldn't have put it on the back of the paper.

[_RFDealt_]

One way around this is to go to the optometrist and ask for a trial pair of contacts (pretending that you'd be up for buying a year's worth if you like them). Then, when you get the trial pair, all your information should be on the package for the contacts. That's how I got my oasys numbers, they did the measurements for free.

They were the optometrist that I purchased my glasses from though. I don't know the success rate of going into an unknown eyeglass store.

[smrt123]

Has anyone had any luck lately with pricematching and applying a coupon code at the same time?

I bought my contacts from ClearlyContacts a few weeks ago. With the strong dollar, I was able to pricematch the Vision Direct price (Clearly's PM policy is to match their sister CoastalContacts site, or beat the VisionDirect competitor's price by 10%. The VisionDirect PM worked out to be the cheapest option). The lady I was dealing with said I couldn't use the 15% off coupon with the pricematch, but offered the 10% discount as I was a new user.

I've heard other people say they've had some success placing the order on the phone, then applying a coupon code on electronic checkout, though they may have changed their process to prevent this from happening (it didn't work for me).

I just used "tellafriend" tonight for 20% off a pair of glasses (frame + thin lenses) on Clearly Contacts (but also applied on Coastal Contacts as I was fiddling around between the U.S. and Canadian sites). The code worked directly on the online order form; didn't have to call in.

Coastal Contacts has a few $6.95 frames selection right now.

Sorry but I didnt read too much into this thread. just skimmed it. But what are the best monthly disposable conact lenses right now?

I know the Acuvues are bi-weekly disposable, and are very good. But I'm looking for something that will last a bit longer and I'd have to change less often, while still being of high quality.

I heard of the I think I Pro-clears are good and another one (cant remember the name either) are nice.

I'm new to contacts. Any suggestions? Comfort, longevity, length of wear (8 hrs+/day) and price are also important.

Im supposed to be going to Costco OR Wal-Mart soon (thats another question), dont know which place is better yet to see the eye doc, so I'm doing all my research from now. :cheesygri

Thanks,

[crymsonian]

^^I've liked Bausch&Lomb Purevision the best. The advertising says they can be worn upto 30 days straight but my optometrist says no more than 6 days max and he'd personally wear them no more than 3 days in a row if necessary. I take them off daily but have worn them for upto 4 days and they have never dried.

Anyways, off to the topic...I recently ordered a years supply of the Purevision Toric lenses from coastalconatcs(about $20 cheaper when exchange rates, discounts, shipping is factored in compared to clearlycontacts and $100 cheaper than retail) but they have yet to arrive. It's been 2 weeks and have received 2 order tracker emails about the delay. How long does it usually take to receive orders on items not in stock?

Definitely Costco! Not only are they cheaper, but they do their contact lens fitting for free every time!

I have worn quite a few different types...from monthly to dailies and recently to the accuvue biweekly lenses. I LOVE the accuvue bi-weekly ones! They are by far, the most comfortable lens I've ever worn. I usually forget I even have them in and go to sleep with them in!

I wasn't a fan of dailies. Which I think is strange since I had thought they were supposed to be the most comfortable? My eyes always felt so dry with them in.

Agree 100% - currently i'm wearing Biofinity an extended wear lens which I find much better than Night & Day or Purevision. Occasionally I will put in a Focus Daily pair and if I even doze off for 1/2hr with them in they are so dry I can barely open my eyes!!

Thanks for the reply.

Ive heard Costco is more cheaper and better as well, but wasnt too sure. I have checked Walmart already and their fitting is $15. Is Costco also cheaper in terms of the actual eye exam visit? Wal-Mart was $60 just for the visit and $90 for the visit/prescription.

[iwins]

Does anyone know how often clearly contacts restocks frames? Or when new styles arrive? Thanks!

I don't think there's a pattern. There may be frames that when they are gone, they are gone.

I didn't know that Costco does contact lens fitting or has optometrists. When i went to the optical store in Etobicoke, they said they only fill prescriptions or make your eyeglasses after you already have a prescription.

At Costco a visit+prescription = $75 at location in Markham, but this may differ at different locations.

I just did a pricematch w/ Clearly Contacts over the phone for the Optix Air Night & Day.

Vision Direct:
$42.49USD

Clearly Contacts:
$83.68CAD

Pricematch Price:
$42.00CAD after currency exchange and 10% of the difference off.

HOT! :razz:


Hey, I just purchased this product at Costco for the price of $41.99 a box.
The only cheaper price I've seen online is at CoastalContacts.com, has anyone been able to make purchases at this site, paying the low prices they offer?

[passthatversace]

I bought my contacts from ClearlyContacts a few weeks ago. With the strong dollar, I was able to pricematch the Vision Direct price (Clearly's PM policy is to match their sister CoastalContacts site, or beat the VisionDirect competitor's price by 10%. The VisionDirect PM worked out to be the cheapest option). The lady I was dealing with said I couldn't use the 15% off coupon with the pricematch, but offered the 10% discount as I was a new user.

I've heard other people say they've had some success placing the order on the phone, then applying a coupon code on electronic checkout, though they may have changed their process to prevent this from happening (it didn't work for me).

Thanks for the heads up. I was able to apply both a price match plus a 15% coupon code on my last order, which was roughly 2 months ago (did PM first, then took additional 15% off). When I placed another order just a few days ago, the same sales rep that processed my order last time stated that they have to first apply the coupon code, and THEN do a pricematch. What's in it for me? My price match savings is now going to be even LESS since there is a smaller difference between the base Clearly Contact price and the competitor's price.

I wonder who they're trying to fool with that one...

[kala]

Off topic: I recently bought a new pair for ClearlyContacts (actually got it for free during their promo :D), but I would still like to use my old frame. My power has changed since, so I need new lenses. Sooooo, does anyone know where I can replace my lenses for cheap?

[asia_le]

15% off Clearlycontacts coupon code:
178VISA824

can anyone confirm if the coupon code above still works? thanks.

[sandviper]

Thanks for the heads up but which one in Markham?
Woodbine and yorktech or Markham RD and KIRKHAM location?
Anyone know if the Elgin and 404 location has visit+prescription = $75 ?

[ahTin1257]

hm~ i tried both coastal and clearly..
strangely the difference is so big..

i'm planning to buy 8 boxes of Acuvue Oasys~
from clearlycontacts.. it sums up to Total: $251.28 , with $20 bucks discount already...

while in coastal......
$153.66 USD for the exact same thing..
well after paypal conversion~ its around $165 CAD..

so there's a $90 bucks difference?
who the hell still buy from clearly? =.="

[onehaehyuk]

I have a question for people with astigmatism. I currently use Acuvue Advance and Acuvue Advance for Astigmatism, however, I want to switch to dailies since I'm not wearing my contacts as frequently as I used to. However, I noticed that ClearlyContacts, CoastalContacts, and Vision Direct all only sell Acuvue 1-days and not the 1-days for Astigmatism. I was wondering, what would you guys suggest for dealing with this? Should I just stick with Acuvue Advance for Astigmatism because it's what I've been using? I noticed that CIBA Vision sells Focus Dailies for Astigmatism, what are people's thoughts on that? If I bought those, would I have to switch to focus for my non-astigmatism eye? Just wondering if anyone is in a similar situation. If not, I might need to make an appointment with an optometrist

Costco at Kirkham location. I was able to get a refund for my eye examination last year from my insurance.

Focus dailies are terrible! You should try acuvue one day - they are MUCH better!

[Aritzia]

Focus dailies are terrible! You should try acuvue one day - they are MUCH better!

I love Acuvue Moist Daily and I have been wearing them for years now. I just bought 8 boxes from clearly contacts (and price matched) and paid $168. I got a really good deal in my opinion...

Just wondering if anyone is in a similar situation. If not, I might need to make an appointment with an optometrist

I am in a similar situation. This is very simple. There are different degrees of Astigmatism. With very light astigmatism, you will not see perfect with contact lenses even if the lenses are designed for the exact prescription you have. Yet, you will see better than with no lenses or glasses. With heavy astigmatism, contact lenses that are not designed for astigmatism will not improve your vision enough, so you have to buy lenses for astigmatism, which, obviously cost more.
In my case, I am just on the border between the two levels of astigmatism. I wear regular lenses and I can see 20/20 but not 100% clear on the last line the optometrist will show.
You will not be able to figure out whether you can wear non-astigmatism lenses without an optometrist. I would NOT recommend experimenting on your own, especially wearing different lenses in different eyes.

[mikalh78]

Where would be the best place to get these: Extreme H2O 54% 13.6? My diameter is smaller than the ones I've seen which were 14ish.

[stormsong]

I've always ordered my contacts from walmart but I was at costco yesterday (richmond BC) planning to get some acuvue oasys (28.xx, lot cheaper than walmart 34.xx) but they wont let me order w/o my prescription, they said eye exam is $70 and then they do free fitting

is fitting that important? I dont know where my prescription is and I've been wearing the same contacts for 2 yrs +

would walmart pm costco? lol, or my best bet is just order from clearly contacts with pm

Fitting helps if you are using new lenses you have not worn before. If you have an eye exam done, why not call your optometrist who did your exam and ask nicely to print a copy of your prescription? They have it on file, no doubt.

