They made me glasses in less then an hour, and when I had to order them in they were quick. I will be getting my glasses from here exclusively in the future. Highly recommend all their sales people, they really want you to get the best deal. ALso, cannot say enough positive things about the doctor, Ian Scholfield. Best optometrist around, always willing to find you a solution.

RE: Image Optical Woodgrove Mall Nanaimo BC Having bought…read moreone pair of glasses ($400.+) I had to go back because no one there had checked the appropriateness of the prescription for the reading part. Corrected with only a little pushing necessary. Later, I got another pair that will not sit squarely on the face, They are 'superflex' frames and go askew easily, constantly, making reading difficult and nauseating. As well, the bottom frame of the glasses do not fit in the channel of the frame making the glare from the bottom of the lenses brilliant at the bottom of my vision. When I returned to the store I basically got the brush off and there is nothing they can do beyond an adjustment to the ear pieces that does not fix anything. I have taken a felt marker to darken the edge of the exposed lenses at bottom so they don't glare into the eyes. That works though it looks off and if anyone asks I am happy to tell them where I got these substandard glasses. What is the point of having anti glare and transition applied at great expense only to be defeated by glare from the bottom of the lenses??? $400.00 buys a lot of bad advertising.

I have had several things done with them, and have had my share of problems (ring was returned back to me with a crooked head after giving it to them for repairs, stone falling out of setting shortly after receiving pendant back...etc.) but they have also done some work that I'm very happy with. All I know is I deal with them frequently and often feel embarrassed/ashamed when I'm walking up to their counter because the younger goldsmith will often give the older goldsmith a snicker and a look that conveys "oh, great, HER again". Keep in mind I am not a problem customer, simply someone who gets this particular goldsmith to do a lot of work for me. But I guess repeat, paying customers is not what they're in the market for.

Thank you so very much, Windsor Plywood of Parksville!! A little over a year ago my Dad purchased…read morean order of lumber, 2 weeks later he was in a Victoria hospital receiving brain surgery to relieve a condition called, hydrocephalus. Long story, short, the lumber was never delivered, but he is thriving. In fact, he called Windsor Plywood in Parksville today, over a YEAR later, and asked if a partial refund with a restocking fee would be possible. The store manager gave him a FULL refund, no restocking fee, and immediately credited his credit card, which means, as my Dad, so intelligently pointed out, it cost them money in credit card fees twice over and they didn't ask for a dime in consideration! We thought this level of customer service no longer existed. We are so grateful to Windsor Plywood for proving us so wrong. If you need lumber, get it from Windsor Plywood - they treat you right!

However, the UBC MS clinic has been sending reports to this office for years... but no one told me that I was not a patient there any longer. Imagine my surprise when I was repeatedly told by the receptionist that " you are not a patient here and you better find yourself a GP, I learned this when I called needing a referral for a test booked at UBC hospital. If I am not a patient do they get paid to keep my records? Why would they keep accepting reports from a neurologist for a patient with a disease that was no longer their client. This inattention to detail concerns me and it should concern you too. Perhaps it is best that I am no longer under their care. Name with held for fear of discrimination for speaking the truth
