    We have been shopping for custom blinds for our new home for sometime, exploring various options. We now consider it fortunate that we discovered Select Blinds. With numerous interactions, both phone and email we were always treated with courtesy by professional sales and service representatives. In particular, our sales person, Steven "Brett" **, was just fantastic. Brett's attention to detail was very important to us and so much appreciated. It's the people you deal with in buying situations like this that make all the difference.

    After ordering my 1st set out of 5 I've planned, I've called them to let them know they have incorrectly placed my phone order. After requesting a color change, they've let me know I'm out of luck. That I was over the time limit even though I was over the 24 hour allotted policy even though I was left with no option but to call them on Monday after a holiday weekend. Oh yeah, this was a supervisor who called me who basically told me too bad, too sad. Unbelievable level of customer service.

    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. I have to say the product is beautiful and the installation would be very easy if they fit.

    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. I will definitely recommend Select Blinds to friends and family and I will purchase window coverings from them in the future when the opportunity arises. Thank you!

    The website is blocking bad reviews. If that doesn't tell consumers about their business practice, I don't know what will. I tried to review the product and it said "Could not submit the review. Please try again later." 6 out of 8 caps came with broken prongs. Horrible shade construction. the shade itself fell off from the roller within an hour of installation. We have to literally use duct tape to stick the shade to the roller for temporarily use and Customer Service Rep is terrible enough to ask us to take it back out to send a picture. Is she thinking that we want to create a broken blind for fun and enjoy stick it back on, take it back out. Absolutely no sense of accommodation.

Unfortunately, I had mismeasured for one of the blinds. I called to inquire if I shipped it back at my cost and paid to have it modified, could they do that. Instead, they took the correct measurement and remade my blind. This is outstanding service and their product is top-notch!

    Select Blinds FIT guarantee is incredibly misleading. They will only replace 1 blind per order. If you are ordering multiple window coverings order separately. Shipping is free and you will be able to get replacements for each blind rather than be screwed like me and have to pay twice! The customer service team will call you stupid for misunderstanding their intentionally misleading replacement guarantee. I spent hours trying to get a replacement and Their Customer service team Ken / Cassie talked over me, raised their voices, and insulted my wife for being fooled by their fit guarantee.

    The “Fit Guarantee” is for ONLY 1 blind in the order and you pay shipping. So we ordered 6 blinds, followed their measurements to a T, and needed to return them based on fit/finish.

    I didn't measure one of my windows correctly. Not sure what I was thinking. However, when the one (of 8) blinds I ordered didn't fit into my window space, I called the company to reorder that window blind. Rovena answered and was the nicest, most helpful customer service agent I have ever spoken to. She is friendly, professional, helpful, and told appropriate but funny story. I would love to meet her sometime. On another awesome and positive note, Select Blinds remakes the new blind and just a 10.00 charge to me. Who does this??? It was MY mistake, but they accepted that, and still only charged me $10.00 to replace the blind.

    Love, Love, Love this company. Oh, yes. Their prices are extremely fair. They have budget blinds (I ordered those for the area I'm using them in), but they're very nice quality and are made of fabric. I have bought more expensive ones for other areas, and they are awesome!!! Thank you Select Blinds. P.S. Please give Rovena a raise. She certainly deserves it!

    Completely unclear website about what you're ordering and between different options you're choosing from, specifically the Roman shades between the pleated fold and soft fold. Even since I placed my order 6 weeks ago, they've changed what they call the items on the website, making it more unclear and still not making the fold types clear ANYWHERE about what you'll be getting. So I chose one based on my best educated guess based on the information they do provide, thinking I will receive a flat faced shade when the shade is down (based on everything the site indicates will be done with the options I selected), but instead it's looped with fabric all over the front face.

    They said that it was because I chose the wrong style -- which I chose wrong because they have to way to tell what I was getting by choosing that option -- they won't replace it, won't take my blind back to even just fix what was done wrong on the one I received and send the fixed one back to me - won't refund it. They say my only option is to order a brand new one with them. Their site says they have an "awesome customer service team" - awesome customer service means that you service the customer to uphold what the company communicates. They do not do this at all. The ordering communication is unclear -- even after I read EVERY single word provided about the different options I was choosing and what that changes on my order BEFORE ordering -- and they don't reconcile or "support" the customer in any way when you try to ask for the order to be made like you expected based on what they communicated.

    I moved into a new house and needed blinds quickly. When I placed my order I was told 4-5 business days. After 9 business days I called the company. They told me my order would be *another 4-5 business days*. Maybe. No guarantees. I told them, as politely as I could, that I really needed blinds ASAP and would need to order with someone else as we were now living in the new house without any window coverings. I requested they cancel my order. They refused.

    Apparently they don't care how long it takes them or what lies they put on their website. Some of items were already made and returns/cancellations just aren't something they do. Even when they fail to make the rest on time. The items that weren't finished - they couldn't tell me what the status was and wanted 1-3 business days to see if they'd *allow* cancellation of them. This does nothing for me because, first, I don't want to wait five days (three business days) to find out and secondly, because the blinds are supposed to match.

    Completely disappointing experience. I've never dealt with a company so proud of its incompetence. They took my money. They didn't give me blinds. Their new estimate is 3 times longer than they advertise. They can't tell me why it's delayed. They can't tell me if they've even started. Oddly enough, while they are incredibly backed up the website still shows 4-5 business days for new orders. Stay away.

    This company is a scam and intentionally alters their photos to appear different from the product that is received. Their blatant refusal to take any responsibility and only gaslight the customer tells me that this is intentional and shady business practices made to mislead the customer. I specifically bought these blinds from them because they were completely black, unlike the same exact blinds you can get half price from Amazon which have the white top, base and cord.