[bambino]

is clearly/coastal still doing price matches?

[jackie999]

This thread seems to have gone off topic. The RFD coupon section appears to be outdated.
Does anyone have new working codes they can share?

[granite_69]

Advice question for you guys:

With the exchange rates being pretty close, and Acuvue offering a $100 rebate to US customers. Would there be any issues with having an Amerifriend order contacts for me and mail them up here?

Special Offers!

$100 New Wearer Rebate* when you buy 8 boxes of:
• ACUVUE® OASYS™ with HYDRACLEAR® Plus

*$100 New Wearer Rebate only for new wearers of ACUVUE® OASYS™ Brand with HYDRACLEAR® Plus. Wearers of ACUVUE® OASYS™ Brand for ASTIGMATISM and ACUVUE® OASYS™ Brand for PRESBYOPIA are not eligible for this rebate.

http://www.acuvue.com/buying-rebates386-144b.htm

The $100 difference would be huge instead of price matching with Clearly contacts.
Coast contacts Acuvue Oaysis $19.89/box when you buy 8 = $160 - $100 rebate = ~$60
Clearly Contacts Acuvue Oaysis $29.99/box when you buy 8 = $240 - 1-% difference = STILLWAY MORE

i'm just not sure about any issues having my Amerifriend mail the contacts up to Canada.

[kmv37]

The rebate only applies to US residents. If you check the web site from Acuvue regarding the rebate, you will notice that the information they require you to send together with the rebate form makes is difficult for Canadian to fake. 1st they ask a copy of your prescription, the name, address & phone number of your optometrist (Canadian address, phone number ?). Even if they buy in to the idea that the American come to Canada to have their eye checked up, the rebate is in a credit format (similar to a gift Visa card). I find it very cumbersome.

On a side note, I was at Costco (Warden & Ellesmere) this evening. Their optical shop have a sign of mail-in rebate for various type of Acuvue till 31 Dec 2009. Acuvue Oasys is $28 / 29 per box with rebate of $50 if you buy 8 boxes. This comes out to $180 / 190 for 8 boxes. Pretty good deal

[harry420]

has anyone ordered Proclear 1 Day 90 Pack. I been using oasis but the been giving me red eye after wearing them for like 10-12 hrs.

[granite_69]

Thanks for the info kmv37. I'll check out Costco

im shopping for contact lens

should i buy from clearlycontacts or costco?

[^*^BATMAN^*^]

Just as an FYI, the code ENT2009CA is supposed to have expired at the end of November. Though it is still working on the website. I called customer service because I forgot to put it in my order, and they said because the website hasnt changed, they will still honour it. Though I dont know for how long.

Just used ENT2009CA and got 15% off.. thanks!

I just did an eye exam at Costco. They do have free contact lens fitting, but they say I need to be a member first because I'll have to buy the contacts afterwards.

I don't want to buy from Costco since I don't have a membership (and don't want to get one). I've tried the Oasys before and want to try ordering the Air Optix Aqua from Coastalcontacts/clearlycontacts now since they are much cheaper.

Does anyone know how to convert a regular prescription into the contact lens prescription for ordering online? Else, where can I can get contact lens fitting without buying the contacts after trying? I don't mind paying a small fee...

And BTW, how does Air Optix Aqua compare to Oasys? Anyone have experiences with both of them?

Go to Pacific Mall and skip that membership BS.

[cywhiz]

Go to Pacific Mall and skip that membership BS.Will I have to buy from them after trying? How much does it usually cost? I want to know where I can get a trial pair without buying from them. I've ordered glasses online but never contacts, don't really know how to get the contact lens prescription from somewhere and buy online...

[djherbal1]

$75 for just the eye exam.

...don't really know how to get the contact lens prescription from somewhere and buy online...

For my contacts, the prescription is written on the box that they come in.... its been probably ten years since i got my last trial pair, but I seem to remember them having written the prescription on the label of the vials that the trial pair came in.

[cywhiz]

For my contacts, the prescription is written on the box that they come in.... its been probably ten years since i got my last trial pair, but I seem to remember them having written the prescription on the label of the vials that the trial pair came in.But the thing is, my prescription changes every year (although very minor changes), that's why I went for a new eye exam in the first place. I still have the old boxes of contacts with the prescription on them, but they are one year old. I bought them from Costco last year when I had the membership...This year I want to try a new contacts brand (Air Optix Aqua) since they are much cheaper at Coastalcontacts ($28.99) VS Costco ($41.99)...

They will match any online store (you have to provide the website so tehy can look up the price). However they will NOT match any coupons that you use on the other page. From their "Help/Customer service page"

This year I want to try a new contacts brand (Air Optix Aqua) since they are much cheaper at Coastalcontacts ($28.99) VS Costco ($41.99)...
Before you switch to Optix Aqua, get a trial pair 1st. I too wanted to switch from Oasys to Optix Night and Day. However, after I got a trial pair for the Ciba Vision web site, my right eye was so irritated on the 1st trial day that I am now hesitated to switch (as you mentioned, I hate to pay a high price for something that my eye won't take):(

[kmv37]

how does Air Optix Aqua compare to Oasys? Anyone have experiences with both of them?

I wanted to switch from Oasys to Air Optix Night and Day (which will supposedly give the optimal oxygen my cornea needs according to the Costco optician). I have been using Oasys over a year. When I 1st started, it's really good. However, lately, I find that after wearing the lens over 10 or 12 hours, my eyes are very dry (feeling sticky to my eye lids) - that's the reason prompting me to ponder the switch. I got a coupon for a pair of trial lens from Ciba Vision web site (you need to redeem it at an optometrist which I redeemed at Costco Warden) On my 1st trial day, my right eye was so irritated that I'm hesitated to switch. I would suggest you try them 1st for at least 2 weeks before you decide which one.

On a side note, Oasys provided full UV protection but I'm not sure if Optix will or not - can't find the info at the Ciba Vision web site. If there's anyone using the Optix, can you please confirm this.

No, but I know where I'm PMing Clearly Contacts to. Thanks.

[sumguy12004]

so i guess the deal would be to find cheaper lenses on coastal and a coupon of theirs that includes free shipping, then call clearly to price match the whole thing. . am i correct ? ... by the way CRAZEEYECARE didnt work free shipping but added discount .

[cheap_guy]

I used the 15% off CRAZENEWYEAR coupon last week. Free shipping is included with orders over 99, so the 15% off is all I wanted.

If there's anyone using the Optix, can you please confirm this.I have the same feeling too, my eyes would get very tired after wearing Oasys for more than 10 hours. It also starts to get "blurry" after only a week or so. As for the trial lenses, I ended up going to other Costco location and they don't need a membership for contacts fitting.:D

So I've tried Air Optix Aqua for a month. IMO, it seems "better" than Oasys. True, Oasys is slightly more confortable, but I don't feel as tired wearing Air Optix Aqua, don't know why...

BTW, if someone's looking for Coastalcontacts codes, these ones still work. I called Clearly to PM Coastal, they matched only 100% but they do accept coupon codes from Coastal. I think the final price is around $170 for 6 boxes of Air Optix Aqua. YMMV though! Maybe I got a really nice CSR girl! :)

So I've tried Air Optix Aqua for a month. IMO, it seems "better" than Oasys. True, Oasys is slightly more confortable, but I don't feel as tired wearing Air Optix Aqua, don't know why...

Great that Air Optix works for you. Which one are you on? I tried the Air Optix Day and Night (the one that you can wear continuous for 30 days without having to take them out). Just my right eye got irritated - felt like some tiny thing got stuck inside my eye. which became unbearable for over 12 hours and my eye was red.

btw, have you checked to see if Air Optix offers UV protection? I don't seem to get a definite answer. If it is, it should say so on the box.

[sotypical]

So I buy from clearlycontacts and then call and say they are cheaper on costal?

On clearly they are 32.89 a box and on costal they are 18.89 a box... and then they will still apply a 15% discount?

I just did it. They did not use a 15% discount but they did 110% price match even though I was told they only do 100% in their own company.

Anyway two boxes went from $80 to $50.

I ordered O2 Optix for anyone wondering.

Clearlycontacts price matches to US website as well?

[Fate]

Yes.

[D-Sisive]

even after PM and coupon at clearlycontacts vs coastal contact, it was $4 difference

the CSR was nice, said all my coupon codes expired and to go google some more.....i said its ok its only $4 difference

[XxXSnake23XxX]

when u call a CSR do you pay over the phone? or do they still do the recieve now pay later thing?

[lmbrian]

has anyone tried this
http://www.redflagdeals.com/forums/rcss-eyewear-spring-contact-lens-event-855732/

for price matching?

[mcbain27]

Yahoo15 for coastal still works

only 15% off

[mcbg1]

Does clearlycontacts.ca still accept Paypal as a payment method?

[Bimmer318i]

First time in a while I've been thrilled about getting a deal.

