Blinds.com not only has one of the most varied and comprehensive inventories of the online blinds retailers, it makes it simple for buyers to search for exactly what they want. Its comprehensive, easy-to-navigate website allows customers to search not only by brand and type, but by purpose, which gives first-time buyers the type of guidance they would find in a brick-and-mortar store. Blinds.com also offers professional measure and install services in select markets, and is expanding to eventually offer the services nationwide. Each product page is accompanied with information about the type of blind/shade and what it's best for. In addition, Blinds.com has plenty of educational materials about everything related to window coverings and clear instructions on how to measure for their products. The company also gets points for its 100% satisfaction guarantee and its SureFit program, where they will replace the blind free of charge (and will pay for shipping) if the blind doesn't fit, even if it's due to a customer's mistake in measuring. Additionally, they provide a pretty comprehensive 3-year warranty on all its products. As to the drawbacks, customer accounts of their experience with Blinds.com is mixed. There are more than 60 complaints filed with the Better Business Bureau, claiming mixups in orders, poor quality products, and misinformation from customer service. However, given the size of the business, this number of complaints remains on the low side. Additionally, although they obtained a mediocre 5 out of 10 on the website Trustpilot, they do have plenty of good reviews from customers praising their customer support representatives and the ease and speed of the process. Overall, Blinds.com's comprehensive inventory (which includes options for odd-sized windows, arches, and skylights), smartly designed website, and dedicated customer service keeps it at the top of the field when it comes to online blinds retailers.

Ordered blinds in early May and they were supposed to be delivered by 16 June, which has come and gone. Long wait times for customer service, and no call back when # was left...Emails and on line chat unavailable...Poor, poor customer service ....Boat from China with the products must be delayed. Maybe stuck in WUHAN....If I don't hear something soon I will be rescinding my credit card payment, and they can eat the blinds for dinner.

We have had 2 opportunities to work with Blinds.com. Unfortunately, after our most recent experience, I don’t think we’ll be working with them in the future. So far today, I’ve been on hold for 2 hrs and 47 minutes. They do offer a call back service, but when we’ve received the call back the past 3 days, as soon as we answer the phone, we get “disconnected”. Beyond frustrating!

We are needing someone to contact us. We ordered blinds from you, waited 3 weeks and they were the wrong size. You sent out a replacement. 4 week to deliver. They are the wrong size. We cannot get anyone one the phone. Tried live chat. We paid $2300 for 4 blinds. Are you not a legitimate company?

Totally terrific, superb customer service and a genuine concern for helping correct any problem you have!! I had a customer service representative named Breanna Keys; simply a true professional, straight to the point and answered all my questions and she topped it off with helping me with correcting an oversight in measurement that was totally my fault. Problem solved in minimum time leaving a very satisfied disabled veteran!! Grateful foe people who truly care when it comes to making it right, 1SG Spruill, US ARMY(Ret.) customer

Terrible experience with Blinds.com customer service. I was told when we paid for blinds installation that the blinds could be delivered to the installer's address which was a potential good back up for us. We decided to use the address of the home we are closing escrow on instead. Well, due to current lock down in place in California due to Coronavirus our closing date has now been delayed for at least 2 weeks. I called blinds.com to ask them to change the shipping address of our blinds delivery to the installer's address and I was told no that that was not allowed, even though I was told it was allowed when initially ordered the blinds. I then asked if blinds.com could delay delivery... Read More

Hi Jose, I'm so sorry this is happening. Unfortunately, due to current events, our installation team members in California are not able to receive packages or resume normal business at the moment. Our factory located in California is also currently unavailable and this will delay the time your order is shipped. We just received this update yesterday about the factory and we're receiving new updates daily. We may be able to reach out to the shipper (most likely will be FedEx or UPS) to ask for a vacation hold as well. This will extend the time you are expected to receive the blinds. Please send me a message at SocialCare@blinds.com and I can look into this further for you. We're happy to do all we can to help during this time! -- Robin U., Blinds.com Social Care Team

Since blinds.com gets so many positive reviews, I can only assume that the rep (Ayesha) that was helping me was the problem here. From the beginning there was a communication disconnect and an issue with how my profile was set up. Multiple communications were delayed, and many questions were not answered unless I pressed. I clearly addressed my frustrations and was met with an email full of reasons why the issues were my fault, instead of resolutions. To note, I did have a large order with 21 windows, which I think was more than this rep was ready to take on. I gave the rep my budget, and she came in $2000 over. When I went into the site, I was able to get all of my requests within my... Read More

Hi Richelle, I'm so sorry we let you down. I just responded to your previous reviews and want to make sure you saw it!

I'd love to take a further look, forward this to our management team and help in any way I can.

Wonderful experience! I find it hard to believe that some folks have not had a good experience. We ordered 8 blinds, different sizes for different rooms and every single one of them fit perfect and looked great! They are even better than the ones we had up. I have recommend BLinds.com to all my friends and family. I wish I could show you photos, you would be very impressed.

Terrible experience and terrible customer service. Wasted $150 on window treatments that did not fit, and when I reached out to customer service to remedy (THEIR) error, was told that I would have to spend 400 more dollars on window treatments that were on sale on the site for $350. Forever lost my business.

Blinds.com claims professional measure and install service available, it's extremely unreliable. 3rd party install service is not reachable. If you are looking for professional measure and install service , then it's better to avoid blinds.com.

Ordered mini-blinds for the living room, dining room and kitchen in a rental property. The fall sale made the price very attractive plus free shipping to boot. I measured for internal installation very carefully before submitting my order. The order came in a week earlier than expected, and the blinds were wrapped and shipped in strong packaging to avoid damage. The installation was a snap and we used the online instructions which were easy to understand. My husband installed all three in less than an hour. Plus the quality of the blinds were top quality. No problems whatsoever, and I would order from Blinds.com again should the need arise.