    Instead of acknowledging their completely false advertisement intentionally created to increase sales from competitors they claimed that the description of the product mentioned it was white, this is false and the link to this product was taken down since I ordered: https://u5703219.ct.sendgrid.net/ls/click?upn=vMUrIex0w2WqG0I5LH5NDgP6EFPsay0eDlgicUKSqXci8-2BXP72uD5WYwPGcCp5aUmu8FF-2Bu1Vgu9zCZkmaioBiO8cGbcYStUfctdKJ8dapJNhaVJimvlcFP7T4j-2F-2FEfAiSs8igTAeL2Xi9bEv1i-2B6RN3QJreXAqEjDOEkFV7tatALUYDJRHVwHKZoNgH0D5EfX7Y7l2dmtBSQTPEPovUY85kpk7f3bb-2FfHPIbPK-2BhQ8-3DuNTb_lJFxiU9r-2Bu-2BMxopsJJtPnDVe-2FmdwEOmxauFR6FBGa3DAKVOyBMeOoQoBnSDthm32iSquD2NvXE1Fj8FvPnTPUBtxd0-2FfH9lM7tqZ7kt4y3p0tDD5CbYu7iG-2Fg5dX7-2BXIW5du9aEiajpgfEb4APWdzYhu6Tv3I5ZWjq38jCt8gTSWJJJc4ZOZa6cw-2FD24bGb0CLeoXj-2BrJqbljuEuAv-2FyLbsyebBLd9OdaugYyv-2BDdxsehp16hdhBIPHCcYYhXCYB.

    They have since reposted the product under a different name from "Essential Light Filtering Dual Shade" to "Traditional Light Filtering Dual Shade" intentionally to remove the negative reviews due to the false advertisement on this product. Please note in the email that they didn’t even link to the product, they just wrote a random bullet point claiming it was the product description in the email do me. If you look up the product on their website there is nothing in the description claiming that there are parts of this product that do not match the color ordered. You can see the "new" listing of this product here: https://www.selectblinds.com/zebra-blinds-shades/traditional-light-filtering-dual-roller-shades.html

    Underneath the picture they have written "Image may include upgraded options". Their customer service team and managers have used this as a copout to claim that the product received may not be what is shown in the picture due to that piece of text. However, if you click through the upgraded options it tells you nowhere how it affects the color of what you have purchased. This is extremely deceptive. Their customer service only exists as a barrier to protect them as they continue to take advantage of consumers. FTC, BBB, and Consumer Affairs reports have been submitted since this business practice of false advertisement is illegal.

The blinds arrived within 2 weeks, but were the wrong size, and the wrong color. We have made over 10 outreach attempts, and have had multiple conversations with company representatives, and we have sent many videos and photographs documenting the problems with our product. The company has not stood by their guarantee, we have received no replacement blinds or service. It has been over four months since this process started.

    I ordered 4 faux wood blinds for a whopping $735 from Select Blinds to add to existing blinds that came with the house. The blinds arrived well packaged, but upon opening the box I discovered that they are made with sub-standard materials. Unlike the existing blinds of the same size, the Select Blinds products require one or more bare-metal support brackets under the header which the slats hang from.

    These brackets are very visible against the white blinds. The older blinds have headers (I wish I knew who made them) made of 2” x 2” sufficiently thick metal that require only end support, whereas the Select Blind products are a mere 1.5” of flimsy metal unable to support the weight of the blinds without unsightly brackets across the top. The pull-string knobs are also made of super-cheap plastic instead of wood which looks much better.

    I called customer service and they were of absolutely no help other than to say I should “paint them” (the brackets). Lesson learned for me. Before purchasing blinds, talk to a real person and make sure that their products are well-engineered (proper 2” x 2” headers would add less than a dollar to the manufacturing costs vs flimsy 1.5”). Overall - my Select Blinds purchases are a poor value made from unnecessarily cheap materials, foreign made with foreign-language tags, with a “you get what you got” attitude from the company. $735 NOT well spent.

    Updated on 08/24/2021: On August 4th, I spoke with a customer service representative via text. They confirmed that they would not replace the shade that was too small because a 1 1/8 of an inch is well within the material size difference parameters. The representative did confirm that the broken shade would be replaced but they would not be able to ship it until August 11th. As of August 23rd, I still hadn't received the shade so I reached out to Select Blinds, via text. I was informed that the item still had not shipped because I "failed to respond" to them. I sent the representative a screenshot of my text conversation, and requested a full refund for the damaged blind. I have eight more shades I need to purchase. This is obviously not a company I want to continue my business with.

    Anyone looking to do business with Select Blinds, I encourage you to read other reviews on Google and Consumer Affairs. Many people have reported having poor experiences with Select Blinds' customer service department. There are way too many other companies out there that provide similar products with much better customer support.

    Original Review: I purchased three blinds for my living room area. The main reason I went with Select Blinds was because of the FIT Guarantee. It's nice having that reassurance. At least, it sounds like a nice thing. I received my blinds after about a two week delay due to a supply backorder. Not much anyone can do about that. Installing the outside mounted blinds is a little tricky, because the brackets do not sit level with the blind housing. This made it a little tricky as I wanted to mount the blinds flush along the top of my window and door frames. Once I figured out how to get the fist blind up, the other two went up pretty easily. Right away I noticed one of the blinds was cut about an inch too short. A day later, one of the other blinds fell out of the housing while rolling up.

    I called Select Blinds to inquire on both issues. For the unit that was cut too small, I was told that the motorized blinds are not covered under that promotion. I asked about the blind being cut shorter than the dimension I listed when ordering. Apparently I missed the part that said to take a 1/8" deduction into consideration when I was ordering the items. Even though the unit was short by one inch, Select Blinds refused to replace the unit. They did offer me a discounted price of $180 to buy a replacement. But after spending about $1,000 on this set, I'm not thrilled about spending any extra money. I'm now jumping through the hoops to replace the defective unit. I'm hoping I have some better luck during this process.

    Updated review: Aug. 10, 2021

    After a final email exchange wherein I told the company that I had grown tired of trying to get my blinds remade and that I gave up, they elected to remake the blinds. The new ones DO function properly, but the way their customer service department handled was disappointing.

    Original Review: July 18, 2021

    I bought 2 blinds for my husband's office about 7 months ago, well within the warranty period. The mechanism for keeping the blinds open was very aggressive, tearing apart the string that controls the blind and only allowing the blind to close/open in 1" increments. Week one: I sent a photo of the cord. I asked about their policy; they only do replacements. OK, that seems reasonable, however, I asked in three emails how replacement blinds would be different than the first set. The first two were unanswered and the third said they would look the same, but function properly. No word on using different types of parts or adjustments that could be made. OK, I think, maybe they don't know what they need to do but will sort it out.

