    I ordered grey, cordless-operated blinds. They came HALF WHITE and said they put somewhere on their website that they do this for HOA’s. What a joke! We don’t even have an HOA! We can’t use these hideous white plastic blinds that don’t open and they won’t return or refund.

    The website increased the price by $100 after I put in my payment info. Before I clicked complete I went back through the cart to verify sizes and shades to be sure all was correct. I went back to the payment section to complete and it was increased about $100.00. I happened to notice because the order changed from around $850 to about $950. I went to the help section and she asked me if I had taken a screenshot of the amount when it was $850, I did not, why would I have done that??? I didn't realize they were going to change the price. I asked to speak to a supervisor and I was told "NO" that my complaint didn't warrant a supervisor. Needless to say I cancelled that order and will never do business with them again.

    I ordered three blinds for my windows and one for my patio door. All three blinds are badly made. Very thin and do not open and close evenly. These three blinds were so bad I didn’t even bother to open the patio door blind because it’s not worth the time putting them up. They say that they guarantee their work but they do not. These are garbage. Do not buy them. I want my refund. You can have your garbage back.

    Select Blinds will change your measurements. My blinds are in short and when I complain, they said well we have the right for the tolerance we state that at the bottom of the product specifications. In other words, it’s in small print that most people don’t see they didn’t fit. They refused to take them back. I don’t understand how you can measure carefully sending the measurements and they changed by an inch or more and then say too bad.

    I purchased several blinds from Select and they turned out ok. Nothing special but ok for the price. Decided to buy curtains for a large window; measured width and height and then ordered; very expensive but I thought they would be nice. Problem was there was no they; I received one large curtain; not two like you would get anywhere else. The brand ambassador has the same boiler plate response to all bad reviews; contact Brian and they will work it out; but that's not what happens; they will work it out for more money; that's their way of fixing the problem, that's why I say to read the fine print. It did say they sold curtains in one panel but it was not in the location where you would think it would be. That's their scam. Your order is wrong and you have to re-order to fix it and that means more money. Scammers!

    Hi Donald,

    I understand your frustrations, which is why we mention these are sold as single panels. This is where you put in your measurements at mid page. As we discussed, I can provide you with $312.62 in store credit and we can put in 2 orders at 66 X 86. The new amount due would be $239.38. If there’s anything else you’d like to discuss, I’d be more than happy to do so! .

Text messaging response was quite slow and in the end they could not tell me what happened to my blinds. Instead, just said I should hear from someone in 1-2 business days and then disconnected. Of course they have charged my credit card. I wonder if I will ever see blinds. Poor, poor customer service!!

    We purchased roman blinds and roller blinds for our new house. We need outside mounted blinds with our windows. The roman blinds come 3.5" off the trim which leaves a large gap on the sides. These roman blinds are completely useless for the purpose of window coverage, especially in our bedroom where we ordered darkening lining. After calling the customer service they told us there is nothing Select Blinds can do as it's mentioned on the small print. This is true however it is very buried in the website and not at all clear in the ordering. They do have a fit guarantee however this was not applicable to us.

    The roller blinds we ordered for the kids bedroom (we ordered roller blinds with cassette) come with brackets that mount the cassette 1" off the wall, while in the pictures the cassette is mounted against the wall. This is again very misleading. Not only does it look not good, it does not darken the room for the kids either.

    We are very disappointed in the service and product of Select Blinds.

    Be aware that when ordering from this company Select Blinds, plan on at least a three week wait. Thus far it is one month and the shades have not been sent out yet from California. They said it was an error on their part but did not offer anything of consequence to speed up the three week process which is now just beginning. Don't be fooled. When you track your item/s and see that FedEx has a label, that does not mean that FedEx has yet received the shade from production in Mexico. The production is a weeks process and then shipping to Fed ex and Fedex to you is another two weeks. If you call their customer support number, there is no prompt for a live rep in customer service. The only way to reach a live person is if you need a designer to help you place an order...otherwise they are tardy answered quickly emails...and very slow response to live chats. The quality is decent but the frustration is guaranteed.