Got 2 Boxes (may get laser soon) of PureVision Torics (They work well for me)

Phoned them up, placed order, price matched coastal contacts, got price, then asked CSR to apply Yahoo15 coupon code.

Went from about 136 to 90 all in and shipped.
That's also 55% less than what I would pay locally.

Thanks everyone and hopefully that process helps someone.

[lmbrian]

How did you get them to apply coupon after the price match?
the CSR I talked to said I can't, gotta choose either one..

Not sure, I just asked, seemed a bit confused at first but went right ahead and gave me an updated total using Yahoo15.

Maybe just a good/confused CSR.

didn't 110% price match though, just the 100% (reason given being it's their sister company)

[jk_9117]

wow i just saved over 50% on my order by pricematching coastal contacts after applying their Yahoo15 coupon! thanks so much to the contributors!

[Aggy]

Just PM'd coastal with clearly for 110% of difference.

[Fluid]

so let me get this straight...

Coastal Contacts is American, hence their prices will be cheaper...
I am under the assumption that ClearlyContacts is under Coastal.

So coastal is cheaper, which means I can pm those prices when buying from clearly? Is it just as simple as calling in and saying it's cheaper at Coastal, something just does not seem right about all this, and I bought like 12 boxes 3 years ago, haven't been to the site since..

[Keitij]

How much does 8 boxes of regular Acuvue cost @ costco?

Clearly Contacts charges $197.80. Much appreciated if someone could tell/PM me.

[Gooner]

So the prices are better on Coastal contacts but will we get dinged with duty if we order from there? (cant price match as they dont have the same product on clearly contacts).....

Thanks!

[Hartom]

no duty/tax on contacts etc

[evoviii]

Got PM'd to go but nothing else, still pretty happy as discount is nearly half given the exchange rate.

Hey,
I think 8 boxes at costco costs about that price as well.
I just purchase 8 boxes of Acuvue Oasys lens from Clearlycontacts for $163.(which works out to about $20 a box)
I pricematched CoastalContacts after using the Yahoo15 code for 15% off = $171.97 after shipping

[Aggy]

My orders from Coastal get shipped from BC.

[dbomb]

Not sure if I get this...

So I call Clearly Contacts to price match Coastal Contact for 110% and then apply any coupon listed on the first page?

Or do I apply the coupon first and then a call Clearly Contacts to get my price match? And wouldn't this just make it the same as the 110% price match?

Thanks for answering my questions.

What I did was I applied a coupon on Coastal Contact... and then called in to get them to them to do a 110% price match.... not sure what everyone else here does though =)

[worldgirl]

I've ordered from Vision Direct before and had no issues. I did live in the states at that time, though. But I'm pretty sure that they DON'T use UPS to ship to Canada (which is a good thing!) For the lenses that I wear in my right eye, they definitely have the best price. As for my left eye, that would be Costco!

so wait, you applied coupon on coastal, but how would they know what price you got it at, did your print screen or make purchase then canceled>

[batmanrob]

i searched my contacts (air optix aqua) on coastal...they were 4 boxes for $135.56. I then searched them on clearly...they were 4 boxes for $199.56. I called, and got pm'd with exchange rate to $141.84, and applied yahoo15 coupon code. The total -after everything- came out to $127.93, and they were at my office within 2 days.

Awesome deal! Thanks for the posts!

does clearly charge shipping after price matching with coastal ?

[Keitij]

For acuvue oasys,
vision direct charges $26.99 a box minus $31 (volume discount)+15% discount. $1.99 processing fee and $9.99 for shipping.
($26.99*8-$31)*.85+$9.99+$1.99=$169.16

Acuvue 2(the older acuvue) is $23 per box.

BTW, I wanted to mention that I bought 8 boxes of Acuvue Oasys at Costco at a price below of what you can find online(worked out to $28 per box after taxes). Their service is really something phenomenal, they give you free trial pair to make sure it fits, check your eyes for free, give you a little bottle of solution and even a case to take your glasses home safely.
My mail-in rebate was not approved when I submitted it, the optician at Costco personally took care of the problem to make sure I receive my rebate. Simply amazing.

I ordered contacts and got a pair of glasses listed at $199 for free. This is better than clearlycontacts free glasses if you're already planning on getting glasses since the contacts lenses prices are lower and you get free shipping!

Now to wait for them to arrive....

I've never tried the Ciba but I wear Acuvue Oasys and have had no problems with them. They stay moist for at least 8 hours. You can even sleep with them on if you forget to take them off. (in my case, gets too drunk to bother taking them off)

I wound up trying out the Oasys via a free trial. They'll do the trick!

Problem I'm having now is, I'm trying to order on Coastal Contacts using the FREEPAIR179 code, and it won't apply! I imagine this might have something to do with my left eye having Astigmatism?

I think codes that apply to Clearly Ctx sometimes (or just doesn't) apply to Coastal Ctx?

You can get a free trial of frames (with no lens) if you request it I believe!

Does anyone know how many times you can return their products?

I received one order 4 weeks ago. The glasses didn't fit properly so I returned them. I ordered another pair which arrived yesterday. I tried them on and they look awful on me despite using their web photo up loader thingy to see what they would look like on.

I don't want to keep returning glasses but I also don't want to pay for something I probably will never wear.

Thanks in advance.

[aiyiyi]

Did you get them through the free glasses event? If so, you are only allowed once exchange.

If you actually paid for them I am sure it's more than that. Call and ask, they are very friendly and helpful! I think it's the best customer service I've had in a loooong time...which is funny, since it's the one company that wasn't getting much of my money!

I exchanged my $68 kate spade glasses for $198 chanel ones. The best part is I got the new replacement glasses less than 48 hours later, before I had even sent the other ones back!

Hi.

Thanks for the reply. No they were not free. I purchased them (have not paid for them yet) but honestly they are ugly on me. I want to purchase another pair but didn't know how many times I could return before they got fed up with me.

Thanks, I'll call them.

[709394]

Anyone have any experience with the Air Optix Aquas? I'm a first time user of contact lenses, been wearing my glasses for my whole life and I wanna try something new in the monthly ones.

[bargainhuntercanada]

Just put in another clearlycontacts order for my purevision torics. This is the price breakdown for 4 boxes on clearlycontacts.ca and coastalcontacts.com

Clearly: 59.89/box = $239.56
Coastal:36.89/box = $147.56

I order contacts every couple of years, and I always forget how I end up getting them for cheaper!

So here's what I did:

1. Called Coastal Contacts
2. They placed my order on Clearly Contacts, PM'ing Coastal's price. (Saying they can't put in Cdn orders on the US site, but they can create an order for me on the Cdn)
3. I asked them to apply the "code of the day" (in this case, the $5 off coupon and free shipping offer on Coastal's website -- see * below for more info on this)
4. They convert it to CAD from USD (don't know what xchange rate they use though).

Total: $152.99 CAD ($38.24/box)

5. A receipt will be sent to my email, showing the non-converted price.
6. My invoice will be sent with the contacts, showing the non-converted price.
7. They will adjust/PM the total internally, and another email is supposed to be sent after this has been done.
8. THEN I pay the correct, price-matched total. In order to PM, they will not take immediate payment, rather, they go through this convoluted way of PM'ing. Fine by me!


* once they PM'ed, they tacked on the shipping and no code and it was a lot more expensive (another $12+ dollars, I forget). I pointed out that there was free shipping on all orders over $129 anyways. But they agreed to apply the Coastal code of $5 off & Free shipping THEN pricematched from there, so I'm not sure which method ensured the free shipping I got. In the past, I've heard PM'ing and coupon codes don't get applied together. Perhaps I got a bit lucky this time.

I believe the VISAVISION code would've gotten me 10% off (if it still works) but I didn't want to push my luck. I think $38.xx/box is a pretty good deal as it is, with the CAD being not too bad. My last order in 2008, I paid $45/box.

Good luck!

PS: I've only ever ordered from Clearly/Coastal so I didn't want to chance the slight possible savings by going with Vision Direct. Clearly/Coastal are located about 3mi/5km from my house, so I know they're a legit company with great customer service. They haven't failed me yet.

PPS: My coworker told me today she orders her's right off the Coastal website, and pays for it in US. I created a ghost cart for a similar order to mine, and the "coupon of the day" that was $5 off AND Free Shipping only discounted me the $5 but not the shipping. I guess I don't live in the States! So the 10.95 shipping was added, and the ubiquitous Handling charge of $10.26 (BTW, there was a Handling charge of $13.xx in my CAD order off Clearly), so my total came up to $163.77, and that was BEFORE the exchange rate.

Moral: pays to call Customer Service and get them to handle the sale. You can always decline if you don't agree with the price.

[aerith_lnq]

What is everyone's experience with shipping times from Vision Direct? The website says 5-10 days, so I called the customer service and the rep said it might take up to 30 days. He recommended maybe calling customs to see if it was trapped there.

Anybody else have this problem? Any suggestions for next steps?