    They asked for a video. No problem. I sent one of my husband playing with the blind. I explicitly said both blinds were behaving precisely the same way. The first group saw the video and kicked it up the chain. Week two: The next group couldn't see it. I sent it again and said that the video is available to anyone with the link; I hadn't changed a thing. Miraculously, this time they could see it. Now they want a second video of the blind. What on earth for? This has become tiring. The blinds are defective. I've given you ample data that supports that assertion. Now please either remake the blinds or refund my money. They don't work! I gave them 2 stars because the blinds came in a timely fashion and are the dimensions I required.

    Our small living room blinds which look out onto our street broke. We ordered replacement blinds from SelectBlinds, waited an agonizing 2 weeks with a sheet covering the window for privacy. “Our” blinds arrived yesterday which - just by the size of the box - were clearly ordered by someone else whose window is twice the size as our window!

    SelectBlinds stated they “had no way of knowing” to where our blinds were sent. What? We received an email from them stating new blinds would be made for us and would be delivered in ANOTHER 2 weeks! The simplest thing to do was to track down where our blinds were shipped as well as ascertain who didn’t receive the blinds sent to us! Send a correct shipping label to each party so the blinds could simply be swapped!

    The first order: 1 of 2 shades broken, material correct, shoddy workmanship-company agreed to send new shade. New shade sent was wrong material which was close but not same and clearly seen. So we had 2 miss matched shades. (Landon shade and Landon beige). They sent another 2 shades saying it was because it was not cut from the same bolt of cloth but we got 2 more of the same mismatched shades. Since we didn't want to deal with them anymore, we took one matching shade from the 2 sets they sent but ended up with the cord on the same side which left it in the middle of the doors but worth it to not deal with them again. In addition to all this hassle the workmanship was very poor and I don't expect these to last a year.

    The cords had knots from where they glued the ends together which get caught in the cord holder...We had to fix this. The magnetic things that hold the sides of the material to the top don't hold so we had to use Velcro or it looked bad. There was extra strings of material not trimmed which got caught in the roller so we had to fix that. The holes at the top for mounting were in different places on every shade so when having to rehang the shades they sent, new holes had to be put in the wall and trim. Also the cords came in different lengths adding to more holes in the trim.

    The ordering was unclear and we ordered too short and because the blinds collect at the top we could not lower the shade to accommodate and therefore our shades are 2 inches too short. They would not allow us to fix this when they sent us replacements. They never got the shade material right and we have 3 extra broken or mismatched shades. I would never order from them again...ever!!

    This is the worst company I have ever dealt with. The shades I ordered were poorly manufactured and are of poor quality. They were motorized shades, one of the shades didn't have a recharging port to recharge it. They refused to remedy this. One shade has a very noticeable wrinkle in it due to a manufacturing defect, they refused to remedy this too. Actually, they did offer a 15% discount. I'm not sure how this fixes the defects and makes them into usable blinds. I'm not sure who would pay money for non usable blinds. Another shade fell out of the housing unit due to another manufacturing defect. They offered to refund this, however, this leaves me with no shade, or I have to order another shade from a different company that wouldn't match the other shades. Poor quality and very poor customer service. Stay away from Select Blinds. I would love to post pictures but there isn't anywhere to post them.

    Updated on 05/10/2021: I previously posted a review of a three piece wooden blind set that I bought from Select Blinds where the draw on one of the three had stopped working and was very crooked. Select Blinds offered to repair the defective blind but did not offer a temporary replacement. I didn't want to be without a covering for three weeks, so I just cut the mangled mess behind the defective shade and left it permanently down. Now its mate on the other side of the three has a draw that has stopped working and I'm left with only one of the three blinds that I can actually raise. Luckily, the large, central one is still working well.

    Perhaps it just the hardware on the narrow windows that is faulty, but I don't see how I can send anything back to them for repair and expect to get blinds back that would work any better than the originals. It's a shame because the blinds themselves are nice. Perhaps I can find someone locally to repair them without all the shipping delays. (I will include pictures if I can.)

    Original review: I bought a set of three Designer Woven Wood shades from Direct Blinds last fall. The shades themselves are beautiful and two of the three worked fine. But the single shade with a left hand pull did not pull evenly and laid crooked across the window. Select Blinds replaced that blind quickly and I applaud them for that. However, 6 months later the replacement blind has failed. When I tried to draw it, only one side would draw and it finally stopped working with the shade at about a 45 degree angle. I had to cut the mangled mess in back to lower the shade. Their wood shades are very nice, but their draw mechanisms are unreliable. Perhaps the problem is only with the left hand draw?

    On January 25, 2021 we ordered three blinds for our kitchen/dining room and living room. We loved them at first. They are beautiful and so far durable. We had a problem with the LR one. When closing the blinds, they wouldn't close all the way because the top slat was hitting the bracket that connects the blinds. Then they would bow in the middle. We called CS on Feb. 8, talked to a man, he said it could be the lever/tilt mechanism so he sent us a new one. We also ordered 3 NEW valences cause the ones that came with the blinds did not have a return and there were no clear instructions on how to order them. On a scale from 1-10, the ordering process is a 5.

    Anyway, we were told by the CS rep we would get the valences by the 15th. We did not receive a confirmation. Called CS again on February 22. Talked to a woman. She said she'd check into it and email us. No email about the valences. Called CS for the 3rd time on February 25, spoke to the same woman again, she said she'd check and said production had the order and/or she had to reorder it on the 22nd because they missed it on the 8th. She was cordial, but not helpful. Asked her a couple questions about ordering and she answered but wasn't personable. Could tell she wanted to get off the phone.

    Didn't get a confirmation, again, so I waited and called for the fourth time on March 3, 2021. Spoke to another woman in CS. Complained that I wanted to talk to a supervisor, but she was more personable and apologetic so I gave her a chance. She looked into why we still never received the valences we ordered a month ago. She said "the production team overlooked the valences and just reordered our new blind". So she reordered the valences for a third time and apologized and said she'd definitely call me or email me confirming the order. She didn't. Hence the fifth call to CS on March 10th.

    Spoke to another CS rep, a woman and told her off the bat I wanted to talk to a supervisor, instead of getting to speak to the supervisor I have to wait in the queue and the supervisor will call me back. Or at least I hope cause the CS rep hung up on me. She was nice and checked into the order and said the valences were shipped out today. That was over 2 hours ago, still didn't receive a confirmation. I will NEVER EVER ORDER FROM THIS COMPANY AGAIN. THEIR CUSTOMER SERVICE DEPARTMENT, QUALITY CONTROL AND PRODUCTION DEPARTMENTS ARE INCOMPETENT.

