Inconvenient

I am a client of specsavers @ Newcastle corner, yesterday I went for my appointment as scheduled, the reception was not welcoming nor very efficient. I arrived earlier in order to select a frame beforehand, none of the frames I looked at on their Website was available. In passing I made a comment that Execuspecs in the Newcastle Mall had a wide variety better than specsavers. The receptionist said I may go choose a frame there and then it will be sent over to specsavers. Fortunately I was going to the mall, I chose frame and the lady there said nothing further. After lodging a complaint to customer care, specsavers calls me back and said they e-mailed the quote. I accepted the quote and told the lady I would go ib at 14h00 to make payment and she said it was fine. Then the lady from Execuspecs phoned me and said I have two options. If I wish to pay today 18/12/2024 then I must go all the way to the mall (against my will) or I can go to specsavers Newcastle corner tomorrow (19/12/24) to pay and take measurements of my eyes for my spectacles. Not one person ever mentioned that I must measure my eyes and so on. It's very inconvenient for me AND I WILL NEVER MAKE USE OF SPECSAVERS OR EXECUSPECS IN NEWCASTLE AGAIN

Dear  Vernon.
 Thank you for taking the time to bring this matter to our attention, this is not the level of service that we strive for as a brand. Your matter has been escalated and a representative will be in direct contact with you to discuss.

Reviewer Update
I am terribly unhappy with the service at specsavers newcastle, the optometrist was as professional as she could be however the reception assistant was not the most helpful of people. Yesterday the lady from Execuspecs called me with two options, either go all the way to the mall for a fitting and measurement (it's out of my way and inconvenient because i use public transport) and make payment or go to the specsavers branch today 2024-12-19 which is closer for me. I decided to be courteous and wait for the branch to call me and say they have my chosen frame and I must come in for the fitting.
Not a single person from specsavers newcastle corner branch has contacted me.
I will pay for eye test and that's it, I will take my prescription to an independent optometrist.
Thanks for the bad service, I am done with specsavers newcastle and Execuspecs
