[simms]

Done, code worked as of 9:26am. $98 with $98 off, just paid shipping $15 or so.

[angui]

kinda weird eh, u'd think that the deal would be gone by now since it was advertised in the last page of the metro? wow.

still how can they get gucci glasses for $98 when retail is $315?

[spazzamatic]

didn't work for me :(

thanks op

[xstatik]

Dead :(

[uwheelsgy]

Worked for me...I got $98 frames for free but paid for the 1.67 lenses at the new higher price :(

[taliosfalcon]

My order just went through seconds ago so I'm not sure what you guys saying its dead did wrong :confused:

[jam-kun]

This deal is still alive!

I've got two glasses en route.. .one for me, one for the wife :)

[strangeepiphany]

Worked for me about 20 minutes ago. Thanks!

[toothpicvic]

thanks op, pulled the trigger. 15 bucks shipped.

[optionfans]

just ordered, no problem at all!!!

[angui]

ok got a new pair of GA glasses for myself. for interviews and stuff :P

[hopsoid]

worked, thx OP:D

[roofster]

Got a pair as well! Thanks!

[zwanzig]

wow only $15.. that's a good deal

[skanji]

grabbed prescription sunglasses for $45!!

[Ackbar]

How do you guys get this to work. I'm picking out the cheapest frames + lens and it is still ~50 shipped. my prescription isn't that bad.

[angui]

i think they're approximately about just pass th 500-600 pair mark so far. based on my first order at 8+am.

[dalman]

I think only available to Toronto area residents. It is in the metro today.

[angui]

coupon code - may11

[xstatik]

I don't have my prescrpition info with me.. Has anyone dealt with this site before? Will they change the order afterwards? How hard and how much is it to change the lenses in a store?

[Gursk]

Works - thanks! Hot deal!!!

[crukkh]

While you seemingly can't go wrong getting brand name glasses for $15, I'm returning my Nike after 3 attempts by Clearly to install the left lens correctly. I've given up. They just can't get it right. I cant be bothered shipping the pair to them AGAIN (yes, it's at their expense). Each time they do up a new pair, lens installation is WORSE than before - and that's after I was assured that glasses won't leave their lab before QC manager inspects them personally. What a BS.

On the other note, my other pair (rimless) is just fine.

[bionicsamm]

Pink Fendi Frames coming my way for $16.99 after handing and shipping!

[Badman]

I don't have my prescrpition info with me.. Has anyone dealt with this site before? Will they change the order afterwards? How hard and how much is it to change the lenses in a store?

thinking of doing that as well.

[angui]

they wont, at least not in my short experience with them. again going going gone!!!! won't last long.

[malbadon]

Just a reminder to those who have ordered before that Clearlycontats "standard" free lens have dropped from 1.61 glass down to 1.5 glass, so a far thicker standard glass than it used to be. Gotta pay 40 bucks to get back up to 1.61.

[canadiantj]

I'm in for a pair of Fendi and Lacoste. $35 dollars poorer!:twisted:

[MrDisco]

Thanks op. Ordered 3 frames..will most likely have them re-done with Nikon Seemax lenses locally so this coupon basically gave me ~$20 designer frames.

Has anyone dealt with their returns? What happens if I don't like the frame I chose and/or doesn't fit; is it easy to obtain a refund (I assume we pay the shipping back)

[Gursk]

I think only available to Toronto area residents. It is in the metro today.

Nope, mine are being delivered to Vancouver. :)

[dealzuser]

Worked. Thanks, OP.

Too bad I ordered full price ones only 2 weeks ago... Dollar cost averaging. :)

[popo]

thanks op
it wouldn't add to cart for me on firefox worked on IE

[neo1973]

Coupon doesn't work on sunglasses.

[mong]

Thanks, got a pair for someone.

[Gursk]

thanks op
it wouldn't add to cart for me on firefox worked on IE

Firefox was OK for me. No prob.

[akarimbc]

spoke to someone in CSR and coupon is for toronto area only.

[Hugh Jass]

Coupon code is : MAY11TH

[taliosfalcon]

spoke to someone in CSR and coupon is for toronto area only.

Bahh that means they'll be cancelling all our orders =( oh well

[DealGiver]

can you take the frames and have your local optametrist install your actuall prescription locally?

[akarimbc]

Nope, mine are being delivered to Vancouver. :)

Spoke to someone in CSR, stated that they go through the online orders and will cancel any orders outside the Toronto area.

[cyc1120]

10:20 Eastern time still worked for me.

Gucci glasses for 15.34. Thanks OP!

[dealzuser]

can you take the frames and have your local optametrist install your actuall prescription locally?

Why not?

[bokep]

Argh where's my prescription when I need it :S.

Oh well ordered one w/o my cylinder. $15 for a backup pair isn't so bad. Thanks OP!

[taliosfalcon]

I'm somewhat amazed by how incompetent their website managers are(i'm assuming they're small enough to outsource their IT). it would be the work of a few minutes for anyone who has any idea wtf they're doing to just reject orders outside the area the coupons supposed to be for immediately.

[MasterXan]

HELP!
i'm reading my prescription and the numbers on my prescription are smaller than the numbers listed on the site.

ie. Sphere: R=-650 L=-450

but the range on the site goes from +6.00 to -20.00

:confused:

[MrDisco]

add coupon code MAY11.


Coupon code is : MAY11TH

err..which is it? :confused:

[jayster_4_69]

Thanks deal is still alive just got a free pair!

