beware of their surefit guarantee. If you bought blinds under a promotion, they'll calculate the replacement blinds difference with the base price, not the discounted price, even if there's a same promotion going on. for example, if you bought your blinds for $320 with a 35% discount to $245, and the new price is $400 for the replacement, you will have to fork $80 instead of $18. No where on their site has this info in writing, so beware. customer support was super rude about it too.

I ordered the 2" faux wood in smooth white for my whole house (11 windows). I thought ordering so many would make them take longer than the website's estimate but I was surprised when they showed up a week early! I really appreciated having the boxes labeled too because 10 of the 11 were just fractions different. We had someone recently try to break in and these were such a tight fit- you can't see in at all from the sides (or through the route holes because we got routeless) and I feel so much better. I did have one that became difficult to lower a few weeks after install but I emailed in customer service ordered me a new one right away!

Blinds.com delivered exactly what they promised! Our new blinds look beautiful, were easy to install, and working with the Blinds.com team was easy and they were VERY helpful. I had them on the phone for an hour while I struggled to measure properly and talked through all my options. Our rep, Jared, was patient as my wife and I worked out the details on what we would be ordering. Jared exhibited everything I've come to know about the Blinds.com brand - they make the complex simple. Even when I mismeasured, they remade a blind, for FREE! Just like they guarantee. The only thing I would change is having a bigger house so I could order more. :)

I recently considered getting blinds for my front windows to give more privacy in the evening when cars are driving by. I went to blinds.com first because I had heard of them so much through advertising. I ordered two samples which came quickly and were absolutely beautiful but ended up going with a different company because I didn't want to install them myself. Blinds.com does offer professional installation, but I decided to go with a local recommendation. After my experience, I can confirm that blinds.com has the best selection and very competitive prices ., especially if you are willing to install them yourself.

I ordered all new blinds for 9 windows, large and small. I love the quality of these blinds! I am very happy with the different selections the company offers. I was nervous to order blinds over the internet with different colors and such. The blinds all turned out to be the same color I saw on the computer screen. I am very happy with the results! The quality is also great. We got the faux wood 2inch thick blinds. They are easy to install and easy to maintain.

The entire process working with Blinds.com was seamless. I received samples, they helped me measure. When I received my blinds they were exactly like samples. Our blinds arrived quickly and they were easy to install. It was great not having to go to a store and try to find assistance. I believe they are a company owned by Home Depot. Give them a try if you are looking for new window treatmentd.

The convenience of measuring windows, deciding style & color of blinds and being able to order online from Blinds.com made for an excellent experience overall. We were extremely pleased with the service, the prompt shipping and the actual installation by ourselves. It was one of the best decisions we ever made ordering our blinds from Blinds.com. I highly recommend them to our friends & family when they inquire about our blinds. Thanks Blinds.com for a great experience.

Ordering blinds online for the first time was an excellent experience with Blinds.com. They have all kinds of helpful information on their website (including videos), which include what type of blinds you can choose from, to different colors and materials, as well as how to measure the size you need. Their customer service reps are awesome and very knowledgeable, and they have a 100% satisfaction guarantee, which really makes a huge difference since you know they've got your back. My order was for several windows for my mom's home, and the blinds were a perfect fit for the space, both in style, as well as actual fit. My mom was really happy with them! We both considered the price to be very affordable for the excellent quality and fit of the blinds. I would love to get plantation shutters for my own home in the near future, so I'll be visiting Blinds.com again very soon.

On July 26 I contacted Blinds.com who refused to issue a refund. Said the only thing they can do is reorder and wait another undetermined number of days to get the remake from China. I have ordered from blinds.com for years. This was my last order from them. This is terrible customer service

I ordered custom blackout roller shades from blind.com. Unfortunately, I had a really negative experience installing these blinds. Once they’re up, they are not blackout. As a mom preparing a nursery, my experience with blinds.com has added nothing but stress. I have tried calling customer service three times for help with install. Due to my frustration, I am at the point of wanting every fund for the product, however, that has not been an option. Overall, my experience has been very stressful and frustrating.

