7.4 If your glasses appear unsuitable for reglaze on arrive to our office and you do not like/chose not to receive similar alternatives, we will let you know via email and send your glasses back to you as soon as possible using Royal Mail’s Signed-For postage. Your reglaze cost will be refunded to you within 7 days, however we will hold onto the £4.50 postage charge in order to cover the cost of sending your unsuitable frame back to you.

Our customer care team will be in touch with you via email in order to arrange a suitable date and time to call you for payment. Your old frames will be held onto until your new ones are complete and then both pairs will be sent out to you at the same time.