[MrDisco]

HELP!
but the range on the site goes from +6.00 to -20.00

:confused:

:confused:

Just go in the drop down box and scroll down. It's the -numbers followed by the +numbers.

[mikesxf]

disable greasemonkey and adblock, then your firefox should work

ordered mine, added tint, total $44, not bad for a design frame

[addicted2deals]

Deal worked for me. Got a free pair with tint.

Had to pay for 1.61 index and tint though, but still worth it :)

[HockeyMusic]

hmmmm.....std lenses? Must be pretty powerful, but if it can help someone avoid the clap, it's worth the price of admission, especially when you're dealing with the end of the nighters at 2am :lol:

That being said, I think this is a good deal, but I don't see any semi-rimless frames I would necessarily like, and I'd need to try them on to see if they look good

[Nav]

[Starxin]

thnx OP, just ordered Gucci 1721 3U0 for $15.34 :cheesygri

[ugando]

THANKS OP!!
just ordered and it went through!!

I just hope it arrives soon...

there does appear to be a problem with firefox, had to use IE to order

[nounou23]

Ordered Nike 6007 Steel
Total 15.54$ :)

Thanks OP

[angui]

weird i used FF3.0.10 + ABP worked fine.

[grinspy]

Awesome! Worked in FF for me.

[bug]

Worked for me, thanks for the info :)

[Aske001]

Still works at 7:41 PST (if they will ship to Vancouver).

But unfortunately I see that CC are playing the game of overpriced "extras" now. Anything over 1.5 refractive index plastic will cost you a lot extra.

[shoprider]

Looks like they're starting to cancel orders.

I got 2 pairs and I just got emails saying my orders were cancelled.
I thought it might be because i got more than 1 pair so i called the call center to see if i could get my first pair still but they told me my order was cancelled because the offer is only open to new customers in TO.

Anyone else get the emails or get the same explanation from the call center?

[HowEver]

You're forgetting how valuable confirmed personal information is to some companies. Scoop!

[Nutchos]

Well ordered 2 (1 for mom) hope they go through since were in Vancouver.

[Bleys007]

Looks like their site is down. Phew, I got in just under the wire :D

Mississauga is considered "Toronto Area" right? :)

[Starxin]

it seems the website down...


:cry:

[puff_daddy_58_99]

I;m in toronto, trying to use the code, and the website is completely stalled. I add to cart, and nothing shows up... and that's in ie, not firefox.

[Raocorp]

i just ordered a set of nike's, $15 shipping. crazy deal

you know whats kind of a piss off, i just ordered 2 pairs last week (one with tint, one without) and paid full price.

Where are you located???

I just hope they don't start cancelling orders for 905 areas, given that it's part of the Greater Toronto Area

[angui]

looks like they've taken the site down.

NO THEY HAVEN'T it's just SLOWWWWWWWWWWWWW.

[wmahmud]

NEED HELP!!

Getting a pair for the wife...but what is a typical PD for a average female??

Please help!!!

[Winegums]

NEED HELP!!

Getting a pair for the wife...but what is a typical PD for a average female??

Please help!!!

Mine is 61 but everyone is different. The site said it can range from the 40s (or was it 50s) to the 70s.

[angui]

i just ordered a set of nike's, $15 shipping. great deal

you know whats annoying, i just ordered 2 pairs last week and paid full price.
that kind of pisses me off.

you can cancel the order ?

Hopefully your order was canceled because you order two pairs (gotta love greed) and not because you weren't in Toronto.

It doesn't make sense for them to just target the Toronto market and screw over the rest of Canada. In business, larger market = more $$$.

[Raddo]

Still works at 7:41 PST (if they will ship to Vancouver).

But unfortunately I see that CC are playing the game of overpriced "extras" now. Anything over 1.5 refractive index plastic will cost you a lot extra.

+1! Too bad my lenses are not 'standard lenses', they want like almost $150 for a pair of glasses! Oh well, good for those who were able to get in on the deal! :D

[MasterXan]

NOOO!!

just when I made up my mind to purchase one

anyone getting the thin 1.67 lenses?

what's your prescription?

[Neil4Speed]

No!!! site is dying for me, just when I picked out which ones I wanted!

[godshoot]

They had this promotion @ other regions around canada before as well.

[psweitzer]

Website is toassssst!

I got some back in Nov... hoping the website comes back up so i can share in the deal!

of course its slow, its getting massive traffic.


I wonder if i can cancel my previous order from last week.....

[grape]

Uh oh, I hope they won't cancel mine. I'm in downtown Toronto but I've ordered from them before. I'm hoping the site gets back up so that I can pay and seal the deal :lol:

[MasterXan]

anyone got their cart emptied from the first crash?

[WalterQ]

Ooops! bit of a bush league outfit.

Wonder how sale of contact lenses and glasses outside Toronto are going (without a website) :)

[angui]

anyone got their cart emptied from the first crash?

should be stored in your cookies right?

[Fantaz]

Damn, why didn't I wake up earlier today. I'm so poor I don't even have a decent pair of glasses, let alone designer frames. I'm blind help me!

[4 rubBeR]

1st attempt apparently crashed...so I re-ordered.

Checked my e-mail for confirmation...lo and behold...two exact orders!

Replied to the second order and requested that they cancel it...I will call them tomorrow to confirm...I don't want to take a chance on having to ship one pair back.

