  • wii be great if its with free shipping

    what do you mean?

    limited to 1 per customer, per transaction"

      Limited to 1 per customer - PM me if you have any questions.

        I'd say his question is "1 what?"

        i.e. Does it mean one item at the discounted price, or one order?

        • +2

          Sure thing - I can see the confusion. It's 1 order per customer. Thanks for checking in.

      Hi Mahalo - I was checking back and you asked for a 50% off code a few weeks back…. well here it is!

      "Rep how about a 50% off code? I would like to use all my insurance rebate."

      • Jack,one order as in,one can order how ever many contact lenses they want, as long as it is in one order?

        Clicked the link and it took me to a page that says " free shipping on contact lens orders"

      • great thanks.. I have 12 months supply of 1-day acuvue in the cart.. where do I add my health fund details (bupa) and how do i claim it?

  • It actually beats the price I get ordering directly from the US. Unfortunately I have recently stocked up and don't need any right now.

    Pity if couldn't be around this amount all the time.

    • I buy directly from the US for about $4 a lens (monthlies) even with this deal they are still around $7 a lens. So shop around and you might get a better deal somewhere else. They are still making a fair amount of profit @ 50% off so think what they make at full price…

      • +3

        So from what US websites do you buy from? Please share =)

        • I get mine from aalens, they are in asia though.

        • I used to go with coastal until they upped their prices
          Now I use discountcontactlenses.com

          FOCUS DAILIES 30 Pack standard price from discountcontactlenses
          $16.16 USD

          FOCUS DAILIES 30 Pack from specsavers with a 50% off coupon
          $16 AUD

          This shows how much Australian retailers are marking up the same products

          IF you find a coupon for the us sites they will beat this deal

      • cost price is about less than $2 a lens (i have a source from J&J)

        • +2

          Define "cost price".

          Are you talking manufacturing cost? or landed cost in Australia? Local logistics costs? how about marketing costs? customer service and sales rep. costs? or perhaps the cost for J&J Australia to purchase from Vistakon US or Ireland where the product is manufactured?
          You know J&J don't sell directly to the end customer? so the optometrist also has a margin and their own costs…

          It's easy to throw out the "cost price" number (which varies depending on the type of lens), but there's a lot of overhead between taking the silicone to make the lens to getting it in the patients eye.

          ***Disclaimer: I could be called a JJVC subject matter expert.

        • @braddsey:

          The price they (Specsavers) pays for the product…

        • @Weezle: You have a Specsavers rep who you can ask about their cost price for J&J lenses and see if he/she wants to share with you. Sharing commercially sensitive information on a public forum would probably have me looking for a new source of income.

          All I will say is that I purchased a year's supply of Acuvue Oasys via this deal.

  • Stocked up on another 6 months worth. Site is a little slow but not sure if this is just work's crap internet connection or not.

    Thanks OP!

  • Is it express shipping?

  • +1

    Perhaps "leaked" isn't the best word to use in the title, lol. Read this as contact lense leaked offer at first glance.

  • The maximum sphere prescription available on the website for the Acuvue Oasys for Astigmatism is +6.00. However, my prescription for one eye is actually beyond that. Is there any way of placing a custom order?

  • +7

    Nice deal… but "leaked offer" is slightly sensationalist wording from a Store Rep….

    • +1

      … but better than not offering the deal at all!

  • +1

    Thank OP - Also stocked up 6 months worth for my wife. Timing is impeccable - she just asked me this morning to order more for her. Now should I tell her I saved so much money or should I just go buy some man-gadgets…. Decisions, decisions :-)

  • +1

    Any chance Specsavers will stock CibaVision "Total1" dailies?

  • good price!

  • Rep what is your relationship with Cpt Jack Sparrow?

    • +1

      Soul mates

    OP - when are Specsavers going to get Bausch & Lomb Biotrue one day contact lenses online! Have been able to buy them in store for months but still yet to appear on the website.

  • +4

    Hey Rep, are spec savers going to bring in any coloured contact lenses like freshlook colours and colourblends?

  • Great, I have just save $5 than my usual online outlet.

