Enjoy a stress-free shopping experience

Let’s be honest, Black Friday sales can get a little manic sometimes! And while facing the physical demands of endless queues and chaotic shopping crowds in high street stores is practically a thing of the past, online shopping can be just as stressful. This is especially true when you are limited on time to enjoy a discount. Especially when there are a whole line of people ready to grab the offer at the same time as you. Of course, some individuals love the adrenaline rush of the long-awaited Black Friday sales and that’s totally fine! However, if you are the kind of person that likes to take a step back and enjoy a bit of extra time to consider the offer in front of you then shopping early might be the way to go! At least that way you can take a very pragmatic approach and make a more informed decision about your purchase. Of course, it is totally down to you and how you prefer to shop online.

Grab your favourite frames before they sell out!

The later you leave it, the more chance your preferred frame will be sold out, particularly if it is a popular one! By shopping early, you can secure yourself some excellent bargains. Save on the brands you love without missing out completely.

Of course, it is always our top priority to ensure we are fully stocked with all your favourite styles but we do get very busy around this time of year and as is to be expected, top-selling designs will fly off the shelves very quickly! Visit our last chance to buy page for an idea of what frames are selling fast at the moment. Don’t leave it until it is too late to grab the designs that suit you best and that you enjoy wearing.

Delivery may be quicker if you shop early

As the weeks go on, we experience high demand and tend to get very busy. Delivery could take a little longer than usual. Obviously, we always endeavour to get your eyewear to you as soon as possible. However, during busier periods there is every chance it could take just a little longer, especially if you have a more complicated prescription that requires more attention to detail. If you are eager to get hold of your new glasses right away, ordering early will mean you avoid the Black Friday mayhem and better still, will have your new glasses before anyone else does!

Replace an old or broken pair

Are you in desperate need of new eyewear? Perhaps you have just received a new prescription, or have broken, or even misplaced the previous pair. Either way, it goes without saying that you will need new glasses fairly soon. In which case, you may as well make the most of any offer available to you. After all, why wait if having new eyewear is an absolute necessity for your eyesight? It is after all essential for you to be able to see clearly and more importantly, protect your sight. We have tons of great deals for you to enjoy right now, so there is no need to break the bank!

Make the most of your budget

If you are worried that a few too many tempting Black Friday deals will lead you to spend too much in one go, then why not spread the cost and avoid the big bill at the end of the month? By shopping earlier on in November and perhaps again later in the month, your budget is less likely to experience such a dramatic hit. After all, there is at least one more payday to look forward to between now and then! If you leave it until the last minute to do your Black Friday shopping then you could be overwhelmed by all the offers and end up spending more than you intend to. It is easily done!

Whereas, if you make a few purchases now and use the discounts we have available, you won’t be in such a rush to grab everything you can at the final moment. Instead, you will be ready to catch the best possible deals that you can. Plus, the festive period isn’t far now and you’ll soon be ticking off a list of gifts for loved ones. Why not treat yourself and stay within your budget in the meantime?