Odrered lacoste 12200 with tint and 1.59 lense for $76.65

Not bad I guess...

How have people faired with returns...were you on the hook for shipping expenses?

someone replied earlier in a post that they paid for shipping.

[rockthecasbah]

Also, assuming I AM able to order (doubtful with the way the site is), has anyone been able, or know if you're able, to revise your order on the prescriptions deets?

I am at work and can't get my prescription details so I'd like to order it for now and then get the #s confirmed.

[strictness]

Sweet!!! Worked for me. Got myself a pair of Hugo Boss for the price of shipping!!!

[an0nymz]

someone replied earlier in a post that they paid for shipping.

I returned 2 pairs before (on a paid order, not freebie like this) and they emailed me a prepaid shipping label. They sent me back the new pairs without any extra cost.

[HowEver]

Ooops! bit of a bush league outfit.

Good question. They advertise on MSN, on the sides of buses, and sell contacts and glasses in different countries. So one would expect some kind of solid web support.

It seems unlikely that RFD alone could bring their site down. More likely is that it's down so they don't have to process a lot of other requests. And if you want glasses, and aren't in Toronto, you might visit them again tomorrow. Perhaps?

Then again, I'm still waiting for a $20 pair (upgraded to sunglasses) that's gone back and forth since December (3 out of 4 ain't bad, I guess).

[bonita!]

I ordered with FEDEX. What happens if I am not home and live in a apartment?

They also were handing out a TON OF FLYERS in front of Union Station.. Many office workers downtown ordering glasses can crash the server.

They'll leave a delivery notice on your door and come back the next business day, unless you call to arrange another delivery date.

i was at union this morning, everyone reading the metro saw the ad on the back of it, and they were handing out flyers at union station, bay/king and who knows where else, so a lot of people know about this, cant really blame the webmasters, they probably tried to get ready for the onslaught but failed.

[neonoir]

Finally got the page to work after multiple stalls. Ordered a pair of Gucci's. Got an order number but no confirmation email as of yet. I'll be actually surprised if this works because I'm sure over 1000 people must have ordered so far.

Thank you.

[Winegums]

Apparently my order got submitted twice without me knowing it...called CSR and was able to cancel one. Didn't pay for any of the orders either so I'll wait until the madness is over and then go back online to pay.

THE CSR said it'll probably take ~10 business days to arrive.

[ravage]

The site is running very slow.

ok now comes the wait, if i were you i wouldn't call in to confirm (as per that person's post earlier regarding new customers only, toronto only etc) and cross fingers and hope to God that the glasses come in the mail =)

[spiralspirit]

restricting an online sale to one geographical region is stupid.

[MasterXan]

is the site down?

[jdewit]

restricting an online sale to one geographical region is stupid.

They have done Calgary & Edmonton already, and I think Vancouver. Maybe Winnipeg's time will come!

[angui]

restricting an online sale to one geographical region is stupid.


you can always try to get in on the action at most you can have the pleasure of them denying the deal.

otherwise +1 for you. right?

[Drawbar]

What about their American site. Anyone remember the url ???

[Gursk]

Ordered mine for delivery to Vancouver early this morning. No cancellations yet... knock on wood.

[vedia]

Worked. Thanks, OP.

Too bad I ordered full price ones only 2 weeks ago... Dollar cost averaging. :)


zero divided by one is still zero =)

[bokep]

So all these years you've been complaining about US-only deals right?

Use Internet Explorer.

[4flava]

Lol .. can't even get in the site.

[bonita!]

Just a reminder to those who have ordered before that Clearlycontats "standard" free lens have dropped from 1.61 glass down to 1.5 glass, so a far thicker standard glass than it used to be. Gotta pay 40 bucks to get back up to 1.61.



Thanks op. Ordered 3 frames..will most likely have them re-done with Nikon Seemax lenses locally so this coupon basically gave me ~$20 designer frames...


How much does it cost to get lenses redone with thin lenses (1.61 or thinner) at a local store?

[vedia]

this still going on?

[FatIndian]

No clue cause the site has been bombarded straight to downtime hell.

[MrDisco]

How much does it cost to get lenses redone with thin lenses (1.61 or thinner) at a local store?

I'm thinking it will probably cost me about $300 for Nikon SeeMax lenses. My last pair with frames were about $500-$600 (before my insurance claim). ymmv based on prescription and lens type you go with.

edit: also got my copy of the paper. the code is clearly MAY11 so I have no idea what kind of crack that other guy was smoking. its also 1/household so they'll probably be canceling my other orders. oh well.

[kala]

Just called CS and they said the free pair deal is over. The first 1000 people got the deal :( Wish I woke up early today!

He did mention that they have added additional pairs to the $38 list for the remainder of May. He wasn't able to tell me if the one I wanted was in that list because their system is down, so can't even place order by phone lol.

RFD effect!

[dealzuser]

How much does it cost to get lenses redone with thin lenses (1.61 or thinner) at a local store?

I got new lenses for an existing pair of glasses for $60. (New prescription and I liked my frames.) I have a light prescription, but I was quoted $130 at Costco to replace the lenses.

Anyways, this is where I went. They did it in less than 1 hour.

While they may cancel orders later on, you should know that I just tried (1:10) and the coupon is still valid online.

[MasterXan]

OH HELL YEAH! i got my order in right before the coupon got cancelled.

hopefully they'll ship it

:cheesygri

ok wtf, i just checked my e-mail and I got confirmations from previous failed attempts. wtf? i didn't give my payment info for those attempts. anyone got this problem too?