    In 2013, We furnished our new house with blinds from Select Blinds. We based our selection on recommendations by friends, cost and literature from the company claiming “Lifetime Warranty” for their products. Recently, one of our two patio door blinds failed. I contacted the company by phone to arrange for a replacement. The representative said that they would only honor their current three year warranty. I sent them a copy of the literature we received and a letter stating that their products had a lifetime warranty. Their reply was that the company that manufactured the blinds had gone out of business and they could only honor their own three year warranty.

    She referred me to a designer to order new blinds for the patio door. However, the color that we have is no longer available. This means that we will have to purchase new blinds for the entire room in order to be sure that the colors will match. I am not satisfied with this reply since a lifetime warranty is a lifetime warranty. I am very disappointed that the company will not honor the lifetime warranty that was given with our purchase. We will go with blinds.com next time.

    We bought this blinds about 4 years and a half ago. In between the first 3 years warranty a couple of them broke, maybe three. As soon as we hit the 4 years, they starting to break like crazy. We have now 6 broken blinds. This time we are going with a higher quality brand that warranties the blinds for a very long time. They look nice but they won't last you long.

    If I had written this review a few weeks ago, I would have given it a good review. Upon reading the other reviews however it seems that the product and customer service is hit and miss. This has very much been our experience. We ordered shades for the top floor of our new house and were very happy with the results. So much so that we decided to use Select Blinds for the middle (main) level. The order included four motorized light filtering shades with the no tool headrail. We decided to go for the no tool headrail at an extra cost due to the persuasive promotion of the video and the ease of use.

    We trusted the quality of the product due to our previous positive experience with Select Blinds. This, however, was a mistake. The fit of these shades alone warrants a poor review. The material of the shades is 1.5 inches narrower than the mount, meaning that essentially the shades simply don't fit. In addition, the 1.5 inch gap isn't symmetrical on both sides of the shade. One can adjust the mount to fit the frame, but if measured correctly, will not have much room to play with.

    We contacted customer service to address these concerns, but they were outright dismissed because the 1.5 inch deduction is mentioned on the website, despite that the fact that the same website claims to be committed to 100% customer satisfaction. How were we supposed to know that this deduction for the no tool headrail would result in such a narrow fit without having some sort of a template to hold against the window and see its poor fit? Additionally, we placed the order over the phone with a design consultant, who never mentioned that the no tool headrail results in the more narrow fit and is therefore aesthetically unappealing in comparison to a traditional mount.

    If this wasn't already bad enough, one of the mounts came with a missing part. Even though the customer care team acknowledged this specific concern, it's now been weeks since they initially promised to issue the refund. The customer service agents appear to have no autonomy when making decisions on customer service and are at the mercy of the production facility, whose responses are very arbitrary and are not to be contested internally. For example, the production facility has promised to send us a shipping label to send the defective shade back for further inspection (apparently, the pics we were provided are not to be trusted), but it now has been weeks and the label has not arrived. It's become our hobby to speak with the customer service agents on the phone two-three times a week to inquire about it.

    It seems as though Select Blinds are great when things are going well, but unwilling to help if there has been a mistake or their customers are unhappy. We spent roughly 5k on their products since we bought the house in March, and it's a shame that we've now lost $1,600 on the four shade that we absolutely hate and that we will have to shop elsewhere for the window coverings on the remaining floor.

    Selectblinds sold me broken blinds, made me ship back batteries 3 times to "have them checked out at the factory", didn't tell me what the factory found, and ultimately refused a refund or to send solar chargers which would have fixed the problem. We spent many thousands of dollars on blinds for our home, they didn't make a real effort to solve the problem. They sell faulty products and then treat customers very badly.

    Based upon a previous Select Blinds purchase, that we were extremely happy with, we decided to replace three other blinds in our home. We ordered the same thing but this time the quality was poor. The bottom rail was flimsy and the blinds were extremely difficult to lower after they were raised up. It took all my might to pull them down and when I did It felt like it would snap. Not only was it difficult to pull down they are not sized correctly. Two of the slats would not even reach the bottom of the window which left a gap when I could pull them down. We spoke with customer service but they would not do anything to resolve the issues unless we totally Re-installed the blinds and recorded a video. I told them that we had already took the blinds down and had to put back up our old blinds and recording a video was not going to happen. Select Blinds once offered a quality Blind, but unfortunately it is evident they now offer very cheaply made product.

