Clearlycontacts.ca or costalcontacts.com $45 off $120 order w/ free shipping

[shinsky]

Thought I would make a new topic on this. originally found by aweinman

Coupon Code: BARGAIN

$45 off any order over $120.

Coupon expires May 31/06

Free shipping too!

www.clearlycontacts.ca

EDIT: use the coupon code at www.costalcontacts.com (its the US site of clearlycontacts). since the canadian dollar is strong, its cheaper to get it there.

[BeaverLiquor]

anyone order from clearlycontacts.ca before?

i don't use contacts but my sister does and may pass this deal to her.

[steve.m]

thanks that is sweet $45 off even free shipping.

edit although they add a $10 handling fee :(

[shinsky]

yea the 10 handling fee is pretty devious. they don't state anything about it until you've completed the order. i tried to get them to reverse the charge but they kept on saying that the handling fee is stated on the website :rolleyes: total bs.

[tt_boy]

thank you for the deal!

[dogbolter]

Just beware that the order will process even before you submit.

I entered my information and proper address etc. just to see if the coupon would work and if there was a $10 processing fee and BANG I got an email confirming that my order was placed.

There is NO CONFIRMATION of the order screen. Once it has all the info it just sends the order.

I have used ClearlyContacts before and would recommend them, especially with this coupon but just be carefull you don't order something you don't want.

[Jeff146]

Yeah I know no confirmation at all

I wanted to try the coupon also, going to cancel my order though!

[ratpacker]

that happened to me, you have to click add more instead of buy now.

when is the discount supposed to show up? i clicked through to view cart after my order is over $120 and still nothing?

Yes search my posts.. I been there before, I personaly dont like ClearlyContacts for that reason. I just put RTS on the box (because they just send it out right away). Headache for nothing and a hassle to just send it back.

[fakishan]

What a horrible website, there isn't enough information on their products.

[rickross]

This site is so bad I hope the contacts arent bad as the site

[Sparhawk]

Yeah their web site isn't great, but what info do you really need?
Look up the info on the manufacturer's site.

Anyway I've bought from them several times in the last 2-3 years and am very happy about the speed at which the product ships and gets to me.

My last order, I placed on Friday afternoon, it shipped the same day and I got it Monday or Tuesday. Vancouver to Montreal, that's pretty quick.

The product seems the same as what I'd get from my optometrist, without the hassle of MIR, and still overall at a better price that any local store.

I've bought Accuvu 2 and Focus Toric's for my wife. We're both happy about our purchases.

[nounou23]

I entered some dummy info with the coupon and I'm extremely impresse. 4 box of 02optix + filler item = TOTAL $78.33 . about 19$ / box. This is great.

I see that you need to fax / or write the info of your eye doctor..

I will check my insurance tomorow and I will definitly order some.

thanks

[doublejack]

GREAT FIND OP! The same order was $117 a few months ago I got it for $81 with the coupon. That's US because I find the prices cheaper on coastalcontacts.com.

BTW they don't need your prescription, they just act like they are concerned so the authorities don't shut them down. They could probably care less what you put in your eyes. Don't try something new, just buy what you know works for you already.

Do you mean the price on clearlycontact.ca are in US $. When I check on the site it says "All price in Canadian Dollars"

[doublejack]

No, I mean coastalcontacts.com is the US arm of the company. You can order from them as I have in the past and you'll get the exact thing only your visa will be charged in the cheaper US prices.

[ITsupport001]

Awesome Find!

I use this place all the time, and honestly it is the best place to order contacts ON THE WEB.

Regarding the entering of the coupon code and having a problem with the form submitting before you enter it, I ran into this problem before with a different code.

What I did was e-mail their customer service, and explained my situation and what happenned. What they did will go down in my record books as the best custserv experience I have ever had.

They e-mailed me back in the afternoon, said they had added the coupon code to my account, and that because of the confusion, would take an extra 10% off of my bill. (even though I made the mistake!)

Order from them and you won't be dissapointed! :)

(EDIT: If you feel like going nuts like I did, order the full eye contacts. They are the most freaky thing I have ever seen. Link: https://www.clearlycontacts.ca/secure/shop1fproduct_CM.cfm?ProductCode=SFX134&ProdID=1378&Dispgroup=3&CatID=12 )

They send out the contact lens before a payment is made?

[ITsupport001]

They send out the contact lens before a payment is made?

If you have bought from them before, Yes

[The Shirker]

Has anyone tried O2optix and Acuvue Advance? I'm wondering which one of the two is better/more comfortable for all day wear.

[Toronto]

anyone order from clearlycontacts.ca before?

i don't use contacts but my sister does and may pass this deal to her.


I buy from them all the time. They are great. Once you place the order, they give you the option of paying immediately with a credit card. Great deal though OP.

[ghettogal]

I'm thinking of getting color contacts. Who has the best brand out there for that?

[Headhunter]

Thanks, posted.

[PurePlayaz]

Thanks for the post OP, going to order from them tongiht.

I'm thinking of getting color contacts. Who has the best brand out there for that?

Ive have used freshlook colorblends and i found that the colors are just right - its noticible enough but not overly extravagant.

The fitting is comfortable - ive worn them for over 40 hours straight before and had no problems - but thats just me.

[akira112]

Thanks for the deal!
I applied the coupon to the US prices, free shipping too! Wicked deal.

[BMDoubleYou]

You might want to reconfirm your order. I tried doing this and noticed that the Description showed the $45 discount but didnt get applied to the actual Total. I then called "Coastal Contacts", and they reconfirmed with their marketing department that the $45 discount can only be applied to the canadian site (clearlycontacts.ca).

I still cant complain, the price given to me on the canadian site is still way better then my local optician. Thanks for the great post OP. :D

Not too sure what that handling fee is, but it's cheap enough.

O2 optix feel a lot more comfortable. I tried Acuvue Advance, and yes they are good, but only for a short period of time. I've worn the O2's now for 3 weeks straight (without taking them off) and they still feel great.