I had one bay window with custom sizes and used blinds.com. They have any and all selections and quality was good. just a bit more expensive than a custom order at Lowes or Home Depot. of course you're on your own for install. I found something similar of what I ordered at Ikea out of all places and for a fraction of the price... that was also very frustrating. Maybe I should have shopped more? they do have specials that can make blinds a bit more affordable if you catch them at the right time and ordering samples before purchasing is a must do you know what you are getting. Hopefully with what I paid they will last for a long time

Installation was a breeze, delivery was on time and the communication and assistance throughout the process impeccable! We can’t wait to buy life shutters for all the windows in our house!

Firstly - Blinds.com have a large selection of different types of blinds and color selection to meet anyone's needs Secondly - The instruction for "how to buy", "how to measure" are detailed very clearly. This removes a lot of ambiguity and qustions from the process of purchasing...for a DIY project It is great value for the money and I would highly recommend for anyone in the market to purchase blinds to consider visiting blinds.com

Absolutely love the blinds we installed for our rental property. This work order was done completely remotely because our rental property is in another state. This was truly a great experience and was completely stress-free. I highly recommend blinds.com especially if you need them for a rental unit and you are not located in the same state.

I used blinds.com to order all the blinds for my first home. It was easy to use because they have directions on how to measure. They even allow for human error by resending you 1 blind per order if it is necessary. We had to use this policy because I ordered our bedroom window too small. I contacted the company and they resent the blinds in the new dimensions very quickly and without any additional cost. The only thing to remember is that it takes awhile for blinds to be made. We ordered them before we moved in and still had to live in the home for a few weeks with no blinds.

I have used Blinds.com several times. Most of my windows have shades from them. I am happy with the blinds but I mostly appreciate their customer service. Only one time did I have problems with a shade I purchased and they were very responsive. They sent me a replacement and did not require me to return the faulty product. There was no extra charge. They are great to work with.

Trying to reach Customer Service is a nightmare. (Thus far all fforts have been futile.) In my $300+ order, blinds.com sent the WRONG hardware for faux wood blinds. As such is not an item sold at the local hardware store, blinds.com has to fix their error before the blinds are of any use. So they get ya by the balls and just keep pulling.

(1) I ordered 2 vertical blinds on 7 December 2023, order #13114752; they shipped 14 December - so no problem there. (2) Estimated delivery by 27 December (2 weeks in transit) - but the truck line took just under 5 weeks (33 days) to move these 2 blinds from TX to FL (a 3-day drive)! (3) Online tracking was useless - on both the blinds.com and truck line websites - no current info was ever uploaded. Blinds.com offered NO help to track the blinds or speed their delivery. They said the trucking industry is in chaos (way behind), and that they had no leverage over the truck line so it was between me and the truck line. The truck line was no more useful - their tracking system gave no info and they had to e-mail various terminals to find out where the package was. On a call to them on 30 December, they said the package had reached Atlanta, GA, and would arrive in Miami "probably in the next 2 weeks". (Miami is just a 10-hour drive from Atlanta.) (4) I asked Blinds.com why they don't use UPS, Fed Ex, USPS, etc. (like Amazon, Walmart, Costco, etc.) - they answered that "too many aluminum headrails get bent during shipping with them". But that makes no sense since Blinds.com ships their blinds in a super-heavy cardboard box that doesn't bend (and they could reinforce that with a scrap piece of metal/plastic/wood if needed). And as someone who owned a multi-million dollar home center for years, and shipped/received many packages per day, I doubt a standard truck line is more careful than those other carriers. So - for some reason - instead of shipping by a method that would take 3-4 days - they choose a truck line that takes almost 5 weeks and has no effective package tracking. (5) They shipped my 2 blinds (longest headrail 79 1/4" (6' 7 1/4") in a 12' long box when 7' would do! Although the plastic vertical slats are 99 1/4" (8' 3 1/4") they are very flexible and could easily be gently rolled up and fit in a 1' square box. So their packaging is absurd, invites damage, and turns into an over-sized annoyance to the carrier. (6) Their chosen truck line delivered to my door. They didn't knock or ring my bell - they just left the 12' long box leaning against my front door so I couldn't open my door. (7) I bought these 2 vertical blinds in response to a complaint by my Home Owners' Association (HOA). Because they didn't come by December 27th as promised, and as I therefore had promised my HOA, the HOA (a) has decided I'm a liar and troublemaker, and (b) initiated legal action against me. In response, I had to spend hours communicating with them. hiring an attorney, etc. I want to be compensated for the problems caused by the poor service from (8) This was a frustrating, horrible experience. Zero stars. Poor choice of shipper; no product tracking; no customer service assistance; rude delivery...