    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.

    When the items came, I installed it myself and realized the material is cut shorter on each side. Waited for the next morning to see how it plays out and my fear became a reality when a significant amt of light passes thru the gap, and it is even magnified when the light hits a wall and reflects back more light into the room. Tried to call Cust Service who repeatedly told me they specify it on their website that they deduct around half an inch in total from the measurement. I said the Specialist did not mention it to me and had I known, I would have reconsidered probably doing an outside mount instead. Supervisor said they cannot accept a return and instead offered me a discount for my next order! Help please!

    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 contacted the company and was asked to send in video of the measurements of the window as well as video of the shades that weren't working. I did all of this and asked for a refund. I was then told that I would have to send the shades back for inspection and if they inspected them and found them to be working properly, I wouldn't get a refund. I sent them back, but I also asked that when they test them, that they send me video of the test with the measurements (same as they asked of me) and the shades set up on the tracks that there were to be installed with.

    Long story short- they received the blinds, sent a video of them hanging freely- not on the tracks- with no measurements to prove they were my blinds and said they worked just fine. 2 MONTHS LATER and I'm still going round and round with customer service. I keep getting the same response saying they work fine and the same video. I have repeatedly asked them to test the shades on the track and provide measurements and show the side guides since they are so different from the other blinds. NOTHING.

    This is the WORST customer service I have ever received. I have no shades in my windows right now and no refund! I WILL NEVER, EVER PURCHASE FROM SELECT BLINDS AGAIN! This used to be a great company- I don't know what has happened to have it turn into this. Save yourself the hassle and don't order from this company.

    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.

    All of the blinds are cut more than the 1/2" - 1 3/8" less than the measurements that Select Blinds says is customary. The online warranty system worked well for the claim I submitted for one shade that arrived broken. The chat option is very sketchy. The operators on the other end are too informal. I had the feeling I was chatting with a very bored person who hates their job. The first issue I used the chat option for was a blind that I measured 1/4# too long and it makes a big difference with dual shades. But this blind was also a full 2" shorter in width. After some back and forth the rep offered to send a replacement for a nominal fee.

    The other issue I used chat for was to ask about returning the wifi hub. I was told no, they don't take returns for anything. I said I understood that custom-measured items couldn't be returned but didn't think the hub fit that category. They said they would check further and get back to me. I received an email a couple of days later that said they were sorry but the hub could not be returned. That was all. So be mindful of what you think you need and want as far as upgrades and extras. Because the added expense is probably not worth it. Keep expectations low.

    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.

    They tell me that there's "3 - 5 inches extra," very unnecessary. So you have no idea what random height they'll end up giving you and its not even accurate. I ask them what size should I order given my window height. They told me word for word to get 34 inch height. I assume okay well since it's 3 - 5 inches extra it'll probably fit with those extra inches.

    I get the new set of blinds and now it ends up being too short. Not only that, but the "extra height" is even off from what they stated. It's only 2 inches instead of 3 - 5. By far the worst company I have ever dealt with. They just want to keep snatching your money and making you get remakes. You won't even know what measurements you will get. It's completely random and honestly don't even expect to get the size you want. They seem to not care at all and they won't offer you a refund even though they screwed up. Avoid this company at all costs, never trust them.

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".

    I thought that would be it, but then I was told that their "quality control" people had to look into it. Who had I been communicating with? Any reliable company would take responsibility for its mistake and make things right, and want to do so right away. Instead, I'm getting passed around, with no resolution or refund in sight, and I'm wasting a lot of time having to prove that they made the mistake.

    I totally get that they need proof that the mistake is theirs, but I've never encountered a company that makes the customer jump through so many hoops. reading the other reviews, I'm nervous that I'll never see those 6 replacement blinds. That's all I've been asking for. Just send me the blinds with the exact measurements I submitted and paid for. So it's a gamble dealing with Select Blinds. If they make a mistake, you basically lose in time, money, and headache. It's not worth. Plenty of other companies with better reputations. I can't wait to see the "our apologies...our priority is customer satisfaction" message below after I post this. Give me a break. Just stand by your work and make things right when you make a mistake. That's what reliable companies do. And were exactly correct. Upon installation, the 6.