    Oh, and the replacement blinds we received close perfectly, but now, there's a number embedded clearly into on of the slats! Their CS motto is "100% satisfaction is our goal" is a joke. I'm 0% satisfied. I should know. I worked in CS for three years for a national roofing company and we never had a customer call us 5 times to get the order right. I am beyond frustrated. I am livid.

    A string on the blind that I had purchased tore causing it to no longer raise & lower. Customer Service agreed to promptly replace it at no cost. I preferred to replace it with a cordless version so they offered me a nicely discounted price for the upgrade. I have purchased a large number of blinds from this company & have always been pleased with the quality & their warranty service.

    Brandon was outstanding. He resolved my problem in such a great way that I was comfortable to spend more money and do all my windows at once. He never made me feel pressured and spent the time to talk through unique situations with my window sizes. In the end I hope everything fits nicely. He assured me I could call him back personally if I have any trouble. Thanks Brandon for everything!

    My measurements when ordered were 2 blinds at 23" (46" wide). My husband shortened that by an 3/4 inch (now 45 1/4) when he finished with new window and trim. Select Blinds is making me a custom 22" blind to fit the 45" with one of the 2 23 inch blinds that came. Select Blinds said to use or donate the other 23" blinds and total charge was $11.46. $10 for shipping and $1.46 tax. This is the best thing that will happen to me all year I am sure. I highly recommend these beautiful blinds and this amazing customer driven company.

    Read the fine print before you buy anything. They won't return anything, not even unopened routers, remotes, and chargers. The fit guarantee is only for one blind per order. So if you need 3 blinds, make it 3 separate orders. Want two blinds for one price? If you have two windows the same size, order one blind 1/8" inch short and call them to replace it 1/8" larger. They send you a new blind and you get to keep the original blind.

    This has been the WORST online buying experience. I spent over $500 on 3 new shades. From the moment I opened the box I wanted to vomit. I spent so much money, and the color of the shades was not the same as the sample. To make matters worse, on the blind I did install, the strings rub against the screws and will soon cut through the strings. In the many e-mails back and forth needing picture after picture, nothing got resolved and I was told that the shades would only be produced in the same "color" I selected before. This is ridiculous! I got a faulty product in an off color and I can't even get my money back or get it made right. Everyone needs to know that Select Blinds are crooks!

    I ordered Roman shades with the no tools headrail. The measurements I sent in were correct and the shades are lovely but the no tools headrail was the wrong size and does not fit my window. I am unable to install the shades. I have spoken to several agents. I’ve sent photos and was told they would remake the headrail. I waited a few weeks then called Select Blinds only to find out that there was a “system error” on my request for new headrail. I have contacted them several times since then to no avail. All I have been told is my order is under review. I am really disappointed and upset that this simple issue isn’t being resolved, I’m just getting the runaround. These shades are not inexpensive and I thought it would be a good experience but unfortunately it has been a major hassle with $370 of shades sitting in a box.

    Went ahead to order Select Blinds on 12/01. At the time of order, the website displayed a message in bold mentioning that if the order wasn't delivered by Christmas, the order would be free. Not paying too much attention to this (since my product didn't show a backorder), I placed the order. 3 days later on 12/03, I received a confirmation email confirming that the item I ordered was on track to be delivered on time. Ultimately, my order came in 12/29 and when I went back to remind them of the refund promised, they kept finding reasons and excuses to not honor this or issue my refund. Daily chats / emails / follow ups led to no result. The one star is mainly due to the ill marketing promises made to get customers but once the money is received, none of those promises are kept. Would recommend opting for 3 days blinds or blinds to go. They honor their word at all times.

    I installed them backwards. They look good now. Beautiful shades. Would have been 5 stars if the directions were better labeled front and back. Horrible customer service even after sending them pictures of the 2 side windows already installed, they weren’t able to tell me they were backwards.

    Original Review: Jan. 4, 2021

    The 2 little windows had a very easy install. I had a professional measure for me and the new tools install is like a pressure mount or a tension rod. To install, first the head rail goes on the window by pushing the plunger up and this locks the head rail into place and then you place the shades on (click them in). The big window, the plunger piece was already locked into place with the shades stuck in the head rail. I was on the phone with customer service for a while and had to wait for my husband to come home and we both had to do it since the window was big and the brackets kept re clipping in. Had the 3 shades up for a few days now, they looked beautiful until I just went to adjust the middle large window and the shade fell off onto my bruising my arm. Upon closer Inspection of the 2 smaller windows, it looks like the clamps aren’t large enough to hold the shades in. Very upset.

    I ordered blinds in early October of 2020. The day the blinds were to be shipped, I got a backorder notice. Okay. No biggie. I waited. The day after the blinds were to be shipped, I got another backorder notice for the color I'd chosen and announcing that other colors were available sooner. Called, spoke to a very nice woman who changed the color for me, and assured me it was available. A month later and two days after the blinds were to be shipped, I got a third backorder notice dated more than a month away. During this entire time, Select Blinds continue to send email advertising re: a big sale on exactly the blinds that were backordered. Called customer service and was told no one was available to cancel the order due to the holiday but I'd receive a call on Monday. No call. Email notice of cancellation. I'm done with Select Blinds.

    Warning to all - stay away from this company Select Blinds. They will promise you the moon during the sales process (Ryan) and then leave you out in the cold with defective products. I placed an order October 30th for modern roller shades. They arrived in a timely manner. Then the fun begins. I ordered color MINT WHITE but received a beige color. I was told by the supervisor (Yvonne) who finally reached out to me almost 10 days after my initial inquiry (and several inquiries in between) about the damaged shades that Ryan should have provided me a color sample. And that he was reprimanded for not doing so. I was asked by the supervisor Yvonne (after another 8 days to reconnect from her first communication because she left me a voicemail with no direct call back number) to send pictures and detail the issues.

    All the modern roller shades had the following issues: 1. wrong color 2. unraveling on the sides 3. cut unevenly on both sides 4. the shade was not flush with the pull. All this contrary to what is advertised on their website. So after they make me jump through hoops to take pictures and document all the issues I receive an email on 12/18/20 (not even a phone call) to tell me my refund request is denied and that I can just cut the string off on the sides. What is wrong with these people! Totally dishonest.

