I spent a long time getting my order right - I should have known from the start it was a mistake as I needed multiple emails and phone calls to confirm the details and get the price I was paying to match what they had advertised, before I actually placed the order.

Then a couple of weeks later, without any goods being received or any contact with me, they cancelled my order. They admitted it was a mistake (although with no indication of how anyone could make such a mistake). Clearly's error has left me $250 out of pocket, and they refuse to do anything about it - their customer "service" staff go around in circles offering meaningless excuses but not doing anything to actually fix their mistake, all whilst using infuriating platitudes in their emails like "I hope you're having a great day". I'm guessing they figure it's a small enough amount that I'm not going to waste my time and energy chasing it, and although it's not an insignificant amount to me, they are of course correct - it's not cost effective to try and make them actually do the right thing. Instead they just get away with causing actual financial harm to to their customers, without any care or concern...

Unethical, unprofessional and infuriating - avoid at all costs.

Contacts are defective. Probably froze during shipping. 8 instances of breakage so far it's 50 percent. Clearly will not take them back, offered me a $7.51 refund. I purchased 4 boxes of 90 = $240. They never answer direct questions, I'm pretty sure it's not a human I am corresponding with if it is they don't speak or read English very well. Sound familiar?

Poor service
December 29, 2023

Order #*******-1

Ordered contacts Dec. 27,2023, they shipped but no bill was attached to tracking order to submit to my benefits. Contacted customer service on December 27,2023 was told an official receipt would be emailed before the day was over. Nothing came to my inbox.

Dec.28,2023 contacted clearly again about an official receipt, they finally sent it after telling them, " it's like you don't want my business, nor care about customer requests, especially an official receipt."

I was later issued a receipt by email, with an excuse they are having computer issues, now I'm gonna be honest I ordered contacts last June and that was the same excuse. Honestly at this point I think I may take my business else where, kinda silly I have to hound for something important.

Run by stupid bots
January 27, 2024

Placed an order in Sep 2023 on urgent basis, had to cancel because it never reached in time. Placed another in 2024 using the premium delivery option and it is reaching after 6 days. Again messed up my delivery address. Customer service doesn't understand what's being asked either. Never got an order confirmation or tracking information for the order. Always choose the standard free delivery option. It's anyways going to reach in 5-7 days as they operate through snail-fast Canada Post.

Return policy changed
February 19, 2024

No longer is there a 10-15 day return policy since January, please change the policy information on your website to reflect the actual time it takes for returns to be returned as my insurance ran out because they didnt get back to my account and refund in time.

I bought a pair of sunglasses from clearly.ca. Visible discoloration at the edge of the lens. Customer service believes this is normal for polarized lenses. I don't have this issue on my other polarized pair from Costco. Has anyone seen this with your glasses?

If I could give Clearly a 0 Star rating I would. For starters I did my order and the website states any orders over $100 qualifies for Free shipping. That was a lie and I tried multiple ways in the checkout and it was still charging me. But whatever I needed my contacts asap so I went for the Premium Express shipping. I order products with Premium Express from other companies and get it over night. With Clearly I have been waiting 12 days now and still nothing here. This is the worst, and I meant absolute worst company to deal with. If you are searching and come across Clearly as the best deal I highly suggest not taking the bait and go to the next competition

Today is boxing day. They promote 25% OFF. However, their website spins and spins and then order not available. Only way to order is via optician. All good until checkout. Clearly -- Clariti - Singlefocal and 1.75. It worked 2 years ago. Since then stopped working. Calling them is endless holds.

I ordered contacts and glasses. The glasses arrived with bent arms and twisted frame.
I called and the rep stated a return label would be emailed. I called a week later and asked again. This time waiting on the phone until I could verify label was sent to me.
When the glasses were confirmed returned to clearly the funds were not returned.They would not just take the lenses out and transfer into an unbroken pair. They said they do not do that that refunds would have to be processed. I asked of then would I get the sale price. The answer was no. I called and inquired about the return of funds 12 days later and was told it was still processing. 12 days later I called again and told another 5-10 business days. So I read of just putting lenses in another pair. I now have no money returned, no glasses and cannot order more ones because I need the funds back.

You better be happy with your purchase because if you need to return them you'll be waiting a while,
Mine were bent and sat $#*!-eyed on my face, obviously their QC department was off that day. I returned them almost a month ago and the BOT that answers from customer service just tells me to be patient, live, and learn, never again
