Adding the two PD numbers together should not be a factor in you not
being able to see with these glasses. The best situation would have
been to list both numbers, but practically speaking, adding them
together shouldn't make much of a difference. BTW, what were the PD
numbers?
You don't say if they are single vision or progressives. I assume they
must be progressives by the way you describe the problem.

You should have brought the glasses into an optometrist and had them
measure the prescription for you on a lensometer. Since you sent them
back to 39Dollar Glasses there is no independent way for you to verify
if the lenses in the glasses actually matched your prescription.
I suppose you could spend the money to have them shipped back to you
and have them checked for accuracy. Then if they didn't grind the
lenses to match your prescription you have a valid argument for a full
refund. Otherwise, I don't think there is much you can do.
You might go back to the doctor's office and have the doc quickly
double check the distance part of your prescription. You'd sit in the
chair and have him dial up the lenses until you could see the distance
part correctly and then have him read off the numbers. Compare the
numbers to the prescription he gave you. They should be the same.
