Seriously THE ABSOLUTE WORST LensCrafters in existence. I wish I could give this place ZERO stars.
The ladies that work the sales floor are lovely, but there is ALWAYS a freaking problem at this location!!
I've been going to this location for years (I guess I'm just a glutton for punishment), because I love the optometrist there, but the LensCrafters portion of the business is an absolute joke.
For the past 7+ years, I've been upsold on scratch resistant and anti-glare coatings, only to have 1 lens or the other bubble after a few months, and when I bring the lenses back it's always a fiasco to get them replaced.
"What are you cleaning them with" is the question I always get, and my response is always the same, "the solution and cleaner wipes that you sell in the store." It's gotten to the point that bring in my receipt of the half dozen times I go in there to purchase these things when bringing in the glasses with the defective lenses ... and it's never both lenses, it's always one or the other (often times the same lenses on the same side will go bad several times), if I was doing something wrong, you'd think that both lenses would bubble.
Yesterday, it was time for my annual eye exam, and of course I have to get new glasses. This time I opt for no frills lenses, I was told they were in stock, and my glasses would be ready by 3 pm the following day.
Day goes by, no call, so I call the store at 4:30, and OF COURSE my glasses aren't ready, because the lenses aren't in stock (even after I was told they were when I was there just yesterday), but they have them in the Aventura store, and apparently it's going to take 7 days for the lenses to travel from the LensCrafters from Aventura to the one in Sawgrass.
This is after I SPECIFICALLY told them that I had to have at least 1 pair of my glasses for work on Monday. If they would have told me that the lenses were only available in Aventura, I would have gladly taken the glasses there myself.
Of course apologies were extended, blah, blah, blah. The lady that helped me even offered to go to Aventura to pick up the lenses ... why wasn't that thought of BEFORE I called in 1.5 hours AFTER my glasses were supposed to have been ready, only to be told they weren't going to be ready for another 7 days? And exactly why would it take 7 days to travel 22.6 miles (I checked) from one store to another?
Hey, here's a thought ... contact an UBER or a LYFT and have the lenses brought to the Sawgrass store!
AT THE VERY LEAST, once you figure out you've made a mistake about the lenses not being in stock (we're all human, I get it), CALL ME, so i can at least pick up 1 pair of glasses and go to work in the morning, and then switch them out.
I guess, common sense is just beyond these folks!!!
So here I am Sunday, at 4:30, no glasses, and I have to report to work at 8 am in the morning tomorrow, half blind.
After receiving my glasses, I'm never stepping foot in this store again, other than to have my eyes examined by the doctors there.
I'll go get my glasses some place else, where the people are actually competent, even if I have to pay twice as much and travel 3 times the distance.

EDIT/UPDATE ... low and behold, after all the crap from this afternoon, ( I was told they actually found a pair of lenses with my prescription in stock ) ... so on top of everything else, they don't even know what their stock is.
MADONEE !!!
Once again, apologies were extended, and while Marta ( the young lady that helped me), told me this was all her fault, I calmly made it perfectly clear they've lost a customer permanently this time.
It's absolutely ridiculous, that any customer should have this many continuous problems at any business. read more