    They are unraveling on the sides which takes away from the fabric in the shade. Unreal! It makes no sense. And also addressed the pull not being flush because "rollers receive fabric deductions for proper manufacturing. This is why it does not fill the full expanse of the bottom rail width". Um that is NOT what is advertised on their website. And was never mention during the sales process. And also I do not believe this excuse. The other fabric shade I ordered is flush just fine thank you. These modern roller shades are DEFECTIVE. POOR QUALITY. POOR CRAFTSMANSHIP. Almost $3,000 of junk shades.

    The other items I ordered were fine. These modern rollers shades horrible. I want a full refund. Poor service. Poor everything! Order # **. Now, no excuse for someone who is in a higher position than the supervisor in the company to reach out to me and process my refund for the modern roller shades. I hope this review deters many people from dealing with this company. Buyer beware!

    Oh my goodness! We recently moved into a new home. First set of blinds for bedroom, we ordered from Lowe’s; nothing wrong except husband mis-measured. We put those in a room seldom used and ordered a higher end style (I measured this time) from Select Blinds. They were perfect! Blinds from Lowe’s were basic and blinds from Select Blinds were top down, bottom up and HALF the price! We ended up ordering blinds for two more rooms. As long as you measure correctly, they will be perfect! What we were also happy with is their willingness to send samples—not small samples but samples large enough to really help make a decision. We would 100% recommend Select Blinds! We ended up with top down, bottom up for 2 rooms and solar shades for another room and we are so happy with our choices and with the quality of the finished product. Also, delivery is amazingly fast.

    Updated review: Nov. 11, 2020

    UPDATE: Adding one star to reflect that the company finally did right and approved my refund, which I have now received. It is still frustrating that the company is very quick to respond to negative feedback in a public forum online, but seem to drag their feet when dealing with a customer one-on-one. I would still caution someone from doing business with Select Blinds; it seems like unless they get your order exactly right on the first try, the savings offered by a company like Select Blinds will be offset by having to commit so much extra time to dealing with their customer service which is, at best, dysfunctional, and, at worst, intentionally incompetent as a strategy to push away dissatisfied customers. Order at your own risk!

    Original Review: Nov. 6, 2020

    This was an agonizing process. Let's break it down... The Good: My order arrived on time. The Bad (everything else):

    THE FIT: The three blinds were each exactly a 1/4” shorter than the widths I requested. The website mentions that a 1/8” deduction will be made to the width, with a +/- 1/8” on top of that. What they don’t tell you is that they’re going to deduct a full 1/4” no matter what. My guess is they do this so that fewer people will have blinds that are just barely too wide to fit. The website advises to *not* account for the deductions made at the factory when submitting your measurements, but if you want a snug fit and you don’t want them to make extra deductions, I would add 1/8” to your width measurements when submitting them. Do this at your own risk… if they’re too wide there’s no hope they will fit (for an inside-mount).

    THE INSTALLATION: They sent me the wrong hardware… You would think that, seeing as this is one of their most popular and basic products, they would have this figured out, right? Wrong. I’m a professional carpenter and installer, I do this kind of thing for a living, and I could not for the life of me figure out how to install these blinds because the instructions are so poorly worded/formatted and because the service representatives at Select Blinds are unfamiliar with their own products (and, well, because they sent the wrong hardware to begin with). The instructions just say “install the brackets…” Well that is spectacularly non-specific and unhelpful… especially when the brackets that were sent are incorrect.

    CUSTOMER SERVICE: Useless. Totally unhelpful. Whoever is reading the emails at Select Blinds is skimming them and then sending back generic, non-specific responses. An agent sent me an installation video for a *different* product than the one I needed help with. A second agent just sent me a PDF of the same poorly-worded instructions that came with the blinds. (In what world is that helpful?)

    After an agonizing hour-long call with customer service, they were finally able to ascertain that they DID IN FACT send the incorrect hardware for installation. The agent asked me to text her a photo to verify that the hardware was incorrect… the problem with this is that I had already sent in this photo. Someone had ignored it or not seen it. So had someone been actually thoroughly reading my emails and looking at my pictures, they would’ve noticed that I had the wrong hardware the whole time instead of sending me useless resources. But it was ME who had to tell them that I was pretty sure they had sent the incorrect hardware. It should not be the customer’s burden to know things like this; I’m sure many customers would not have the expertise to identify something like that.

    Finally, after I had lost my patience with this horrible company and requested a refund, the agent I was talking to immediately lost interest and changed her tone. She was very clearly fed up with helping me, and I was fed up with being “helped.” I’m hoping that my refund request will be approved and I can put this unfortunate experience behind me.

    Order from this company if you are really into frustration, incompetency and clueless customer service. My blinds are still not right after 3 re-orders, even after DRAWING A PICTURE WITH MEASUREMENTS with the original order. I finally rearranged and cut/modified the multiple screwed-up blinds for reasonable appearance, and vowed to them and myself to tell the world not to deal with them. Trust me they are expecting this review!

    I kept referring them to the multitude of pictures of obviously-wrong product, asking them to compare to the ORIGINAL ORDER that should be readable by a 5 year old. I was incredulous to receive replacement blinds (waiting another 2-3 weeks each time) that were EXACTLY the same as before. Clearly the right hand doesn't talk to the left hand at Select Blinds, and you will likely be stuck in the middle. Oh, and they won't reach out to you, prepared with your order specs and issues history - they just send a form-email saying that you need to contact them regarding questions/problems, then act like someone else must've sent the email. Bam!... start all over and explain it again to the proverbial 5-year-old.

    See picture... does anyone have door windows shaped like that? This shows attempts one and two, with third and final attempt exactly the same, despite the original order WITH PICTURE AND MEASUREMENTS of one-sided notch cutout, clear as a bell. BTW, all four other blinds were wrong also, with lift wand and draw cords opposite from order, or disappearing lift cords. They finally got two of the other four correct, but I had to modify one of them, cut the notch myself and replace the one they couldn't wrap their heads around.

    And don't get me started on the original price quote that they reneged on and sent me another bill despite assuring me that the color I changed to would cost the same - it was a LOT more than I expected but they said it "has been sent to production". But I stuck with it because the original color options are seriously limited, like choosing between black and white, nothing in between.