I was surprised at first too. When you buy glasses at Clearlycontacts, you pay later for your order, so that's why you don't submit any payment info when submitting your order.

Just call them up to cancel your unwanted orders.

sweet, i just called in and cancelled my order from last week wednesday.

and was able to re-order the two pairs that i ordered before. Just saved myself $90 because of this deal.

Previous order was $160
Today's order is $70
for the same exact pair....

I'm in toronto so I don't expect my orders to get cancelled.

EDIT: seems like the site is currently down.

[4flava]

Anyways, EVERYONE who managed to get an order through click on the THANK YOU button for the OP... I managed to get 1 order through.. my gf is gonna be happy to get a pair of "expensive" Gucci glasses :cheesygri

[4flava]

Site is back up!!!

no

try again

[Shastafly]

This is the small print on the Metro ad:

*Promotion valid on May 11, 2009. New customers only, Offer limited to first 1000 pairs of glasses, for Toronto area residents. Styles available while supplies last. Limit one per household. Clearly Contacts reserves the right to cancel orders that do not fit this criteria.

So - even though some people may get orders through that are from outside the GTA or to the same household or for multiple pairs, etc, those orders will be cancelled. They did this for Edmonton as well.

[MasterXan]

got a question for ppl who've shopped here before.

do they usually have more styles?

cause the choices are rather limited

[4flava]

STILL WORKS.. Just put another order through at work address~! $15.34 total

[gamer123]

no

try again

tried again seems to work, and i made the payment too. so hopefully order goes through :D

[coldpower27]

Sweet got some Gucci frames with the 1.61 Index and G15 Tint for Under 90 CDN taxes in, this is sweet. Now I have pretty much all I need a pair of sunglasses and regular glasses.

[psweitzer]

Hmmm...
Didn't see the new customer requirement... I got in on the deal back in Nov...

Just placed my order 15 mins ago so I'll have to play wait and see...

[integrity01]

wow, site goes down when trying to confirm order.. i wonder if it actually goes back to my saved cart when site comes back up...

anyone try their 1.61 with over +6.00 sphere? is it REALLY thick?
I am 6.75

[Cheapster]

anyone confirm?:confused:

Discount still works. Thanks much OP.

[angui]

just checked, it says my order(s) is(are) being shipped :cheesygri

[Vickel]

in the Os Sph part he wrote "1L" the L is like the handwriting lowercase L i have no idea what that means

and TO P.D is 65/62 mm so how do I input these?

[pink_panda]

just checked, it says my order(s) is(are) being shipped :cheesygri

what time did you order?

[bonita!]

Is the 'shipped' email a different email than the "confirmation' email?

[Starxin]

Is the 'shipped' email a different email than the "confirmation' email?

it must like this -- "Your order is being shipped. " in Order Status page. :D

[integrity01]

Can anyone confirm right NOW if the coupon still works? I keep getting a total of $177.19 for a frame that costs $138 and 39.99 for 1.61 lenses. I entered the MAY11 code. It worked just 10 min ago, but site went down as I was confirming order. Thanks

[La Parka]

Discount doesn't seem to work for me with a GVR shipping address. Boooo.

[dangerousfob]

i cant get coupon to work... retried 3 times.... looks like deals dead?

[Vickel]

deal seems dead

[mong]

Whether your orders go through for people outside of Toronto or for people who didn't read the fine-print is completely YMMV. Some orders might slip through but many will be cancelled.

Just because it's written that your orders is being shipped does not mean it will go through. For the Edmonton offer, I tried it just to see if it works since I saw many people try. Although I got that message, a few days later, my order was cancelled. All you can do is wait.

Try getting a frame that is $98 exactly. Then see if it works...

[CRayman Z]

deals dead for me:cry:

[chronos]

Code didn't work for me, so I called and the CSR said they sold the 1000th pair at 12:30pm EST :( Deal is dead!

[CRayman Z]

Try getting a frame that is $98 exactly. Then see if it works...

tried 3 pairs of $98, none worked.>:(

[an0nymz]

Try getting a frame that is $98 exactly. Then see if it works...

why $98 exactly? Did it say that in the flyer? I ordered a $148 pair earlier today and it worked. *fingers crossed*

[PiusPatronus]

Adding in into this thread.

I actually got a pamphlet from one of the advertisers from downtown and it states that only the first 1,000 pairs are free.


I got a Fyssh 3329 Black Blue this morning (around ~9:30AM).

Gratz to everyone that have one!

[integrity01]

Try getting a frame that is $98 exactly. Then see if it works...

It worked earlier with $138 frame. I successfully added to cart and showing the amount for shipping only. My friend ordered $198 frame too. I think deal is just dead...

[coldpower27]

why $98 exactly? Did it say that in the flyer? I ordered a $148 pair earlier today and it worked. *fingers crossed*

Just making a suggestion as to why it may or may not work for some ppls... coupon worked for me when I ordered.. so.. :razz:

"Shipped" means you'll get your glasses within a couple of months.

[MasterXan]

lol anyone used the coupon and got this?

https://www.clearlycontacts.ca/glasses/frames/lacoste-12206-blue/prod25006.html

I wonder if you could get a $60 credit on your credit card or maybe store credit? :lol:

[robster77]

Got my order in at around 2:00 and it worked. Even got my invoice for $10.87 shipping emailed to me. When I tried to go back and order a pair for my wife just now, it appears the deals is dead. Code won't work.

