Zenni Optical vs. SmartBuyGlasses

Zenni offer stylish eyeglasses and sunglasses for men, women and kids. As well as providing a wide range of frames to suit every budget and style, they even have an innovative personalisation service. Shopping with the company online is extremely straightforward thanks to their numerous helpful guides and resources. Furthermore, international shipping only costs $9.95, no matter where you’re located in the world.

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.

Most online eyewear retailers provide free domestic shipping, but it will cost you $4.95 with Zenni and your order might take a rather long time to get to you! Plus, customers are expected to pay the shipping costs if they wish to return an item for any reason. Even though there are a variety of glasses to choose from, none of the styles are named and just given a general description, like “aviator eyeglasses.” This can make them difficult to refer to.

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.

Zenni deliver a simplistic online shopping experience due to their array of informative resources. As well as providing a virtual try-on service, you can easily browse their vast collection of glasses using different filter and sorting options. With frames starting at $6.95, the company is currently one of the most affordable eyewear retailers on the market and offer plenty of choice to suit every budget. Their customisation service is also rather unique. It’s a shame that Zenni charges for domestic shipping, unlike their competitors, but international shipping costs are kept nice and low to compensate. However, the fact that customers have to pay for shipping to return an item seems a little unfair.

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.