    Words to live by: avoid getting COVID-19 and dealing with Select Blinds.

    Product is good. But I had something spill on the fabric and tried to get only the roller portion ordered without the remote winding mechanism which costed an additional >$100, but they would not allow it. I am sure if it was under warranty, they would change the part out vs the entire product, so this is was not good customer service in my view where they want to force somebody to buy a new product. I rather find another seller where I can buy a broken part without shelling out the full cost of the product.

    Is great that you can order swatches of fabric to make an informed decision on that piece of your order but when you receive the actual product, the quality is that of a DIY project gone wrong. I ordered 2 roman shades in one of the shear fabric options to filter afternoon sun. The fabric is great...but I can clearly see every staple used to assemble the blind from 15 feet away! Not to mention they provide massive dark brown mounting hardware that you can also see very obviously from the next room. This fabric should not be available for the product if this is how it is constructed (cheaply!!!) Or the construction needs to be of higher quality... Seems simple enough to fill staple holes or do a second wrap of fabric around the head rail or have brackets that aren’t DARK BROWN to go with a shear WHITE fabric, right?

    I gave the company the benefit of the doubt and contacted customer service. After providing pictures that clearly show the poor quality of the product, they told me that I could buy new blinds with a 10% discount... I won’t spend another penny with this company and really glad I tried out 2 smaller blinds before committing to more for my new house. This company doesn’t care about quality or customer satisfaction - it’s about producing the cheapest product and covering themselves with a no return policy. Buyer beware.

    This is an update to my prior (positive) review, which was based on my ordering experience (and was good). Since receiving the shades, my experience has been extremely negative. We ordered 7 blinds and have issues with 5 of them, including physical damage to 2 shades, malfunctioning operation of 1 shade, and misrepresented description for 2 shades.

    Making matters worse, we have had a very negative experience communicating with SelectBlinds. After receiving the blinds, I sent an email to the sales rep, who had been so helpful in ordering the blinds. After not hearing from him, I reached him via phone. At best, he offered very little help in resolving the issues. And at worst, he was outright rude and insincere (e.g., suggesting that the mismatched shades we received based on his suggestion were in fact "the same" because the *colors* were the same, not the physical dimensions, and that the problem was our fault because he only provided a "suggestion", but we were the ones who decided to take his advice!).

    After moving on to the customer service team, we have experienced nothing but delays and a confusing game of "operator". It appears that SelectBlinds treats each issue as totally independent, and each issue has to go through a process of emailing customer service, who then has to email a different group with authority to make decisions about the order, who then contacts me via email, often with an incomplete or opaque answer for which I have to go back to customer service, who in then has to contact the decision-making group for clarification. (It's quite a sign when one in-house team doesn't know what the other in-house team is talking about!) Each of these steps takes 24-48 hours, which adds up to days to weeks to address each issue — in fact, after two weeks, we’ve only addressed one of the issues thus far!

    I have asked SelectBlinds if I could please have a single conversation about all the issues and have it directly with the group who has all the information and decision-making ability to get these issues resolved. I'm awaiting their reply... Unless my experience communicating with SelectBlinds changes dramatically (I'm hoping it will!), I would not recommend them in the future.

    My family has window blinds from SelectBlinds.com installed on almost every window in our home. All installations used the provided hanging hardware, and followed directions as indicated from SelectBlinds.com. All of the products were purchased approximately 4 years ago. On the evening of Monday, September 19, 2020, my husband and I were sitting in our family room when a loud explosive/bang startled us. A large metal spring, 9 inches long and 11/16 diameter, was ejected from the top of the window blind, broke through a plastic end cap on the product, and hit the window trim and opposite wall with great force. The malfunction resulted in plastic fragments strewn about the room, part of the window trim was shaved off from the metal spring scraping against it, and of course, a broken window covering that can no longer be raised.

    Upon examination, we surmised that the large metal spring was under tension when the plastic "hook" that was holding it in place cracked and released it. The potential for this malfunction, and the force at which the spring hit part of our window and wall is a major safety concern. We have two small children who play in this room often, and we have the same product installed in almost every room of our home.

    I contacted Select Blinds to notify them of the incident, and they replied that their Quality Control department would look into it and get back to me. A few days later they said they would send a replacement, but that it is backordered, and may be delayed further. I found this response to be severely lacking and untimely. Will this happen to all of my shades? I also have them in the children's bedrooms. These items should be recalled and refunded or replaced. I truly hope that there is a way to quickly notify all customers of the potential for this to occur, the safety risk, and the danger to children for a significant injury.

    When you exercise your shade it keeps the spring from possibly malfunctioning you can think of it kind like maintaining them if you have noticed you haven't lifted or lowered your shades for a few days this will help with maintaining well-opporated shades.

    I ordered roller shades from Select Blinds after having ordered more than $2k in the faux wood 2in cordless shade. The instructions for measuring external mount roller shades were not well articulated and the instructions contradicted themselves. After having watched the videos for measuring for an outside mount I took measurements and placed my order. Upon receipt the roller shades were about 1.25in short.

    Customer service refused to replace the shades highlighting part of their description of the shades, the description however contradicted the instructions for measuring and another section of the instructions were not clear. The video however was very specific, I should not be responsible for deducting on my measurements, this should be accounted for by the company as was done with the other $2k in shades we purchased. Despite us being a regular customer and my wife working for an interior designer the company choose to not replace the shades and update the descriptions, video, and instructions to more accurately reflect what needs to take place to ensure customers get the right product for their purchase.

    Received on time but 7 of 7 were damaged. Seems the machine or technician that cut fabric burned the ends... then folded it over while adding finishing touches. Called customer services and was told some people just have different quality standards. Created a damaged good claim and it has been a week without a response. Customer service also says damage claims are at the discretion of the company that actually makes them even though I supplied pictures an hour within receiving merchandise. Even asked for credit to purchase something else and still no reply. This is a scam and nothing else. Luckily I have purchase protection and filed a claim with my bank. Such a shame.

    The material is high quality. The color accurate. The prices very affordable. Even with the video it was hard to assemble on our own. Also since we got a very huge heavy blind for a sliding door, the basic pull string doesn't hold the weight of the fabric. I didn't know to inquire about the weight. The smaller windows are beautiful and hang appropriately and the strings are great. I would have broken into two side by side coverings to cover the large space and to have hang and fold properly.

