This company is the same as the reviews a complete joke ( every 3 days a 5 star keyworded review). I purchased some fake brick wallpaper from them which when it turned up late was nothing like the description, the wallpaper doesn't even come from them they just act as a reseller and then tell you when you want to return it that they will charge 30% restocking fee. That would mean if you ordered 10 rolls for $300 bucks you will lose $100 plus the original shipping plus the shipping to return ( which has to be signed for so costs more) total in reality will be closer to a 50% loss on your investment.

This was the first time I've ordered from American Blinds, but have been very
Pleased with the customer service. I made a mistake and had to change my order
Before it shipped, and your reps were very helpful. I am planning on ordering
More wallpaper and appreciate this discount coupon. I'll recommend your company
To my friends as well.

Ordered two fabric blinds online for our newly finished family room.
Received the confirmation- but size was wrong. Called and reassured and email reconfirmed. Blinds arrived, wrong size. Manufacturer made a mistake and did not correct. American Blinds Customer Service Rep was so thoughtful and put a rush on so I could receive before Thanksgiving. Company arriving, you know. To my delight, they came in 2 days before Thanksgiving and were perfect. Unfortunate mistake, but a totally happy ending.

My husband I did a complete renovation of our dining room. I had ordered framed art, a Monet and two Silvia Novak prints, the quality is fabulous. I also ordered wood blinds at a fraction of the cost of big box stores. They look wonderful. I am very impressed with their customer service and will be ordering from them again!

I have just bought blinds for almost every window in the house and it was the best experience I've had shopping on line in a long time. No hassle, no problems. The only problem was me, I forgot 2 windows. Have to get those ordered. The guys were a lot of fun to talk to also. No pressure, no problems.

I wouldn't change one thing about the service or product (wallpaper) that I purchased from this company. The wallpaper cost considerably less than the price I was given at the local store in my area. As a result, I was able to get 2 day delivery and the product at an extremely reasonable price. I would be happy to do business with American blinds again!

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

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?)
