Backorders

If a product is temporarily out of stock it will be placed on backorder and you will be notified, if an item on backorder cannot be sourced, we will contact you to discuss your options.

Delivery

Missing Parcels

LensesOnline responsibility for courier deliveries "without signatures required" ends, when the courier Track & Trace report clearly states that the parcel has been delivered at the provided address. From there all responsibility for receiving the parcel lays with the customer. We will provide our customers with evidence about the ticket number and date of dispatch but any further enquiries should be directed to the courier company directly.