    SelectBlinds has horrible product quality - roller shades don't roll up and they call it normal, roller shades unwind crooked, shades come without all the parts. "Nothing we can do" is only answer when asked how to fix. Since they are a marketing company they are much more interested in getting you off the phone than fixing your problem. Since everything is custom made they say their policy is to not take any returns. Even for defective products!

    "Nothing we can do!" That's all you hear - they should just call it like it is - "We got your money, and we aren't giving it back, and we don't care if you are unhappy, because our marketing engine will produce more customers and we don't need our customers to be satisfied." I asked to escalate to a manager - the answer was amazing: "I'll put a request in for you to speak with a manager" - which they said would be in about a week! WOW WOW WOW. "We will be happy to help you but we won't talk to you and we won't solve your problem. By the way, did we mention we have your money and you are out of luck?"!!!

    I ordered three identical blackout shades in May of 2020. Despite their order timeline that estimates a couple weeks until they arrive (for fabrication and shipping), they didn't arrive for almost two months. When they got here, upon trying to install, I realized that they were slightly too large. This issue was on me - my window frames turned out to not be plumb from top to bottom, so they had to be remade. (All identically measured windows were all made 1/2" too wide). After emailing to get this issue corrected/replacements ordered and not getting prompt responses, I called and spoke to a representative in an attempt to expedite the correction. He stated it would be taken care of and he'd call me back with an update on arrival (since I was concerned it'd take another 2 months). I got no call back.

    I called today to get an update, and the representative said I'd need to pay for two of the three blinds because they "only offer free remakes for 1 blind", despite what their returns/exchange policy says "We also offer free remakes on "oops" orders where customers have made an error in measuring their windows" (explicitly states in the plural sense). Additionally, considering my windows were identical (only one measurement was given for all three windows), this wasn't three separate errors - it was just one. Additionally, they are attempting to charge me over $100 for each of the two blinds - which is more than I paid for my entire order of three!

    After sitting on hold to speak to a manager to (hopefully) get it straightened out, I was hung up on. There is still no resolution. I'm out a couple hundred dollars, have blinds that don't fit, and a company that won't honor their own returns/exchange policy and seems to instead have a policy of frustrating/exhausting their clients to the point of giving up, rather than "guaranteeing 100% satisfaction" - it's an utter lie.

    I wanted to buy two sets of window shades, top down, bottom up. Before I bought I called their representative to ask where the inside strings were set. Their website doesn't address this and their pictures purposely don't show this. I told her I wanted the two pairs of strings at the outsides as my current shades have them positioned 2-3 inches from each edge. I wanted to make sure they wouldn't each be 1/3 of the way into the shade. One shade is like 46 inches wide. She put me on hold and investigated this and assured me that the strings would be very close to the outside edges and nowhere near the center of the shade. I asked her to promise me that her information was factual. She assured me it was. So I ordered.

    I waited two months for the shades to come in only to find out she lied to me. And now a manager with customer service said I'm out of luck. They will not refund my over $200.

    DO NOT BUY ANYTHING FROM SELECT BLINDS CANADA! BUYER BEWARE! We recently received our first order from a company called SELECT BLINDS CANADA. We waited six weeks for it. We were excited to install it and after some difficulty we finally got it up properly. Unfortunately, it is a complete disappointment. The spring-loaded hardware that enables the blind to roll up or down was broken. So the blind has to be rolled up or down by hand which of course is unacceptable. It also has several stains on it. In addition to this, we thought we were ordering from a Canadian company. The blind arrived from San Diego California.

    We do not support American products particularly in light of the current tariff situation that is happening between the US and Canada. I called the company this morning to get the return address and request a refund. They completely refused to refund us. We are a couple of senior citizens on pensions and we cannot afford to lose over $400.00 on a piece of junk. We are extremely disappointed in our experience with Select Blinds Canada and we will never order anything from them again.

    Ordered blinds back in June, the very beginning of June. Never got them. When I order, they had an estimated ship date of the beginning of July, which wasn't a big deal as I already had blinds in the room, I was simply upgrading. A few weeks after I ordered, I received an email saying they were backorder due to COVID and would ship the end of July or sooner, and that they would keep me abreast of any further delays. Again, not a big deal.

    The estimated ship date came and went and I questioned when they would ship. I was promised they were going into production that day and would ship on August 4th. Well, August 4th came and they hadn't even begun to make them yet, so that was obviously not going to happen. So I inquired again. I was told that they wouldn't even know when they would be able to begin making them for 5-7 business days. At this point, I decided to cancel because I could get them from countless other companies in less time without being jerked around.

    The agent, Juan, then told me that I couldn't cancel because they were already in production, except he had just told me that they weren't in production yet. So he was obviously lying to prevent me from cancelling my order. When I called him out on his lie, he quickly was able to cancel my order. I understand delays, especially with today's events, and I'm not even in a rush to get them, but I cannot stand being lied to by a company. It speaks VOLUMES for their integrity and the integrity of their employees. It costs a company NOTHING to keep a customer in-the-know regarding the status of their order. Avoid this company, there are plenty of other places you can get custom blinds, for the same or better price.

No one ever did, and I was disgusted and gave up. On the one window we were able to make the sizing work on, the shade has to be weighted down because it snaps back up on its own.

Even though they claim that they have F.I.T. Guarantee for returning a blind that does not fit. I called them 5 times, every time I spoke to someone they seem to want to help and asked me all kinds of questions then they told me they will get back to me, and every single time no one did.

    I finally emailed them, they asked me for photos of the blind and measurements, so I sent them that too. This time they said they will get back to me in 1-3 business days.

The result is that unless the blinds were down all the way, the slats stacked in a lopsided fashion in tilted the blinds and lower rail. Customer service phone personnel were pleasant - but had to no authority. Email responses from customer service at the factory were terrible. For several rounds they asked for more and more photos. At the end, they said this was "a feature" without explaining why the catalog did not show "this feature". A knowledgeable person with authority to resolve the situation never called.