[4flava]

Yeah, deal is dead... just tried it and MAY11 code does not work

[Fantaz]

Oh yes! I got in on the Valentino 1180 for $15. Already when I wanted to order 2nd pair, the Diesel rimless the coupon died. Hope this goes through.

[MeiserT]

Damn.. Missed it. :|

[grape]

grrr just as i finished pickin out my frames... i had internet trouble all morning.. ARRRRRRRHF

[robster77]

grrr just as i finished pickin out my frames... i had internet trouble all morning.. ARRRRRRRHF

Phone or email them and complain. That was my backup plan in case I didn't get mine (but I did after trying and trying). Tell them that you spent half your morning trying to fill the order....yada yada. They should honour it. Needless to say, this was a poorly planned promotion on their part.

[desmundo]

"Shipped" means you'll get your glasses within a couple of months.

I've ordered 3 pairs from these guys thus far and have always received them within 10 business days...

[dieptran]

It looks like the deal is dead but thanks op. tried to order all morning but no luck. Maybe next time

[uwheelsgy]

I've ordered 3 pairs from these guys thus far and have always received them within 10 business days...

Normally 10 business days but when there's a promo like this it can take about a month.

[taliosfalcon]

Normally 10 business days but when there's a promo like this it can take about a month.

I got my free pair from the edmonton promo in 3 business days, as in I ordered (on a monday I believe it was) and they were delivered to me on wednesday, it was awesome.

[Ryvius]

Might be off topic, but does anyone know what the differences between all the lenses that clearly contact offers?

[dealzuser]

I ordered today at 1003 hours and paid at 1005 hours. Haven't been canceled yet. We'll see what happens...

I ordered my first pair (prescription tinted lenses) on April 30. Got an email on May 8 saying that there is a delay in sourcing the lens, and there is a 5-10 business days delay. I guess I probably won't get those for quite a while.

[b1ue_wishes]

Code didn't work for me, so I called and the CSR said they sold the 1000th pair at 12:30pm EST :( Deal is dead!

dang it.

they've got neat stuff too. =(

[Gursk]

Spoke too soon. Just checked the order status online & it was canceled. You think they'd send me an e-mail to say the order was canceled, don't you think?!

Well, seeing that you're from vancouver I wasn't surprised... this deal/freebie was for GTA only.

Can't really blame him for trying. The first post doesn't say anything about having to be in toronto. The metro newspaper does say that they reserve the right to cancel orders that do not meet the criteria.

Toronto area residents
First 1000 orders
New customers only

I ordered not realizing that it was for new customers only. Even though I'm in toronto, I expect my order to be cancelled.I can imagine them getting a lot of angry emails after this.

[FatIndian]

So I just got the invoice. It's kinda confusing. Do I pay it immediately?

Never transacted with a company that made the order BEFORE charging me...

[anola]

Their site is pretty annoying though... as soon as you put your address and coupon code in and then click the next step to see if the coupon code worked and how much it came out to, it automatically confirms that you bought the item whether the coupon worked or not. I apparently ordered glasses from them a few months ago and did not know it until I got them in the mail with a request for payment. I would rather confirm that I want the order by paying for it first then by giving them my address...

[Shastafly]

It's their buy now pay later thing. You can pay right away if you want or pay the invoice when you get your order.

[HowEver]

They advertise their service including letting you try out the glasses before paying. Which is fine but even after they send incomplete orders, you suddenly get a collection notice.

Maybe they will but the OP should have put those details in... the other free giveaways they have done have also been for Vancouver only or Edmonton only or whatever. When i called their rep they said its for new customers because they want to get new people to get a chance to try thier site so that's why they get free glasses.

Yeah, maybe since my order is more expensive they will let mine slip through.. I meet only criteria one, but the other 2 nuah ah.

As well, don't jump for joy till the order is "In Transit" at the Bottom of 3 Icons..

okay, so does that mean while i was checking to see if the coupon code worked or not, i unknowingly ordered 3 pairs of the same glasses for regular price and they are going to be shipped to me even though i haven't paid for them?

[MasterXan]

anyone took a plunge on this deal even though having an appointment with the optometrist in the near future?

lol

cause I did :lol: I got an appointment next week.

but my prescription has been stable for the last 3 years so hopefully it's not much a big deal.

:lol::lol:

[ix3katz]

yah their system is confusing..i ordered from them before
i suggest you contact customer service
they're pretty fast
you can order via contact customer service instead if anything... or ask them to check the status for u

[sidseven]

If you didn't get an order number, then it didn't go through. You are able to check to see if the code worked without ordering.

If you didn't get an order number, then it didn't go through. You are able to check to see if the code worked without ordering.

i recieved e-mails with the following title: Clearly Contacts - Order #XXXXXXXX Confirmation

kinda strange if they do in fact send you the glasses before you make a payment.
what's stopping someone from sending a bunch of glasses to some unknowing person's address?

.. i wonder if the guy placing the glasses into the box for shipment will wonder why he just put 3 of the exact same glasses into a box.

[sidseven]

i recieved e-mails with the following title: Clearly Contacts - Order #XXXXXXXX Confirmation

Well, in that case, I think you have to call and cancel them, I'm not sure if there's a way to cancel online. When I ordered, I was able to check that the coupon worked, before hitting the last 'continue' button.

