What an amazing team…

What an amazing team over there at William Painter! First off, I’ve had The Hook sunglasses since 2017! They’ve obtained some scratches and paint wear over the course of 7 years. After remembering they have a lifetime guarantee, I decided to find out how to redeem it. Sutton responded to my request super fast, was extremely helpful, nice, and processed my request way faster than I expected. From start to finish, I received my new shadies in 5 days! Now to put this new pair through the test, of time!!! Thank you William Painter! Your team rocks!

Unfaultable

Excellent products which I am purchasing again as nothing better on the market and their lifetime replacement warranty is unmatched in the industry.

Staff are extremely helpful with rapid postage and smooth transaction process.

Will continue using them again in the future for all my sunglasses purchases.

Best Sunglasses, Best Customer Service

They are an AMAZING company. Phenominal products, great purchase value (for what you get), and most importantly: some of the best customer service I have ever had! Just had an order of two sunglasses not arrive due to a USPS issue, so I contacted Sutton from William Painter, told them the situation, and they reshipped a brand new order for free within 24 hours. Get these sunglasses people!

I have so much love for these guys!

I have so much love for these guys! I got my first pair with an amazing deal. But I can absolutely attest that they are worth every penny.

The only reason I have ever needed replacements is because of my kids! 😂 (toddler pulling them apart, teenager sitting on them etc).

This is where the LIFETIME warranty is an absolute godsend. I’ve had to replace them multiple times; and they are the only sunglasses I go to now!

Great company, great products

This is a great company with great products and customer service. I don't want to buy from the corporate giant that monopolizes the glasses industry. When I found WP I was stoked. With a lifetime warranty, they are literally built for life. I am just exchanging a pair I got in 2017 for a new pair. I love that I can do this. Their CS was awesome and really accommodating. Totally recommend!

The best shades of the world by the best shades company.
I have been enjoying them a lot for 4 years and sadly one of the arms broke.
No questions asked at all, i am getting a new pair sent to Peru where i live through the lifetime warranty. Don’t hesitate to buy them. You won’t be disappointed.

I recently damaged my sunglasses and contacted them to send my a new pair. I paid the $49. Warranty fee and are in the process of getting my old pair replaced. Throughout the whole process I dealt with a person (Sutton) who has been so professional. I've sent several emails and each time Sutton answered ALL my questions and concerns. (Some one needs to give this person a raise) I really never write reviews, but felt this transaction needed one. Thank you so much Sutton for making my experience feel so comfortable.

Great Experience!

I recently received two pairs of sunglasses from William Painter as a Christmas gift but unfortunately, one pair didn’t really suit my style so I wanted to return them. I reached out and they were extremely understanding and helpful and overall, the whole experience wasn’t nearly the headache I was worried it was going to be!

Brittany the Superstar

After a few emails and great help from Brittany, I have to say that she is absolutely professional, kind and thoughtful lady. I am aware of my shortcomings in how I can be sometime hard to deal with, when I become impatient, but it helps so, so much to speak with people like Brittany, who exude the sort of calmness and helpfulness a great company like William Painter reflects in their fantastic products. I wish I was dealing with people like Brittany all the time. Thank you so, so much Brittany. You are a superstar!!! Every good wish, Edward from Ireland.