P.S. I DON'T recommend doing that!

:D

What a great ideal. Talk to the marketing dept to alert them to the glitch in their system. (I'm just breaking your b@!!$ because you DID say you couldn't apply the coupon that's why you called them.)

It worked perfectly fine ordering with the coupon on the US site yesterday. Congrats on whoever else scored on that deal. It's obvious they didn't intend on offering this offer to the US site, but my order went through before they caught it. Unwritten RULE OF THUMB TO RFD'ers: Don't ever call a company and ask them if their deal is really that good.

My contacts were $81us. Beats the $142 I would've had to shell out with the same coupon on the canadian site. Thanks again OP.

[canadiantofu]

Brought my focus dailies from there. Service was fast, and they throw in a free pair of sunglasses at the same time. I was worried about needing my opto to verify my perscription, but it wasn't needed.

[nounou23]

Has anyone tried O2optix and Acuvue Advance? I'm wondering which one of the two is better/more comfortable for all day wear.

I've been using o2optix for about year now and I love it. 2 Box (1 for each eye) last me about 6 months. I use them about 4-5 weeks and for a month each. about 10 hours / day and they still feel great.

[ghettogal]

Do I really have to get a box for my left eye and one for my right? Or are they the same? I just want to try them out so I really don't need 6 pairs. Can I just get the one box or do they fit differently on each eye?

EDIT: I'm not nearsighted or farsighted so the degree from both eyes are just set to 0..do i still have to get a box of L and a box of R?

[ghettogal]

ok..is it just me? I'm trying to get 4 boxes of different color contacts (colorblends) and they won't let me. I can only order one color. Does anyone know how I can order 4 different colors?

[D-3vil]

This is a great deal. I would recommend against ordering new contacts that you've never tried before. I went through 4 different brands before settling on toric lenses that I felt most comfortable with. And unfortunately they are not being offered on this site :(

[temo]

Lol, damnit, I just read here that they didn't have an order confirmation screen and I still accidently placed an order. I was curious about trying Acuvue Oasys, but I haven't had any problems with my O2 Optix so it isn't a big deal.

[5fingerdeal]

Don't ya just love the strong Canadian dollar?! :cheesygri

Anyways, I just ordered through the US site and my total, after the coupon, came out to be $128.01 CAD (I did the conversion). I flipped over to the Canadian site and calculated the same order, with coupon, and it came out to be 184.95 CAD. :lol: :lol:

[ratpacker]

has anyone had any experience with the focus night&days? seems like a great deal, 6 in each box and each lenses is good for a month. that means for two eyes, even at regular price its only around $20/month?

i'm considering buying two boxes of that and there are recommendations against buying something you haven't tried, but you can't really trial a 30 day lens.

Sure you can. Go see your optometrist they get tons of them to give away.

Contact lenses are individual. I can't wear mine for more than two weeks, however my buddy wears his for months and sleeps 3 days in a row with them. Only way to know is to try it out first.

[Praetorian]

You'd probably get the best answer if you called them in yourself. Then you can post your answer here to benefit everyone else...

[The Shirker]

Can anyone answer my questions??? :confused:

I think there is an "add more" button or something. I've never tried it but maybe it's so you can add different items.

[xerox]

Can anyone answer my questions??? :confused:

if you don't need any prescriptions then there's no need to get different boxes for left or right eye. you can order 1 box.

i have the same prescription for both eyes, and I can interchange the lenses between my eye.

however you do have to care about the base curve and diameter of the lens still because everyone's eyes are different.. and the worst part is that each manufacturer is actually different fit as well.

that's why optimitrist have these contact lens fitting sessions where they let you try on different contact lens and find out which ones fit you best.

So I'd suggest you start there instead of buy contacts that doesn't fit you properly.

[bubble.tea]

BARGAIN coupon is invalid ????

Is there any customs/handling issues with ordering from the US site?

Where do I specify axis and diameter???

EDIT#1: ouch., hehe., order was <120 :( :D
EDIT#2:
Okay so this is my pending order., which possible is BLAZIN' HOT!

Where's the taxes? Does anyone charge me taxes?
561 Focus Dailies 90 Pack
OS: Power: -2.75
OD: Power: -2.50
4 Boxes $35.89 $0.00 $0.00 $9.33 $152.89
BARGAIN DISCOUNT - $45 OFF - $45.00
SHP-1001 Shipping (Priority Ground) $0.00
Total $107.89


Also...I've chosen 4 boxes, and 2 different prescriptions...where does it say 2 of 1 power and 2boxes of the other? Do they just assume you want halfNhalf? Why do I feel like I'm ordering a cawfee hehe.

[bubble.tea]

Just beware that the order will process even before you submit.

I entered my information and proper address etc. just to see if the coupon would work and if there was a $10 processing fee and BANG I got an email confirming that my order was placed.

whaaaaaaaaat? What a scam. fyi haven't received this rogue confirmation email yet., and I've "buy it now" twice so far hehe.

[BMDoubleYou]

For anyone ordering from Vancouver, you should be able to get your order in 1 day. I placed my order yesterday, and had it in my hands first thing today. Savings + excellent shipping service = one happy RFDer :)

[JB7]

When I get to the part where you put in your credit card details on coastalcontacts.com, the $45 isn't taken off so I guess it doesn't work for the US site anymore.

EDIT: NVM, on the US site you need to have your order above $120 to use that coupon code.

[sans]

whaaaaaaaaat? What a scam. fyi haven't received this rogue confirmation email yet., and I've "buy it now" twice so far hehe.

it's because you were ordering on coastalcontacts.com
dogbolter's comment is in regards to clearlycontacts.ca - once you hit submit, your order is processed. you will get your order confirmation # and method of payment will show up as "invoice".

with coastalcontacts.com, once you hit the buy now button you get a screen showing the coupon code discount and it also allow you to have the option of entering your credit card info., then pressing "continue" to place your order. then the next screen will show your order #.

lucky you had used coastalcontacts.com and not clearlycontacts.ca otherwise your order would have gone through. there is no next screen with a "continue" button at clearlycontacts.ca

ordering from coastalcontacts.com is much better and it costs much less too.

