Words are only words. Knowing this company and being able to actual speak to the owner Paul says it all. My rep, KENT is SPECtacular, he finds frames when they are on back order, he responds to calls, emails in seconds... if there is ever an issue with warranty, Alternative Eyewear will service with no issues. BEST customer service and retail service. Service today is number 1, thank you!!!!!

Alternative Eyewear is an absolute wonderful company to deal with. The frames lines are very fashionable, very strong and solid. Their children's frames are by far the best quality we've ever had and their warranty unbeatable. Our account manager April is such a help and always available for any questions and help if needed. She always goes above and beyond to make sure all of our needs are met.

Great experience with this company. We carry 3 of their frame lines and they all do very well for us. Our rep Erika is a gem; she's prompt and responsive to all of our needs and there's never trouble with exchanges or warranties. Not to mention that they were very supportive during COVID and job action with terms. Would highly recommend!

I have been working with Alternative for years. Kent is amazing and I trust him fully to ensure my stores carry the right styles and quantities of frame stock. Any time there is an issue Kent and Paul support our business 100%. Existing products and lines are amazing but theyre always coming up with new stuff like the new Headlines collection and Vue clip one. Waiting for a global fit line now!!

We have been dealing with Alternative Eyewear for years. They are a world class company with the best customer service and sales people around. When Covid 1st hit they were the 1st company we deal with that contacted us and said we will do whatever it takes to get through this together. This we will never forget. I believe their management and ownership is the best in the industry!

We have been dealing with this company pretty much since it began... They are a very easy company to have as a supplier. The customer service has always been pleasant and efficient. The company has a vast assortment of frames of all styles and pricing budgets. The addition of the Nano Vista collection was a huge feather in the cap. Fantastic product that are backed very very well. They have always listened to what their customers needs are and will help to try to fulfil those demands.
