Your Order

Your order is processed through our website, we will require your payment method which will only be stored within our server if you choose it to be, where it will be kept according to our Privacy Policy. Once the payment is processed we will send a confirmation email to the email address you provided. 

Limitations of Supply

We will make reasonable effort to make sure that all of orders are fulfilled and that any product unavailable has the appropriate notification. However we cannot guarantee the availability of all goods, if the goods you have ordered are unavailable we will attempt to contact you with the information you have provided us to give you a choice to receive an alternative or a refund.  If we are unable to contact you, your Order will be cancelled and you will be given a full refund.

We have absolute discretion on whether to accept your order, as does Frames Foundry's optician.

Prices and Payment

We do not charge VAT on our products, so the price you see does not include any VAT on our spectacles or other eyewear. We will use best endeavours to ensure the accuracy of the prices and price related information stated in our current catalogue and on the Site. However we cannot guarantee that we will not make a mistake and misprice an item inadvertently. If this is the case, the Dispensing Optician reviewing and authorising your Order will notify you of the error before your payment is processed. You will then have the choice to either accept the correct price or to cancel your Order.

The price you pay is a retail price as appearing in your basket. In certain territories where we sell, we are required to report part of the sale price to the relevant tax jurisdiction and pay that amount in tax. We do not adjust our prices depending on the sales tax suffered which varies from country to country. And we do not add tax to any amount shown in your basket. In some delivery countries there may be rules imposed locally that will charge import VAT to the purchaser. Glasses Direct is unable to provide any refunds for such costs.

Your Prescription

All prescriptions will be looked over by our registered optician, they will verify the numbers and look for any errors or delays. We will contact you if we need to discuss details further. By filling in your prescription form you certify that the prescription is no older than two years, you are 16 years or older and you are not registered blind or partially sighted.  You have also confirmed that your details are entered correctly, and you are happy no errors have been made.

If you need any help with your prescription please visit our Prescription Guide.
