Returns Help

A new return authorization form must be submitted for each item being returned. This ensures the returns department receives the request and processes the return correctly and also provides any additional information as well as specific instructions on how to return your particular order.

Start your return by generating a new return authorization form directly online from the online invoice page as shown in the example below.

Step-by-step instructions:

Click the RETURN button on your online receipt to access the return form.

• The online receipt page may be found in your account order history, the Order Status section, or in the confirmation email sent when placing the order. Only shipped orders qualify for returns.

Select the item being returned.

• Select the item, quantity, reason, and how you would like us to process the return.
• If lenses were ordered, please ensure also to provide the return instructions for the lenses separately or select the "Concerning frames only" option.
• To proceed to the form, ensure all required fields are populated, including the additional comments box.
• Generate a separate return form for each item/quantity being returned. They can still be shipped together in the same box.
• Review the Returns notice section provided in case any additional steps or information is necessary.

Print your return form.

• No printer? No worries. Just include the order number in your return address (ATTN section) or written somewhere inside/outside on the box.
• Once submitted, the return form will include your return instructions as well as the return address for your return. Follow the instructions on the return form to send back your return.

If a tracking service was purchased with the returned shipment, it may be tracked online using the shipping courier website. If the return has been delivered to our office, please allow up to 1-2 weeks for the return to begin processing. The customer must consult the shipping company for status details if the return has not yet been delivered to our office.

Once the return is processed, it will be manually reviewed and inspected. A notification will be sent to the customer once it has been processed, including all the details and any additional invoices generated for the request.

New orders and exchanges generated will have different order numbers assigned that are trackable separately.

• Our staff will generate the new order based on the instructions from the customer using the same information on file.
• The customer will provide the exchange items and instructions in the Comments section of the return form.
• A notification email will be sent to the customer with the details once the new order has been generated by the staff.

• An email will be sent once the return is accepted and the credit is ready to use so the customer can place their new order online.
• The customer requests to apply existing credits to the new order in the Comments section of the order or by contacting support via email or through the support section to apply the credits once the new order is placed.

• Not available for lens exchanges since all lenses must be returned before being exchanged at this time to avoid paying the total price for the lenses.
• The customer places the new exchange order before the return is processed. 
• The customer will receive a full refund once the return is processed.

• A notification email is sent to the customer once the refund invoice is generated. A copy may also be found in the customer's order history.
• A refund invoice has its unique order reference number (starting with "CR-") and may be tracked like any other order. 
• Pending refunds may take up to 3 business days to finalize.
• Refunds are issued to the same payment on file in the order, which is also reflected on the refund invoice.
• Once the refund is issued, the invoice status will be marked as finalized.

If a package has been returned to the sender, it may be due to an incorrect address or the recipient being unavailable to sign for the package. In most cases, the shipping company will provide a specific reason on the tracking page. Once the returned "Returned to Sender" package has been delivered to the company, please allow 1-2 weeks for processing and reshipment. A notification email will be sent once the returned to sender shipment is processed by the order department and the order is placed on hold until further instruction is provided by the customer.

A new order support ticket may be created online to request a reshipment of an order. Please see the Request Order Assistance section for details. Prior to requesting a reshipment, it is recommended to first verify the shipping address on file and that someone will be available at the address to sign for the delivery. Additional fees may be charged for reshipping an order.

• Domestic USA: Re-shipped at no extra charge one time only via the standard shipping method. Further reshipments are billed at full cost.
• International: Re-shipped at 50% charge of the original shipping fee one time only. Further reshipments are billed at full cost.

Return changes & modifications

Make changes with a return directly online by simply submitting a new return request online as explained in the Return Instructions. A new return authorization form may be generated at any time before the return is processed as the most recent request submitted will be processed, even if the return has already been shipped and delivered but has not yet been processed.

Return cancellations

Generated return authorizations do not need to be canceled if they have not been shipped. Return authorization requests are ignored until the returns department receives the merchandise. If a return that has already been sent needs to be canceled, request further return assistance as explained below.

Further Return Assistance

Further assistance for a returned order may be requested through the original order (number). Please see the Request Order Assistance section for details on creating a new support ticket online.

The Go-Optic® warranty is handled directly through the returns department. Review the following information to help understand the warranty service. Certain rules and exceptions may apply. Please see the complete Warranty Policy for details.

• What is covered:

  Go-Optic warrants that all new products are free from defects in manufacturing, materials, and workmanship for a period of one year from the date of purchase. All new prescription lenses are warranted to be accurate to the correct prescription for 60 days. Please see the Lens Accuracy Guarantee for details.

• What is not covered:

  The warranty does not cover defects or malfunction caused by misuse, abuse or improper maintenance, failure to follow operating instructions or use with equipment with which it is not intended to be used. Cosmetic or incidental damages, breakage, alteration, or standard wear and tear are not considered defective and are not covered under warranty.

• What we will do:

  We will, at our discretion, repair or replace any product that proves to be defective in material or workmanship during the warranty period. If your product is no longer being manufactured or is out of stock, we may replace your product with a comparable or improved product at our option. If you return a defective product within the first 30 days of purchase, you will receive a new replacement unit. Replacement units sent to replace products returned after the first 30 days from the date of purchase may be refurbished units of similar cosmetic wear.

• What we will not do:

  We will not pay for shipping, insurance, or transportation charges from you to us, or any import fees, duties, and taxes.

• How to obtain the warranty service:

  All warranty requests may be handled through the standard return procedure by following the Return Instructions and selecting "Warranty" as the return type.

  Send photos of the defective product for prior approval. Prior email approval is recommended to receive faster service and avoid incurring any irrecoverable and unnecessary (shipping) fees for an unapproved request. The following email support form may be used to attach and send photos of the defective product to the returns department for review.
