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.

Pricing - 5 / 5

Because Blinds.com's inventory is so extensive, it's possible to find options for every budget. They offer free shipping on all 48 contiguous states on most orders and provide a satisfaction and a SureFit™ guarantee. With the SureFit™ guarantee, if the blinds do not fit, they will take them back, make new ones and ship them for free, even if it was due to a customer mistake in measuring. They also provide a 3-year warranty (see below for the fine print) on all their products.

With the SureFit™ program, customers may need to pay if there's a difference in price between their old and new blind, or if the new blind requires a shipping fee (depending on the size of the window covering or the shipping location).

Order some blinds back in Feb before Covid. They are top down, bottom up style. Two sets, both no longer work. The spring has gone bad or something. That's fine to have an issue, but here's the kicker. THEY HAVE TURNED OFF ALL MEANS OF COMMUNICATING WITH THEM. Call them and their message is due to Covid they have stopped accepting calls. No email contact us form. Talk about poor customer service that I have to write a review in hopes of getting some sort of warranty claim started. Buyer be ware.

It is August 8th and my May 27th Blinds.com order is STILL not shipped and there is no ship date assigned yet. I had no idea the severe delivery issues Blinds.com is experiencing when I placed the order. My order is only for 4 blinds. I have ordered from Blinds.com in the past and did not have any severe delivery issues.

I've purchased quite a bit of window blinds from this company with great satisfaction. However, this is no longer the case. Blinds.com will give you the corona virus special---longer procrastination and computer generated messages redundantly. If you can't deliver the goods, why take the take my order? Email? Yeah right! This company has no empathy towards the customer--take your money and run! I will no longer deal with a hogwash company! You just lost a valuable customer and you will definitely see a snowball effect as a result.

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