[Steeve Urkel]

If you have bought from them before, Yes

actually they send out your order without you paying anything even when you are a new customer.

Thats what happened the first time I ordered from them!

I am quite happy with the service as my optical store I used to shop at for contacts (Laurier Optical- Rideau location) would be so slow to get my orders in it would take them 6-8 weeks! :mad:

then I'd be completely out of contacts and would have to keep on gettinf sample pairs...aaargh! :mad:

anyway, glad i don't have to deal with that crap now....I'd pay more just to get my contacts at home- so I'm happy this company is great!

Laurier Optical is still really good for eyeglasses though, they have very nice designer frames for super cheap!
so, they still have my eyeglasses business

[bubble.tea]

I'm wondering., my diameter is 13.8 and base curvature is 8.6

When I'm choosing the toric ones., none of them share both numbers. Either diamtere is right, and base is a few decimla places off or the reverse.

Anyone know what the proper thing to do is? If we can choose the next size...if so better to go one smaller or one larger?

Man., I can't believe there's such a crappier pricing for Toric lenses :(

I was gonna drop 4 boxes of focus dailies 90pack for 100 all in., but now that I learned astigmatism needs TORIC BRANDED lenses the price has jumped over 150 after rebates and such for only 80% the same number of lenses as before :(

[bugga]

When ordering from the US site, do you have to pay duty and customs charges?

[orion747]

Hella cheap - 1 year supply of Acuvue 1 days is about $400 CAD. My optomistrist is pretty cheap and still wants 700 for them. That's a huge savings! Went via the US site.

Can we use the coupon code multiple times? I only got a 3 month supply to test things out as the BC and DIA numbers are slightly off my current ones, but they are from a different mfg. I've worn the Acuvue's before and know they work on me.

[JB7]

Thanks, aweinman. The $45 off coupon was a great find. We ordered 2 boxes of focus night and day contacts from coastalcontacts.com and also added a pair of sunglasses to bring the total over $120. Too bad you can't stack coupon codes. :lol:

[migz23]

bubble tea i feel you on those toric prices man.

anyway, walmart wouldn't give me a prescription even after my fitting and after spending hours looking for an optometrist who would actually give me a prescription, i end up spending 50 bucks for fitting. well that's not bad since the guy seems very professional and understanding about me ordering elsewhere. but the porblem is he won't be able to give me a prescription until the fitting process ends which is probably in a couple of weeks.

i was planning to order the lenses tomorrow w/ random numbers and using the coupon. then exchanging them within the 30 day period. has anyone done the exchange process w/ them and is it time consuming? i mean for them to send your exchanged lenses. or is it just as problem free as the ordering. i did read about how to send in the exchanges it just doesnt say how quickly these things can occur.

[Steeve Urkel]

I couldn't get the coupon to work for me.

I got to the checkout and it says it was expired???

may 31 is not done yet though.... :confused:

guess I'll be calling them tommorow to see if it works.

the colored contacts are a great deal...less than 1/2 of what my optician charges- they want $70 a box/ vs $30 on their site!

and there is a $30 mail in rebate (US only, but I also have a US address :)

I better be off to sleep, RFD is killing me :D

I had my fitting done at Laurier Optical rideau and also the Carlingwood one and they told me there that if I wanted I could try the regular lenses- even though I have an Astigmatism also.

I didn't notice that much difference between that and the Toric lenses honestly.

So, you should try and find an optician that will let you try different lenses.
Laurier at Rideau is great for that.

The optician I saw today kind of sucks as they would only give me 1 trial pair, while at Laurier I've gotten about 10 different brands to try and they only charged me a $20? or so fitting fee once.

Also, the salespeople there, some of them know how to change your prescription- so they just converted it for me a few times and I haven't had any problems :)

I would really recomend them for figuring out your prescription.
-I went to the place beside Lenscrafters- and they are good but paid mure than I should have :mad:

why would you WANT your prescription unnecessarily changed :confused:

Ordered my 6 box of o2optix on monday from coastalcontacts.com and got them today in the mail. I can't beleive that I saved over 100$ on 6 box. (I usualy by them at costco at 32$ / box) I got them all for 85$.

first time wearer should not order from through websites. get them from your optometrist or places like hakim. they'll fit you with the right contact lenses and get you the proper prescription, and show you how to properly care for your lenses, and which solution to use.

contact lense prescription differs from the eyeglasses prescription.

ordering through website is good if you already have a prescription and know how to care for your lenses.

[kendorama]

I ordered mine from coastal contacts on Friday, received them today, $84.64 USD.

They get shipped from Vancouver so there's no duty charges, the invoice and box actually say Clearlycontacts.ca even though I ordered it from the US site which saved me at least $40.

[kendorama]

Oh, as far as the diameter and base curve numbers, in general if you don't have astigmatism you should be relatively OK wearing most of them. I've worn 8.3 - 8.9 curve and 14 - 14.6 diameter and been fine with all of them.

[Praetorian]

I got the same error message...seems as though $45 coupon code has expired on coastalcontacts.com. Can anyone else verify?

Got it to work now! Bump for the last day to take advantage of this certified great deal!

[qwik]

Man this deal is hot! I ordered this twice on Coastalcontacts.com to get the best deal! 6 boxes of O2Optix

6 Boxes $18.89 +$7.36 = $120.70
BARGAIN DISCOUNT - $45 OFF -$45.00
SHP-1001 Shipping (Priority Post) $0.00
TOTAL $75.70

Thats less than $5 a pair!! Now I'm set for a year and a half!

How often does a coupon as good as this come along for coastal contacts? Or was this a rare glitch cause it was supposed to be for the Canadian site only?

