The Bad

  • Undisclosed Information
  • Poor Social Media

Undisclosed Information

The company website says that it has over 20 years of experience in the blinds industry, yet it does not specify when the company started its business. Additionally, when questioned using the company’s online chat feature, company representatives stated that its actual starting date was 2000, with its online store opening up in 2010. Customers may find the conflicting information a bit off putting. 

Poor Social Media 

Direct Buy Blinds does have links to its social media channels on Twitter and Facebook, but its Facebook link doesn't work. Additionally, its Twitter account is inactive and hasn’t tweeted yet. Potential customers often use social media to check and see if current customers are satisfied with their service. Without active social channels, customers have no way of knowing what customers truly think about Direct Buy Blinds’ service.

The Bottom Line

Direct Buy Blinds offers customers a wide variety of products, good customer service, a fantastic 90-day guarantee, and a lifetime warranty—all features that would tempt any customer. However, Direct Buy Blinds does have a small amount of missing or conflicting information on its website. Before we can provide an accurate recommendation to customers, Direct Buy Blinds must work on being more transparent with its history of experience.

We are completely satisfied with our customized shutters. I don't leave many reviews but this company and it's service should be highly rated. The shutters we needed are a personal design and Direct Buy met our specs to T! We were a little wary about the lack of reviews but took a chance due to the excellent customer service on the phone. The order took a while in production but follow to check on progress was easy and accurate. The product we received was well-packaged, top notch and looks great!

I ordered a large sunburst arch for my arched window and was not disappointed at all. The finished work is professionally done and the blades are lovely, the workmanship is great, and fits perfectly. They built my arch accurately with measurements I gave them to fit my arched window. The blades are very pliable so easy to close and shut. This arch will add value to my home. I am glad that I purchased it from Direct Buy Blinds and would recommend Direct Buy Blinds for one’s sunburst arch.

This company does not honor their alleged "90 day satisfaction guarantee". The shades I ordered were not made to the specs I requested in the order. The width was short by half an inch. Their website says to contact them within 24 hours of discovering an issue with the product. I called within 30 minutes of receiving the order at my home. After two phone calls and an e-mail, their response was that it wasn't their problem because they made them "as ordered". Which is not true. They made them too narrow and they will not fix it. Pay the extra money and buy from a reputable company like Smith & Noble. Next call is to my credit card company to challenge the charge.

1) Poor quality. finished product is ok but product is junk made of wood particle/saw dust. A larger frame with a small plastic key to hold together corners is weak. I had to reinforce mine with screws. 2) customer service treats everyone like idiots and think their product is superior and my struggles are because of me and not the actual crappy product. 3) you can get far better custom made quality WOOD custom blinds around here same price
