First purchase of a personal item

I have been buying products from online portals for a very long time now but this is the first time I ordered something that was precise and personal i.e a spectacle with powered lenses. I asked about lenskart on desidime forums first and with positive review of dimers I moved ahead with the purchase. I had got a new power from my doctor and wanted to try out a new website.

I ordered my glasses on 26th April 2012 and received the product on 2nd May 2012. The website is a little tacky to use as it tried to show a lot of options that they have in one single page, but apart from that it is fine. The images may cause the illusion of the lenses being slightly bigger than they really are so be careful with your choice.

The payment was made in advance. The product was delivered in a very nice box with solid packaging. Very happy with that. The lenses are clear enough and although I have not tested the powers, I feel quite comfortable wearing them so I am guessing they did not make any mistakes there. They have lot of other options for lenses and coatings too but the complementary lenses seem to be doing fine too.

However, I would advise users to not remain dependent on the website for all their optical needs as they depend on 3rd party courier services (BLUE DART in my case) and these may delay the delivery and may cause problems. I would happily use them for buying backup spectacles or even try out getting some sunglasses from them in the future.
