Fitting was frustrating

Fitting was frustrating, and a shambles. I was greeted and told I had no appointment - rubbish, the date was set following the consultation a week previously, "driving" glasses had not been delivered and these are very necessary for me. If no appointment, how come half my prescription was available? Specsavers really messed this one up and shattered the. previous good perception my wife and I had formed over the years. The good folk of Minehead deserve better, there are options for the (largely) mature residents to patronise . Specsavers, you have disappointed us! Mike Rutty.

Forfar branch is always very welcoming…

Forfar branch is always very welcoming on arrival and every member of staff carry out their tasks with the utmost professionalism. My test by Blair was comprehensive and his explanation of it was excellent and in a manner easy to understand. Overall a great experience

I’m a customer of your Burwood store…

I’m a customer of your Burwood store and I have to say that every time I go mainly to get my glasses adjusted because I’m always knocking them,from the moment I walk in until the moment I walk out the staff are always very nice and helpful and very professional. I was there yesterday your staff member called Eric went above and beyond to get my glasses right.
Also I would like to say thank you to Scott Jack and Rodello for their great customer service to.
It’s always a pleasure to go to your store.
Kind regards
Sarina

Amazing

I went to Specsavers in the Gyle, Edinburgh after I damaged my glasses. I thought I'd lost a screw. When they inspected them, they said that the screw was buckled and they couldn't remove it. I was absolutely astounded when they offered to completely replace the frames and transfer the lenses over. 10 minutes later and I had a new pair of glasses. The frames are Jeff Banks and weren't cheap. I've not received such a wonderful customer service in years.

Brixton, Friendly, professional

Easy to book online, open early on Sundays, helpful staff clean bright premises, Yasmeen assisted me as she has done for many years, always friendly and helpful, showing me frames I might like and helping me to choose a suitable pair. Optician was friendly and reassuring.
When I collected my glasses Muhammed assisted me he was friendly and helpful, overall my experience at the Brixton store was excellent.

Rude staff in kirkstall

Dear Manager,
I am writing to make a formal complaint regarding the cancellation of my appointment at your branch without any prior notice.
I had arranged my work schedule around this appointment and, as a result, I lost the opportunity to work overtime. I made the necessary arrangements to attend the appointment at the agreed time, only to find that it had been cancelled because the branch employees wanted to leave work early due to the Bank Holiday.
I find this extremely disappointing and unacceptable. If an appointment needs to be cancelled or the branch is planning to close earlier than usual, customers should be informed in advance. Cancelling an appointment at short notice, particularly for the convenience of staff, has caused me unnecessary inconvenience and financial loss.
I would appreciate it if you could investigate this matter and explain why my appointment was cancelled without giving me prior notice. I would also like to know what steps will be taken to ensure that this does not happen to other customers in the future.
I have always expected a professional standard of customer service from Specsavers, and I hope this matter will be taken seriously.
I look forward to receiving your response.
Yours sincerely,
Issac Umman 07772324510

This is an update from my last review

This is an update from my last review. I got one pair of glasses corrected last week and I eas informed the second pair would be ready this week but as normal after they take your money the service goes down hill. My se and pair won't be ready for a couple of weeks now. I have one pair and if they get damaged I no spare to go to. The after service is really not what I expected. I wouldn't recommend them for any future work.
