From extensive stylish variety to eccentric quality, the frames they sell, have it all. Additionally, Specscart ensures super convenience and comfort with its splendid services. Keep reading and we promise to leave you stupefied with the ways of this company.

The idea behind Specscart took form in the brains of a second-year student at Manchester University. Siddharth, now the Founder and Managing Director, broke his eyeglasses exactly a day before his semester exams. He went to the nearest eyewear shop, only to be shocked. The reason being the exorbitant prices that made him feel what daylight robbery is like. 

On one hand, his savings as a student had no comparison to what he was asked to pay for a pair of new glasses or even the repair. On the other hand, the optician told him that it will take a week to get the eyeglasses made. As his exam was the very next day, Siddharth had no other option than to write it without the glasses. Fortunately enough, not only did he clear his exams, but he also came up with the game-changing idea we know as Specscart today.

Two significant problems made Siddharth realise why glasses were not being used as a fast-fashion accessory. He understood why clothes, shoes or bags made captivating fast-fashion accessories, but similarly stylish glasses couldn’t. The reason was, one, glasses were extremely pricey. And two, they took quite a lot of time to be in the hands of the customer.

Thus, the mission of the company came into being. To change the way people perceive eyeglasses. They aren’t just a way to correct vision, but a fast-fashion accessory.

To make the change happen, Siddharth and his team ensure to stand tall with the following services in place. Unlike many other brands, they are quite serious about it, as is evident with their customer testimonials on TrustPilot and Google. 

1. The unmatched prices

This pricing is extremely crucial for the company to fulfil its mission. That’s why Specscart has its own labs making glasses for you. Its in-house designer brands Tom Archer and Marc Fabien take care of the in vogue appeal while the lab technicians with 20+ years of experience take care of the rest. 

This approach of no middleman makes the glasses at Specscart highly affordable. That’s right! Their frames start with a mere £25. And the blue light glasses that many people think to be a luxury have advanced X-blue lenses available at quite an appealing price. Yes, the lenses cost only £15 for non-prescriptions and £25 for prescription lenses.

2. The free try at home service

Specscart offers a home trial of up to 4 frames for 7 days. This deal is incredible considering it’s absolutely free of cost. Yes, with prepaid shipping you can order the 4 frames package as many times as you want until you find the right frames of your choice.

This service – something which is not possible in a retail store – helps you play around with different frames and ask your friends and family for opinions.

3. 24-hour dispatch

One of the reasons why glasses aren’t seen as a fast-fashion accessory among people is the fact that they aren’t available quickly. If you have to attend a party tomorrow, you can always order a dress a day before, to wear it on time or visit a store nearby to have it instantly. However, this is not the case with eyewear. That’s why Specscart promises 24-hour dispatch and faster deliveries on most orders so that you can always look and feel put together, even at the last minute.

4. Worldwide free shipping

Unlike many companies who charge for shipping, Specscart doesn’t. And that is true not only for the UK orders where the company is based but worldwide. Reason? they don’t want the customer to feel fooled when he checks-out with a price he didn’t expect in the first place. This approach helps them build trust and be known as reliable.

5. Comprehensive eye test at home or workplace

Situations like the nationwide lockdown don’t allow us to move outdoors and get an eye test for our prescription. But Specscart makes it easy. The company sends its highly experienced optometrists to your place and helps you get an eye test done at your convenience. 

6. No questions asked returns 

Like everything else we buy, eyewear might also need to be replaced. While some brands ask for a return fee, Specscart assures you to accept your returns without any questions asked. The 30 days return policy, thus, makes it extremely easy for the customer to decide and invest their money in their eyewear.

The icing on the cake for Specscart is their stores across the UK. Firstly, Specscart provides free comprehensive eye tests if you can visit their stores. 

Secondly, they cater to a problem that hardly any other company in the eyewear industry did. The problem is ‘lack of convenience’ when in the store. How many times have you visited an eyewear shop? You might have come across the way the shopkeeper hands you over the frames that you wish to try. Here is where the problem is. The average human will start feeling awkward if he asks for more than 3 to 5 frames to try. Next, either he’ll drop the idea of buying the glasses or he’ll settle for a less appealing pair. Both these situations are not good for the customer and hence, for any company. 

That’s why Specscart has open shelves in its stores from which people choose and try as many frames as they want without the inconvenience they feel in other stores. Having frames accessible like this was one of the most crucial implementations for Specscart. They decided to take care of it as soon as they won the Albert Gubay award and a store along with it in 2017.

Afterwards, the company also won the Venture Further award in 2018, which gave them a green signal to raise their limits and aim to touch the sky.
