How your order gets to you

Every order moves through three stages

Prescription verification, order processing, and delivery each affect when your order will arrive.

1

Prescription verification

We verify every contact lens prescription before shipping, as federal law requires. Uploading yours at checkout is the fastest route.

2

Processing

How long we need to prepare your order depends on what you ordered. Contact lenses usually go out same day. Glasses are made to order and take longer.

3

Delivery

Transit time depends on the shipping method selected. Available methods, costs, and estimates are shown at checkout before payment.

Business days are Monday through Friday, excluding holidays. We do not deliver on weekends or holidays. Processing may take longer during major sales events and peak periods.
Order preparation

Processing times

Processing begins after any required prescription verification is complete.

Contact lenses

Often ships the same day

In most cases, in-stock orders with a verified prescription placed Monday through Friday before 2 PM ET / 11 AM PT ship the same day. Specialty, toric, and made-to-order lenses take longer.

Prescription glasses

Made to order

Every pair is made to order. Processing time varies with the complexity of your prescription and the availability of your selected frame.

Non-prescription eyewear

Usually 1-2 business days

Most non-prescription eyewear orders are prepared within one to two business days.

Orders placed after the cutoff, on weekends, or on holidays begin processing the next business day.
Orders with both contacts and glasses: These may ship separately or together. Glasses generally take longer to prepare, so in most cases we ship each part as soon as it is ready rather than holding your whole order. You will receive tracking for each shipment.

Outside the U.S. and Canada

International shipping

We ship to select destinations outside the United States and Canada. Available options for your address are shown at checkout.

  • Customs duties and taxes: International orders may be subject to customs duties, import taxes, or handling fees charged by the destination country. These are set by local authorities, are not included in your order total, and are the responsibility of the recipient. We cannot estimate them in advance.
  • Tracking: Tracking for international shipments is available until the package reaches the destination country. After that, handling passes to the local postal or customs authority, and detailed tracking may no longer update.
  • Delivery timing: Delivery timelines can also be extended by customs processing, which is outside our control.
Contact lens orders

Prescription verification

Contact lenses are an FDA-regulated medical device. We cannot ship contact lenses until your prescription is verified.

Fastest option

Upload your prescription

If you upload your prescription at checkout, we can usually begin processing right away. This is the fastest option.

We contact them

Provide your prescriber's details

If you give us your prescriber's details, we contact them directly. Under the FTC Contact Lens Rule, your prescriber has eight business hours to respond. If they do not respond within that window, your prescription is verified automatically and we ship your order.

If your prescriber tells us the prescription is expired or inaccurate, we will contact you before amending or cancelling your order.
After dispatch

Tracking and arrival

Tracking your order

You will receive a shipping confirmation email with tracking as soon as your order leaves our facility. Delivery typically takes 2 to 4 days once shipped. You can also check your order status at any time.

When your order arrives

Check the prescription details on each box against your prescription: power, base curve, diameter, and which box is for which eye. It only takes a minute and means you can start wearing them with confidence.

Checkout totals

Taxes and fees

Prices on our site do not include tax or processing fees. Both are calculated and shown at checkout before you pay.

A processing fee may be included in the total price of your order and will be specified when you proceed to purchase. The processing fee covers insurance, prescription verification and costs associated with handling your order, including third party transaction fees. It does not include any charge for the product itself.

Orders paid with a Kits.ca gift card are still subject to tax and processing fees.