I tried to use this coupon code when I called Clearly to make an order (after PMing Coastal) and the guy said it didn't work and that I have to use a Coastal coupon code and not a Clearly one. That doesn't seem to be the case with other people who have ordered here, is it BS?

no, the only way to use a coupon code while pricematching is to apply a code to COSTALCONTACTS total, and then CLEARLYCONTACTS pricematches that and beats it by 10%

in my case, the girl at CLEARLYCONTACTS who did my pricematch applied a coupon code for me to COSTALCONTACTS price.

my deal:

8 boxes of 02 optix @ $16.89 USD

=$135.12
+$19.95 shipping (i already got free shipping from clearly)
-$16.21 discount (SAVEWITHCOASTAL i would guess)
+$9.39 insurance
=$148.25 USD

converted to CDN
=$153.91

matched at 110%
=$138.52

i ended up getting a refund of $88.21 on an original order of $230.88

which comes to a grand total of $142.67 CDN (give or take a few dollars from my breakdown for conversion rates etc.)

it would probably have been cheaper to start with a pricematch and go with regular shipping than to get the price adjusted after the fact like i did

but 8 boxes of O2 optix @ $17.83 including next day shipping (literally were in my mailbox the day after i ordered)
i'm not complaining :D

plus i wear my contacts for 2 months straight so thats like $40 a year for contacts hahaha

[boykee]

^Thanks. What exactly does the SAVEWITHCOASTAL coupon do?

How much does it take off and does it give free shipping?

I was gonna order Air Optix. I changed to it when it was released, used to use O2 Optix like you. The price of O2 Optix sure makes it appealing though.

for current COASTAL codes

i got the optometrist to order me a sample pair of Air Optix but i couldnt sleep even 3 nights in them, they are thicker than O2 optix and i think the "wetting agent" irritated my eyes. i can wear O2 Optix for a month straight no problems, and for the last 3 years i wore my O2's for a month, then cleaned them thoroughly then wore them for another half a month to a month until they werent comfortable anymore

[boykee]

Thanks for the link.

Wow! I never did that with my O2/Aquas ever.. I always used them as daily lenses (take them out at night).

[dodokid]

can we PM with coastal contacts and then apply a clearly contacts coupon code?

[boykee]

^I tried that when I called to order and they told me no..

It has to be a coastal code.

[dodokid]

oh.. i guess we have to make orders over $129 to get the free shipping if we plan to PM? since there is coupon codes for clearly contacts that offer free shipping and 10% without a min. purchase (ie. VISAVISION)

[pancakeg]

^Thanks. What exactly does the SAVEWITHCOASTAL coupon do?

I just placed an order using the SAVEWITHCOASTAL code. It gives you 12% off your order with no minimum purchase required. It does not give you free shipping.

[boykee]

UPROMISEJULY gives you 15% off your order.

[HunterGrey]

I have a coupon for free glasses from Clearly Contacts I've no use for.

Would anyone like to trade something for it? I could meet up anywhere in the GVRD area to verify. I'd just like it to go to good use.

PM me. :)

Hi, I am planning to buy 8 boxes of the Acuvue Oasys from Vision Direct with the 20% off. I was wondering if I will encounter any duties if they are shipping to Canada. If there is, anyone know the approximate price.

I did this recently within the last month. I price matched with coastal contacts (prices were comparable to Visiondirect). Applied a coupon code to Coastal (20% off). Clearly contacts matched and beat by 10%. They did not seem to take into account the USD conversion. I think the CSR allowed me to apply a clearlycontacts coupon ontop of that.

All in all, shipped to door: 8 boxes Acuvue Oasys + Free ship - $143.38

With the $75 rebate from Acuvue, contacts become dirt cheap!

http://www.acuvue.com/buying-rebates.htm

[plausipo]

http://www.acuvue.com/buying-rebates.htm

"Offer valid for U.S. residents only."

[DaveGoodmen]

Just for anyone wondering about the rebate. There is a Canada one (i got the flyer from Wal Mart), but in the rebate terms & Conditions it state that "purchases made at Costco or through online retailers are not eligible for these offers."
Anyone looking for more information call 1-800-434-8506

P.S. If anyone want to know what I did. I call Clearlycontact to get them to price match 12 bxoes (6L and 6R) from visiondirect for a grand total of $236.99.

If I order 8 boxes from Wal Mart it is $270, for 195. I rather pay the extra $40 to get 4 more boxes and less work on the rebate.

[marvro]

Did anyone had a good or bad experience with todayslens.ca ?
I lost my ray ban sunglasses and they have a good price but i'm not finding enough information about this company to be sure that it's not a scam.
Thank you very much!

Avoid todayslens.ca!! I ordered Oakley sunglasses and I still haven't received them and it's been almost 1 month. Before I ordered I phoned them to see if Oakleys I wanted were in stock and they said yes.

I placed an order and they eventually give you a Canada Post tracking #. When you go to track it on the Canada Post website all it shows is "An order has been electronically submitted" and that's all you get. All that proves is that they have created a waybill. It doesn't mean that anything was shipped otherwise there would be more tracking info provided.

All they do is give you the run around and BS saying every thing is fine or the first shipment got "rejected" and was sent back and they are sending it again. It's also kind of suspect that they don't have any mailing address on their website.

[marvro]

has anyone ordered off of todayslens?

Please read above.

[marvro]

Sorry to be a little off topic on this thread but I must update on my previous post about todayslens.ca.

I finally received my sunglasses in the mail today. They do eventually come through with my order although 1 month later. So they seem to be legitimate.

They do offer some the cheapest prices in Canada for name brand sunglasses but the way they handle the order leaves a little to be desired. Maybe it's a problem with their logistics. The helpdesk is courteous when you talk to them.

[Hallandale]

Thanks so much for this post!

I've ordered from clearlycontacts before, last time I bought 2 boxes at $60 each (6 month supply), and then paid shipping, so the order was ~130 total.

This time, I called in, asked to price match visiondirect. They had my contacts on for 43 dollars if you buy 4 boxes (which I was going to buy anyways), and then 20% off and free shipping for your first order.

43*4 = 172, then 20% off is 137 USD, or 140 CAD.

Their price is 60*4 = 240.

The difference is $100, so they took off an additional $10.

Total= $130 for 4 boxes (1 year supply). Basically twice as good as regular price, which is already lower than the $160 or so that my doctor charges me for 6 months supply.

I love rfd.

Thanks everyone.

Just bought 4 Oasys and 4 Oasys for astigmatism through ClearlyContacts.

PM'd Vision Direct using 20% (20NEW).

Clearly Contacts Price: $399.24CAN
VisionDirects Price: $207.94US = $217.20CAN
Difference: $182.77

110% price match: $198.92 Will be shipped FEDEX for free.

Can't beat that. Been doing this for the past 4 years. Always check this site first to get latest info. Last year paid $40 more for same thing. But prices really fluctuate (and I guess the Canadian Dollar)

Thanks!

Did a PM with ClearlyContacts using VisionDirect:
8 boxes of Acuvue Oasys
- volume discount ($31)
- 20% ("20new")
- 110% pricematch guarantee
+ free shipping

= $145 CAD. Great deal.

So you're allowed to apply a coupon code ("20new') and the 110% pricematch at the same time? May I please have the name of the rep you spoke to? I need to fill the exact same order as you (8 boxes of Oasys)

Also, isn't Vision Direct priced in USD??
thanks!

I would like to know this as well since I am ordering this week.

[yogababe]

You don't need any name, just go to Clearly Contacts website and fill out the PM info will do. I just filled out mine, as I'm planning to order mine from Vision Direct by the end of this month.

[yogababe]

Do you need to have an existing order with Clearlycontacts or just indicate the competitor's site?

Not in my case, as I hate to wait for credit back, so I rather do it this way.

I just filled out the PM form with the info from Vision Direct's site, once I get the Ticket #, I called the Customer Service to place my order. I talked to one of the CS, Julia, and she did the PM down to CA$266.38 & filled out the order for me & send me the invoice for CA$419.36. She sent the PM info & invoice to the accounting dept for price adjustment, and tell me not to pay till I see the new price on my invoice. Today, I've received the new invoice with the total of CA$266.38 to process payment. 110% or not is not an issue, but no exchange rate for your credit card is way better. HTHs!

Vision Direct: US$266.34
ClearlyContacts: CA$266.38

Good deal! Has anyone here been successful at getting a pricematch AND applying a Clearly Contacts coupon code?

[abercrombieboy]

maybe off topic, but i used to speak praises and endorse Coastal Contacts eyeglass offering, and have three of them. I looked at their website recently, and they have increased their prices significantly. The 1.74 high-index lenses are now $150 (up from $100 a year ago), and the 1.67 index is now $100 (up from $50 a year ago). Now I have to think twice about ordering eyeglasses for the novelty, and instead will buy only when needed.

[BlueLotus]

My student insurance expires today, and being a procrastinator, I just got around to purchasing my contacts. Kicking myself, because Vision was the cheapest without the price match, and I could have saved a ton by price matching and getting CND instead of in USD.

Does anyone know if the $75 New Wearer rebate that's being offered by Acuve is US only, or if Canadian customers are eligible for it?

