Select Blinds Reviews

Ordered blinds from SelectBlinds.com. Followed their instructions on measuring my windows. All of the blinds they created are wider than the windows. Customer service has refused to honor guarantee.

We were redesigning our master bedroom and needed something to completely block the sunlight from the East in the morning. I opted to call Select Blinds and work with a Design Specialist rather than figuring it out myself. Provided the measurements and the Specialist recommended a few things like getting a liner to completely block the sun. Paid almost $800 for 4 Roman shades.

The website says send in the window frame width and they will subtract 1-1.5 inches so the shade fits. I sent in a 38" wide frame. They sent me 38 ⅝" wide shade. It won't fit and they keep telling me it is within the margin of error.

We have been long time Select Blinds customers and have always been happy with their product and service. We ordered the luxury motorized blackout shades because my husband is a first responder on night shift and I've being undergoing cancer surgeries and treatments. We needed the shades with side tracks so that there would be complete darkness allowing us to sleep regardless of the time of day and also help reduce the heat coming in from the windows. We ordered 4 shades. Of the four we ordered, only two worked. The other two kept getting stuck on the tracks when they would move up or down. The side guides on the dysfunctional shades are different than the shades that work (they are all the same type of shade).

I purchased 4 motorized dual shades and 4 manual lift dual shades. There is a lot to be disappointed about. I regret purchasing the motorized option. It is not worth the added expense. Programming the remote for the multiple shades is a nightmare. It is much easier to just lift up the lesser expensive manual shades. The wifi hub is another programming nightmare and is another worthless expense. I misunderstood and thought it was necessary for remote control function but it is not. Select Blinds will not accept a return/refund for this item.

I purchased a single blind to test out the fit, and was not satisfied with the gaps of light that penetrated through the sides of the blinds. I had a multi day back and forth with a customer service rep, and had to send 3 photos, only to be told they won't be issuing me a refund DESPITE the fact I placed a second $800 order for five more blinds of a different type. Super confusing considering they have a "FIT satisfaction guarantee" all over their site. Doubtful they will make this right, so I'm likely going to cancel my other order since I don't trust this brand and purchase at Blinds.com, because they have way better customer service.

I paid over $500 for a rear door that has 5 panels. The second to last panel does not catch. They said they would send a new panel. I've emailed several times but still no panel. This has been going on for a while. There is no excuse for poor customer service like this. I would NOT buy from this company.

First off, their customer service is terrible. You can only talk to them via live chat or text and sometimes they are so inept that you need to tell them at least several times what your problem is. They have the worst cutting of blinds out of every company. I ordered blinds 4 times from them for the same windows. I got the first set and I told them that they were too long, slight measurement mistake on my part for the first time. They said to reorder and gave me a discount on one and one for free. I measured again and it was accurate 100%. I put in the correct height, they send me the blinds again and It's still too long. I order 39 inch height on the blinds and on the box it says 42 inches. I put up the blinds and it ends up being 45 inches from top to bottom fully down. So not only does the box say 42 inches which is off from what I wanted, the actual blind is way longer and isn't even the correct height on the box.

Ordered a series of 68+ blinds 5 years ago and they arrived with 48-inch wands, made sense to me as the windows are about 3 feet from the floor.. Ordered a series of the same blinds for similar windows a few weeks ago and they arrived with 24-inch wands. Our production facility has advised the product specifications were different in the past. As of 2021 they have been going by the new specifications for wands (...) If you would like a different size wand, they are $5 each + $5 for shipping. That needs to be announced up-front. Would the website be blocking a review when not recommending this product to a friend???

Yikes, I wish I had done my homework and checked out the reviews for Select Blinds before ordering. Clearly the company stalls and resists responsibility when they make a mistake. How are they still in business? I ordered 17 light filtering blinds (over $1000 worth), and 6 of them were cut too short, leaving a 5+ inch gap from the window sill to the bottom of the blind. The blinds were professionally measured; no mistake was made on my part. Okay, I thought, we all make mistakes. After some back and forth with their chat, I was told by Select to send pictures showing the full measurement of the blinds, which I did. I ordered 54" blinds, and the measurements showed that the blinds only reached to 44".

The customer service advisor, Dra' ** was very helpful and detailed in her assistance. She answered all of my questions and gave advice that made me more confident in my transaction with the company.

I've had trouble from the start. I ordered three cordless blinds, which are installed next to each other. Almost immediately they started acting up and it was clear they were not made well. One of them would not move AT ALL so I asked for a replacement. I actually didn't change them for a long time -- until I had a guest that was going to stay in the room. When I went to change them I realized that the holes for the bracket were wider than the original. I had hired a handyman to install them into concrete (it's a 1930s NYC apartment building) so it would be a hassle to put in new holes. And, since it's concrete, I'm not sure you could put holes so close to the existing hole. So now I have a blind that doesn't work and a replacement that isn't actually a replacement. Skip this company, try one of the many many other blind shops.

Brett with Select Blinds was extremely helpful with my design challenges. So helpful with getting samples and so quick with the delivery. I will continue to contact Brett for his expertise in design and style.

