Hakim Optical can suck it Jul 22, 23:13

and

I’m searching around for a new pair of glasses, obviously the first place I’m going to look is online (especially since the selection at my optometrists is so disappointing). I don’t really need a new pair of glasses, at least not according to Dr. Cutie, however according to Dr. Buttwipe (who I saw last year, he gave me pink eye) my prescription changed slightly. Dr. Cute insists that I have 20/20 vision out of my current pair of glasses and that I should only get a new pair if I want to update my frames, which I do.

Not that I don’t have a special place in my heart for my beloved purple, blue and green emo glasses. I got them four years ago, and being that they’re plastic they’re stretched out and well quite frankly I’d like a change. I’d give you a picture but my digital camera refuses to connect to either of my computers and my webcam is of the cruddy variety.

But back to the rant: I picked out a pair I liked at the optometrists, they’re from Lulu Guinness, black, thick, wide and lovely (I know they sound horrible from my description, but they’re very lovely). Unfortunately the grand total would come to $350 and being the cheapskate I am I’m looking around for the best price. So I went to Hakim Optical to see if they carried anything from Lulu Guinness, my sister got her glasses there last year and my parents swear by them but I don’t think I want to go there.

Hakim Optical – It has all the signs of a bad website, crappy navigation, crappy design and crappy flash. There is no way to browse by brand, to see pictures of a certain pair of glasses or even see more than the handful that are displayed under products. When you load up the Products section you are greeted by a flash animation of frames being presented to you one by one. I moved to another tab whilst waiting for the entire thing to load. Once it did load I was disappointed by the selection and seriously considered sending off an email about how disgruntled I am with their lack of service on their website.

Way to lose a customer guys, way to lose a customer.

in-real-life, rant
