Dear Sunglass Hut Customer Service,…read more I am writing to formally document a highly frustrating and costly experience my husband and I had while attempting to purchase progressive prescription sunglasses through your Scarborough, Maine location (inside Cabela's). We were originally directed by the Kittery Sunglass Hut location to the Scarborough store as the only location capable of handling progressive prescription sunglasses. To confirm, we called ahead and were told this was correct. We were further instructed to arrive after 1:30 PM when the manager, Zach, would be present. Based on this information, we drove approximately 35 miles on Tuesday the 14th, incurring tolls and fuel costs, only to arrive and discover that the manager was not there. Despite this, we worked with two associates. Abby (spelling uncertain) was consistently professional, patient, and knowledgeable. She spent approximately 30 minutes helping us select frames and was the only positive part of the experience. The other associate, however, frequently interrupted, sought attention during our interaction, and made repeated inappropriate comments about the governor, which felt unprofessional and distracting. After selecting frames that we were told should work with progressive lenses, we proceeded to the required iPad-based measurement system. This portion of the experience was extremely problematic. The app required precise camera positioning, which Abby attempted to adjust repeatedly according to the instructions. Despite multiple efforts, the system continuously failed when the glasses were worn. When the glasses were placed on the table, the app functioned. However, as soon as either my husband or I wore them, it stopped working. The repeated attempts resulted in prolonged exposure to the device flashes, to the point that we temporarily experienced visual discomfort ("purple spots" in our vision). After more than an hour of unsuccessful attempts, the second associate contacted the manager, Zach. He ultimately concluded that Abby was not skilled enough to operate the system. From my observation, she was carefully following the app instructions and did not appear to be making errors. At that point, we were offered two options: purchase the frames at a 20% discount and take them to an optometrist ourselves for fitting, or return the following day when Zach would be present. Because of the continued difficulty, we chose to return the next day. On Wednesday morning, I called Zach directly to confirm he would be working. He was present and explicitly stated he was "sure" that if we made another trip, he could get the system to work. He provided reassurance that it would succeed. Trusting this assurance, we made a second trip, incurring an additional approximately $18 in travel costs. Unfortunately, the same system failed again. Despite Zach's confidence that it would work, he was unable to make the process function. In total, we experienced: * Incorrect and inconsistent information from the Kittery location * Misleading instructions about staff availability * Two unnecessary 35-mile trips with toll and fuel expenses ($36 total) * Over an hour of failed technical processing * Physical discomfort from repeated scanning attempts * A second "guaranteed" assurance from management that the system would work, which it did not We want to clearly acknowledge that Abby provided excellent customer service throughout and was patient, professional, and helpful in a very difficult situation. However, the overall experience was inefficient, misleading, and costly, and resulted in significant wasted time and travel due to inaccurate information and repeated system failure. We are requesting: * A different system is put in place so this doesn't happen again * Consider an optometrist * Review of communication practices regarding staff availability and capabilities * Consideration of reimbursement or compensation for our unnecessary travel expenses Thank you for your attention to this matter. I look forward to your response. Sincerely, DT
