Cordless blinds
August 3, 2016

I ordered two cordless blinds. One arrived damaged, but my husband was able to bend the bent area back into place. Also these blinds do not work as advertised. When lifting the blinds, often they do not gold up evenly.

Great service.
August 3, 2016

I hasaw a good experience with blindster. The blinds are of nice quality and fairly easy to install. I had a measurement issue and they refunded me promptly. If you are getting an outside mount do not add 3 inches to the length as suggested. Add 1 or possibly 2.

Pulldown shades
August 3, 2016

I thought the website was easy to work within, I liked the options I had & I got just what I wanted. The quality of the shades is good and they pull so smoothly on the rollers. If have only one negative, it would be the time it took for the order to be filled.

Had to change style
August 3, 2016

Purchased the roman shades using one of the patterns offered. Since the pattern had a vertical and horizontal repeat, I called their customer service 2xs for a recommendation on the best style and was told the flat shade would be best. When I received the shades they looked like the fabric had been pieced together where the rods were sewn at the back completely distorting the pattern. The middle of one of the shades also sagged.
Blindster agreed to remake the shades with the soft fold style if I agreed to pay the additional amount for the style. I wanted the shades with this pattern since I had selected it to go with other elements in the room so I agreed. It took quite awhile to get the replacement shades, one still sags but I'm done with trying to make it right. Not sure I'll be ordering through them again.

I'm sorry you weren't happy with your order.
It is hard to predict how some of the bolder patterns will look in the plain style of roman shade. I can certainly understand why you didn't like the way your pattern looked. Some customers are OK with the distorted look and some are not.
That is why it is our policy to offer the other styles when a customer is unhappy with the way a pattern looks in the plain style. The flat fold style is the most pure of the styles for bolder patterns because it leaves the pattern unchanged. However, with the flat fold style you can see the threads on the front of the shade where the stay (stiff piece attached to the back of the shade so that it will fold properly when raise) is attached to the shades. This thread will match the predominant color in the shade but it will be used in all places, even if the pattern color isn't the same where the stitch is made. I believe this is why you chose to get the soft fold.
The soft fold does not keep the pattern unchanged but it does allow the pattern to flow better and is less distorting. Unfortunately, there is an additional charge for this style because it uses more fabric. When this style is chosen for the remake we only charge for the option charge so that you pay the same price as you would have if you had ordered the original shades with this option.
The shades you have should not sag. I will call you right away to get this resolved. We take great care so that our customer's get the product that they want and that they are made properly. I apologize for all the inconvenience. Thank you for your patience and understanding.

Ok Blinds
August 3, 2016

Blinds tend to get misaligned at halfway point to bottom. Not perfectly horizontal. Also, the blackout blinds were originally cut incorrectly. One was correct. Other was 2 inches shorter (width). Called and blindster resent blinds with correct width but I had to pay $30 shipping. Should have shipped free since there was blindster error.

The blinds were as not the same quality that I already had. Plus I had to send back 2 different complaints to bowed blinds and a wromg sized header. Although the CS was very understanding. I ordered these for a family reunion party at my home and I was not able to showcase the windows because of the different looking blinds that I ha to mix and match. I was upset.

I had a whole-house order. Some of the material had recently been back ordered so the manufacture time of these were a bit longer--which they let me know about after I asked. This, however, made the delivery time when I was out of state. I was told an email would be sent when the blinds shipped. This email never happened so I was unable to arrange for the packages to be brought into my house. They were on my deck for ~1 week unfortunately. But luckily nothing happened.

The product and value are great and I'm very happy with that.

Eclipse - blackout - solar shade -
August 2, 2016

We hired someone to install the Eclipse - blackout-solar shade. The Eclipse blackout solar shade has cut down the heat in the third level of our Condo-Town-home where there is no air-conditioning. I searched out your company online. We have had high cost in electric bills due to the summer heat for 20 years. I was called about installing solar roof panels but in a Condo with a homeowners association -we are not allowed to have solar roof panels. I hope the Eclipse blackout-solar shade with help cut cost and the heat. Yesterday - yes the heat was less.

This was the second time we had used Blindster, and the first for the real wood blinds. Even though this was a large order (for me, anyway ~ 12 sets of blinds, enough for four rooms), the order arrived quickly and in good shape. The blinds were easy to install, and look great. Only a couple of comments: all of the valances and hardware were in one box, which kind of confused me, as all previous orders had the hardware/valance in the same box with its blind; there were no center supports (even though the Blindster's recommendations called for center supports for this blind length & the shorter blinds we ordered from them before came with center supports); and there were NO written instructions in any box. If we had not already installed several sets of blinds, this latter item might have been a problem. All in all, not a bad process ~ but could have been perfect with just a few "tweaks" to the order by Blindster.

Great Job
August 3, 2016

They expedited my blinds and when received both showed a wear mark in the same spot. I took pictures of everything and emailed them to Customer Relations. They quickly checked with production and they sent new replacements in a very timely fashion. Great Recovery. I will use Blindster again and recommend them to family and friends. Steve
