I ordered two sets of wooden blinds for our bedroom. They're beautiful and customer service was professional, friendly, and really helpful! Would totally recommend.

This was my first time buying wallpaper and American Blinds was helpful during each stage: product questions, estimating rolls needed, purchasing, delivery, troubleshooting, understanding problem, offering solution, follow up.

I have been very pleased with each area of customer service and would highly recommend American Blinds to beginners and experienced.

Sean,
September 30, 2013

Sean,

I would like to take a second and let you know that your customer service works like it should. I was having trouble with getting the code in that you have given me for the discount on my next order, and on Saturday I spoke with a Brandon who was as good a customer rep that I have ever spoken with. He tried several different things to help me complete the order but in the end because it was a weekend and his restrictions it couldn't be taken care of, but when I got off the phone I felt like the problem would be resolved and he care and concern were real. On Monday I called and spoke with a lady in customer service and I didn't get her name I am sorry to say, because she was the best. She took care of my order and when I was having problems with getting the order done she took all the information and got me on the road to probably more work than I really want to do but my wife says I will do. And we know who wins those arguments. So if you would thank you customer service team for going above and beyond for me and to let you know whatever you are dong is working.

Thank you again

Sincerely

Floyd Schilstra

We have built six houses and have had American Blinds in every one. They ship in a timely fashion and the product is always exactly what we ordered. We will continue using American Blinds whenever possible.

So far I'm not impressed
September 21, 2013

So far I'm not impressed. I ordered on line on 09/11 and tried to pay for 2 day shipping but when I clicked on this selection it changed my order to flooring (? I was ordering wallpaper!), so I stuck with standard delivery. I then called on 09/14 to check the status and was on hold for 20+ minutes, I finally decided to enter my number in order for them to call me back in the order my call was received. They called me back over an hour later. I was told that my order had been shipped that Friday (9/13). I thought, "Great!" However on Tuesday (09/17), I received an email that my order was been shipped 09/18 and I would receive a confirmation soon. I emailed back expressing my confusion and concern with this information. I received a return email apologizing but that there was nothing they could do to speed up delivery. So now it's 09/21 and I still have not received an email with a tracking number as I was told I would on 09/17 AND I checked my order status online and it states my order still has not shipped! I'm hoping that is incorrect and my order is on its way since we have rescheduled our contractor. If this information is correct, my rating will drop to 0 stars!

Excellent. I really can't think of anything that I would change. The blind arrived quickly. It was well packaged with clear instructions and was easy to hang. It looks really nice. Thank You

I have purchased shades, actually many shades from American Blinds and have always been satisfied. In this case I ordered a size that was beyond what you normally make 93" by 46" and was told that it would come with one bar and two shades. I found this a little difficult to understand, but when the shades arrived I understood how they were built. WONDERFUL! Not only that but my daughter was able to put them up alone may I add, in minutes and now what use to be an entire wall of dirty, dusty living room drapes is now a beautiful shade that you can't see during the day, and at night gives us the privacy we're looking for. This was a home run as far as I'm concerned!

Ordering is easy, response is quick, and the product is great. I have now ordered from them on three separate occasions, and have been completely satisfied every time.

Is it just me or is 5 pages of reviews kind of suspicious when they all do is one 5 star review on the same company and then sit dormant?
( shill accounts? Or company offers discounts for good reviews?)

My order arrived in a very timely manner and it was extremely easy to order from your website. It didn't take me long at all to order what I was looking for. I haven't had time to install the blind as of yet, but I did open it and it is absolutely beautiful. The color is perfect for my decor. "When you got a good thing, don't change it." I Love American Blinds!

We are very happy with the blinds we ordered from you. They look wonderful at the windows. They were easy to put up and fit perfectly. Thank you for a good quality product. We were satisfied. You answered the questions we had about measuring by phone that helped us feel confident that we were measuring right.

I have purchased blinds from here numerous time already and haven't had any issues ever... I have always done online, its fast and easy... then you just wait for them to show up at your door, then install, simple as that. I look forward to seeing more products and getting more ideas of what I want to do. Sincerely a satisfied customer :)

First of all, we absolutely LOVE our blinds! They fit perfectly and look gorgeous! If I could change anything it would have to be that we were told to measure the entire window area. We live in an old house and the windows aren't exactly square. Luckily my husband thought of it so we were ok. Otherwise, the whole experience was wonderful! I have already recommended them to others and would continue to do so if the question were to arise. Thank you for providing us with a wonderful product that arrived quickly and was perfectly customized!

I wanted to tell you how happy we are with our blinds from American Blinds. We first purchased blinds for one room in our home from a local hardware store. Those blinds for one room, cost me more than the blinds I bought for two rooms from American Blinds. I kick myself for not checking you guys out first. If I need any more blinds for my home, I WILL be buying them from American Blinds online. Thank you for offering a quality product at a reasonable price.-