[Chodu]

it says expired now..

[Xert]

You can still get it, but you have to call them up now since their site isn't working. They're on the west coast, so you should have a couple more hours before they close...

[Chodu]

nevermind it worked on the canadian site

Hmm, that's weird. We ordered last night and got an order # and everything but not a confirmation email.

[InvisibleSoul]

O2 optix feel a lot more comfortable. I tried Acuvue Advance, and yes they are good, but only for a short period of time. I've worn the O2's now for 3 weeks straight (without taking them off) and they still feel great.

P.S. I DON'T recommend doing that!
You think that's bad? I've been wearing my pair of O2Optix for, I'm pretty sure, over four months continuously now. :eek:

No, they're not glued to my eyes...

[ratpacker]

when is this code supposed to apply? i click through with an order of over $120 on the US site and on the view cart it hasn't applied yet. so i called coastalcontacts and the agent asked me where i'm calling from. when i say vancouver, she said the "bargain" code only applies for toronto and ottawa? ********.

[qwik]

so i called coastalcontacts and the agent asked me where i'm calling from. when i say vancouver, she said the "bargain" code only applies for toronto and ottawa? ********.

Thats weird because I applied the code on Coastal and it showed me the rebate - this is before they asked for my address.

[ratpacker]

never mind, got it to work when i click through past view cart. i was just worried that it would automatically submit an order like on clearlycontacts when you click buy now.

You think that's bad? I've been wearing my pair of O2Optix for, I'm pretty sure, over four months continuously now. :eek:

No, they're not glued to my eyes...

i wore my last pair of dailies for over 2 weeks before i could order more. shouldn't have done that, don't wanna screw up my eyesight.

[deep]

Well I tried the US site today to get 4 boxes of Focus dailies for my wife. If all goes well, it's $107US vs $226CAD, so a huge savings.

Thanks very much for the linkage.

[bjan]

wow! i want contacts now, but i have a slight astigmatism :(

Get Toric lenses.

[B40]

i wore my last pair of dailies for over 2 weeks before i could order more. shouldn't have done that, don't wanna screw up my eyesight.

I wish I read this before placing my order... I got some Acuvue Advance, but I would love to try these O2 Optix out. Why don't you guys take it out every once in awhile over night? That lazy? :razz:

And I also had the order problem.. I submitted one order, but it seemed I got two invoices in my email, one was from when I was testing stuff out to see prices.. Going to call tomorrow and get it straightened out.

Edit: I got 2 order confirmations, but only 1 e-invoice payment confirmation... so I think it might be right.

[ITsupport001]

You think that's bad? I've been wearing my pair of O2Optix for, I'm pretty sure, over four months continuously now. :eek:

No, they're not glued to my eyes...

I would recommend taking them out for at least a night.

I went about a year... and then woke up one morning with one missing behind my eye.

4 hours and an emergency room later, I couldn't wear them for a long time...

But who actually follows those rules anyways???

A monthly pair can effectively last you six months.. I wonder if they purposely try to scare you?

You went a year without taking them out? Which kind?

But... how did it suddenly one night get behind your eye? Doesn't sound like it actually has anything to do with wearing them longterm... more like a freak incident.

Actually, I just checked when I got my contacts... ordered them online early August, and this is my second pair. If I recall correctly, I don't remember wearing my first pair THAT long... I think probably two months, definitely not more than three... so I've actually worn my current pair for around 7 months.

[tt_boy]

A monthly pair can effectively last you six months.. I wonder if they purposely try to scare you?

-depends on how long you wear them for
-as you wear them longer, the surface gets contaminated
-the surface of soft lenses is specially designed for oxygen exhange
-contaminants reduce the effectiveness of surface to pass oxygen to your eyes
-as your eyes suffocate, veins grow from your retina out (close to the surface) to try and capture more oxygen
-this is followed by loss of vision

Since contacts are dirt cheap, I personally dont take chances with my vision, but hey, go ahead and wear them for 6 months....

[dogbolter]

It's basic hygiene here boys, would you wear the same pair of underwear for 6 months straight?...you could, just not recommended.

[jory29]

I got my contacts today! {ordered through the Canadian website.} Alberta location. That was very fast!

[InvisibleSoul]

It's basic hygiene here boys, would you wear the same pair of underwear for 6 months straight?...you could, just not recommended.
Well, the underwear would start smelling and looking nasty.

For the contacts, there doesn't seem to be any apparent sensible (relating to your senses) reasons...

[B40]

Well, the underwear would start smelling and looking nasty.

Yup, it's different... these contacts are designed for continuous wear, but even then, I don't think there's any point in wearing them at night..

[orion747]

Got my Acuvue 1 Day lenses in less than 2 business days. Super quick shipping!

Damn daily disposable Acuvues are ridiculously expensive, $700 a year if I buy from the optometrist. Can't wear cheaper Focus dailies as my eye mysteriously warps them. :!: Love the daily lenses though, so much cleaner (no scratchy feeling when you 1st put them in)

Will definately buy from these guys again.

[weebg]

Got my O2Optix in two business days from the .com site. I'm impressed with the order process. They even gave me a tracking number to see its progress from the canada post site.

All I can say is that I saved a whole lotta cash buying them online. Even Costco sells a box for $26 and change. I ended up paying around USD$12 (CDN $14) instead.

[weetabix]

Ordered my Toric Lenses on the 31st from the US site and got them today. Super fast shipping. There was a free pair of sunglasses in the box too. Will definitely deal with them again.

[surfmonster]

Since the code "BARGAIN" expired May 31st (I missed this post). Does anyone know how often they run specials? I would like to order, but I would really like to use a discount coupon also.

[gknuth]

[JB7]

Got my order on Friday. Thanks again OP. The coupon was such a good find.

[shutterbug]

So I guess you guys who got your orders didn't bother to fax in or confirm the prescription?

Hopefully this deals comes again soon. I desperately need contacts.

Thanks.

