BlindsExpress.com Pricing

Pricing - 4.5 / 5

Since BlindsExpress.com offers a variety of blinds, shades and shutters, pricing depends on the customer's choice of brand and on their customized specifications. The company offers free samples and accepts multiple methods of payment, including Master Card, Visa, Discover, money orders, certified checks and Paypal. However, BlindsExpress.com does not offer financing options, and does not accept American Express as payment method, since they indicate that they charge "excessive merchant fees". BlindsExpress.com offers a satisfaction guarantee, where if the item ordered arrives with any manufacturing defects or flaws, they will replace it at no additional cost. The company also offers a best price promise, where they will match or beat the published price of any window treatments customers find as long as the total price is lower, including shipping. BlindsExpress.com warns that they can void their price match promise if the price is an error or if the manufacturers are offering promos that they are not part of.

I would not recommend using this company. Their prices are good and their products are pretty standard but their customer service is horrible! Ran into a problem with an order and the customer service person didn't want to hear me out but kept talking over me repeating the same thing in differ ways. Bottom line was they had no intention of helping me or even meeting me halfway. I will never do business with these people again and would strongly recommend staying away from this company.

The BE own blinds are standard quality. Our valences were inexplicably way too deep. THe depth makes absolutely no sense. We had to buy a saw to cut them all down, which took time and patience. I had called to complain that this was not what we expected, nor what we had ever experienced before with numerous blinds companies. I called within the 30 days of receiving the blinds and was told by a rather rude and gruff man that "too bad" it was beyond 30 days from ordering. Very unpleasant and he came across as if I were bothering HIM, a customer service rep. However, I viewed this as a defect of sorts and Blinds Express should have compensated me for the time ,etc., Otherwise, B.E. should... Read More

I've just had a horrible blind installation experience and was very disappointed to see customer service blame me fully for installation, without considering the product cocnerns. The product was a Levolor cordless mk I Lightmaster, inside mount. The inside mounts have very hard springs, and you have to pressure the front while rolling on to the back (back being against the window). They mounted easily, but in finding I had to reposition I had to remove the blind, which was almost impossible due to the hard springs and the way the mount snags the rolled lip on the case. Mounting and remounting is all on me, but the design and instructions are terrible - be warned and leave at least 1/2".... Read More
