Very happy customer

Really happy with my first time using selectspecs I opted for £6 frames then once I’d chosen the lenses I wanted it came to £31 very reasonable in comparison to the opticians, my order took around 8 days which was fine, well packed with protective case, good fit , lens's spot on, no complaints, will be ordering prescription sunglasses nearer the summer too.
I know there are a few that have reviewed them to break easily but that may be right but you could also break an expensive pair easily , I know which I would rather be replacing .
Thanks selectspecs good service