[ever]

hah okay i called and cancelled the orders .. they didn't even ask why.
thanks for your help sid.

that's too bad... Did you check the order status on the website earlier? Did they say it was "being shipped" and then cancel your order?

[pink_panda]

me too! i just got the same email. i'm so sad...

i live in scarborough...but it's in the GTA. i don't understand...i'm calling them right now.

edit: okay, i just called and they said that my order has already sent to the manufacturers and it's good to go. lol. wtf??

[bonita!]

it was my FIRST time ordering and they cancelled. i called in to inquire why and the CS hung up on me:|

[Drawbar]

One pair cancelled but the second one is good so far.

technically no. how should i explain this....the "first" time i ordered from them was a mistake (back in 2006). i was just checking their site and wanted to know how much it'll be. i didn't know when i clicked on submit, the order would go through. so i called them to cancel.

still confused, the CSR said the deal was dead at 12:30. but i ordered at 10:45 am. i paid by phone (around 2:00 pm) and just got the email now. the CSR doens't know why i got the email either. i checked the online status and my order is still saying "order is being shipped". :confused:

maybe you should try and call them too.

actually oddly enough they only go by client name. and to the post before, no i didn't get a deal before because i had ordered contact lenses at full price from them just 2 weeks ago (which took forever to arrive).

My order was cancelled too. But I called and the CSR said that many people have called about the same thing. Apparently some of the orders were duplicated and that ONE of them is cancelled while the other one is being processed. The order number that they said was still being processed is the order number they tell you in the email that they cancelled. Best of luck to you guys.

I'm not living in Toronto, either. I live in London. This morning I just got the glasses! Still need to pay $15 though.
Bingo!!!:cheesygri

Could you guys post the time you placed your orders? :razz:

[pink_panda]

Could you guys post the time you placed your orders? :razz:

10:45 am EST

i missed the delivery today :( but they will try again tomorrow :)

[Hugh Jass]

Mine are at home waiting for me. I ordered around 9am.

Who in their right mind is going to pay full whack for glasses once they know about this site?

[bokep]

Do they have these free glasses promotions often?

My dad's new job has worse benefits than his old. I'm sure he'd appreciate paying $15 for a pair of glasses.

[3weddings]

Ugh..I ordered mine 2 weeks ago today (1 pair glasses 1 pair sunglasses) and got an email saying it'd be at least 10 more days!! Not happy! I already had free express shipping and that's what they are offering me to make up for it.

[bonita!]

mine are still being 'shipped':( I have not gotten an email from them yet.

[Bordello]

My order is still "In Fulfillment" stage for the last couple of days. Didn't receive any cancellation email. Should I even bother calling them to see what's going on?

[3weddings]

I figured my sunglasses were holding things up, and asked if my glasses were ready could they ship those and the sunglasses later (they offered the free express shipping I already had with my order) and I just got word they are shipping today! The sunglasses will likely be another 9 working days!!

[bonita!]

OT question but:

I have a high prescription (-6.25 near sighted meaning i cannot see far) and when i wear my glasses my eyes appear smaller. Like the opposite that happens when far sighted people look like they have big eyes because of the magnification.

If I get thin lenses, will this fix the problem or does this happen regardless the kind of lenses I get?

Thanks!

[tojo]

Order received...wasn't at home, so they just left the box on the front steps. Order looks good, bill was $12.04 out of paypal from the credit I got from signing up for the American Express business card (along with 25,000 bonus Aeroplan points).

Can't see myself ever paying $250+ for a pair of glasses again :cheesygri.

[gamer123]

i ordered at like 2pm due to site being slow/down. i got the confirmation and made the payment immediately, hopefully they'll ship it out :)

[Hugh Jass]

Mine was 'in fullfilment' last night and they appeared at my house today. Not too shabby, ordered May 11th, arrived 14th.

Glasses came in a glasses box and also a soft drawstring carrycase. They even included a neat little tool for fixing them.

Overall very impressed and won't even think of looking elsewhere next time I need specs.

[Flix3r]

I also just received the e-mail that it was shipping after receiving an e-mail form them informing me my order had been canceled since I was not from Toronto! I'm pretty happy :D

[4flava]

WHOOT WHOOT WHOOT!!!.. Put 2 seperate orders and both are ready to ship.. the gf is gonna be impressed.. I hope I get laid :D

[nounou23]

First I get this email

"Thank you for order (order #: xxxxxxxx). We regret to inform you that we are unable to complete your glasses order because it did not qualify with the terms and conditions of our Toronto free glasses giveaway promotion"

Today I got this

"Thank you for placing your order (order number xxxxxxxx) with ClearlyContacts.ca. Your order was shipped to you on 05-14-2009"

Thanks OP for the coupon.

Gotta love clearlycontacts :)

[strangeepiphany]

My glasses came today! They're very nice, and the price definitely can't be beat. :D

[yellman]

Got my glasses today, it says I owe them $113 for the glasses. Yet says the unit price is free. Any thoughts?

[jerryhung]

My glasses came today! They're very nice, and the price definitely can't be beat. :D

Got my Gucci order today via Canada Post

Very impressed, best $15 glasses I will ever see

[bug]

My glasses were shipped today and are due to arrive on Tuesday. I ordered these: https://www.clearlycontacts.ca/glasses/frames/valentino-1153-bakelite/prod23353.html

[gamer123]

i envy you all, mine is still in progress!