[sumguy12004]

i have finally put an order after pm-ing vision direct .. total was $203 cad includes shipping (which wasnt free since they are pm-ing) , tax and fees .. for 4 acuvue 90pk boxes .. thanks all

http://coupons.redflagdeals.com/i.php/coupon/7111/clearlycontactsca_15-off-free-shipping/


I ended up ordering from vision direct ...I was unable to pm at clearlycontacts and use the promo code at same time.
Vision direct, using the 20NEW code, worked out to be a good price. No free shipping to us here, but shipping is 9.99 ..even with shipping they are much cheaper than clearlycontacts.

Does anyone know if the $75 New Wearer rebate that's being offered by Acuve is US only, or if Canadian customers are eligible for it?

As I was doing price match, I mentioned the $75 rebate to Clearly Contacts rep and she told me it's only for US customers :(

They get the best deals...

[jasira]

sweet!... when u were doing the PM with them they used the XE rate though?

Yes and also included in handling fee before doing the difference.

I just did price match with clearly contacts using Vision direct for Acuvue Oasys.

The rep calculated the Clearly Contacts cost and then she did Vision Direct cost (including shipping-apparently free shipping is only to US customer and Canadian customer needs to pay $9.99 and handling fee and the exchange rate). After that, she calculated the difference and then applied 110% price match guarantee.

So my total for 8 boxes of Acuvue Oasys came to be $155.87.

can someone help..

[granite_69]

I've claimed contact lenses from Clearly Contacts (price match with Coastal Contacts) with Manulife.... I'm assuming it would be similar.
I had to give manulife customer service a call to figure out what they needed though

Thanks!

The question is I think about Coastal Contacts being in the US and not providing an invoice... may need to return my glasses (just shipped) if I can't claim them in the same manner I claim my Clearly contacts purchases.

[granite_69]

:arrowu::arrowu:

Whoops, sorry... totally misread your question.

They don't give an invoice at all? not even via email to confirm your purchase?

[crukkh]

They send an email w/purchase confirmation, which doesn't even include my prescription details, so it's useless for insurance purposes.
What a weird company...

I've gotten an invoice with the full prescription, home address and cost.

[catwalk]

ended up using www.discountcontactlenses.com - I wasn't able to use any of the coupon codes for the site (I attempted at least 10 different ones, none worked or it said couldn't be used with sale items).

I tried every canadian site and they were all at least TWICE as much! They price matched, but only with each others crappy prices!

From discountcontactlenses I ended up with 2 boxes of Frequency 55 & 2 boxes of Acuvue Advanced for $68 + $10 shipping. $19.50 per box isn't bad!

I'm going to attempt (again) to get a free trial pair from a loblaws or costco to try out one of the other kinds of acuvue too until my order arrives.

I have always received a pdf invoice. Usually a few days after I have ordered.

[crukkh]

In their email, they say to keep this email as there's not going to be an invoice... that's what it says. Then they send an invoice in the box, so weird.

Anyhow, my glasses were put together by Clearly Contacts, and as usual in a most unprofessional manner. Had to send them back; initially asked to replace with a properly made pair but later decided against it and asked for a refund. Of 5-6 pairs I've ordered from Clearly Contacts, I can wear two, all the rest are defective even after they have sent me replacements.

Worst workmanship I've seen in glasses but yes, they are cheap.

[FriendlyNeighbourhut]

I just ordered my aqua optix 2 boxes for $75 at my near optical store. Now I know next time where to come. With this reading I think clearly contacts is the place to order. Am I right?

I have been buying my contact lenses from www.visionpros.ca I used "wbnew" coupon code and got another $10 off and free fedex shipping. Their prices are ridiculously lower than Clearlycontacts even with their coupon codes.

[walleye*guy]

Just PM'd Clearly Contacts to Visionpros for 6 boxes of Proclear Compatibles 8.2....
after all said and done - total to the door $158.xx

sweet

[Bookpreviews]

Vision pros turned down my price match.
I started another thread in shopping discussion.

Spoke to a guy named "Steve" and he actually told me" we can not price match on your order because we would be losing money"

not too professional to say that.

went with clearly contacts and have never had issues with price match and no stupid whining from the phone people.
I was probably even too nice to the guy from Vision Pros as I used to work at a job on the phone a lot so always try to be super nice to people...exept the bell and robbers sales telemarketers (hang up on those).

Anyone have experience w out of stock items from Clearly Contacts? that happened with Biomedics Ultraflex 55 contact lenses..hope to get them soon though.
other brand i ordered was available :)

Hopefully I have my order in a week I asked for Canada post service!

[raptorfan]

Ordered new glasses from CC, should arrive next week. Used the discount I found on the coupon tab here and saved a bundle! %30 off & free shipping! My $102 order (w/tax) came to $66! :)

EDIT: received shipped email Nov 4, rec'd Nov 5! very happy with them! came with hard case, satiny draw string case, cleaner cloth, little screwdriver. Complete invoice, I'll send to my insurance. Would definitely order again.

[mikewark]

Any new recent code working for 10 or 15 percent off?

[maritrunks]

ENTBOOK15 code for clearlycontacts.ca does NOT work any longer

[barbadosguy]

I located a coupon code "redflagdeals2010" on this forum. It still works!! I got 10% off from www.visionpros.ca

[rejtable]

Hope I'm not breaking any netiquette by bumping an older thread, but I just wanted to say thanks to the folks here for the various posts about the contact sales. I did an order last week through clearly contacts (using a PM on the sale from vision direct) and got 8 boxes of Frequency 55s shipped to my door for $110. My doctor wanted $180 for 4 boxes.

Communication with clearly contacts was top notch, I'll definitely buy again in a couple of years when my supply runs out!!

Thanks folks!

[DannymcG]

Just watching the thread.......;)

[Aggy]

Just ordered from Visions direct. $93 for year supply of Proclear Compatibles including shipping to Toronto. Used coupon "15BEST" for 15% off order. Could have PM'ed Clearly, but was lazy. ;)

[jackielzh]

Ordered from Discountcontactlenses. Used 10% off discount. EXSALE08. Got Acuvue Oasys 8 boxes for 178.79. No prescription needed. But shipping is usps. should be slow.
--------
Realized I can get a cheaper price at Vision Direct. Canceled my order at Discountcontactlenses. Now it's 159.92.

[mrjun18]

quick question,

does anyone know where i can get a contact lens case for cheap? i got the life brand one from shoppers drugmart but the solution tends to leak out very easily.


thanks,

[tonyford]

i didn't want to read through all the threads, but i just want to confirm, Clearly Contacts will price match their US site Coastal Contacts?

[mt99808]

They did for me last time ...... the CSR told me they don't normally do it but they'll do it this time. I'll have to see if it works again.

[mt99808]

I did get the price match from coastal to clearly. He even took a few more dollars off for whatever reason. 4 boxes of Biofinity Toric for $168.

[cipra]

Acuvue Advance for Astigmatism

From CC.ca - $440
From VisionD - $235

After PM - $200 from CC (free shipping)

[DannymcG]

I'm looking for contact lenses. Are you ordering via telephone and quoting a price match (as opposed to on line ordering) ?
Thanks.

[tonyford]

1 more question, are there taxes on contacts?


EDIT:
Nope, answered my own question...i'm frigging awesome

[Battscrew]

coastal contacts - 10% crazedecsweet

visionpro.ca wbnew $10 off over 149 new customers (CAD) - funny if you switch to US you will get $10 off under the $149

[DannymcG]

I ordered contacts from Clearly contacts (Air Optix Night & Day Aqua monthlies) four boxes (12 prs) and priced matched with Vision Direct.
Clearly reg $221
Vision $153 (used 20% coupon)

Actual price from Clearly $146.

A great buy !!

[wilbrod]

Pricematch Clearlycontacts.ca with visionpros.ca as well using the coupon redflagdeals2010 (10% off) and shipping was free. Knocked off the difference + 11$ off my order.

[matt4670]

just called CC and talked to a Nicole. Nicest CSR ever talked to. PM with VisionPRos without any hassle. Highly recommended.

I think I found the absolute cheapest way to buy contacts. If you go to fatwallet which is a US deal site akin to RFD, and become a member, you will get 11% cash back on purchases from Coastal Contacts. Now several people in this thread have confirmed that if you purchase from Coastal, your lenses will be still be shipped from Clearly Contact's Vancouver warehouse, so in the end, there's little to no difference other than paying for your transactions in US funds. Plus fatwallet has list of all current Coastal coupon codes, which should make your contacts purchases dirt cheap.

Some people have confirmed that if you price match at Clearly, YMMV as to whether they will price match AND let you use coupons concurrently, whereas
buying this way pretty much ensures that you get a price that's 11% lower than Coastal's listed price PLUS be able to use their coupon codes.

Maybe they gave out too many free glasses to really care about real paying customers. Last time I ordered 5 paid order, and 3 ended up out of stock by the time they process it .... no compensation were given either.

