The subscription service is just a SCAM?
The subscription service is super bad. I'm not 100% sure it's a scam, but here's my story:
HOW IT STARTED
- I use lenses quite for some time now, so I figured: why not go for a subscription for the 10% discount. Well I finally set up my subscription in Antwerp in a shopping mall.
FIRST BATCH
-The delivery should have been last year (December) for the first batch of lenses (paid EUR 36). Did not receive any. They fit in the mailbox....
- I get a mail to give my preferred store for delivery, I send it to the mail klantenservice hansanders be (can't add a mailadress from trustpilot), the mail just does not deliver (non existing)?
SECOND BATCH
- First of February paid EUR 36 again. Did not receive any, but got a mail that there are supply chain issues with that type of lenses (-1.5 for hydrogen lenses, which is pretty common so okay..).
- I called customer service which was quite cooperative. The dutch lady wanted to help and called twice to the closest Hans Anders store and said I could pause the subscription in the store.
- I went to the closest store, again supply chain issues are mentioned. I thought well subscription services should provide PREDICTABILITY OF CASHFLOWS. So the lenses should arive when expected. They had 2 boxes in the store, so I asked if I could get those for the February payment. No, I had to pay again for one pack of lenses (on top: it was EUR 20, no discount of 10% as in the subscription...) because it is from their stock....
- Expected delivery date of my lenses: 13 of April...
- No indication when the delivery would happen from the batch of December, they would arrive 13 of April as well they think.
- Additional info from the local store: yeah we could try to return a batch to HQ (I would receive 6 boxes) and then give money back for a couple of them, but yeah I advise you to try to do it at that point in time..
SUMMARY
Very bad overall experience. Hope for another solution, and hope from the deepest of my hearth that I am one in a million having this experience.
