Stay tuned for your city!! Huge thanks to prettyunicorns for this amazing post!!
wow, I got an email back in February after I registered telling me I got in , or rather, I made the list…I waited ALL DAY today, checking my email constantly every 10 minutes, and never did I see a code emailed to me…I am very disappointed, I thought if I made the list, I would get a code…and no, I have never ordered before personally…no, I do not have any email filters, and yes, I was checking my email all day…that’s too bad, I really needed the glasses for my daughter right now.
okay well I guess I am wrong..because Smartcanucks has the Nanaimo date listed as March 3rd, yet Facebook says March 8th…so hopefully I am not too late.
I just received them! very nice and it fits
just in time ~
We’ve just added a new city — We’ll be hitting Edmonton on Mar 17!

What an absolute WASTE OF TIME! This is such a scam. Since my bf has his prescription up-to-date, I tried to get him a pair…only to find out that it’s only applicable for people who have prescriptions between +/-2.00! His is just over that.
Anything out of that range and the freebie doesn’t apply. This would be fine if the conditions were stated, but I read no such thing.
We were only for more than an hour, picking out frames, to discover this! NEVER AGAIN.
Hi Stephania,
The 1.5 lenses that are included in the free offer are available up to a –8.00, so your boyfriend’s lenses certainly would have been eligible. We do recommend upgrading to thinner, lighter lenses above –2.00, but it’s not necessary.
Here are the offer details:
Offer includes frame, standard 1.5 index lenses, A/R coating, UV coating and Scratch Resistant coating. One free pair per household. Shipping & handling applies. Customers who have already received a free pair of glasses from a previous promotion are not eligible. Certain frames are excluded from offer.
*Upgrades to thinner lenses for higher Rx’s or tints to make Rx sunglasses can be added at an additional cost.
*People who require progressive lenses or who have an Rx above –8.00 can get a free pair of frames, and these lenses can be purchased at an additional cost. Anti-reflective, UV and scratch resistant coating are included.
I applied for the free glasses, and just got them yesterday. It only cost me S&H, which came to about $16.00 to get them shipped from B.C. to PEI. Nice glasses, used my eye doctor’s last exam to order the lenses and everything.
This is the first time I’ve placed an order for something free, that I actually got in the mail, and with the glasses, I also got a tuning tool, bag to carry the glasses, hard shell case, and wiping cloth. Not bad for $16, as the eye doctor said I’d pay close to $300 for the same glasses at the stores.…
I would like to know if those people with a prescription greater than –8.00 get some sort of rebate toward their purchase if they take advantage of this deal.
Thanks!
This promotion is a scam. Once you’ve selected your order you input the code for the free glasses and it tells you it has expired even though in my case it shouldn’t until tomorrow. Anyhow, even though you did not confirm you wanted it without the free promotion they mail it to you anyway and expected you to pay their bill. I’m going to refuse it when it arrives as I was just checking whether the deal was still available.
It’s not a scam.. once the selected numbers of pairs are gone their gone. My friend, me and my mom have all gotten free glasses, unfortuately its so popular it doesnt last till the next day, maybe an hour or two max.