[bjan]

I did the first time around - then called them for confirmation - it turns out for Canadian orders you don't need to fax in the prescription.

[rvs007]

Ordered from Costalcontacts.com on Tuesday (May 30) and received my contacts Friday (June 2)! The $45 off coupon worked and I saved an additional $14 by ordering through the U.S. site. And there was a free pair of sunglasses in the box!

Thanks OP!!!

[deep]

I faxed in my prescription, but according to the package, it was mailed before I did so..... :)

[cuto]

isn't the deal dead now? i thought the deadline was end of may?!?!

[tienm23]

I'm still waiting for my O2 Optix...got a message today that they are on backorder.

[Smoothie]

Hmm, I get redirected to the Canadian site eventhough I typed in .com.
I hope they have more coupons comin out, seems like a great price for contacts!

[rvs007]

This is the first time I've seen or even heard of this site... Usually Vision Direct has 10% off coupons all the time, but I'm glad I waited as $45 off $120 was a hot deal..

Hopefully they will have more in the future for those who missed out.

[injanear]

so they ship from vancouver even for the .com site? Then wont they charge you pst and gst if you are from BC and just gst for Ont (even ordering from US site)?

[rvs007]

^^ Even though it was shipped from Vancouver, the invoice was processed in USD and there was no GST or PST.

[TheHans]

Hi,

I got my contacts today from clearlycontacts.ca. I don't know if this is normal, but I had an insert in the box with a coupon code for saving $20 when you buy four boxes of the Clearly brand of contacts:

CLEARLY20OFF

Good until June 30, 2006 it says. I have no idea if it will work on coastalcontacts.com. And I'm not familiar with the Clearly brand. Is it generic or something?

The Hans

[timmay]

Ordered my lenses on the evening of the 31st...received them here in Winnipeg, Manitoba on the 3rd...

Very impressed with the prices..I pay $180 at my eye doctor for my lenses, and got the same lenses from this company for $95..wicked! :)

[rvs007]

The coupon is for $20 off their Clearly brand only... And you don't need to have over $100... I just tested it using 4 boxes of Clearly brand lenses @ $19.49/box and the sub-total comes to $82.02. So the order would be $69.97 after shipping and applying the coupon.

[dogbolter]

Now if there was only a way to claim the $20 USD rebate on my Acuvue2's from the US site. (US residents only)

[WeeB]

anyone know of any other coupon codes for this site or any canadian contact site? I need to order some in the next week.

thanks

[migz23]

i also need a code

[nookie015]

so they ship from vancouver even for the .com site? Then wont they charge you pst and gst if you are from BC and just gst for Ont (even ordering from US site)?

I have been ordering from this company for years. They are located in Vancouver, and also in Blaine, WA, so no matter where you order from, you'll get your order from Vancouver (if you live in Canada)... at least.. that's been my experience. They never used to have two sites, that only started a few years ago.

[alice99]

I am new here.
I am wondering if the company gives you a formal sales invoice? I want to claim my insurance.
It looks a great deal in the website.
Could anyone who ordered before give me a reply?

[rvs007]

Yes, I believe a sales invoice is included in the package.

[|CB4|]

If I have 15 and 175 as axis, can I use 10 or 20 and 170 or 180.

[warpdryv]

i clicked my refill link - they're charging $7 more per box than if i ordered from scratch!

scam!

[kingandjen]

i ordered at Clearly Contacts b4.. the contact lens are what as described..

but i think buying contact lens from Costco is much better because of their service and quality

it's only $1 or $2 dollars more expensive and you dont' have to wait for shipping

[importpsycho]

i clicked my refill link - they're charging $7 more per box than if i ordered from scratch!

scam!


for some reason, their sale price doesn't work when you use refill link
just order from sale link
it's just a glitch

[weedb0y]

or a technique like what amazon uses as well.. initial prices are cheaper then what u get afterwards.. (if you dont notice it..its more margin for them)

btw, is the coupon still working?

[surfmonster]

btw, is the coupon still working?

The original Coupon "BARGAIN" expired at the end of May. The other coupon mentioned "CLEARLY20OFF" only works on the Clearly brand of contacts. I am hoping they have a new coupon or sale soon as I am getting low on the old eyeball covers.

[iandi]

for some reason, their sale price doesn't work when you use refill link
just order from sale link

I just noticed that as well...

[warthunder2k]

We need more coupons!

[importpsycho]

man, i really need to order some, i'm down to my last pair
I know they'll release a coupon after as soon as i make an order...
just my luck :lol:

[Phyrexian_13]

ya, same here, down to my last pair too!!

[Kat]

Yes, I believe a sales invoice is included in the package.

There is a sale invoice in the package, but note that (at least from Costal) the price was in US dollars on the invoice, but no where does it actually say "USD"... So if you're claiming you'll miss a few buck...

Not a huge deal (considering I ordered some with the 40 dollar of coupon a while ago, so the savings were nice)...

[TheHans]

Hi,

I came across an Internet coupon that (supposedly) gives $45 off an order via coastalcontacts.com. I don't know if it works, or if it works at clearlycontacts.ca. Here's the code:

That code worked for me on clearlycontacts.ca for $45 off a $120 order. Tried a $50 order, didn't work. Anyone know the expiry date?

[warthunder2k]

Hey Thanks A LOT for the coupon. I tried it on Coastalcontacts and it works, but it has to be an order of 100$ or more. So my total is 61.03 (US) with free shipping, which is less than half what it costed me last time on they canadien site without a coupon. Thanks again!

[TheHans]

That code worked for me on clearlycontacts.ca for $45 off a $120 order. Tried a $50 order, didn't work. Anyone know the expiry date?

I just stumbled upon it. I think the site said the coupon code was posted on July 9. There was no expiry date listed there. It makes sense that it would be for an order over $100 (although it didn't say), as that's what the last $45-off coupon was for -- or was the other for $45 off $120? If so, and this one works for $100, then it's a great coupon.

