Spec Savers Cavendish...poor service...

Two weeks ago I damaged the frame on my glasses. I went to Spec Savers Cavendish to find out if they could assist in getting it repaired or replaced.

After leaving my glasses there, I followed up a day later. They were not able to fix it. According to their feedback, there were unable get a new frame as there are no longer frames for my lenses, because I had my glasses for almost 2 years. Instead they recommended that I make an appointment for an eye test, as I may need new glasses.

A week later while travelling to Johannesburg & contacted Spec Savers Mall of the South. They not only sourced & ordered a new frame in 3 days, but also had fitted my original lenses a day later.

How is it possible that Cavendish could not source the same frame but Mall of the South in JHB could? Is replacing a frame not viable business, or is it preference given to new business by rather recommending a new set of glasses to maximize profit?

To Spec Savers Mall of the South....well done, fantastic service...

To Spec Savers Cavendish, try to provide good service...not all customers are as oblivious as you think...
