We were very pleased with the prompt service; accurate measurements; and quality of our shades. They look great in our den. We will be ordering more in the coming days.

Long screws
June 1, 2016

Installing in a metal building. Screws provided hit metal and pushed out the window frame. The window and blinds measured exactly right and we couldn't figure out why the blinds didn't fit at the top. Had to cut off the top rail, 4 panels and the valance to fit. Cracked one of the panels in the process and the break was obvious. Finally figured out what was happening as we installed the third blind (the second didn't result in obvious damage). Called and explained the situation and was offered a substantial discount to buy a replacement for the first broken one.

Great experience
June 1, 2016

Great quality blinds for a very reasonable price. I needed a set of blinds that were very narrow and most places could not make them the size I needed. I went to blindster.com, entered the dimensions and a few days later, they arrived on my doorstep. Simple! They even kept me informed of production and shipping time. I would definitely use again.

After looking at the national name blinds, someone mentioned Blindster.com and I am so glad they did. Ordered two large solar shades from the Exotic Collection with the cassette header and they are perfect for our picture windows at the beach. They are blocking out the sun yet one can see through the fabric and they are very attractive. I ordered both during a sale and paid less than half what the national brand would have cost.

Perfect even if I wasn't
June 1, 2016

Very easy to do, very good service, I miss measured because my sheetrock was so crooked. But no problem they sent a replacement for a flat $15 charge and I donated the one I mismeasured to charity.

Dissapointed customer
June 1, 2016

The experience was fine but the product has a design flaw and does not function well. When screwed into a side wall, the screws interfere with the roller and make it very difficult to roll and unroll.

I'm sorry you are having a problem with your order. The screws should not interfere with the shade functioning properly. I will call you right away to get this remedied.

Great shopping experience, great pricing, great product on arrival. My only comment would be to communicate the phase from ordering to delivery better in email.

Very nice quality
June 1, 2016

Samples came quickly. Very easy to order online. I measured correctly so no problems in that area. Easy to install just make sure you use a long level. I taped a smaller level to a longer board to span 54". Good thing as the opening was off by 1/2" on one side which would have affected the roll-up hitting the bracket. It really looks nice and the quality is very good. Price was very reasonable.

Faulty blinds
June 1, 2016

Customer service are great but the blinds are damaged goods

I'm sorry you had a problem with ship damage on your order. Unfortunately, ship damage is a constant challenge when shipping window coverings because they are heavy and awkwardly shaped. Especially when your order a blind that is 105" wide.
I apologize for the inconvenience caused by this issue.

Pleasant customer service
June 1, 2016

They were patient and understanding when I made a measurement mistake... I was told that they would recut and send out product immediately. I never had custom blinds before and I sure like them better than department store shelf. I am also going to order some for my kitchen in the next month... Thank you

This is my second purchase from Blindster. The process is so easy, the quality of the merchandise excellent that I will not purchase from a store again. The selection, colors and prices are better than the stores. Delivery was fast also.