  • What bad timing! My contact lenses appointment (check-up) is on Wednesday :(

  • I ordered 4 boxes of contact lenses (6 months) for $90. Thanks OP.

    Getting my prescription from Specsavers was annoying though (I only had my eyes tested there the other week). They wouldn't email it but were happy to fax it or read it out over the phone. Do people even use faxes still?

  • Getting lots of errors with the site accessing my basket…

    Edit Looks like it was Chrome giving me grief. Worked fine in Firefox…

  • Bah, I just bought a box yesterday. Got free shipping though so can't complain I guess.

    • Stock up? It's the OzB way! ;)

  • bought some literally about 2 days ago ahhhhhhhh :(

  • ended up only saving $3 coz only buying one box and no more free shipping, still good

    • One box for 1 eye only or you have same vision on both eyes?

  • Jack, What does this mean-
    "We'll refund any products that are returned to us as damaged, of incorrect specification or just no longer required provided they are returned unopened and unused in the original packaging. Shipping charges will not be refunded. Where a promotion has been applied to your order we are unable to accept partial returns."

    Can I return unopened boxes within 3 months if not required. If yes, can I return at store?

    • To give you the best response - best contacting our lovely and friendly customer service team who can clarify.

      You can contact us at any time via email at [email protected]

      Alternatively, call our Customer Service team on 1800 074 171 between 8.30am-6.30pm AET, Monday to Friday (excluding Public Holidays)

  • Great deal, thank you.

  • Aw sweet, I only occasionally wear contacts so the 1 day pack I have are way out of date and an old script - optoms want me to try wearing contacts for a week before I get laser eye surgery. Perfect timing. Plus, can claim the whole lot back on private - so basically free.

  • Awesome!! ordered 12 boxes!

  • Hey rep. Is there anyway of ordering more than 8 boxes of Acuvue Oasys in the one order? The website won't let me order more than eight but I want to order more. Thanks

  • +1

    Just placed an order with OPSM this morning. Any chance I can cancel that order? Does anyone know about their change of mind refund policies?

  • website under the offer says ends midnight 19 Nov ?

    • Ha! That's an error. Ends tonight 18th Nov. Will get that changed…

  • Rep. My sister wants to combine her order with me. Is it possible? She is working in UK but coming back for Xmas and has a valid UK prescription.

    • Best to call our friendly customer service team - see what they can do for you.

      You can contact us at any time via email at [email protected]

      Alternatively, call our Customer Service team on 1800 074 171 between 8.30am-6.30pm AET, Monday to Friday (excluding Public Holidays)

  • Thanks for the info. Just ordered mine which saved me $62. But the promo code was ONLINE50.

  • excellent - thanks :D

  • Meh. Daysoft still wins for dailies.

  • Thanks - bought.
    Better than the 10% off offer I got with yesterdays standard autorenewal order email,
    which I canceled so I could look for a deal.
    Nice timing ;)

  • Not sure if BARGAIN50 as a code works, but I used the one on the website which was: ONLINE50

  • Can it be claimed through Medibank Private?

    • Yep. On my plan I could claim $25 per box normally. Since the ones I ordered with half price costs less than 25, I got the rebate value of the contacts only. Makes sense to me. Therefore I only paid for the delivery.

  • Thanks for posting!!!

  • great saving for people who wear contacts almost everyday. got the same deal last year & running out, was hoping you would do the same deal again, perfect timing! :D

  • Will specsavers ask to see a copy of the script or do they only make you tick the box saying you have one?

  • The title of the webpage reads:

    "Get $50 off Contacts Lenses when you spend $199"

    • +1

      Yikes - really? Can confirm this deal is legit at 50% off.

  • $21 (after health fund rebate) for 2x 30 daily astigmatism. sweet.

  • +1

    I tried to order the maximum of 4 boxes of contact lenses for R and L eyes shown on order form (8 boxes in total), however, after entering and applying promotion code and then Visa details, computer dropped offline. Keep getting the following message when reconnecting and trying to complete order: "There was an error:<br />Service unavailable (with message." How can I complete this order?

  • +1

    yes, I am having trouble completing my order too. Very frustrating
