Great communication and fast service

My husband needed his specs repaired. We sent them in and because they were not acetate, they couldn't be mended... However Simple Specs emailed us with an alternative/similar frame option and told us they could fit the lenses into the new frame. It was a great suggestion.. the specs came back looking great and they credited us too as the alternative repair was cheaper... Great communication and service!

Chanel reading glasses - excellent repair

My Chanel reading glasses broke at the nose. I contacted Chanel and they told me that they couldn't repair them because they no longer made the parts. I contacted my optician and they could not repair them, and didn't know of any company that could. I resorted to contacting local reputable jewellers that carry out jewellery repairs but they didn't want to attempt to repair them. Fortunately, I discovered Simplespex online and sent them photos of my glasses and they told me that they could repair them. They were sent, repaired and returned within a week and the workmanship is excellent. I highly recommend this company.

Brilliant Service

I sent my glasses to Simplespex having been told they couldn’t be repaired as the spring hinge had broken. They were returned in a week - repaired, cleaned and with a personal note.

I highly recommend Simplespex and will use them in the future.

10/10 experience at SimpleSpex!

10/10 experience at SimpleSpex!
Firstly, George is the best—he’s literally a human Wikipedia for glasses. He knows everything!

I was originally quoted over £200 by Lensology for lenses that weren’t even suitable for me. George explained which lenses would actually work better, and they were half the cost of what I almost spent elsewhere. The turnaround was very quick too.

This is hands down one of the best experiences I’ve had with a company. I genuinely felt listened to and cared for. All my messages were answered quickly and thoroughly, which I really appreciate.

I’ll be getting my glasses reglazed with SimpleSpex from now on, and I’ll be recommending them to all my friends and family :)

If you are looking to save money and at the same time get absolute professional ability and integrity you just found the best GEORGE THE OWNER OF SIMPLESPEX and Co.

Having used Simplespex previously for myself and my wife I automatically returned to George at Simplespex with a very complicated prescription plus my request for "extras". My review of Simplespex is very simple. If you are looking for an online Company where you will save money and at the same time benefit from expert technical knowlege and ability matched to absolute trust integrity where every customer will be treat as a VIP then look no further. I use this review to thank George again for simply wonderful service and perfect new (albeit complicated) glasses.

The best glasses company?!

What a great company. It’s almost shocking, top tier service perfection. I threaded the heads of two screws trying to get the lens out of my glasses. Initially forgot to send them in and when I emailed months later asking if I could send them in on the original invoice and price - replied quickly and no problems at all to send them. I originally ordered two screws to be drilled (I couldn’t imagine how those screws would come out otherwise, ridiculously tight and I completely destroyed the heads in the process). They called me on the phone to explain they were repaired and explained they had managed to remove the screws without drilling and as a result.. provided me a 50% refund because they’d extracted the screws more easily. I don’t think I’ve ever come across a more honest company in my life. Glasses turned around really fast. They were sent back immediately, perfect, new screws and a spare set with not a mark on the glasses and my new lens are now in within a few working days of having posted them to them. Seems like all the trustpilot reviews are equally gushing and they absolutely deserve all of it and more. I couldn’t recommend them more. I’m still amazed there actually are businesses like this that even exist. Superb.