I also found a site that blows all other sites away in terms of prices-- Contact Lens King.
Pretty much the lowest prices I've seen on the net, plus free shipping on all orders.
Even if you choose not to order from here, this is a great site you can use to PM at Coastal or Clearly.

HTH.

How long will I have to wait for money to show in my Cash Back account?
While most merchants report in just a few days, others may take up to 3 weeks from the SHIPPING date. Nothing will show in your account until the merchant reports to us, so please do not worry (or send a support request) until 3 weeks after your ENTIRE order has been shipped. If you still don't see anything, then please send us complete order information on a Support Request. We must receive such requests within 60 days to be able to do a full investigation.
We'll help if we can but the bottom line is this:
If we do not get paid by the merchant, we do not pay you.
Back to Top

How long will I have to wait for my Cash Back to be available?
Depending on the merchant, 91 - 121 days. Why? Because merchants typically have 90 days to reverse a transaction for return purposes. Your account will show "Pending" during this time. Some merchants take longer than others to pay us, and we can't pay you until they pay us! When the waiting is over, you will see the amount in your "Available Balance." You can then request payment.

I never said you should price match at COASTAL, as their prices are one of the lowest you can find on the net.
Just buy from Coastal without PM. You'll still get a 11% rebate AND be able to use their coupon codes for more discount.

CoastalContacts has a new code for today (Sunday, Jan 2, 2011) only : SUPERSUNDAY

Not quite sure what how they calculate it but it took 36% off my frame with 1.74 index lens.

Too bad I already ordered last week using the 30% off frames only code. Can I cancel my order and try again?

[shopper_of_things]

FYI--Looks like FatWallet dropped its cashback to 8% for CoastalContacts.

I am in the same situation. I could just order everything again at the lower price and return the current order that's being assembled. I am on hold right now with them and I will see what they say...

EDIT: They adjusted my total to reflect the new coupon. You should definitely give them a ring. Good luck!

Hey, good idea Pr0metheus! It took me an hour on hold but my order was reduced from ~$175 to ~$130. Probably won't get FatWallet's cash back but this is much better!

Used Clearly Contacts and price matched Visiondirect. Also applied coupon code NEW20VISION for additional 20% off.

Sorry, I do not have the name. She was pleasant albeit. I normally take the name and even thought to do so but for some reason it skipped my mind in the end. Go online and do a pseudo order with Visiondirect and call CC while you have it up.

Friendly staff, PM took minutes to do, and I got a great deal. Highly recommended.

Just ordered by phone through clearly Contacts and successfully price matched Visiondirect.com and applied coupon code NEW20VISION (20% off). Nice CSR and it went like a breeze: about 7 minutes over the phone. Just needed to ask to price match and to apply the coupon code.

Ordered 8 boxes of Focus Dailies 90 pack
- Clearly contact price: $56.99
- VisionDirect price: $32.49
- Less 20%: $25.99

The total for order of 8 of Focus Dailies 90 came to $207.94 + $25 handling fees: $232.94 (roughly $29 per boxes all in and shipped; $0.32 contact lense :razz:).

Hi Everyone, I just called Clearlycontacts and they were able to price match Visiondirect.com as well as match the $20 volume rebate for 4 units and 20%coupon code 20NEW along with free shipping. Original price was $185.00 with all discounts bill came out to $86.00!!

Enjoy all!

strange I tried that but didn't change anything (which is what I thought cause I tried thru my iphone and it didn't work either)

I called and there was no problem there. The only strange thing is that no order is to my name on the website but I guess the calling center and the website aren't link concerning the orders so it should be there in 7 to 10 days.

got some lenses.

So how does this work now, I haven't paid yet, will my invoice be adjusted with the new price or will i have to pay the original price and then they will refund me? :?: Thanks

[tynanwong]

Wow! I just made an order at clearly contacts and price matched with Vision Direct for 2 people! My order at Clearly Contacts was just over $450. With the price match my contacts were $269.00. All I did was mention that I wanted a price match and they calculated everything for me. They automatically added the 20% discount. I'm sold!!

[dngo12]

Do you guys just call Clearlycontacts and say you want to do a price match?

[matrixfwd]

did you guys apply the 20% coupon code when you login to pay after getting the confirmation? I asked the CSR about it and she said I can't combine the 20% off and pricematch as I can only choose one or the other. I was not sure if she was referring to the visiondirect 20% first time order, or the clearlycontacts coupon code you guys are talking about.

[dngo12]

Did you guys buy the contact lenses from clearlycontacts first and then call to price match?

[jimmyjamez]

My boxes just came today.

Got them to price match vision direct, apply -20% and a 110% price difference + US conversion rate applied. (Canadian dollar above par).

Total came up to $79 for 4 boxes of Acuvue Oasys. Tax in and shipped. Original $169.00

Awesome deal.

[dngo12]

I called in today and the I got $51 for 1 box of FD 90 pack with shipping+tax+20%+%110 price difference. The CSR said that I don't get free shipping because for VD the free shipping is only to the US and I live in Canada. I don't even get how it added up to $51, I gotta look at the receipt. The CSR said shes going to send me the correct one in 24 hours.

I don't think she added the 20% discount...

[minyeppy]

would clearlycontact price match with coastal contact?
i know they are same company, but US dollar is almost par with canadian dollar, and their price is way cheaper than clearly contacts.

i am looking to buy focus day and night, and Visiondirect doesn't carry those lenses, so i can't price match with them with 20% sigh.

It was posted on the Facebook page. Should be anywhere in Canada. The selection is not that great now imo and they do this offer all the time, so I guess if you don't see anything now then wait for the next one as it's only 1 free offer per address.

[rhainman]

I just ordered 14 boxes of Acuvue Oasys for $267 from Clearly Contacts after PMing Vision Direct ($377 minus $31 volume discount minus 20% new customer discount). Original price at Clearly Contacts before the pricematch was $516. I'm pretty happy.

[ilove]

Depending on the brand of contacts you wear, it might be cheaper to PM with Contact Lens King. For example, I wear Biofinity, and PM'ing CLK is about $5 cheaper per box compared to PM'ing Vision direct, even if the 20% off deal is applied.

[Tenzo12]

Just pricematch through ClearlyContacts over the phone via VisionDirect's prices and everything went super smooth. Clearly a great site to use from now on for my contact needs. Thanks for info guys.

price matched clearly contacts with vision direct, 8 boxes of FreshLook ColorBlends,

original: $381,
adjusted for 110% price match, 20% coupon, shipping, conversion: 191$ all inclusive.

Hey guys, I'm kind of new at this. Do you just tell the ClearlyContacts rep over the phone that you want to price match? Do you say you're price matching against VisionDirect and they'll calculate the PM for you w/o having to give a link or some sort? This also means you're ordering over the phone right? If so, do you tell them the coupon code, so they'd apply it for you?

Thanks for the help in advance.

Thanks for the help in advance.

1) call to order Product X
2) tell them the site you'd like to pm with and coupon code you used at that site
..they pm with vision direct all the time so they know the site and they have to go through the whole process you went through to find the price. don't forget vision direct charges $9.99 for shipping to Canada and they have to convert currency as well

[x1222]

I price matched 4 boxes of air aqua from $212 down to $112 from vision direct. I added some solution also to the order and used my student 10% discount for it. Didn't know it also used my $75 student insurance, thought it was only 10%. After sending them my order, I noticed I only got a $25 refund. It was against their policy to use any additional deals, so they deduct $75 from the original price and price match from there. So I only saved $25, which sucks. I suppose I should have read the price match policy better, but it doesn't really make sense to me. Insurance should be separate. I could get the contacts for $112, then just claim the insurance myself and get everything for $37 bucks. Or if the 10% is the problem, just make the total still $112 for the contacts.

Edit: Emailed them back about it, they realized they were wrong about the insurance and gave me the $75 more. Very nice customer service, they were so apologetic that it actually made me feel like I was the one doing something wrong.

Got an email from clearly contacts this morning with a new coupon code for a contact lens order. Not exactly a huge deal, but better than nothing if you need to order anyway. Also not sure if you can stack this with other coupons/deals.

"SQUEEZE" - Squeeze every penny of savings. Take an extra $1.25 off every box of contacts.

[purple_rabbit]

Just PM'ed with clearlycontacts using visiondirect. They still use the 20NEW 20% off coupon code. However, the operator did not give me free shipping since he says that visiondirect charges $9.95 to Canada. They use XE for the exchange rate and it actually worked out pretty well since the CDN to USD rate is at an all-time high right now....

So for $221.49 of O2 Optix originally from clearlycontacts, it dropped to $91.38 with PM. Great Deal!

[immodium]

:facepalm: just spent $165 for the same thing on lens.com which i thought was a good deal at the time....i've gotta check RFD before making any and all purchases in the future.

[smuPoker]

Just ordered from ClearlyContacts PM'ing Vision Direct and using the 20NEW code. I went from ~142 down to ~82. You can't argue with those savings!

[joe2k1]

Which Optix did you buy? http://www.discountcontactlenses.com seems to be the cheaper ones to PM. You can still call CC back and have them adjust the order.

