Our Score

Returning items to Smart Buy Glasses may seem challenging, and their 100-day return of unused items may feel strict, but they do take all items back. We give Smart Buy Glasses a Return Policy Score of 3.0 out of 5 based on the fact that all items must be unworn, undamaged, and with all original undamaged packaging and tags. Unfortunately, the strict requirements make it so consumers cannot test their new glasses to see if they like them. Other than that, the return policy for this company is pretty straightforward.
