Online prescription glasses return policies: what to check

Separate a fit change from an order error

A retailer may treat a change of mind, a frame you chose that does not fit as expected, an incorrect item and a manufacturing error differently. Look for the actual conditions rather than relying on a broad phrase such as “easy returns.”

Check whether the policy covers prescription orders, frame-only purchases or both. Custom lenses can have different terms. Read the policy before paying, and keep a copy of your order details.

Ask what the return outcome would be

Look for the difference between a refund to the original payment method, store credit, an exchange and a remake. Check the reporting deadline, whether prior approval is required, and any instructions for sending the glasses back.

• Which reasons qualify?
• When does the reporting period start?
• What evidence or order reference is needed?
• Should you contact the store before mailing anything?
• What remedy is offered for a qualifying problem?

Know the Fast Eyeglasses policy before ordering

Our prescription pairs are custom-made. We do not accept change-of-mind, style or fit returns. Lens options you selected, incorrect prescription or PD entries, and a prescription that has expired or changed are not treated as a retailer manufacturing error.

Qualifying lab errors, wrong items, defects or shipping damage are handled under our remake and refund policy. Report the problem within 14 days of delivery with your order reference, a description and clear photos. Contact us first rather than mailing the glasses back without instructions.

For the exact conditions and remedy, read the full policy and prescription and remake terms. This checklist does not replace those terms.

Reduce avoidable fit and selection problems

Compare lens width, bridge width and temple length with a comfortable pair. Check the bridge design, available colors and photographs. Equal measurements do not guarantee identical fit, and a screen image is not a physical try-on.

Review each lens option and the entered prescription before paying. If a color, measurement or lens choice is unclear, ask first. The fit comparison guide helps you organize the questions.

Keep the order information after delivery

Save your order reference, frame name, color, size and lens selections. If the glasses arrive damaged, keep the packaging and photograph the problem. Share the information requested by the store so it can compare the received pair with your order.

For cancellation at Fast Eyeglasses, contact us promptly with the order reference. Cancellation is available only before lenses enter production. Production timing is separate from carrier transit, so do not infer a cancellation window from the delivery estimate.

Use the complete buying checklist to check fit, price, shipping and policies as one decision.