The company has resolved my complaint and I am satisfied with their attention to this matter.

Several months ago, I ordered a remotely powered Roman shade for the window in my kitchen. Over the months, I and another very capable young man have been unable to install the shade. There is a problem with hardware and the depth of window with regard to the battery pack. Today, I finally called Select Blinds and spoke with customer service representative, Rovena **. Ms. ** immediately understood my ongoing issue with the remotely operated Roman shade. Since the issue could not be readily corrected to allow the shade to be installed, Ms. ** issued a new order for the same shade with a manual method of raising and lowering the shade.

Worked with my representative Brett ** who provided excellent customer service with helping me place my order. I have shopped with Select Blinds several times and each time Brett provided excellent service.

It was very easy to order the samples and place an order over the phone. The person who assisted me, Brett, was thorough and confirmed the information to ensure the order was accurate. The shades arrived and they were exactly as expected. When I emailed Brett to order more shades, he responded the same day with a call and placed the order for me. Also the company honored the promotion that was available on the day I ordered my samples. Terrific customer service, and we are really enjoying the product.

We ordered 5 motorized roller shades and they don’t fit. My father took our measurements while he was visiting as we have been in NICU with our baby for the last month so he was just trying to help out. Appears he measured window, but didn’t extend to the trim so they don’t fit right after the deductions select blinds takes.

Select Blinds' brand ambassador Brian ** was able to offer me a satisfactory resolution to this problem. I appreciate his willingness to step in and will probably shop at Select Blinds again as long as he is working there.

I really wish I could leave ZERO stars. I ordered blinds, they were the wrong size, Maricella at Customer Service told me she would send me an email to send them photos of how the blinds were incorrectly cut and had none of the factory deductions their website specifically mentions they take to make the blinds fit. No email. I had to call back the next day and was told to email them the photos, within one day they emailed back to say the factory made the shades to spec and they were within tolerance. When I asked how that could be as I ordered 36 inch shades and got EXACTLY 36 inch wide, inside mount shades with NO allowance deductions taken at the factory the customer service stopped answering me.

Rovena ** was helpful and extremely easy to understand. Made my purchase easy and asked the questions that I needed to make things correct. She helped me with measurements and the colors. Explained all facts.

Brett provided excellent service. He was patient and walked me through the entire process. My window situation is unique and he took the time to carefully examine the setup and to make sure I understood my options. He sent samples promptly and followed up exactly when he said he would. He was courteous, professional, and thorough. It's important that all the details be exactly right for a custom product and I feel confident that this has all been handled correctly on his end; I'm eager to see the finished product, knowing how meticulously Brett considered all the factors involved. He made sure he wasn't satisfied until I was. Excellent customer service!

I bought a pair of very expensive roller blinds (the ones that go installed inside the windows and you pull the down with your hands). We got two roller blinds that were excessively longer than the size I asked for. OF COURSE, they refused to recognize their mistake and refused to refund my money or even re-do the product or crop it or anything. They literally told me this:

Brett at SelectBlinds.com is very professional and knowledgeable about the product we purchased. I’ll definitely keep his contact info for future needs. Looking forward to installing our new blinds. Thanks Brett!

I ordered white roman shades but got YELLOW. I went through the whole process, sending them pictures of the sample vs. product and they basically told me too bad - no refund, no exchange, no making it right. I ended up having to dispute the charge on my cc. User's recommendation: Buy your products literally anywhere else.

I ordered 4 shades online. I transposed height with width, so none of them fit. Completely my fault. I called SB to reorder and got the first one for $10 and the other three at a fantastic price. Unfortunately, I failed to get the name of my customer service representative. Would definitely use SB for future orders and would recommend to family and friends.

Their blinds are much easier to mount and dismount from their brackets than other, cheaper blinds I've purchased, and the quality is really good. They do an excellent job of blocking light and raise and lower with minimal effort. Just don't make any mistakes measuring your windows at all or you are totally on your own. Their website likes to strike this encouraging "Don't worry, you got this and we're your partner here!" tone, but unless you just order one blind you're going to be wasting your money if you purchase a blind that doesn't fit, since their F.I.T. guarantee only covers one blind per order.

I purchased an outside mount roller blind and installed it according to the installation instructions. I used my own drywall anchors as they do not provide them despite the installation instructions recommending that you use them. After one week of use, I gently pulled down the blind and one entire bracket come out of the wall, pulling the blind down with it. The drywall anchors came out of the wall and left two large holes in the wall.

A customer service manager reached out to me and resolved this issue. He was great to work with! As was the sales agent who assisted me with placing a new order!

Select Blinds does not care for their customers and refuse to refund money when the blinds don’t fit or work. Their fit guarantee is a joke, read the fine print folks, they don’t give refunds! They claim to offer customers an Oops factor but they will charge you more then the original cost (which was over $1k worth of blinds). Customer service was not helpful and I refused the delivery, sending it back. They still refused to refund my money. This company is a scam and I’d recommend you not purchase from them. Horrible customer service!
