02 · Your purchase

Ordering, prices & payment

Placing your order

Choose your frames or reglazing type, select the lens options you need, enter the required prescription information, and check the basket before paying. After checkout we'll email you an order acknowledgement. We may contact you to verify details needed to fulfil your order.

Prices & optional extras

Prices are shown in pounds sterling (GBP) and include applicable VAT. Lens upgrades, Express Service, accessories and delivery charges are shown before payment when selected. Optional extras are charged only when selected as part of your order.

Payment methods

Payment is taken securely at checkout using the payment options displayed there. Available methods may change; only methods actually shown at checkout are offered. We do not store your full payment card details on our website.

Availability & errors

Images are illustrative and colours may vary slightly between screens. If an item is unavailable, or a material pricing or product error is identified before fulfilment, we'll contact you to offer a suitable solution or cancel the affected item and refund what you paid.

Promotions: Our 15% multi-pair offer applies when two or more qualifying pairs are purchased, subject to any conditions shown with the offer. Any other promotion, discount or voucher is subject to its clearly displayed eligibility rules. Your basket and checkout confirm the final amount before payment.
03 · Prescription eyewear

Your prescription & lens choices

Prescription eyewear is made to the specifications you supply. Please check all details carefully so that we can make your glasses as ordered.

Accurate, current prescription

For prescription orders, you must meet the eligibility requirements shown at checkout (including being at least 16, not registered blind or partially sighted, and having a current, valid prescription). Supply accurate prescription and lens details. We may ask for a prescription copy or clarification before production.

Lens selection & measurements

The lens type, coatings, index, pupillary distance (PD) and any other measurements you choose affect the finished product. If you're unsure, contact us before ordering. We manufacture to the information confirmed in your order and will assess any concerns individually.

Made-to-order lenses

Prescription lenses are individually made for you, so ordinary change-of-mind cancellation rights generally differ from standard frame-only goods. We offer a separate 30-day Royal Specs website credit option for the prescription lens amount paid if you change your mind or are unhappy with correctly supplied lenses. Faulty, incorrect or misdescribed goods remain protected by law.

Changes to an order

If you need to change a prescription or lens option, please contact us as soon as possible. We'll try to help, but changes may not be feasible once the lenses are in production. We'll explain any applicable options and costs before agreeing changes.

04 · Your existing frames

Reglazing your glasses

Our glasses reglazing service replaces the lenses in a frame you already own. We inspect frames for suitability before fitting new lenses, including signs of wear, damage or fragility.

1

Order online

Choose full rimmed, semi rimless or rimless, then your prescription lenses and upgrades.

2

Read your emails

You'll receive your order confirmation first, followed by our separate Reglaze Order Instructions email with the correct postal address and packing instructions.

3

Send your frames

Pack your frames securely and include your order number. You arrange and pay postage to us.

4

We reglaze & return

We inspect, glaze and check your glasses, then return them with your selected delivery service.

Important for existing frames: Older, repaired, brittle or damaged frames can be more vulnerable during lens replacement. If a frame appears unsuitable, we may contact you before proceeding. We do not guarantee the condition of frames supplied to us, but we remain responsible where the law requires it, including for our failure to use reasonable care and skill.
05 · Dispatch & timing

Production & delivery

Made-to-order glasses need production and quality checks before dispatch. Express Service moves the order forward in production; Royal Mail Tracked 24 and Tracked 48 refer to the separate delivery stage after dispatch.

Order typeStandard productionExpress production (+£15)
Non-prescription glasses & sunglassesUp to 14 working days1–7 working days
Single-vision prescription glassesUp to 14 working days1–7 working days
Bifocal, varifocal, Transitions, polarised & prism lensesUp to 21 working days5–7 working days

Working days exclude weekends and UK bank holidays. Reglazing production starts after we receive your frames and the details needed to begin. Production periods are estimates rather than guaranteed arrival dates. Royal Mail Tracked 48 is £4.95 and Tracked 24 is £5.95 for eligible UK orders of £99 or less, with free delivery on orders over £99. Actual applicable choices and charges are confirmed at checkout. For full postage terms, tracking and any current updates, see our Shipping & Delivery Policy.