Forgot to mention this:

Save $8 off $80 order with free shipping over $99 (Use coupon:DCL8)
$5 off any $50 Contact Lens Order (Use coupon:DCL5)

Same here... Been using CC for a few years. For my current order, I just called and asked them to PM Vision Direct. They put me on hold for a minute to price my order at VisionDirect, and came back with $121 down from $261.

The prices are actually very similar

For O2 Optix, 6 boxes (18.85 ea) came up to $113.10 at discountcontactlenses and $119.94 at visiondirect(19.95 ea)

With the 20% off coupon from visiondirect, it comes up to be a couple dollars cheaper.

[joe2k1]

Alright, I guess it pays to double check the coupons and factor them in to the mix. Do O2's have a MIR? That would really sweeten the deal up!

Thanks to this thread, I just ordered 8 boxes of Acuvue Oasys from clearlycontacts.ca with a price match from visiondirect.com for CAD$120.08. Not sure how the CSR arrived at that total, since my calculations, including volume discount, 20% off for new customers, exchange, and 110% price match guarantee, said it should cost about $139, but I'm not complaining it was less :razz:. That's just $15.01 a box! My optometrist wanted $294, after mail-in rebate.

[LonesomeDove]

Has clear contacts have polarization for sunglasses yet? That is one feature I want because tints just does not work when the sun is out. Especially Polarized sunglasses are good for driving.

[ancodia]

great deal. Ordered two sets of glasses with transition lenses, total shipped 186.00. Says I should get them next Monday. :)

How long is this promotion gonna last?
I have to get my eyes checked cause I don't know any of the stuff I have to enter.. I need some sports goggles for basketball

[original_rt4]

Hello,
I want to price match the vision direct to CC... have noticed one of the visiondirect coupons has expired, anybody know a current one to use in order to get the best price match?

[icedtea]

My best guess it ends Sunday night (April 24) because they are doing a freebie giveaway on April 25. Strangely, there is no expiry date/time listed in the email.

[waz]

Just placed an order with clearlycontacts. Paid 219.88 for four(4) packs of TrueEye 90pack. No problem PMing with vision direct (and using 20NEW coupon) and the customer rep even asked if I have a coupon before I mentioned it lol. Great experience overall.

[cujo]

if we ordered 1 free pair from clearlycontact, can we order 1 free from costal contact?

[vaporize]

but i'm confused

As far as WE (customers) are concerned. Clearly Contacts, Coastal Contacts (or for that matter, Lensway) are all separate entity and separate companies, so free pair from one company is not related to another company :)

[hellokittyonline2]

very true, but since they are the same company they might have the same customer database.

Well gonna order one, worst can happen is i can cancel it

[vaporize]

True True :) But in my experience, they do not cross-mail their customer bases. Let's see this time. The account you created in one company cannot be used to login to another, however they do share the order numbers.

THX CUJO for the info

Interestingly enough, I found out that Americans are not as 'crazy' as Canadians when it comes to their free glasses promotion ... probably because they can get online glasses for the price of that shipping. I've gotten < $10 shipped online glasses (not from CC group of company thou).

[hellokittyonline2]

wow under 10!

where is that?

have to have us address i assume?

[vaporize]

wow under 10!

where is that?



Glasses-shop.com I think, it was like $11 + free shipping with a 50% or clearance coupon I think. Shipped from China though, ultra slow like 3 weeks. Overall quality is not as good as Clearly Contacts and customer service is definitely not as good. But lens & prescription is correct, I would not compare them to CC quality, style & level of customer service. I"ve heard goggle4u have it very cheap too, cheaper than Clearly Contacts on regular priced stuff.

Actually last time's < $10 from glasses-shop.com was to Canada address, but I think US address is $2-3 cheaper or free. But most of these are orderd to make in china.

Clearly contact's customer service & risk-free conditions are awesome, you don't like for any reason you get a full refund even with shipping. Shipping is pretty fast too. So if it's same or a few dollar similar price, I rather support CC group no doubt.

[brownstein]

Wow, just ordered 3 pairs of glasses for $60 all in between this deal and the clearlycontacts one yesterday. This version of the site seems to charge extra for the uv/antiglare/scratch coatings but still an awesome deal!

[smacd]

In for another pair! "THANKS" given, cujo!

[cujo]

In for another pair! "THANKS" given, cujo!

word, free glasses are so awesome for us four eyes :)

That was quick...ordered free glasses on Sunday and got them today...well, wasn't totally free since I got thinner lenses plus shipping costs.

Follow instructions from post #916 on page 62 (they won't even ask but the coupon code is 20NEW 20% for new visiondirect customer). I received my 8 boxes Oasys a few weeks ago for $124 shipping & tax included. The process is surprisingly simple they must be doing PM all the time like everyone says so they don't even bother asking any additional question at all.

[Strategy]

Hey everyone,

Ive been wearing glasses all my life but I'm thinking of switching to contacts for sports and such. If I like them, I'll continue to wear them over glasses.

I was wondering what the best deal is right now for daily contact lenses? I've been looking at clearlycontacts.com, but there are so many brands and when I click on each, most seem exactly the same..

What do you think?

[Binden]

Just got clearlycontacts to PM contactlensking. Rep on phone was super nice, only took her like 5mins to get it all worked out. I will def be ordering from them again.

I didnt score 8 boxes for that price, but yet 141 + that's still great, 100.00 difference from original after price match and yes they did ask for the code of 20new. I am a happy camper thanks to all the wonderful individuals who look after each other through RFD :)

What do you think?

I love wearing contacts. Yes, there are too many to choose from. Your optometrist in usually steer you in the right direction. Do you need extra moisture? Do you have an astigmatism? Do you want to change to a new pair everyday and avoid cleaning? Would you prefer to wear your contacts 24/7? Do you want to change your eye color? You can buy a box of a few different ones and see what you think. Good luck. You can often try many different ones for nothing as Walmart etc will let you try and pair for awhile and if they are not what you want you just keep trying different brands/types.

I just did this today for 4 boxes of Frequency 55 monthly lenses. ClearlyContacts wanted $136.09 all in, but after the PM to VisionDirect with 20NEW it came down to $64.85 - that's a 52% discount, or just $16.21/box all in.

As noted previously VisionDirect charges shipping to Canada, so one advantage here was that this order didn't qualify for free shipping at CC either, so that bumped up the difference by $9.95 (since they compare the final prices including shipping and handling converted to $CDN).

[dgnr8]

I just called clearly contacts to have them price match contact lens king, they said they could, but they could not do that with the 20% off coupon code. They said it had to be one or the other? Anyone else have this problem?

[Msh3ll]

I just PMed with VisionDirect, no hassles and they applied the 20% "20NEW". :)

Thanks!!

[yiujun]

This thread saved me a lot of money.

My optical store wanted to charge me $350 for a years' worth of contacts (Proclear Toric).
I purchased two years' worth of contacts just now on clearly contacts for $505 (Biofinity Toric and Air Optix for Astigmatism). Then I price matched with Visiondirect and brought the price down to $295.

The customer service at Clearly Contacts was great, they've been through the drill before and automatically add on the 20NEW coupon code. They don't add on any promo codes from Clearly Contacts after price match though. Just forget about promo codes, since they bring down the Clearly Contacts price (which is no good when you want to PM).

I had to call in to correct one thing though. There is a $20 mail in rebate available for US residents on the Vision Direct website for the Air Optix contacts. The CSR just assumed that the checkout price would include the rebate so he added on $20 (this doesnt make sense since it's mail in!). He caught me off guard at first so I had to call in and fix that. But after everything, I saved A LOT of money! If I didn't see this thread I may have still been paying $505, or even $700, for 2 years' worth of contacts.

Now here's to hoping that my contacts prescription is correct - I haven't done contact lens fitting since I was young and I've always relied on the prescription from my old boxes (my vision hasnt changed for the past 8 years). I just noticed that the previous batch of contacts I've used (purchased at optical store) had a wrong number on it. I hate it that optometrists have to charge $50 if you want a contact lens prescription...

Good thing Clearly Contacts have an awesome returns policy!! :D

It's a bad idea to buy contact lenses without proper fitting. Bad bad bad.

[sisyphe]

I think if you were originally fitted for contact lenses, and you've had your eyes checked periodically to verify that your prescription hasn't changed, you're probably safe sticking with your original contact lens prescription without paying to get a fitting done all over again. That's what I've been doing ever since my original fitting 6 years ago. Maybe if decades go by and I have to switch brands or something I will get a fitting done again.

I just did the BOGO coupon with Clearly Contacts last night, and I was pleasantly surprised I also got free shipping for my order despite my order being under $129 and free shipping being a separate coupon when you can only enter one. Maybe it has something to do with the Canada Post strike and forcing us to use FedEx . . . ? They gave me 50% off the polycarbonate lens upgrade also, so that was effectively BOGO too.

