Total money waste !!
I recently ordered a pair of prescription sunglasses from Shade Station, and I am incredibly disappointed. First, the delivery took an unreasonably long time. Worse, when they finally arrived, the lenses were entirely blurry and clearly did not match my prescription. I own several pairs of prescription sunglasses from various other makers, all of which have crystal-clear vision and excellent quality, which makes the poor quality of these even more obvious. This was my first time ordering from Shade Station, and after spending £200 on glasses I can't even use, it will definitely be my last. A complete waste of money.

Thank you for taking the time to share this. We’re sorry to hear the prescription sunglasses haven’t met your expectations, especially after the wait. We haven’t been made aware of any issues with this order so we’ll be in touch to look into it further and see what’s happened.

Absolutely fantastic company
Absolutely fantastic company. We ordered prescription glasses on a Saturday, we got a call about 30 mins later advising us the lenses we ordered were not in stock but that there was a lower cost substitute if we did not want to wait. We agreed to this and paid for the next day delivery service (Sunday). The glasses are perfect and arrived less than 24 hours after ordering. They were delivered on a SUNDAY! We spoke to Jenna on the Monday and she refunded the difference between the lenses we ordered and substitute lenses. We are completely blown away but how amazing this company have been and we will we using again and recommending to friends and family. Thank you :). *****

I have always bought my sunglasses from a competitor until I found Shade Station
I have always bought my sunglasses from a well-known high street retailor both in store and online. However, the recent hike in prices really started to grate on me and I couldn't bring myself to buy from them any more. Instead, I came across Shade Station and compared like for like with the sunglasses I wanted. I was taken aback by the huge difference in price, even after discount codes were used.
After much deliberating, I took a chance and ordered a pair of sunglasses from Shade Station. Not only were they shipped on the same day, I received them the following working day. I could not be happier with the service and how well packaged my sunglasses were.
10/10 for service, delivery and price. As I type this, I am ordering a second pair of sunglasses (and plan to order a third after that).

Charlotte was absolutely brilliant and so helpful on the chat. She was genuine, friendly and really personalised the conversation, so it never felt like I was speaking to a robot.

So happy with my glasses. I broke my frames & they sent me a link to rebut them and post the old ones back to have the lenses re-fitted to my new pair. Fabulous service.; Many Thanks
