Great Blackout Shade
July 11, 2016

There was a little delay in my purchase, due to materials on hand. However, was advised if I would like to cancel my order or wait - I decided to wait and glad I did.

Easy to do business with
July 10, 2016

I heard the ads on Rush's show and decided to order them site unseen by phone. I had confidence in the quality just listening to their guarantee. I ordered 5 large white insulated blinds. They came in exactly 2 weeks to the day as promised. They installed easily and really do insulate. I opened the blinds on a 6 foot wide box bay window and the heat poured out of it from the sun. They will pay for themselves keeping unwanted heat out during A/C season and heat in during heating season. 5 blinds were 500 dollars. They are not blinds as you would think. You cannot adjust them so you can look out. They are solid, pleated, double walled material that fold up when you hoist them up. Get white as I did if you want light and insulation at the same time.

The blinds are nice, but I ordered 34 1/2" wide and received 34 1/8" wide, which allows light on each side of the blinds to come in.

I'm sorry you had a problem with your shades.
I will contact you direct to see what we can do to take care of this. If the factory made the shade incorrectly we will remake the shade to the correct size. If the shade needs to be a different size we can take care of it under our Fit or Free Policy.
All factories make a width deduction when blinds or shades are ordered as inside mount. They expect you to order the shades using the actual window opening width (smallest of the widths at the top, middle & bottom of the window). They then make a deduction to allow the shades to fit inside the brackets and move freely in the window.

Absolutely TERRIBLE experience
July 9, 2016

They sent over half of the order either defective or too big. I used their directions and they didn't take a big enough cut off of them. They wanted to charge me to fix their issues. They kept asking me to send pictures of the defective blinds. How can I send a picture of a blind that wont open?

In the end I had to file a dispute with American Express. Absolutely terrible nightmare experience. I should have just went to a local big box hardware store and had them cut them at the store. Wouldn't have been much more if I just went there... and didn't have to wait two weeks.

While these blinds were easy to order and on the cheaper side, it is not worth the hassle. The blinds are cut to the correct size but the holes for the cords are off so the blinds look crooked. One of my valances is way too short (under cut). Also, I ordered the same exact type of blind and they all came with different parts and NO INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS. This was possible the worst place I have ever ordered from.

Replacement blinds
July 10, 2016

The directions on the website were very clear. When I did call my question was answered quickly and clearly.

My blinds came and they fit PERFECTLY! Most of all, when they are completely closed they don't let in hardly any light-great for the AZ sun.

This was a great experience and I will be ordering blinds through you for the rest of my home

Bedroom blind
July 10, 2016

I have a double window in our bedroom and I ordered the faux wood blind for it. It was delivered quickly and fit perfect. I am so happy with it. I can let a little or a lot of light in and raise the bottom a little for my cat. She is happy too. Thanks Blindster. It makes my bedroom look complete.

Blindster made measuring & ordering EASY and shipping was super fast, came sooner than expected. Although I didn't have the time to order samples, the color selected was perfect for the room and blind fits very well, as well as it looks great!

Blinds were ordered on 5/28 and delivered on 6/22 - much later than expected delivery window. This was due to large volume of orders from the Memorial day sale, which is fine, but I wish that they'd told us this up front, that there may have been delays due to high volume of sale orders--I may have shopped somewhere else if I knew about the delays earlier. We had overnight guests that I had expected to have the blinds in time for.

Ordered blinds for our new house. The quality and the price of the blinds are superior to what you find in the department stores. The blinds are easy to install. All blinds arrived and one blind was damaged. I called and spoke to someone who promptly took care of me. I emailed a picture of the damaged blind and they are shipping me a replacement. No hassle, I don't even have to ship the damaged blind back. Our windows look amazing with the new blinds.
