Shop glasses online isn’t a new idea, but it has become the go-to for many of us. There used to be a stigma about shopping for clothes online. How would you try them on? How would I know it looks good? These days, those thoughts are over. While I still believe there is a value in the store experience—touching things, interacting with the salesperson—there’s something about the instant gratification of just seeing something and buying from the comfort of your own home.
Phones have made shopping online—or shopping for glasses online—really easy. These days, consumers have an idea of what works for them and have gotten used to the return process. The rise of the free home try-on has helped with shopping online. That used to be the dread of shopping online: the long wait for the item, then the long wait of returning and getting your money. But we have all gotten used to it since it has now become the norm. Also, businesses have sped up the process of returns. Services such as UPS, FedEx, and USPS have figured out how to get things faster to you. Amazon has spoiled us with their local warehouses and even faster shipping. The world was once storefronts and the mall experience—we will enjoy—but I believe these stores have become showrooms and the quick “I need this right now” buy.
Here at Nerdy Frames, we have streamlined our process of getting glasses as fast as possible. We process our lenses, which does take longer than holding stock of ready-made lenses, but it allows us to get you a better product. When you shop for glasses online, you want to get the most out of your purchase, especially these days. We offer a free home try-on, which allows you to see our quality and compare it against our competitors. We offer a few styles per shape and face shape to make the process easier. Check out our collection and find out more about our free home try-on.