One thing I find terribly confusing is how they have separate sites for Clearly Contacts and Coastal Contacts. Effectively it would be cheaper to buy from Coastal Contacts because the frame prices seem to be the same but USD, but it seems like they do small differences like I noticed polycarbonate lenses cost more on the CAD site, but the coatings bundle costs more on the USD site, so depending on what you order it could vary which site is actually cheaper. It's also weird that the CAD site has the free shipping coupon for orders over $129, but the USD site has it for orders over $38.

Neither is the case with that poster. Plus he/she's changing to different contacts.

[sisyphe]

I assume "haven't done contact lens fitting since I was young" means they had a fitting done when they were younger, unless it means they never had a contact lens fitting because they were young, but that doesn't make sense as a reason not to have a contact lens fitting I don't think. I really can't imagine that someone would have ever started wearing contacts without an initial fitting back in the day, although nowadays I suppose some people are because of online shopping. I really wouldn't have felt comfortable without having someone teach me how to put them in and take them out though, and I wouldn't have known anything about sizing, so that still seems a bit strange that anyone would buy them the first time without a fitting.

[wushudrew]

I ordered contacts from ClearlyContacts recently and opened one of them to find that the lens was torn almost in half. I called them about it and they immediately credited the cost of the lens to my account without any hassles. There is nowhere better to get contacts!

Just a side note: if at least half of the lenses in a box are defective, they will replace the entire box for you.

[Canmod]

just did a pm with clearly with no hassles at all, the CSR was very nice and more than happy to PM Visions. Got my order from 257 down to 107...awesome

Correct, I had a contacts fitting done at my optometrist when I was in high school, which must've been 11 years ago. But my prescription hasnt seen any changes since 8 years ago. I've always just brought my prescription for glasses to the place where I got my contacts and they figured out the rest for me. I didn't even realize that there was a different prescription until I started to order online with this order. I wonder how the store got the contacts prescription, I'm hoping they didnt just "take a guess"...!

You get the contact lens prescription through a formula, however when you do a contact lens fitting, the optometrist checks your vision with the contact lens on. Glasses and contact lenses are two different animals. Contact lens is on your eye, and will need adjusts in terms of prescription depending on the fit, size and movement on the eye from what I was told. You only have 1 set of eyes.

Any valid coupons working now? I missed the "20new." :(

Any valid coupons working now? I missed the "20new." :(

I think you're a little confused, it would probably help if you read the thread a bit more in detail.
The 20NEW code is not clearlycontacts, it's visiondirect - everyone is PM'ming visiondirect's price with clearlycontacts.

[jaae]

Fantastic.

Just did the PM for O2 Optix contacts.

12 boxes in total:

$419 down to $180 (including shipping)

Unreal. No hassle at all. Person on the phone knew exactly what I was looking for with the price match of Vision Direct.

[sparrow_69]

Thanks! Saved me about 55$ on ordering contact's for my GF. PM of visiondirect went off without a hitch.

[frankc92]

Does CC not do invoice payments anymore? I did an order over the phone and the CSR told me i had to pay via Credit card and couldn't use paypal via an invoice.
Oh well, got a great price nonetheless.

[maritrunks]

I just ordered 4 boxes of Focus Dailies 90pk for $118 after PM'ing with CC! Original price would have been $253.12. That's more than 50% off!

360 Lenses for $118, and to add to that.. free shipping.

Not bad at all!

[Faeton]

Order 8 boxes (4 of each) of Acuvue Advance from CC, PMed with VisionDirect w/ 20NEW coupon. Normally $275, PMed to $120 w/ FedEX shipping due to postal strike. Awesome!

[diaconal]

I followed the instructions, got $68.06 off the total order 2 boxes of Dailies Aqua Comfort Plus for $89.36 total, Total Difference $68.06!

Now I'm thinking if I pay $30 more, I can get 2 more boxes... oh well

Side note, I noticed the CSR emailed the detailed PM where the US to CAD was Current XE Rate 1.02055 (instead of the other way around). I emailed about regarding this and she quickly made the fix. Great customer service!

[pysik]

hey i just used this coupon over at coastal contacts over the weekend to get 20% off
COASTALJUN

[stratedge]

Wow, I have to say, the customer support for Clearly Contacts is exceptional (just did the 20NEW price match thing). I think it may well be the best ever company I've ever dealt with, if you ignore the ~7 minutes I spent on hold. Good for them, that plus being a Canadian company, I will be absolutely be buying from them for a very long time even if they're not always the cheapest.

[Tyop]

I've never ordered online, so I just have a question.
I usually wear Pure Vision Monthlys and I was wondering when it says 2 boxes, does it mean 2 boxes of 6 contact lenses or 12 months worth of lenses? I found this on Coastal Contacts:
http://www.coastalcontacts.com/contact-lenses/purevision/prod93970.html

[krispy146]

I don't understand, how are people PMing for such low prices with a 20% off promo? Are the prices at Visiondirect that low to start with?

[pavelbure10]

I don't understand, how are people PMing for such low prices with a 20% off promo? Are the prices at Visiondirect that low to start with?

Phone clearly contacts and they will match the price, plus they ask for any other coupons, mention the 20new, and you get another 20%, no hassle no nothing

[FacistCop]

Fantastic! I ordered contacts from Clearly and PM'd Vision Direct with the 20new code. Got a $263 order down to $120!! I could have got them for $140 with Coastal anyway though, I don't know why Clearly's prices were so high.

[keljai]

does anyone know when the 20new expires?

[iwlso]

Wasn't it Clearly Contacts a participating partner with AirMilesShops.ca (or Aeroplan eStore) that we could also earn airmiles/aeroplan from our purchases??
The promo ended recently?
Thanks.

[KennethToronto]

I called clearlycontacts on an order and PMed visiondirect like everyone else. The CSR said my CC would be authorized with the more expensive pre-PM price but the actual charge would be the price matched price. Is this the case with everyone else?

[azia]

I called in to pricematch Acuvue Oasys contacts today and the final price I was quoted is 145.34. :?: However, I see that a number of people on this thread were able to get it for approx. $125 all in.

The rep I spoke with used the price BEFORE mail in rebate is considered - $26.99 x 8 but based on the $125 price everyone is quoting, that seems to be based on the $19.99 x 8 price AFTER mail in rebate.

Am I missing something in my call? Thanks!

[nadita]

I wasn't able to get the 20NEW coupon stacked on top of the price match. The rep was new, and kept telling me that she had to apply the coupon *before* she did the price match. I kept telling her that it made no sense to do that, but she didn't understand why. The total was way too high and I said I'll hold off on the order because I have to think about it :\ I'll call again on Monday and see if I can get a different rep. The waiting time on Sunday was ridiculous too, I was on hold for 45 min. Not bashing the company, the rep was very nice and polite, I just think I was unlucky this time and didn't get what I wanted.

[consumerPI]

PM with ContactLensKing at ClearlyContacts as Vision Direct has jacked their prices taking into account the 20% off coupon. Actually check both as some may have better pricing with specific brands.

Just watch out for international shipping and the additional handling fee. CLK - $15.95 + $4.95, VD - $9.95 + $1.95. Ripoffs! Did anyone get free shipping with CC after a Price Match? Make sure that they give you 110% of the difference on the PM as per their PM policy.

ALSO, WTF is this on the ClearlyContacts website:
Your order may include up to a 7.75% Handling and Insurance surcharge to ensure your product is safely delivered to your door. This insurance also covers you if your contact lens prescription changes. If this is the case, you can return your unexpired, unopened boxes and we will ship you new lenses to match your new prescription.






Just got clearlycontacts to PM contactlensking. Rep on phone was super nice, only took her like 5mins to get it all worked out. I will def be ordering from them again.

So I ended up getting 4 boxes of the Daily AquaComfort Plus 90 pack for 158$ including shipping (that's 39.50 per box!). Not bad at all considering that my optometrist would have charged me 75$ per box!

Basically, and it took me a while to get this so I'm reposting for those who just started reading the tread.. You go to the Visiondirect site, add the items to the cart, then type in the 20NEW coupon and apply that. CC gives you that price (converts it to CAD$, which makes the amount even less because of our strong dollar), and gives you 10% of the difference with their price on top of that. Hope this helps someone!

Wait so where did you pricematch during that process?

Has anyone been hit with duties / taxes on shipments from VisionDirect? I have never ordered from them, but their price on contacts are unreal...

Thanks -

I called Clearly Contacts, and asked them to price match Visiondirect

Just ordered from Clearlycontacts which price matched vision direct to their coast contacts price. The rep said it was about 99$ from Vision Direct which was 20$ less than what I had priced it with the NEW20 discount. The coastalcontact price was almost $200 so I got 12 pairs of Biofinity lenses for 92$ CND all included. He even did the price conversion on the US price which made it cheaper according to XE.com. The last time I bought contacts from a retailer I must've paid double that. Crazy how cheap they are online.

Oh OK cool, you can't stack a free ship on top of the price match right? I tried that last week and they didn't let me...

I'm not sure whether I qualified for the free shipping or not. The rep said in the end it would cost me 158$ all in. But on the CC website at the top, it says that orders of more than 99$CAD qualify for free shipping, so maybe he used that, I'm not really sure.
