SmartBuyGlasses vs. Glasses.com
Benefits
SmartBuyGlasses offer fashionable frames for men, women and kids. They have an extensive range of designer brands in their portfolio, as well as their more affordable, own-label collection. They also ship for free internationally, no matter where you’re located in the world, and have a 100-day return policy.
Glasses.com offer an array of designer glasses, sunglasses, and safety glasses with minimal shipping times due to their in-house laboratory. They also provide helpful resources and virtual try-on features through their app.
Drawbacks
SmartBuyGlasses is a one-stop online shop for eyewear, as well as a hub of resources for glasses and contact lens wearers; however, their wealth of information and product choice can feel a little overwhelming at times.
Even though Glasses.com allow free shipping for their US customers, they don’t ship internationally. In addition, they don’t offer contact lenses, and some of their frames have extremely high price points for those with lower disposable income.
Our Verdict
By offering top designer frames at higher price points in addition to stylish own-label frames at more affordable prices, there truly is something for every taste and budget at SmartBuyGlasses. The wide range of choice is phenomenal, and the fact that they provide a number of useful resources for glasses and contact lens wearers (including a virtual try-on feature) is an added bonus. The sheer amount of styles can feel overwhelming at times, but the site makes shopping with the company as easy and straightforward as possible by offering different filter and sorting options.
Glasses.com are much more fashion-forward than your standard eyewear retailer, providing an extensive range of on-trend designer sunglasses at high-end price points. The shipping costs and times are ideal if you live in the US; however, it’s a shame that they don’t ship internationally.