[Fantaz]

mine too, still says in progress. they're probably going to make the lenses next week. man, if I really get these Valentino 1180 glasses I'm going to literally wear them every single day! :cheesygri

[MrDisco]

the one order they allowed (which unfortunately wasn't my first pick of frames) is still stuck in stage 2 :(

For those who got their frames post pics!

[RFDFan33]

is this still alive? I'm trying to order but my coupon doesn't show up.

[4flava]

is this still alive? I'm trying to order but my coupon doesn't show up.

This thread is in expired deals for a reason. :D

[RFDFan33]

i know but people were having success still - that's why I was asking.

[4flava]

i know but people were having success still - that's why I was asking.

You miss understood.. ppl were having success with their orders placed on that day go through either them not being in the GTA or placing their order after 12:30 that day because technically the 1000 pairs sold out at 12:30 and only GTA orders were supposed to be honoured.

[gamer123]

i suppose you can try MAY16, 17, etc lol

[renegadeavenger]

my g/f and me received our glasses. We paid for fedex shipping though.

[3weddings]

Got 1/2 my order this morning from clearlycontacts and am impressed with the quality of them and how thin they are. My last pair of (retail) glasses were much thicker even though I paid handsomely to have thinner lenses.

Thanks RFD for creating a glasses addict now!!

[dealcatcher]

Thanks op, I'm in GVR and the order went thru... it's already shipped and fedex picked up the package already.... will receive on tues!!!!!!!!!

[Bordello]

Just got the notice of shipping email. I selected the Canada Post Xpresspost shipping option.

Hope the frame is suitable for my face. This is the first time I bought glasses without trying them on first. It's a gamble.

[bug]

Received my free glasses this morning. They're a little shorter than I expected But I'll get used to them I guess. The arms will need some adjusting though. I wish they would include frame/lens height in their frames specs.

[4flava]

This is great.. just received first pair that I ordered and it's top notch quality!.. the lenses are also very nice and thin and I didn't upgraded. :cheesygri

I wonder when's their next promo like this one???:razz:

[Punky Hunky]

Received my free glasses this morning. They're a little shorter than I expected But I'll get used to them I guess. The arms will need some adjusting though. I wish they would include frame/lens height in their frames specs.

Got mine today as well and they're great quality but they are a little short too. Does anyone know where I can get them adjusted? Can we just take them into Lenscrafters? I think they would be perfect after a little adjustment.

[sidseven]

I just checked my order status and my glasses shipped this morning by FedEx, they should arrive tomorrow morning. I didn't receive a shipping email from clearlycontacts though.

[drumhead]

My wife got her Gucci's last Friday. She still can't believe how cheap they were.

[gamer123]

In @#$%)(* Progress :mad:

[4flava]

In @#$%)(* Progress :mad:

Let me guess.. you chose for Canada Post shipping??

It sounds like they're getting all the Fedex orders out first as the order I just received was sent via Fedex but my Canada Post order haven't shipped yet and it was the 1st order that I put through.

[sotypical]

My order process actually went BACK a step today. It has been at step 2 all week and now it is step 1. I got free Fed-Ex shipping with my order, so hopefully something will happen soon.

nah i ordered fedex shipping as well. i did however ordered at like 2pm so thats probably why. and idk if calling in would have any (negative) effect on the progress

[Ryvius]

Is there different status in step 2? I am getting the "Prep for Shipping.", does that means it will ship within today or tommorow?

[bokep]

You guys need to chill the **** out.

Never in my life have I seen so many people spazzing out over shipping updates prior to RFD.

[4flava]

nah i ordered fedex shipping as well. i did however ordered at like 2pm so thats probably why. and idk if calling in would have any (negative) effect on the progress

I also ordered around 1:30 ish.

I guess just be patient... it's really worth the wait.

Maybe you just picked a very popular frame.

[pink_panda]

they ship using FedEx and Canada Post.

FedEx Express takes 1 day (or even less) for shipping.

Canada Post will take about 2 to 3 days.

I live in Scarborough, and when my order was shipped on Wednesday night, I got it next day before 12pm. Note, Clearly Contacts ship from Vancouver. So I guess most ppl who used FedEx as their shipping option will get it sooner.

[gamer123]

ETA Tmr 12pm!! :D

as a matter of fact, i did call in and the rep told me it should be shipped out by the end of the week. few hrs later i got the email notification!

o btw, when i track online with clearlycontacts its still in progress

[4flava]

There was a placard from Fedex at my door. I guess it's them

[Siefer999]

got my shipping notice this afternoon.

[cyc1120]

Don't know if it happened to anyone else here... but "a friend" received the free pair of glasses afterall (not from Toronto)...

[4flava]

Yeah, apparantly some from the west coast and the prairies were able to receive them. :D .. maybe they're just clearing out overstocked items.

[MasterXan]

I didn't get a shipping notice but when I tracked my order, it's already been shipped.

how long does it take to get here usually?

[an0nymz]

same for me yesterday. The status changed on their website first, then I got an email notification later in the day.

Now it's "on vehicle for delivery" via FedEx, yay! :D

[v8boi]

I received mine in Montreal today!!!
I ordered 2
they cancelled one

[zoolander]

Might make some Torontonians upset, but it's nice to know people outside of the GTA got them. Other than to hit a dense area, makes no sense they advert for major cities when broadband penetration in Canada is fairly high. They potentially lose exposure to many marketable areas. They should promo province to province and their IT dept should ensure that it's new customers only.

