Our Overall Rating: 4.8 / 5 (Excellent)

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.

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).

My experience with this company was stellar until the time of the install. We had someone come out and measure, we selected our blinds on the site, and the blinds arrived- all on time as promised! However, now we are experiencing horrible customer service. Our Blinds.com rep won't help us and the local installer keeps flaking out and will not respond. It is obvious this company makes their money on the order and not on the install, which is why we are left with no one assisting us.....Ouch. Such bad customer service. I wish we would have gone to a local blinds company, where I could visit the store and get my questions addressed. Now, Blinds.com is just dodging our calls and emails.....AH...Read More

Hi Regan! Oh no! I am so sorry the installation team has not set the installation appointment. I have pulled the order and you definitely should have your confirmed time by now. I am reaching out to you directly via email to give you a personal point of contact for this situation! -- Blinds.com Social Care Team

I ordered blinds on 5/27/20 with estimated July 1 shipping. It arrived in Cincinnati on July 5 according to the tracking number. It still shows that but they still haven't been delivered to me. I called last week and was told I would receive an email within 24 hours letting me know the status and nothing ever came until 7/21 in the form of a reorder of my blinds. With a reorder this will be 4 months from order placement which is outrageous. I would have expected to be contacted if the shipment was damaged and possibly given an option of a refund with cancellation. Making me wait an additional 2 months is crazy.

Took over 2 and 1/2 months to get, and yes I ordered during the pandemic but they sent me an e-mail say it would be 3 weeks. Size of blind is 3/4" to small length is OK, and color was fine. One set was missing the control rod. Never in my life did I think that they could even make aluminum blinds out of aluminum foil paper. Don't waste your time or your money, they charge you credit card BUT REFUSE TO EVER TELL you what is going on with your order, and put you on hold for over an hour.

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.
