Creative Eyewear is awful if you have a problem. Good customer service, including the owner....few employee change in short time - not good.....Long story short - I had them fill my RX for glasses....they fitted the frames i chose from another store...no problem....however, each night before going to sleep when I'd read, I would have to adjust my glasses to be able to read straight....i took glasses back to the store, they refitted them ok and i left....I figured out i had to wear the glasses with one eye higher than the other in order to see correctly...This went on for about 10 more visits to the store...One time the owner's wife was there and found it odd I had to do this, she adjusted the glasses again ( with half the glasses, one eye higher than the other) per my request...Finally, one time I went in and there was a new female employee....she was very concerned I had this problem and told me I shouldln't have to wear my glasses this way....I said, What? She said theres' a problem with either the RX or the lab that made the lens.....Really? I went next door to my optomtrist, explained the issue, waited and came back with a new RX....Went back next door to Creative Eyewear with my Rx....same RX.....Turns out either the lab or Creative Eyewear was to blame for the problem...Employee gladly agreed it was their problem either way and would return my glasses to the lab....It done, after a few weeks wait ( yes, there was a long time problem delivering the glasses - Creative Eyewear failed to mention it was an EXPEDITED ORDER). Good thing I had to stay home anyway because I was sick....When the owner called me to say my glasses were there.....I ran down. nope.....no glasses yet....I had to ask him to call the lab to inquire where my glasses were......he called and was told Next Monday.....They did come in and the owner called me.....I picked up my glasses, but I CAN TELL YOU RIGHT NOW.....THAT WAS ONE ANGRY STORE OWNER......NOPE HE DIDN'T APOLOGIZE.....Needless to say, I didn't go back, and I betcha that female employee who was so helpful in recognizing the problem and offering to fix it, was fired....
Now this owner has been in busines for gawd knows how many years in New Braunfels...always busy when I've been in, always great customer service and helpful.....friendly....etc etc etc......but if something goes wrong and it's his fault and he has to eat the additional lab work.......forget it......There was a noticalbe and palapable change in his demeanor and facial expression....
I would not recommend this to anyone.......I put up with this problem for months, thinking the glasses were not sitting right on my face....made so many trips in there to get them adjusted and they just kept on adjusting.....til that honest lady spoke up and said there's something wrong that needs to be fixed..... read more
