Avoid this scam company

Avoid this company, and only use UK opticians. It is an eastern European scam, based in Prague. They take an order and payment, then demand more money before manufacturing. They have no presence in the UK, and I have been onto rude Czech staff for days now, trying to get a refund.

Lenses colour wrong and wear uncomfortable

Lenses colour didn’t match what was on the webpage. But more importantly they were very uncomfortable. Only used 3 pairs. Wouldn’t last any more than 4 hours as I couldn’t handle the lenses being so uncomfortable

Fast Delivery and Excellent Service

I recently ordered contact lenses from Alensa and was very impressed with the whole service. The ordering process was straightforward, the price was competitive, and the lenses were delivered really quickly.

Everything arrived exactly as expected, with no fuss or delay. Based on this experience, I would have no hesitation in using Alensa again and recommending them to others.

No communication, order cancelled

No communication while waiting for my contact lenses. When following up for an update, you get an email response via an AI Bot.
After waiting 6 weeks, was informed that there was a European wide shortage/delay, and the manufacturer could not give an updated delivery date. I had 2 months to organise myself a set of monthly disposables, howeveer due to lack of communication I am now under pressure, or be without contact lenses.
Alensa offered a really good price, but if you don't receive your products, no point in wasting your time. Order was eventually cancelled, and I'm hoping I get a refund.

Dear Jackie,

Thank you for your feedback. We understand your frustration regarding the delay, but we would like to clarify the circumstances surrounding your order.

The delay you experienced was entirely due to an unprecedented, European-wide manufacturing shortage from the supplier, which affected all retailers across the industry. Because the manufacturer was unable to provide us with an estimated delivery date, we could not provide a definitive timeline to you. We utilize automated updates to inform customers as quickly as possible when global supply chains disrupt our inventory.

As soon as it became clear that the manufacturer could not fulfill the product in a reasonable timeframe, the order was cancelled to ensure you were not left waiting indefinitely.

Regarding your payment, a full refund has already been processed and should now be visible in your account.

We offer highly competitive pricing by working closely with global manufacturers, but we unfortunately cannot control factory-level shortages. We appreciate your patience through this industry-wide issue.

Kind regards,

Customer Care Team