The Hans

[blahzay163]

I just placed an order with the customer rep, it has to be $120.00 CAN and over. She tried twice for me with orders, $90 and $105, both did not work. But it did work on my 3rd order for $137. Good deal, cant wait to get em.

[bugga]

I just tried it. Total before coupon $112.86, with coupon total = $67.86 for two boxes of toric lenses. Great deal! Thanks!

[thendless]

Just made an order for Acuvue Oasys! Been waiting for a new coupon, 73.81 for 4 boxes is hot as hell!!!!!

[PriceChopper]

Thanks for the new coupon code!! Needed a refill soon, and I just saved a ton of money.

[Loud]

First time buyer...$124 US for four boxes of Focus Torics. I think the last time I bought them, they were $200+ Cdn? Thanks much guys.

[neilc]

Worked for me too, got $45 off $147 (at clearlycontacts.ca).

As a note, if you use the "service" of entering your email address and postal code to get your last order, you may be charged more than if you clear the cookies from your browser and re-add the items to your cart.
I'm sure all you RFDers already knew about that though. ;)

Also, I've ordered contacts from clearlycontacts.ca before, and was happy with their service. I then tried to save money the next time by ordering from visiondirect.com (ships from US), which was a bad experience. It took over 1 month for the contacts to arrive (got stuck in customs), and I had to pay quite a bit in duties, so ended up saving only a marginal amount.


Thanks very much for the code.

[Pro]

Awesome! Thanks for the coupon! It worked at the www.coastalcontacts.com site. I was kicking myself for missing out on this coupon deal last time but that was mainly because I had just started wearing contacts and wasn't sure which ones were right for me. I just ordered 4 boxes of the Acuvue Oasys contacts. I love being able to see without wearing glasses! Thanks again!

yea you have clear cookies to get the sale price
kept showing it as 31 when it was on sale for 28

one other thing I hate about this site is that you dont know the final price until after you submit the order....

[purple_rabbit]

Edit: Nevermind question got answered by reading through this huge piece of crap of a thread lol

[surfmonster]

Code worked like a charm for me on the US site (www.coastalcontacts.com)...saved $45 on a $130 order...SWEEET. Thanks to the new coupon code.

[dogbolter]

I just priced out 6 boxes of Accuvue Advance on both sites with the coupon (which worked on both sites BTW)

coastalcontacts $69 USD
clearlycontacts $130 CDN

Guess I know where I will be placing my next order.

Again, I would remind everyone that both sites are very quick to accept orders so if you are just pricing be sure to use a fake addy...if they get enough fake orders maybe they will fix the system.

[warpdryv]

Wow - for anyone new to clearlycontacts.ca be VERY careful with web site ordering page! I tried to test to see if the $45 off coupon works (it does - anything over $100), and it sent me to a page confirming that my order was placed! (Then e-mailed me my order #, etc). I had to call their 1-800# to cancel my order - they were very polite about it, and said that tons of people have had that problem lately.

Would like to try out contacts, I have never worn them before, and I know you can't answer everything in this thread, so can anyone point me to a good contact lens info site? How do I even choose, there are so many types.

Also, since the prescription is different for contacts (just two numbers right?), I would have to go back to the optometrist to get a prescription? Or can I get it from Lens Crafters or wherever (without buying contacts from them?) and buy them online?

Thanks

[nanirina]

hi, could someone please PM me the clearly contacts save $45 off $120 code? I tried to google it but didn't find anyting thank!

soarlow i found this site pretty good for info
http://www.allaboutvision.com/contacts/

[nanirina]

The US coastal contacts has a link to a rebate form ($30) which is only valid for US residents. But i know that my doctor would give me a $30 rebate for Canadian residents if i ordered from him. Does anyone know how to get one without having to purcahse form BM stores in Canada thanks!

[M.D.]

when does this coupon expire and is it still: BARGAIN ?

OP should edit first post if possible

[warpdryv]

sweet - worked for me - i wonder why the coupon discount doesn't show up until checkout? i was nervous hitting the buy now button, but i got my $45 off.

bargain is expired, but you can find the new code if you google (include clipfire - one sweet site if you ask me).

thanks all!!!

hey - are these one time only coupons, or can i repeat my order and get the same discount?

[soarlow]

anyone tell me if I can get an eye exam and get the prescription from a place like Lenscrafters or any optical shop, and not actually buy from them? Wouldn't it be weird to walk in, get a prescription, and not purchase?

I don't want to have to schedule an appt with my optometrist, then go all the way out to his office...(plus I hate my optometrist) Or are there "walk in" optometrists?

[steve.m]

not weird at all. You are paying to get the eye exam and prescription written. Then when they try to sell you contacts tell them how you can get them cheaper and ask them to price match and see if they will bargin.

eg my optometrist charges me $100 (i go to her because she does a realy detailed job during the eye exam with many tests) then get the prescription written on paper and head to the walmart. :cheesygri

[Div]

Don't you require a special "fitting" for the contacts? Or is that just for toric lenses? How would you go about doing that if ordering from this website?

[soarlow]

that is different though, no? you are going to your optometrist (do optometrists sell glasses??) and then going to Walmart or whatever optical shop... which is what everyone does?

But i mean getting the eye exam right at the optical shop itself, and then not buying anything..?

by the way, how much is an eye exam at the optical shop? $50?

[biggunstwo]

Thanks

[steve.m]

hmmm She (my OPT) has a shop.
my optometrists sells glasses and contacts, many do. I just go because "she gives good exam." :) and i get the prescription written out.

Then i go to walmart to buy. On my first visit to walmart they had me give them $45 "fitting" charge. It was a McDonalds pretend eye exam less than 3 minutes with two quick eye tests and no drops put in eyes and eyes not examined with light.

I asked and was told by the Walmart it (the mini eye exam) is more to make sure the prescription I was given from my OPT is not way off or possibly faked. It is there to keep Walmart out of trouble in a way and i agree. After that (4 years ago) all I have to do is go there with a new prescrption from my real OPT and Walmart just orders contacts right away, no fitting fee, etc.

