Lost item

An item is considered lost if it is never reported as delivered. This can also occur if your order has been stuck in any shipping stage other than "delivered". You may file a claim if enough time has been allowed for delivery to take place and it's past the expected delivery date, or if your order is stuck in a shipping state other than "Delivered".

Claims are considered "lost" after 7 days without a tracking status update (20 days for international shipping) and must be filed no later than 30 days from the last update.

Damaged order

If your item arrives damaged, unusable, or otherwise in unacceptable conditions, we invite you to file a claim immediately. Please remember to include pictures of the item(s) and packaging. Claims for damaged item(s) can be filed right away. Damaged claims must be filed within 15 days from the date it was marked delivered.

Stolen package

Route considers packages marked "delivered" and not received as stolen. We ask that you wait 5 days from the day the package was marked delivered; it can occur that packages are scanned as delivered, yet not show up for a few days. Stolen claims must be filed within 15 days from the date it was marked delivered.

Lost

For lost orders, claims may be submitted as soon as the item is suspected to be lost. For items that have scheduled delivery dates, Route has a 3-5 business day grace period to ensure that the ordered items aren't simply delayed in transit. After the order is tagged as lost, the refund/reorder will be submitted within 3-5 business days.

Damaged

Within 24 hours of the claim being submitted, you will receive a response and an investigation will be led by our claims department. Photos of the damaged item are required.

Stolen

Orders that are stolen have a relatively short processing time, provided that a police report is attached to the claim. Once submitted, these claims typically are addressed and closed within 24 hours, then processed within 3-5 business days.

PD, or pupilalry distance, is the distance in millimeters between the center of one pupil to the other measured in millimeters. Your PD is usually included in your prescription. If not, you can measure your PD yourself or contact your eye doctor to measure it for you.

You can do it yourself or have someone else measure it using a mirror and a ruler. Place a ruler, millimeter side up, directly under the center of your right or left pupil. While looking straight ahead, measure the distance from the center of your left pupil to the center of your right pupil. Repeat for accuracy. Note that the average PD is between 57 and 65mm.

Knowing the right measurement for your frames is important when shopping for glasses online. Check the inside of the temple arm and there should be some numbers there. These numbers are your frame measurements. Check out our tutorial on how to read frame measurements so you can be sure your're selecting glasses that fit you best.

If you can no longer read the numbers on the inside of your frame, you can always try measuring by hand. Just remember, when measuring frame width, you need to measure from temple screw to temple screw. For temple length you need to measure from the temple screw to the temple tip.

We offer quality lenses that are checked for perfection at every step of our manufacturing process. We offer full rim, semi-rimless, and rimless frames to fit every style and budget.

Unfortunately, no. Due to the way basic color tint and photochromic are applied, they cannot be added to the same lens.

Want to get some glasses and don't require a prescription? Choose "Non-prescription" lenses while in the "Usage" section of our lens selection process.

You should also select this option if you plan on taking your frame to an optician and have your lenses fitted by them since we do not offer frames without lenses.

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), “...because of poor survivability of these coronaviruses on surfaces, there is likely very low risk of spread from products or packaging that are shipped over a period of days or weeks at ambient temperatures.”

Before opening the package, we recommend wiping it down using antibacterial wipes or cleaners with a minimum of 70% alcohol.

The CDC recommends the following social distancing guidelines:

Stay home from work, school, and all activities when you are sick with COVID-19 symptoms, which may include fever, cough, and difficulty breathing.

Keep away from others who are sick.

Limit close contact with others as much as possible (about 6 feet).

Shopping online and opting for “no-contact delivery” (when available) is another way to maintain social distancing.

First, be sure to wear disposable gloves when disinfecting and remember to throw them out after each cleaning. If you’re using reusable gloves, they should be used only for cleaning and disinfecting surfaces for COVID-19 and not for any other purpose. Clean hands immediately after gloves are removed.

Wash any surface that may be dirty with detergent or a mixture of soap and water before disinfecting. For disinfection, you can use diluted bleach solutions, alcohol solutions with at minimum 70% alcohol, and commonly used EPA-registered household disinfectants.

Visit the CDC’s website for more information on disinfecting surfaces.

As an extra measure of precaution, EyeBuyDirect has taken proactive and voluntary steps to ensure packages are safe for handling:

All employees receive two body temperature checks during the day: one before work and one at work. All body temperature checking results are recorded and filed.

All employees wear disposable face masks at work. Additionally, our Operators in Quality Control and those who are part of the shipping process wear disposable latex gloves to avoid touching finished goods directly.

Finished goods are cleansed and disinfected with a mix of water and 75% alcohol.

Disinfection is conducted again before shipping: disinfectant is sprayed inside and outside of the carton box, and disinfected cartons are labeled.

We make returning and replacing products easy with our 14-Day Fit & Style Guarantee and automatic return-item option.
