This is the one in National City and the address is: 3030 Plaza Bonita Rd. Spc 14. National City, Ca. 91950. I am writing to share a deeply disappointing experience regarding a recent EPP claim at LensCrafters. My wife and I were assisted by Beth and the store manager, Jessica. Unfortunately, the interaction—particularly with Beth—was unprofessional, confrontational, and lacking basic customer care. Rather than helping resolve the issue, the tone and approach made an already frustrating situation significantly worse. At the time of our original purchase, Jessica clearly advised us to enroll in the EPP, explaining that we could use the benefit to receive a second pair before the plan expired, as long as it was done within the appropriate timeframe. We relied on that guidance and acted in good faith. However, during our recent visit, we were unexpectedly required to surrender our original glasses in order to proceed with the claim. This requirement was never disclosed at the time of purchase and directly contradicts the explanation we were given. The policy language indicates that returns “may be required,” suggesting discretion—yet in our case, it was treated as mandatory without any explanation or flexibility. This lack of transparency and inconsistency is concerning. There was no indication on our receipt or purchase documentation that surrendering the original glasses would be required. If this is standard practice, it should be clearly communicated upfront—not introduced at the time of a claim. What is most disappointing is not just the policy confusion, but how it was handled. Good customer service involves clear communication, empathy, and a willingness to resolve concerns. Unfortunately, that was not our experience. This situation has significantly impacted my confidence in continuing to do business with LensCrafters. I had been considering purchasing prescription smart glasses—specifically Ray-Ban Meta Smart Glasses—through this location, but after this experience, I am reconsidering. I hope this feedback is taken seriously and used to improve both communication and customer service standards. Customers should feel informed, respected, and valued—not confused and dismissed. Overall, this experience fell well below expectations for customer satisfaction.
