America's Best Glasses are they a scam?

Question

They advertise 2 pairs of glasses with an exam for $89. But everyone Ive talked to wound up paying much more. Are they scammers?

Answer 1

Maybe not a scam...but it is dirty business practice.

Up-selling is how they make their money. All of the discount chains do that.

The problem with chains like that is even after the upselling...it is still a very poor quality product you are getting.

Places that have to trick the customers to do business shouldn't instill much confidence I would think.

Answer 2

The pairs you get to choose from are UGLY! People pay more for better frames.
