Quick and easy
June 28, 2016

Smooth and easy ordering. I would just recommend that you add a few inches to the height of your window size if ordering pull down shades so you don't max out the shade every time...

Ordering from Blindster.com is very easy!
I first ordered several free samples of verticals I liked and the samples arrived in a few days. The samples were a good size.
I then placed my order online using Blindster's easy ordering process. Within about 2 weeks my vertical blind arrived. It was VERY well packaged in a super sturdy shipping box. My husband and I easily installed the vertical blind and valance in about an hour. (And our blind is big! 124"×65") Blindster also sent extra vertical slats with our order.
We were so satisfied with our experience, a couple weeks later, we ordered another vertical for the kitchen window. This time I had to contact customer service online to help me choose a color to closely match the livingroom blind color, and the customer service rep was very helpful matching the color perfectly! The second ordering experience was just like the first. PERFECT!
I will definitely order again and I highly recommend Blindster.com to anyone looking for blinds. Using a 30% off coupon, the prices were very reasonable. (However, they do charge an oversize freight fee of $75 for large size blinds).

Fail on routless blinds
June 25, 2016

The routless blinds that I ordered do not stay connected to the opening & closing cord in the back of each slat. I would not recommend this style because the slats frequently become disconnected and look uneven.

I'm sorry you aren't happy with your blinds.
Routeless blinds are not for everyone. They do shift when opened and closed which means they don't work well when mounted outside the window.
You can return these blinds under our Satisfaction Guarantee. I will call you directly to see what we can to resolve this issue.

Disappointed with Everything
June 25, 2016

Purchased seven premium top down/bottom up blackout blinds for a new home.
Received the shipment in what appeared to be seven separate intact boxes, only to find five out of the seven blinds were damaged.
The plastic end pieces were broken and shattered at one or both ends (top middle and bottom) of each blind.
Promptly contacted customer service and their solution was to send the individual end pieces for me to repair. After receipt of these parts it became obvious that I would further damage the blinds trying to remove the (hot glue or epoxy) secured end pieces.
Back to customer service after being totally disappointed in the purchase so far to ask for return and refund procedures. It only got worse.
We were told that because the amount was too much, (over a $1,000.00) we couldn't get a refund.
Asked to speak with a manager and was told they would call back within 24 hrs.
Approval came the next day to return the blinds.
Frustrating to say the least, we had heard so many good things about Blindster and were anxious to get a good product only to be disappointed.
We were offered to reorder new blinds, but declined.
Sorry Blindster.

I'm sorry you were disappointed.
Ship damage is the single most challenging issue we deal with every day. Mainly because it is almost entirely out of our control.
All of our factories do a good job of packaging the blinds and shades. Unfortunately, window coverings are an odd shade and usually every heavy. This combination doesn't work well when shipping. We certainly could have remade your shades and shipped you new shades right away. Instead, it looks like you opted to get a refund.
I apologize for the inconvenience.

From the beginning of ordering to the shipment and delivery of my three window treatments, everything went without a hitch!
Very easy to order.
The fact that there is a money back guarantee even if MY measurement was not correct. WOW!
Fit is perfect. Very good quality.

Great blinds!
June 26, 2016

This was the first time I ordered with Blindster. After watching the measuring video online, I had a question about measuring, so I called them and they were VERY helpful. The blinds are very good quality and they fit PERFECTLY! I'd definitely order from Blindster again. OH, and the free samples of colors that they sent me were very helping in choosing a color that looked good in my house.

Great Buy!

All you have to do is be able to read a tape measure and pick the blind you want. Blindster handles the rest. Less than two weeks from ordering to delivery. Custom blinds without custom blind pricing. Barngrover

Easy replacement

I ordered blinds for two windows I thought were identical in size but one was slightly different. I called and easily got a replacement sent for a minimal fee. Excellent customer service!

Wide Blinds
June 23, 2016

We ordered two 70+ inch wide blinds for our dining room windows. Both were defective when we received them and Blindster was very generous in agreeing to remake both blinds. The only reason they lost the last star was that the quality of the blinds is slightly less than what I expected. The price was reasonable for custom made blinds though, so I guess I can't complain too much!
