While we provide free shipping, we are not responsible for frames that are damaged or lost during shipment.
Packaging Tips:
- Use a box that is appropriately sized to hold your frames and padding securely.
- Avoid using envelopes or soft packaging, as these do not provide adequate protection.
- Label your package clearly with our shipping address and ensure the prepaid shipping label is attached properly.
6. Lost or Damaged Frames
While we take every precaution to ensure that your frames are handled with care, DrLensChange.com is not responsible for frames that are lost or damaged during shipment. If your frames are lost or damaged by the shipping carrier, we recommend contacting the carrier directly to file a claim.
Once your package is in transit, we cannot control the handling process, so we advise customers to take extra care when packaging their frames for shipment. If your package is lost or damaged during the return shipment from our facility, please reach out to us immediately so we can assist you with next steps.
7. Frame Damage During Lens Installation
At DrLensChange.com, we handle every frame with the utmost care during the lens replacement process. However, in rare instances, frames can become damaged or break during lens installation. We are not responsible for frames that are damaged during the lens replacement process.
What Happens If Your Frame Is Damaged?
If your frame is damaged during installation, we will not be able to reimburse you for the frame. However, we offer a great option to help make up for the loss:
- We will provide you with a free replacement frame that is similar in size and shape to your original frame, ensuring that you can still enjoy your new lenses without having to purchase a new frame.
This offer applies only in the case of damage occurring during the lens replacement process at our facility.