    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.

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

    Original Review: Sept. 29, 2022

    I wanted to order quality shades for my upstairs rooms that I was having renovated. It looked like Select Blinds checked all the boxes. I ordered six shades and 5 of them did not fit properly. When I contacted them they said we didn’t measure down to the nearest 1/8” but up instead. We attempted to rectify the discrepancy by trimming down the window shades to the specifications that the size shades they sent me would fit into and they still were to wide.

    I submitted another warranty claim for all 5 shades again and sent them detailed pictures of both the shades and windows. It would seem to me that once the window measurements were the size to accommodate the shades they custom cut they should fit. The company rejected my claims saying that it was my mistake even after adjusting the windows to accommodate the shades. Told me all the could do would be able to replace 1 shade at a shipping fee of $10 and I would have to repurchase the other 4. Why would I do that when clearly the shades they made didn’t fit even after appropriate adjustments were made to accommodate them. I’d be afraid they would send me shades that wouldn’t fit again and then tell me I made the mistake. These shades are very expensive and I am not about to spend more money on shades while I have 5 shades that I cannot use.

    I am so disappointed. I have contacted my credit card company to dispute the charges. Customer service was not helpful. When I spoke with them the other day the woman said that she couldn’t make any decisions on giving me a discount if I purchased replacement shades. Said she would have her supervisor call me. No one ever called. I would never recommend this company to anyone.

    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.

    She requested that, once the new shade arrived, I donate the existing remotely powered shade to Habitat for Humanity. The willingness of Ms. ** to help and to retain the goodwill of her customer for Select Blinds was incredibly appreciated. I will return to Select Blinds for other window treatments and do recommend Select Blinds to everyone who is in need of new window treatments.

    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.

    I understand this was my dad’s fault, but it would be great if the FIT guarantee worked more in the customer’s favor, especially when spending $2k on blinds. I chatted with Emily who informed we get up to a max of 4 reorders, but only 1 per order. I asked if they could make an exception to allow me to get all of my 4 reorders on this order and then I just have no more left on future orders. We were planning to get shades throughout the house and patio. She said they could not. I was trying to explain to my husband before responding to her and she disconnected chat due to inactivity. Never asked if I was still connected, if I wanted to get the one replacement or if there was anything else I needed. She just let me know she was ending the chat. Geesh, usually customer service at least asks how you want to proceed. Definitely an expensive mistake we won’t make again.

    Original Review: Aug. 26, 2022

    I recently purchased two motorized roller blinds from Select Blinds for about $1,200 total (ie: they were not cheap). The blinds arrived approximately 1/4" wider than the width I ordered and did not fit inside my window frames. In other words, the blinds were unusable. When I sent Select Blinds a photo of each blind against a measuring tape to demonstrate that the blinds were wider than what I ordered, they claimed they did not have to replace the blinds because their website stated that the blinds would be made 3/16" wider than requested.

    When I asked them to show me where on the website it stated this, they informed me that next to the text field in which the customer enters his desired width for the blinds, there is a clickable button that takes the customer to a dozen bullet points of fine print much further down on the web page (below the "add to cart" button) where it states among many other things that the particular type of blinds I was ordering would be made 3/16" wider than specified.

    I cannot fathom why they would not present this extremely pertinent information alongside the text field where the customer is asked to select his width to within an eighth of an inch instead of presenting it in the legalese *after* all the other customizable options and the "add to cart" button. It is my opinion that this information is presented in a deliberately obscure manner in order to extort money out of customers. Please avoid this company. In the past, I have ordered blinds from both The Shade Store and Blinds.com and both companies are far more reputable than this one.

    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.

    It's criminal, actually, to charge people for such a poorly made product and then pretend that it wasn't their mistake. Pretty shameful response on their end and I gladly took my business elsewhere and got a better price with more options for customization and blinds that actually fit my windows!

    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.

    Obviously the holes are precisely where the bracket needs to be placed in accordance with their installation instructions. When I reached out to let them know that their product had caused this damage to my wall and ask for advice on how I could re-install the blind given that these two holes are now useless I received an email saying "patch the holes and reinstall". Very helpful...