[gamer123]

got it, now need to figure out how to adjust it so that it fits properly. do stores do this for free?

[mok86]

still waiting on mine...prob cause i got mine tinted :(

[sotypical]

Seeing as there is a Vancouver promo today I thought I would call to check on my order... only to find out it has been cancelled. And I was never notified or refunded. Nice.

And they wouldn't let the order go through today using the promo code for my area because I have ordered contacts from them before.

All well. It was worth a shot.

[MrDisco]

got my pair today. very very impressed with the package - top notch stuff. on the down side i hate how the frames look and they're a little too small :( wonder if they'll let me exchange it for a different frame.

[4flava]

different frame = different lenses.. you're being too picky on "free" glasses my friend.

[Punky Hunky]

Same thing happened to me. You can exchange it for a different frame once, after that you have to pay full price because of the free glasses deal.

[angui]

what a nice pair of glasses that came by fedex today! plus the 15 day invoice payment date makes it even better!

[MrDisco]

different frame = different lenses.. you're being too picky on "free" glasses my friend.

How they conduct their business is well their business. I only care about my satisfaction. If they want my repeat business they'll do what it takes, they can chalk it up to the pitfalls of buying fashion items online. At this point I would much rather pay the full retail price for glasses and get the top notch service I get locally.


Same thing happened to me. You can exchange it for a different frame once, after that you have to pay full price because of the free glasses deal.

Thanks I'll phone them tomorrow and see what they say.

[gamer123]

so you called in for an exchange, and had fedex to pick it up?

[zoolander]

No they email you a shipping label that you tape to your box to send back. Then you drop it off at a depot of whatever company they used.

[MasterXan]

Damn Fedex guy left my glasses on the porch.

Anyways, just got my glasses.

It's cool that they gave me an extra cloth and a tool to tighten the screws.

anyone got glasses to fit their face perfectly? cause mine doesn't and i hope the local optical shops would calibrated it for me even though I didn't purchase anything from them. :lol:

i know Lenscrafters do adjustments for free, even if you didn't buy the glasses from their store.

[dodokid]

hey,
did anyone receive their glasses with the 1.50 Standard Lens and had a prescription of 2.75 to 3.00? is it on the thick side? they said its only recommended for prescriptions under 2.00..

[MrDisco]

so you called in for an exchange, and had fedex to pick it up?

I just called in and had mine exchanged to a different pair. They picked up the cost to ship back and he waived the shipping fee on the new pair. i did have to pay $30 to upgrade to 1.67 lens - oh well still pretty darn cheap.

What's amazing is that they're also cross-shipping the order and he also gave me one extra free exchange due to my concerns about the frames fitting properly.

Pretty impressed so far with their service.

[gamer123]

yea actually i made the exchange 2 days ago. well have to wait for new pair again

[xstatik]

They are a bunch of scammers! They are canceling order and not informing anyone.. My order and my friends orders were canceled with no explanation! (we both live in 905) A call to their customer service got nowhere other to inform me that the order was cancelled! They don't even send a notification!
Way to go, Clearly Contacts, a great way to piss off potential customers by offering free glasses and then backing out!
I would never use these guys for anything!

yea i called and they said its getting prepped..takes 10-16 days for tinted lenses :D

[darkprince]

ClearlyContacts is awesome! Even better then your local glasses hut/store!

They delivery the goods within days, unlike the local guys take over weeks if not months to get contacts/glasses ready.

I like how to charge only after the goods are sent! =D

I managed to get 2 free pairs from them and I was extremely impressed with the quality and how quickly I received em.

I just bought another pair yesterday for myself... I used the 20% off code =D

Maybe you were too late to order...?

I ordered with the wrong prescription. Contacted their customer service, they gave me a return label and will send back my glasses with new lenses. So far their customer service is awesome IMO. Hopefully they deliver on their promise.

Oh and it was delivered to a 905 address as well.

I had really good experience with them. I called them to change the prescription like a week after I placed this order and although they have it done and ready to ship, they modified for my immediately.

I'm in the 905 area as well.

I deserved to have my order cancelled but I was never told either, nor was I refunded. I called to find out my order had been cancelled and "oh, we will give you a refund". IMO the refunded should have happened when the order was cancelled, not later.

They also wouldn't let me participate in the one for my area because I have ordered from them before.

In my case I am pretty sure they have lost me as a customer, and I used to buy from them all the time - and recommend them to everyone i could. I used to buy all my contacts and have bought glasses. I was happy with the glasses in the beginning but then they started giving headaches and it was too late to return.

I know it was a free product, and canceling my order was okay. But send me an email and give me a refund... I shouldn't have to call.

[Bordello]

I swear people are getting bitchier every day.

I love my "free" glasses (paid $30 something for the lens upgrade). They've won me as a customer. I'll definitely buy glasses from them in the future. Too bad their selection of sunglasses is so minuscule or else I'd order a pair.

[Shastafly]

Pretty strange that you didn't get a cancellation email - maybe it got stuck in a junk folder. If you read the thread, tons of people got them so they were obviously sending them out. They will refund your money, too, if they cancel your order. I think it's probably taking longer because so many people who were not qualified tried to order anyway, so they have lots of refunds to do.

I guess that's just what happens with the RFD effect... lots of people trying to scam when they don't qualify = longer turnaround times to deal with cancelled orders.
