Review summary

Created with AI, based on recent reviews

Evaluating 152 reviews, most reviewers were unhappy with their experience overall. Consumers frequently complained about poor product quality, noting that expensive frames broke easily and rubber components fell off after a relatively short period of use. Buyers also expressed deep frustration with strict warranty policies and unhelpful support teams that made resolving product defects extremely difficult for everyone. Though some customers experienced major durability problems, reviewers were genuinely happy with the exceptional optical clarity and performance of the lenses during outdoor water activities. A few people additionally mentioned receiving prompt assistance and fast item replacements when successfully navigating the customer service warranty process.

Terrible company. They do not honor warranties. Customer service is a disgrace with every agent giving a different response just to try and get rid of you.

Loved my Costa glass lenses sunglasses until the materials began separating on the temple pieces. Contacted CS and was told it was not a material or workmanship issue and not subject to warranty coverage. $400 worth of glasses lasted less than two years. Never again - better options out there.

Unacceptable refund handling – still no refund as of today

I purchased an item through the Italian Costa Del Mar website and later returned my order.

The return was delivered back on May 13, as confirmed by the tracking information and by their own customer care.

As of today, I have still not received any refund.

This situation is completely unacceptable. I contacted customer service several times and mostly received generic replies without any concrete resolution. I had already requested a resolution by June 17. Then, on June 15, they stated in writing that I would receive the refund within a maximum of 5 working days. That deadline has passed, and I still have not received any reimbursement.

This is extremely poor customer service and unacceptable refund handling. A customer should not have to spend weeks chasing a refund after a return has already been delivered and confirmed.

This has been a deeply disappointing experience and definitely one I will never repeat.

Costa sunglasses are the most worthless glasses on the market. I bought a pair and 2 weeks later all the rubber came undone and they constantly fell off my head. I was happy to smash them with all my mite and crush them into oblivion. I will never buy another pairnof Costas again as long as I live!!!

So Disappointed

My wife bought me a pair of Costa's in March as a birthday gift, it is now June and one of the arms just fell off, the frame split and a lens fell out. I am SO disappointed. I've worn Costa's exclusively for better part of the last 20 years. I got my dad into wearing them, and my wife wearing Costa's. This is the last time we will ever spend money on Costa's.

Comfortable Glasses, Uncomfortable Product & Support

Positive: very comfortable

Negative: 1) Quality - when you pay about 700.00 for prescription sunglasses you expect them to last. My first pair had lens issues. After trying for days to contact just a customer service person I found the President's email. After many conversations they were replaced. 2 years later, using primarily for driving, the arm snapped off. Try to get through the voice activated system to talk to a human....good luck! And trying to talk to a human is my biggest complaint. Although I think they are very comfortable, I can't justify buying from Costa Sunglasses.

Great Customer Service

I am so impressed with Costa Del Mar's customer service! I recently sent in my Fantail sunglasses for a warranty replacement, and the entire process was seamless. They kept me updated every step of the way and sent out a brand-new replacement incredibly fast. Costa genuinely stands behind their products and takes care of their customers. The Fantails are hands-down the best sunglasses for the water, and now I am a lifelong customer thanks to this amazing experience. Highly recommended!

terrible customer service / warranty useless

Costa used to stand behind their product but they no longer provide any customer service. I had a warranty problem that i tried to handle on Chat and was lied to, then given a ph number to call for help. First person hung up on me when they went to pull up my account. Next person couldn't do what the 1st person told me they could do then said they would email me in 3 days to resolve. Useless and horrible service. Never again! Bajio provides EXCELLENT customer service and they will get all of my future business. * update: I emailed them at the address below....NO response

Costa del mar warranty process is absolute garbage.... If you bought your sunglasses in Puerto Rico they make you fill a different form and it gets sent to the trash, there is no warranty.... Frames just snapped under normal use and these don't even have one year..

I received excellent customer service from Costa. I just replaced an older pair of sunglasses and Costa provided me with a discount. I’ve only had outstanding customer service from Costa and their product (sun glasses) are truly outstanding.

I have purchased and owned multiple…

I have purchased and owned multiple pairs of Costas in the past, with very little trouble. I purchased a brand new pair this year, with the glass lense, and less than 2 months in I got some sunscreen on the glasses. I tried cleaning them with my cloth, and it scratched visably (or removed the film perhaps) on the inside of the lense. Costa is not standing behind the product, and I think clearly a 200+ dollar pair of glasses should not ruin the lens when you get sunscreen on them. Not only are they not warranting the lenses, but they also said it would cost $143 to replace them. I paid $230 or so for the glasses, and bottom line will never be a costa customer again with this customer service.

Update on 6/9. Costa thank you for the reply I emailed you yesterday 6/8 as you requested below, and awaiting your response.
