  I have ordered contact lenses online from contactsforless.ca on a number of occasions in the past without issue - slight delay in getting the contacts but I could live with that during those previous instances. On February 20, 2025, I purchased two sets of Acuvue Hydraluxe contact lenses from contactsforless.ca for a total of $203.54. These contact lenses are for my daughter ********* I paid with my credit card. On February 24, 2025 I received an email from them:"Hello ******* we wanted to let you know that due to a very high volume of sales, your particular product and/or prescription is currently out of stock in our warehouse in ****************, BUT PLEASE DON'T WORRY! Your product should be back in stock shortly, depending the manufacturer, the product and the parameters of your order.According to the manufacturer information, WE CAN ANTICIPATE HAVING YOUR PRODUCT BACK IN STOCK WITHIN 5-15 DAYS. We will keep you informed about your order as often as possible..."I asked for free trial lenses because my daughter was going to run out of contact lenses and I needed to cover the gap. I still had not heard anything on March 4, 2025 and asked for an update. I received a tracking number and received the trial lenses a number of days later (unknown exactly how many). On March 11, 2025, I reached out via email looking for an update on the back ordered purchased lenses. I heard nothing back. On March 17, 2025 I asked for a refund because there was no indication that the lenses would be delivered. I had to buy them somewhere else because my daughter needs them asap. I left two voice messages (March 17&18, 2025) and have heard nothing. Numerous online complaints about this company doing this exact thing to numerous persons (reviews on TrustPilot). From reading the reviews, it appears that contactsforless was well aware that they had no stock for a while before my purchase, said nothing about it, and still took my money. I want a refund. Shady business.

  I made an order for contacts on February 1, 2025. On February 7, ******************************************************************************************* get a refund. I asked for a refund. They replied Feb 11 saying I could get free trials while I wait, k replied with wanting a refund as I placed an order elsewhere. I had no reply. I phone and left numerous messages and had no calls back. I emailed again and I got a response on Feb 24 stating they could offer me an additional discount if I wanted to wait and I said no I want the refund. I had no response. I emailed again on March 3 stating I wanted a refund. On March 5 I got an email back stating they could offer me additional discounts again. I again asked for a refund. They finally agreed and said it would be processed the following week. I have not received the refund and they said their system doesnt refunds weekly and only in order of purchase. I have also not received any more contact from them. I left another messages today as well as more emails requesting a refund.

  I was contacted by this company after placing an order that the contacts I ordered were backordered for three weeks. I told them to cancel my order but was also relieved that it was cancelled because it was the wrong prescription. I ended up getting the package and it only contained half of the order that did not have the prescription verified. **************** would not refund me for the missing box and not provide a return label for the item that is not my prescription. They then called me a liar.

  We will reply with the exact same response when this customer started SPAMMING our trustpilot review page, and lying about both the facts and how we responded to her.

  "This customer confirmed she ordered a product that turned out to be wrong due to her own error. We asked her and she confirmed the product, but since it was a 0.00 power, it didn't require verification, so we confirmed the product with the customer. After confirming the product was correct to our team, she is now lying that it is our mistake. Furthermore she was sent the product she ordered (we confirmed it by the weight of the package sent) and is now also lying about what she received. She is no longer welcome to shop at Contacts For Less. When we encounter blatantly dishonest customers, we simply don't allow them to be customers going forward. We run a very, very ethical company."

  This customer will receive a refund when she returns the product, undamaged and unopened. We believe the reason she is even creating these lies is because she has either damaged or opened the product and is trying to avoid paying for them.

  Please provide proof of the item weight as mentioned. 

  The speculation from the business is incorrect and unprofessional.

   

  The facts are as followed

  The business sent me an email stating my item was on back order for three weeks.

  I was told I could cancel the order or wait. I chose to cancel.

   

  I received the order anyways, however it was only half of the order.

   

  The prescription was never verified according to United states law. United states law requires any and all contacts regardless of power to be verified. Due to this lapse in process from the company I subsequently received the wrong item.

   

  The company refuses to provide return shipping for there error and refund for missing product.

  
  Sincerely,

  I have attached two files. This claim is incorrect. The customer both received a receipt via PDF, and even received an email response to a question. This customer is straight out lying and will be banned from ordering from us in the future. They received the product and you have proof of such attached. You may communicate to the customer that we are going to not process orders from this customer in the future. We cannot tolerate customers who attempt to receive products and then receive refunds afterwards in a fraudulent manner.

  Complaint: ********
  
  
  
  I am rejecting this response because:

  It is agreed the order was received.
  BUT the company sent the wrong prescription.
  Boxes are marked per the order placed, but inside the contact lens is Different.
  That is why the complaint was made to BBB and next complaint will be made to the
  credit card company !
  The company/ suppliers are incapable of processing / manufacturing the correct order.

  *** ******* ** ***** *** *** *** **********

   

  Here is another email sent by the company asking to return the item and then they wil see ??

  This customer has been informed that they are free to RETURN any products that are undamaged or unopened for a full refund. If this customer has evidence that the wrong product was included in the box, then they must RETURN the product to us and if it is true (which is highly unlikely), then we will reimburse this customer for both the cost of the product and any cost of shipping the product to us. If the customer wishes to get a way-bill to send all of the products to us for this process to work, then the customer must contact our customer service team to get a way-bill. The customer has done NONE Of these actions and we believe that this claim is either a misunderstanding on the part of the customer or is a false claim. If the customer wishes to solve this issue, the ONLY way to do this is to send the product to us ASAP to confirm their claim that somehow the manufacturer put the wrong product in the product box. In my 13+ years working in this field, I have never seen such a thing, so we are eager to see if the customer is filing a false claim or if the claim is in fact valid. So far, the customer has been uncooperative and has not operated as they should in order to file a proper claim regarding their order. They are simply filing complaints, which does nothing to solve this matter.