Overall the blinds look good. However, the mini blinds' wand is too short and the bracket for the valance looks large enough for two valances. The shipment shows 2 valances but when I called I was told that there was one valance. I needed to order an additional valance for $5.71. The mini blinds do not look good with the bracket showing and a void above the one valance.

Ordered the blackout shades and light filtering accordion style shades. The customer service was amazing during the sale but fell apart with problems with my motorized shades. They are very inconsistent and only work part of the time. They sent trouble shooting instructions which did not help. Manual shades are great but I would highly not recommend anything mechanical. The technology has not caught up to the product.

They made returns simple as possible, but I did have to pay for the return shipping. Overall, I’d use them again in the future.

The blind we ordered was a custom size and it came out fantastic, as we ordered. It is fantastic. Shipping was horrible. The company they worked with for delivery said I had to be home or they were going to change me. I sat home for 3 days and THEY never showed. I called Blinds.com numerous times and left messages and no one returned my calls. I was eventually told they couldn't find my shade. Then a week later when they "found it" some how my 9 ft blind rolled under something. I did end up getting it and its everything we hoped for.

Dear Blinds.com Customer Service, I am writing to express my extreme dissatisfaction with the service and product quality I have received from Blinds.com. My order history, as documented below, reflects a series of errors, delays, and a lack of professionalism, resulting in significant financial losses for my business. Order Number 12404038 Original Order Date: May 8, 2023 Order Amount: $2,023.46 Order Number 12646534 Second Order Date: July 20, 2023 Order Amount: $522.83 Order Number 12826746 Third Order Date: September 11, 2023 From the outset, my experience with Blinds.com has been marred by mistakes and poor communication. After initially placing Order Number 12404038, I encountered errors with the blinds. To rectify the situation, a second order (Order Number 12646534) was placed on July 20th, 2023, costing me additional time and resources. Despite this, my problems persisted. My most recent experience occurred on September 26, 2023, when I contacted your customer service department out of sheer frustration. During this call, I provided detailed instructions and even sent an email with photographic evidence highlighting the undersized blinds. To my astonishment, the issues were not adequately addressed. The representative I spoke to displayed unprofessional conduct, speaking over me and being rude. When I requested to speak to a manager, he passive-aggressively suggested a lengthy hold time. I have lost money on this project due to repeated incompetence. I am seeking a refund of $522.83 to compensate for financial losses due to Blinds.com's errors and poor service.

Spent almost an hour and a half choosing colors from different types of blinds and agreed with the customer service rep that it was best to have swatches sent out before ordering. After 10 days of not receiving swatches emailed the rep Kim. She did not respond, so two days later called the company. They told me they saw no notes under my email and phone number. I asked to speak with someone that could assist that was a supervisor because I was told me they could listen to the call and pull the details from there to send me the correct swatches. The rep that I spoke to spoke to a supervisor named Bertha. Bertha said that she could not escalate this because there was no swatches under my phone number or email. Yes, that’s the reason I was asking for the call to be listened to so that I did not have to go through the entire site for another hour and a half trying to pick out swatches. Very unprofessional. Don’t waste your time