    Obviously you can't "patch a hole" where a drywall anchor has pulled out and then hope to put a drywall anchor back in that same hole and have it hold. When I pointed this out and suggested that they re-send a roller of a longer length so the bracket could be installed in a new location, and to include drywall anchors that they can guarantee will hold their product firmly to the wall, the response I got was "we don't send drywall anchors, use fit to measure to replace blind". I don't even know what that means. The customer service is pretty appalling. So as long as everything works correctly (obviously in my experience it did not...) and you don't need further support from Select Blinds, you're probably fine. But if their product is faulty or causes damage you are 100% on your own with that.

When I tried to reorder the ones that were out of spec, they sent me an invoice with an extra $50 charge to remake the blinds that they said were incorrectly sized. This company is a scam and they were prepared to deny our request for a refund at every turn. Customer service was extremely rude or unresponsive. Now I'm stuck with hundreds of dollars of blinds that don't fit. Their only resolution is to pay for more of their blinds. Do not buy from this company!

    I have purchased from this site multiple times in the past. Most recently I purchase 6 shades/blinds, one of which was a corded classic roman shade, with the cord located on the back on an inside mount shade. within 6 months, the cord lift device failed and can no longer keep the shade open at all. Called their customer service and was asked to send an email demonstrating the issue, which I did. I also explained that sending me the same product with the same exact setup for the cord will end up resulting in the same issue since the cord's location on the back is hard to get to on an inside mount and due to the angle and pressure it puts on the cord pull, it is most likely going to fail again.

    I asked that they replace with a cordless option. I had to keep following up with calls, emails, and text as their automatic email reply tells you they would respond within 1-2 business days, but it has taken weeks to tell me that under their warranty, they would replace it with the same exact product and cord location.

    Seeing how slow and frustrating the process has been, I find it irritating to know that I might have to deal with them again in few months over the same issue, when all could be avoided by replacing with a similar enough product that will potentially solve the issue for good.

    I spent 2k on Premium shades. After 2 days of use they began to fall apart. The product promoted in pictures and listed as "premium" does not match what is sent. I sent pictures to the company. They stated this is normal for the natural grass shades. I sent more pictures as the blinds continued to fray, strings coming out all over, and bending on the sides. They got worse and worse within just one week.

    The company still denied anything was wrong. Natural shades that are 2K should not do this. I have experience with natural shades. Furthermore the sample does not have fraying, so why do the blinds after minimal use. It is sad they don't stand behind their product and are deceitful to customers on the quality they are buying. I have side by side photos to show proof of the quality issues. Recommendation: Do not buy from this company. Cheap product from out of the US. Falls apart and they won't help you resolve.

    We ordered blinds for a new house, 14 in total. We measured the openings exactly. First, the blinds were delivered damaged. The bands holding the boxes together ripped the boxes and damaged the headrails. Upon measuring the blinds some are 1/2" - 3/4" too short. They do not fully cover the windows. I called to discuss this and they refused to replace anything but the blinds that were damaged. They blamed me and said the website makes it clear they cut off 1/2" or more from your measurements and I misread their site. The rep continued to blame me for them not fitting. Their site also specifically states "If there is a defect in a product’s material, workmanship or it was not made to the same size and specifications you ordered, we promise to resolve the issue at no cost to you for up to 90 days from the date of purchase. We even pay for shipping!"

    When I referred to this guarantee, I was told that I was misunderstanding this too. Upon further review, the guarantees on their site are full of contradicting statements. I was told if I wanted the blinds remade with the measurements I ordered I would have to pay an amount that was about 25% less than the original order. This is not a satisfaction guarantee. Do NOT do business with this company unless you are comfortable losing your money and being stuck with a product that may not fit. I am beyond disappointed, they could have had a loyal customer that would have ordered from them many times over.

    I ordered the 2 1/2" Classic Light Filtering Sheer Shades in addition to some cellular shades. Ordered the sand color and the headrail is quite large and a peachy-yellowy color. Sent photos and was told that it "complimented" the shade color. It very much does not. Most reputable companies provide a one time courtesy exchange. Sand is a cool tone and the headrail absolutely does not compliment the color of the actual shade. I had thought that a courtesy exchange would be appropriate, as I have many other large windows to cover in addition to but will order elsewhere. Being out over $700 for two treatments feels very discourteous since you cannot see the headrail sample and two inside mount measurements creates confusion.