If you go to walmart they should give you a much better eye exam than they gave me since you have no written prescription.

I am not obliged to buy from my OPT shop after the eye exam (she sells contacts and glasses) and has a wall display.

"getting the eye exam right at the optical shop itself, and then not buying anything..?"

but this is not free and you should not feel obliged to buy from them unless they give you a good deal. You paid for the exam and it is not cheap, well unless they do a quick eye exam. But I had that done once and it was not worth it, the contacts i got, the prescription I got was off and my sight was blurry. beware. Having a good OPT that knows your history and type of eye (dry, mis-shaped, etc) is gold, and will prescribe and suggest good contacts.

I guess I am Emphasizing "don't feel bad/obliged to buy at the same place you got you exam" because my mom got owned (overcharged) by my OPT just for lenses $450. After her exam they slickly sold her new lenses. Once I found out I called and could not cancel because "they have been ordered.” RIPOFF!

I'm the original poster of this most recent coupon. I'm not sure why it was removed, as people are still getting the code in a very Rube Goldberg kind of way, that being asking for PMs, then waiting, then getting PMs. Anyway, I'll PM anyone the code who PMs me for it. Unless a post comes up that says it's verboten to PM the coupon code.

[importpsycho]

I dont know why CC removed the code while they are still honoring the code....

[matthewc11]

I found't their lowest price guarantee to be difficult as well. They make it very difficult to price match visiondirect(who almost always have cheaper contacts than them.) When I called them up to price match they wanted me to order from vision direct, fax them invoice then cancel my vision direct order so that they could compare shipping costs. Didn't seem worth my effort not to just order from vision direct at that point since they only 100% price match. They are much faster at shipping in Canada than vision direct though.

Seems odd to have a lowest price guarantee when another site always has lower prices.

[sans]

thanks for the coupon code. still works. :)

Three questions for those who have taken advantage of this deal...

1) How much is shipping from CoastalContacts.com to Canada (assuming you make it at least a $100 order)?

2) How do they ship it? US Postal? UPS (Aaah!)? something else?

3) And does the order have to be >$100 *after* the coupon to qualify? Or can you get free/cheaper shipping if it's $100 minus the $45 coupon?

Thanks!

Order from CoastalContacts.com and ship to Canada:

Over $99 order is free shipping but charge ~$6 handling fees. So shipping and handling is ~$6.

My order is shipped from BC, even I ordered in the US web site and paid in US dollar, it may depends on stock situation?

Free shipping is $99 order before $45 coupon, so total is $54 + handling fees and free shipping if you order is $99.

Thanks leehoyuen! I couldn't find anything on their site about Canadian-specific shipping methods/fees.

Anyone order from coastal contacts recently?

I just tried to place an order twice this morning and got this message each time when I push the 'buy now' button:

[tienm23]

Order some this morning. Great deal !

[sk_chicka]

Hi

I never wore contacts before (I've always worn glasses). This will be my first purchase, so I was wondering which would be better for a newbie like me. Daily, weekly or monthly? What would be easier to handle and more hassle-free. I'll go to my opt today and get my prescription!

[milhaus]

With the coupon, this is a smoking deal. 6 boxes of acuvue advance for about $80 CAD. I went to my optician; 1 box is $35!!

[krs]

Their webpage doesn't seem to be compatible with Safari when it comes to completing the order.
I subsequently tried firefox and that worked.

However, I was rather annoyed that they offer free shipping and then tack on a $9.85 handling charge at the last minute.

I previously ordered from Vision direct in the US, they charged $5.99 shipping (no additional handling charge), but their coupon at the time was only $US25.00; the $US45 coupon definitely makes this a better deal.

I would discuss this in detail with your eye doctor.
What's best varies for each individual, I doubt anyone can give you valid advice just like that over the net.
I went from glasses to gas-permeable hard lenses because you can focus better with those than with soft lenses, but they're harder to get used to.

[purple_rabbit]

Just received my package! Shipping is really fast!

They ship out of Vancouver so no need to worry about customs etc..

Hi,

I totally agree with you in this regard. I think it's a bit misleading to offer "free shipping," then to tack on a "handling" charge instead. A rose by any other name, so to speak. When I ordered from clearlycontacts.ca, the order was placed immediately once I pushed "Buy Now" without having the opportunity to look it over first (as others have pointed out) and I was surprised to see the handling charge. I went back to the previous screen and didn't see anything about a handling charge. I actually looked all over the site and -- unless the site's been changed -- it didn't say anything anywhere on the site about a handling charge. So I phoned them up and they took off the charge. Certainly I plan to do the same thing again in that regard when I re-order. They really shouldn't be tacking on a handling charge without saying in advance that they're going to do so.

Having said all that...still a super deal with $45 off!

I just talked to CoastalContacts.com and apparently the code is for US Residence only.

I placed an order thinking that I had entered the code correctly but didn't i guess :(
So I have now received the product but didn't get my discount.
I then make the call to ask them to apply the code, but they said no (see reason above). However, they will do a one-time adjustment for me IF I can get them the name /order number of a person who has successfully used this code.

anyhoo...i've pm'd 2 fellow rdf'er for help... [fingers crossed] heres hoping i get my discount:)

Lucky I got my confirmation this morning.

Received my order - crazy fast shipping! Will definitely do business with clearlycontacts.ca again.

Hopefully they will continue to attract new customers with promotions like this one.

[purple_rabbit]

I hope they don't kill off the deal.

Kenny C: Got your PM, Sorry if I give you my order number they will find out that a whole bunch of canadians are getting in on the deal.

The deal was always meant for US residence only.

the fact that you got the deal already is fine...they cannot renege on that.

yes i did mention rdf...i emailed them the link to this post and they said that they are gonna go and reverse all ordered that....just kidding man...sorry that prolly wasnt funny to some of you uptight exploiter of company errors...

but anyhoo...i would never reveal rfd as my source, never!!

