Contacts cheaper online or at Costco?

[dis2cruise]

Eye check up today, my dh usually goes to Costco to get his lenses however I always see ads on this message board for online contacts are they cheaper and how is the customer service?

We don't have a Costco here, but I found contacts online & I was very happy with the price. I wound up getting them from visiondirect.com, and they were less than 1/2 of what the doctor's office wanted for them. Same brand, etc. I have been very happy with them as well!

One of my friends works for a vision place and finds herself price matching from these online stores all the time:

COASTALCONTACTS.COM
VISIONDIRECT.COM
CONTACTLENSKING.COM
LENSESFORLESS.COM

If you have a BJ's wholesale club call and check their prices!!! They are the cheapeast for me every time, my contacts normally cost $18 a box at Walmart and even online shopping, but BJ's is $14!!!! Plus for some reason when I bought them a few weeks ago they were having some kind of special if I bought 4or more boxes so I actually ended up getting them for $12 a box!!

I looked into this a few months ago. They would have been cheaper going to lens.com and getting a rebate from acuvue..however then you have to buy a years supply to get the right price. I chose to buy at Costco, so I can just buy a box at a time. Price is a little more but then I have more control (like if you want a different prescription in the middle of your supply). However, COstco was cheaper than other places I checked where you just buy them box by box. Hope that helps.