    Updated review: April 16, 2022

    A few weeks out I am able to say that I am satisfied with my blinds. The original blind material I ordered was not available for my re-order (probably because the dye lot was yellow). I was offered the option of choosing a new material. I chose to go with what seems like the most popular material/color (Jute wheat) and the new blinds matched the sample and pictures. They look good and so far operate without any problems.

    The new blinds (which are inside mount) came with flaps on the ends, which the original blinds had & were not supposed to be on inside mount blinds. The company agreed that they shouldn't be on inside mount blinds but the replacement blinds also had them. You can see the flap on one of the blinds after installation. However the blinds are just one element of the room and I did not point this out to the company because I had already spent a lot of time working with the company to get the new blinds.

    Original Review: Feb. 24, 2022

    My natural bamboo blinds came in a very unnatural shade of bright yellow. I called to explain and they asked for pics via email, which I provided. They said they would send a sample of the color I had chosen and that I needed to send back pictures showing that they did not match. I happily did that and expected things to be resolved. Instead I got an email back saying that quality control had reviewed it and they could only offer a discount on new blinds because the color was due to natural variation.

    You can tell that the color is applied to the surface of the blinds by looking at the ends. This is not naturally occurring, but due to a faulty dye lot. I chose a featured color of blinds and I'm sure if it truly was meant to be the color of a pencil they wouldn't be featuring it. I spent $540 on 2 blinds that can't be used. I provided all documentation, which I would have thought would resolve the matter. Because I bought online I can't even speak to the person who supposedly reviewed my pictures.

    Bifold shutters do not have a track or other mechanism to keep the center of the bifold blind to the inside of the window frame as shown in all the pictures. The center free floats into the room and the blind pulls from the blind frame to float open when adjusting the slats. Called support, advised them of the situation and that this is over a sink so the inside edge blind floating outward over the sink is inappropriate. They are sending magnets to hold them open or shut, not sending any track to correct the problem. It is correctly measured and installed. Would never have ordered this for this particular application if the truth had been disclosed. The bifold representation on the website for select blinds is completely false.

    Because of an error in measurement my shutters do not fit. I called customer service and they gave me a better price on a re-order but I was not satisfied with that so I cancelled the order. The FIT guarantee is misleading. Then I changed my mind and called to again place the order and was told that they would see if I would not be charged for the extra inches. She called me back and told me the extra inches would be no charge...but the price did not change from the re-order so I told her to just cancel. Then I changed my mind again and tried to re-order but was told the price would increase. I realize I was all over the place but I was so disappointed they did not fit and I am 74 years old and I did not understand the measuring process for an outside mount.

    I also read a review that someone else made the same mistake with shutters and they replaced them free of charge and told them to give the wrong ones to Habitat of Humanity. I also asked for suggestions to mount the ones I have on the inside of the window because they fit there and they just said it couldn't be done. The customer service supervisor was Cathy.

    Due to a measurement error, three of the honeycomb shades I ordered did not fit in the windows. One shade was finally replaced under the FIT guarantee, but for an unknown reason the order was cancelled. Four weeks after my initial call and discussion, I was able to contact Customer Service to discuss again to find out the status of the three shades. Unfortunately, no one followed up with me during this time. The second issue was that two of the shades were damaged during shipping. Primarily because there was not enough packing material in the box so the four shades were able to easily move around inside the box.

    In less than two days, Marisela in Customer Service was able to get the FIT guarantee order placed and work with the Production Manger to get an account credit issued so I could finally replace the two damaged shades, and in the correct dimensions. Marisela went above and beyond to get this situation sorted out. She went down to the Production Manager's office so she could explain to him, face to face, what the issue was and the best way to remedy it. Marisela then called me to explain how Select Blinds planned to solve this. I was able to receive the account credit a short time later and plan to order the two new shades very soon.

    I previously worked for a manufacturing company that was successful because of its Excellent Customer Service policy and culture. Marisela exudes Excellent Customer Service.
