AusSpecs Newsletter





Hello From AusSpecs A Big Hello from AusSpecs


2009 Newsletter

As the year draws to a close we wanted to say hello, thank you for your support in the past years plus bring you up to date with what is happening and what has happened in the past year.
The Strong Aussie Dollar : This is a huge bonus considering that virtually all optical frames sold in Australia are imported from overseas (mostly China) so with the dollar in the nineties we are really happy to pass on the savings to you, our valued clients.
Current Specials : We know you are busy and may not wish to read all of this newsletter so here are the current specials in case this is of interest.
**** Current Super Special ****
Reading or Distance glasses from $38.00
2 Pair (Various Frames) for ONLY $88.00*
2 pair multifocal frames for ONLY $88.00* Plus Lenses
Discount Code : As an existing customer of Ausspecs you should already have the 10% "welcome_back" discount code as a thank you for buying your glasses from AusSpecs. This code is still active and you are very welcome to make use of it.

It has all happened in 2009

  • Special News : We are really pleased to announce our Sydney NSW Operation! Things are running smoothly although I have to say that they are still pretty hectic, but we are having fun!

  • 600 frames and colours: Yes over 600 frames and different colours to choose from. This now gives you the biggest selection in Aus. We have also fixed a shortcoming by having a large range of Childrens glasses and yes, we now have Polarized Prescription Lenses for the fisherpersons.

  • Client Feedback : We have had some wonderful feedback from you which is fantastic. This feedback is so important to us as it tells us that we are on (or off) track plus it lets the skeptics know that AusSpecs can be a trusted supplier of your next pair of prescription Glasses.

  • Prices Drop : As mentioned above, while others have raised their prices we have reduced ours due to the high Australian Dollar and we have passed this on to our clients. It is our stated goal to be the cheapest in Australia and at the same time have the best quality glasses around.

  • Total Revamp ; The website is constantly evolving as we strive to make things easier and quicker for our clients. Sometime it works well (sometimes not so well) but we think we you will be happy with the current version. Even with 600 frames we hope you will find it a simple matter to find the ones you want.

  • Brand Name Frames : Having done a deal with the suppliers of Nile, Lorie, Rhine and Parana we can now offer these Brand Named Glasses at a cost you will not believe.

    There are some fabulous frames from just $49.50 and this still includes lenses !

  • Brand Name Sunglasses Dropped : Before putting these into stock a year ago we tossed and turned over whether they were worthwhile. Well the latter won out as you voiced your opinion stongly against the silliness of hundreds of dollars for a plastic frame with a name on it when we have heaps on the site just as good looking. So out the door they went.


From the Boss :
Hello

On behalf of all the staff I just want to pass on my sincere thanks to you for your support over the past year and hope that we can continue to assist in saving you huge amounts of money when it comes to buying prescription spectacles for years to come.

Wow what a year in the optical Industry!

No doubt you have seen the battle of the giants with the major players going head to head with Spec Savers. It is fabulous for the Australian public that have been paying through the nose for decades.

Perhaps now our Health Funds can put the money saved to good use rather than spending it on overpriced spectacle frames. Maybe lower premiums...now that would that be nice.

Of course,the best bit is that AusSpecs is still miles in front on price and equal on quality so we will still be here long after the dust settles.
In a recent survey on the site it is unbelievable the number of people that answered "a friend" to the question on how they heard about AusSpecs. Really, a big big thank you for spreading the word, please keep it up !
Well, thank you again and please have a safe and happy Christmas period !

Prescription Eyeglasses in Australia

Discount Prescription Glasses Online by AusSpecs

With the repealing of the Optical Dispensing Laws in most states of Australia the Optical retail market has been opened up for direct competition to the Retail Chains that dominate the industry in Australia.
These laws were seen for what they were in that they fostered a closed shop mentality and produced an environment where the average Australian believed that a pair of standard, no frills prescription glasses was a very expensive item with a starting price in the 100's of dollars.
With the introduction of web based optical stores the message is slowly filtering out about the true cost of the product.
For the net savvy of course, people have been buying overseas for many years but this has never carried such things as the safe guards under the Trade Practices Act and Fair Trading regulations that Australia businesses are legally bound by. There are many sad stories to be told where satisfaction was by no means guaranteed.
As with any deregulation there will always be the cowboys and tricksters offering fake Brand Named Designer Glasses or so called Quality product at a super cheap price, long on promises and short on quality and delivery so it is important to do some homework and always buy from an Australia based site with a reputation.
It has not been an easy road to achieve an impeccable reputation such that AusSpecs enjoys for quality at a realistic price. Much hard work, subversion and threats from within the industry have been faced and overcome to bring the AusSpecs site to you. We can now boast years of service to thousands of satisfied customers with genuine (as opposed to fictitious) customer feedback to support the fact that the quality of our eyeglasses are second to none.
In defense of some of the operators in the optical industry it is unrealistic to castigate them all to the point of calling them rip-off merchants and worse as some sensationalists Entrepreneurs on some Online Glasses Web sites will attest.
It is an easy thing to sit back and denigrate the Optical stores for overpriced products and ripping off the consumer but at the end of the day those businesses have massive overheads that have to be met so as to be available when needed by their customers. Only the naive will believe that this is specific to the optical industry. Such is the price of retail service but now there is a better way.
The vast majority of Health Funds were happy to endorse reputable online optical dispensers for the simple reason that their members benefited substantially from the reduced cost and because the members were happy with the quality of the product received.
Some Health Funds, on the other hand, for reasons best known to themselves, choose to reject online optical dispensers and the inherent savings even at the protests of members themselves. At the end of the day however, the members will obviously make their judgment known through their chequebook.

By choosing AusSpecs as your optical provider you are assured of a quality product and guarantee of satisfaction and as can be seen from the comments of clients past the quality of our glasses is second to none.
