I got a pair of glasses through this deal previously and they are great. Not crazy high quality frames but the lenses are good and you can't beat the price or service.

For some reasons, any frame that I choose shows the same error message.

No compatibility

The prescription you entered is not compatible with any of the lenses available to this frame

I guess my prescription is just too high for them to handle

I think this deal is more of YMMV.

Everyone's prescription is different and I loaded mine into the shopping process just for kicks.

I have a very strong prescription and the system forces you into specific lenses which I really hate. I get for the common user who doesn't know how to read an eye prescription and what lens type to get, it makes sense that the system makes recommendations, but forcing you to select a lens type that you know that you don't need at all, is just as bad as a sales associate at the optical centers telling you need specific lenses for your prescription. This drives me crazy.

So after I loaded my prescription into the shopping cart, used the promo code, the glasses are not free plus shipping. I still have to pay another 60 dollars on top. Realistically this deal should say, "discount up to 99.00 dollars". Only people with small, weaker prescriptions for single vision can get the free frames and lenses together. If you're a -/+ 2.00 diopter in your sphere this promo is better suited for you. For the rest of us who have stronger prescriptions, or require bifocals or progressive lenses, expect to NOT get free glasses. Heck, if you have prism in your glasses, this site doesn't even give you the option to put your prescription in the shopping cart fields. You'll need to call it in, and that's if they offer you that option.

Sorry OP, this one isn't ringing for me, and I think for others too.

Thanks OP, have heard of this before but finally decided to give it a try. Ordered a set and the frames balanced out for free so only paid for the 1.67 blue light lenses for $89. Free shipping.

$60 is the cheapest option for lens for my prescription too, but great deal for those with weaker prescriptions

I took advantage of the RFD promo the other week. Paid $9.99 for shipping for a free pair of glasses and very happy with them. Would recommend

They used to include premium lens and coatings for free, but now those are extras raising the price up. Still a good deal.

$38.95 for me including shipping, but I see no mention of tax. Zenni would be cheaper in this case, and I actually have had a great experience with them.
Zenni would be $19.90, and any additional pair would only be $10 more, instead of $100 from Kits.

I had the same problem, ended up ordering through zenni optical, frames were 20-40$ and 1.57 lenses were free if you used single vision (i am -8 diopters) and I personally paid 37$ total
I think kits might be better value since you get better lenses, but their frames are too ugly at -8 diopters

Why it makes me to choose the blue light blocking lens which cost $29? It is not free (+shipping) if opting it out is not an option. It is -$99 wtih selected frames, not free.

I was browsing Kits.ca today and they had a deal today on $99 off progressive lenses, so that makes them the same price as single vision. Plus, the frames I chose were on sale, so I'm looking at under $40 shipped.