Delivery responsibility: We will work with you if a parcel is late, lost or damaged. Your legal rights concerning delivery, risk and remedies remain in place; we do not exclude responsibility for delays where doing so would be unlawful.
06 · After purchase

Returns, cancellations & warranty

30-day returns on eligible items

We offer 30-day change-of-mind returns for eligible frame-only glasses and standard non-customised goods, with conditions explained in our Returns & Refunds Policy. Your separate statutory online cancellation rights still apply to qualifying goods.

Prescription lens store credit

If you change your mind or are unhappy with correctly supplied made-to-order prescription lenses, please contact us within 30 days of delivery. We offer Royal Specs store credit equal to the amount paid for the prescription lens portion of your order, including selected lens options but excluding any separately charged frame, delivery, Express Service or unrelated extras. We will confirm the lens value for combined glasses-and-lens prices before issuing credit. We may request an inspection. Store credit is for use on a future Royal Specs purchase, not a cash payment. This goodwill option never replaces any monetary refund or other remedy required by law. See our Returns & Refunds Policy.

Our manufacturing warranty

Our standard one-year manufacturing warranty covers eligible defects in Royal Specs-supplied frames and lenses, subject to its terms. Where selected, any separately purchased extended warranty is governed by its stated coverage. See our Warranty page.

Something isn't right?

Contact us with your order number and details of the issue. We'll assess it and arrange an appropriate solution, which can include repair, replacement, a repeat service or refund as required. We cover reasonable return costs where we're responsible and the law requires it.

07 · Legal information

Your rights, privacy & website use

Consumer rights

Our products must meet applicable consumer standards, and our services must be performed with reasonable care and skill. Nothing in these terms limits rights or remedies that cannot lawfully be excluded, including liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence or for faulty goods or unsatisfactory services.

Personal data

We use personal information to manage orders, prepare prescription lenses, arrange delivery and provide support, as described in our Privacy Policy. Optional marketing is dealt with separately. Our use of information is subject to applicable data-protection law.

Website content

Our branding, product photography, text and design are protected by intellectual property rights where applicable. You may browse and print information for personal use. Please do not copy or exploit website material commercially without permission.

Updates & governing law

We may update these website terms for future orders. Changes do not retrospectively alter an agreement already made. These terms are governed by the law of England and Wales, without affecting mandatory consumer protections or access to courts that you are entitled to under applicable law.

08 · Quick answers

Terms & Ordering FAQs

Are the prices shown inclusive of VAT?

Yes. Prices on our UK website include VAT where applicable. Any optional lens upgrades, accessories, Express Service or delivery fees selected for your order are shown before you pay.

Can I change my prescription after placing an order?

Please contact us straight away with your order number. We may be able to amend it before lens manufacture begins, but changes cannot always be made once production is underway.

What's the difference between Express Service and Tracked 24?

Express Service moves your order forward in production. Royal Mail Tracked 24 is an outbound postal service used after your order has been made and dispatched. They are separate services.

Do you need my frames before starting a reglaze order?

Yes. After checkout, we'll email an order confirmation, followed by a separate Reglaze Order Instructions email explaining where and how to send your frames. The estimated reglazing production time begins when your frames and the required prescription information are received.

What if I change my mind about prescription lenses?

Eligible non-personalised goods have the returns and cancellation rights described in our policy. For made-to-order lenses, contact us within 30 days of delivery to request store credit for the prescription lens amount paid, subject to the lens value and inspection details in our Returns Policy. This is an extra goodwill offer; faulty-item refund rights remain unchanged.

What if the lenses are faulty or the prescription has been made incorrectly?

Please contact us. We'll compare the supplied prescription and order details with the finished lenses, explain any checks needed and put right any fault for which we're responsible in line with your legal rights.

Are my existing frames guaranteed during reglazing?

We inspect your frames and work with care, but pre-existing wear, age and fragility may increase the chance of breakage. We assess any issue fairly and do not exclude rights relating to reasonable care and skill.

What happens if an item is unavailable after I've paid?

We'll contact you, explain your options and arrange a prompt refund if we cannot fulfil the affected item and you do not agree an alternative.