[soarlow]

just got a prescription written, but I heard that the prescription for glasses must be converted to one for contacts (since contacts are on the eye while glasses lenses are away) Therefore I can't just enter the numbers on my prescription on the clearlycontacts site right? How do I go about getting the correct conversion?

If you have never worn contact lenses before, I highly recommend that you visit a lens specialist first. They can recommend specific contacts for your particular prescription. You don't have to buy anything that they offer - just write down the names of the contacts, prices, etc.

i couldnt agree more...in addition to helping you find the right lense (like archimed stated), having someone there at the doctors office to help you put in the lenses is great. putting in contacts for the first few times is very tricky and scary for a lot of people.

the conversion from glasses prescription to contacts prescription will usually result in a lower number. ie. a -11.50 converses to a -10.00 for contacts.

if u are just starting out, dont take chances. go see your eye doctor for proper fitting and information first. the savings is not worth the risk if you dont know much about contacts.

[TDA]

Thanks for the new code!

Works and saved a TON over my opto... got 5 boxes for the price of 1 box from my opto of OaSYS!

I also think for a first-time wearer it doesn't hurt to pay that "fitting fee" (like $15 at Wal-Mart Optical) and have them give you the right prescription for lenses but also -- and maybe more importantly for a first-timer -- try lenses until you find one that's right for you. At Wal-Mart, you can try relatively limitless pairs. After wearing a pair for a week or so, it's pretty clear which one's the best for you. Then you write down the details from the little blister packages and order online.

The deal was always meant for US residence only.
They won't reverse orders, and I already received mine, so it doesn't hurt me. However, they might, as in many previous cases, end the deal or seal the loophole: you said yourself, "The deal was always meant for US residence only." Right, so we get the deal because of an error!! It's happened many times before, and it is usually newbs who wind up ruining it for those who haven't gotten in on it yet. If you've been around RFD long enough, you would have seen it happen a few times.

dude, some of us are not so desperate for deals that were never meant to be...i dont have to be around rfd long enuff to know that its unethical to knowingly exploit an error for my benefit.

if you really really wanna know how my convo with them went then here it is summed up:

me: hi i placed an order for contacts with a xxxxx coupon code but the discount did not show up on my invoice.

cc: sir that code is for US residence only

me: oh really? my friend gave me this code and said it was good bc he had used it already.

cc: is your friend in Canada?

me: yes

cc: ok well if you can give me his name or order number to check then i will give you the same discount just this one time only. so call us back with that and we will gladly discount it.

me: ok thanks

[milhaus]

Please, you and your ethics . . . You were unethical enough to search for and try to use the coupon code when the mods already clearly stated that CC wanted it pulled (see above). Unfortuately, you weren't quite smart enough to use it properly.

i'm gonna remove my contacts so i don't have to read all arguments about the code. :D

lol...my order was placed on July9/06...way before this code was publicly shared, during which i did not know this was a US-only code.

now why do you have to go and say that i am not smart...i hold a B.Comm and am about to get me CA...i may control one of your multimillion dollar companies one day.

wow all of this happened while I was out lol

[warpdryv]

Thanks, placed an order. Lets see how it goes.
Got it today, 4 days later. Came with free sunglasses, and coupon was honored. I am very satisfied with the purchase.

That happened to me as well because I also ordered more a more specialty lens. They said they only keep the more "normal" ones in stock. On the good side, they did come in on the date promised.

Torics are custom ordered - i.e. to fit your particular astigmatism - so they will definitely take longer than mass produced lenses.

Has anyone had a problem claiming from your canadian insurance company?

Also, what method do they use to ship from US? Anyone had problems with customs?

Thanks for all ur replies.

I'm about to place another order on the US site. But the last time I did earlier this year, the package came from BC via Xpresspost. The invoice is Canadian and has no indication that you ordered from the US. However, be aware that the total price listed is what you paid in USD (but again, no indication of currency). So I don't see any problem claming insurance, it's just that you won't get all that you paid for.

[eliteblaze]

coupon dead?

[krs]

I just tried a "dummy" order.
Coupon still works for me.

It also doesn't say anywhere on the site that the coupon is for US addresses only. Why should it be?
The US site obviously caters to Canadian customers (pull down for provinces in addition to the US states). I think the guy who told you it's for US customers only is off in left field.

As to claiming the cost with a Canadian insurance company. I bought contacts previously from Vision Direct in the US when they had a discount coupon.
No problem - amount was converted to Cdn $ and the insurance paid. But it could depend on the specific insurance.

[Ointment]

I placed an order on July 24th, screwed up the "coupon" applying part, and then emailed their customer service, asking them if they'd kindly take care of the issue...

I got the following reply from their CS dept:
Thank you for your recent email to Clearly Contacts. The coupon code BARGAIN is an old coupon and expired I believe in May . I am sorry for any inconveniences that this matter may cause you. If you have any further questions or concerns please do not hesitate to contact us.
Thanks,

what you should've done was ask them to cancel this order.

then re-order it using the correct new coupon code. :) still works as of this morning.

when you re-order -> order it from coastalcontacts.com
it'll save you more $ in comparison to clearlycontacts.ca

god, does nobody read the entire thread anymore? lots of reasons given as to why you should order from coastalcontacts.com :mad: :lol:

if you had read the entire thread you would've realized the old code does not work. and why you should not order from clearlycontacts.ca

since the code works on both coastalcontacts.com and clearlycontacts.ca, why order from clearlycontacts.ca?

has the order shipped? if not, email them right away you want it cancel. tomorrow, pick up the phone and call them saying you want to cancel it.

then re-order it w/ the new coupon on coastalcontacts.com. hopefully new coupon will will continue to work in the next few days. :) (nobody seems to know the expiry date.)

good luck.

since you ordered it on july 24, you probably already received it?