I was told 5-7 business days I asked to have them overnighted, she said she had to check with corporate. Really, they didn't confirm my order with me. I then asked for an update for the other 3 blinds and was told they should be shipped out the 17th. I told her that I have several emails from late May that say they are on the way. The one I received yesterday had a tracking number and had a date of July 10th. I asked to cancel and was told Corporate had to approve. Don't make the mistake I made of not listening to the others, save yourself some aggravation and shop elsewhere. Products are faulty at best.

    I was having trouble with my total bill, which would have put me over $1 what I had on my credit card. I called customer service *don't know her name* and she was excellent. At the end of the call she suggested I call and talk to a live person. I got Angel **. I can't believe how cool he was. He ended up helping me out so I could get my mini blinds. He was very thorough and patient with me, since I called up frustrated. He found my order I tried to place and came back to me a few times when I was on hold to update me, instead of just leaving me on hold for a long time. Excellent company!!!! During the pandemic, everything seems to be closed and/or it takes forever to find a live person to talk to. Not at this company!!! Angel deserves a raise.

    I have to say this is a rating of one agent in the company's Customer care department not the entire department. Stephanie worked with me for over 30 minutes to understand what was happening and then giving directions on how I might fix it. She was courteous, personable and genuinely nice during the call. Characteristics which are often lacking in Customer care today.

    She took time to send a very helpful video which really did help me understand the workings of the remote. Ultimately, I decided to close the call to give me a chance to view the video in its entirety and work with the remote. She was willing to stay on the call longer. I would prefer to speak with her next time I call because she was so patient with me. The call did not solve my problem but because of Stephanie's interactions with me and her representation of the company she works for, I'm less likely to fear a frustrating call the next go round.

    I purchased both roman shades and cellular shades from Select Blinds. 2 of the roman shades came damaged with pulls in the fabric. The cords got bunched when lifting the shades and they also did not hang nicely. When I contacted Select Blinds, they told me they would need to speak with their manufacturer and requested that I send pictures and video. They proceeded to tell me that while they knew the correct color was submitted, one of the pictures due to the flash going off showed the fabric a bit lighter so their manufacturer stated it was not the same product. I had to then wait while I was sent a swatch to take a picture next to the shades to prove that they were the same ones ordered. Select Blinds did issue a partial credit to my charge card during this time.

    When this was finally resolved, I was told I would be receiving additional funds back to my card and would have a store credit of about $115 applied to my account for further purchases. The manager told me that I would need to call in to have that credit applied. When I called in, I was informed that there was no credit. I inquired into this further and was told that the manager gave me misinformation and there would be no store credit. Between the hoop jumping and misinformation, I would never recommend using this company. We've used Blinds Galore and Blindster in the past without any issue. The only positive I will say is that our cellular blinds from them did arrive perfect.

    The product is of poor quality, the customer service is terrible and the warranty/guaranteed satisfaction is worthless. I was deceived and disappointed.

    Select Blinds is an awful company. I tried to reach out to them for guidance on an order, and after waiting for days, I basically got a non-answer to my questions. I then ordered blinds per the instructions on their website, and waited for 8 weeks for them to ship. When I get the blinds? They're too long because I allegedly clicked "outside mount" rather than "inside mount." The picture of the product shows an inside mount, and I'm confident that I selected inside mount. I reached out to customer service, and they replied basically saying "too bad." I had been using this order to test the concept in my daughter's room before outfitting the skylights throughout the rest of my house. I'll definitely be choosing a different company now.

    Dealing with this company has been a nightmare. Their "custom" blinds did not fit my window. I called them and after sending them pictures of the installed blinds twice, they told me that they were making new blinds. They told me I could donate the existing ones to Habitat or Goodwill. After a couple of weeks, I had not heard anything and called again. The rep could not believe that my order had gotten misplaced. He assured me that he was pushing it through. e said he would email me the next day.

    A week later I got an email telling me they decided that they would not make the blinds again as they feared the remake blinds would not fit. I sent an email to Select Blinds requesting my money back. They informed me they cannot give me my money back on blinds that are "custom". The Satisfaction Guarantee is worthless.

    After arguing with customer service for over 2 weeks, I have decided my only option was to take down these blinds and throw them away. Though the website and recording on the phone specifies 100% satisfaction guarantee, that is bogus. I ordered and received 2 inch faux wood blinds with the wave contour for adjustments. They were considered custom, and did fit the width of the window. With this mechanism there is no wand to tilt and it relies on the tension of the spring to control both the tilt and the lift. And they close with each raising or lowering. There is one size spring for all sizes of blind, so a narrow width window has the same amount of tension as a very large blind. That is the problem with this design. When you lower the blind to rest on the sill, it will rise, and continue to rise with each adjustment. One of my blinds seemed to like to stop about 5 inches above the sill, the other about 6 inches.

    The solution from customer service was to watch YouTube videos, as if my problem was operator error. I watched them and my blinds were not behaving as the blinds in the recording. Customer service required a video to see what my blinds were doing. I sent 3 on 3 different days as well as still photographs. In one video is shows the blinds clearly below the sill, only to rise on its own tension to well above the sill, more than the 1 inch the website recommends as normal. And then it closed again. This mechanism was not designed for my size windows. There is too much tension on the lift and no way to adjust it. Customer Service did offer to remake them, exactly as they were made the first time, but only after I had sent another video that specifically showed the blind rising on its own and stopping at 5 inches. When I asked why they needed another after I had already sent 3, they said they needed another that more specific.

    This product was defective and did not work as advertised. Be advised that this company will not take returns or issue credit even if the sold merchandise is defective. Again, after yelling at them, no screaming at them over the phone, the offer was made to have another style blind made, at a cost to me of over $100 more. Use caution is dealing with this company. My experience was only with the wave contour cordless, no tilt wand faux wood 2 inch blind. I do not recommend buying this blind.

    I ordered two blinds on May 5th and I’m currently still waiting on my order. I understand there were delays due to covid so I’m not here to talk about the long production time because I’m not quite sure how they regulate normally. I understand things happen especially during this hard time however I’ve received an email from them shortly after on the 8th that my order was in production which was false... it said, "Look forward to hearing from us once your order is shipped" so I was expecting to receive everything soon.

    After waiting for what felt like forever I went into my account to look up my order to find it wasn’t even in production yet. The expected ship date already changed three times since then. Fast forward to the 29th and the June 3rd I received two more of the SAME email literally copy and paste. Don’t send emails saying it’s in production if it is not! I’ve called customer service to directly speak to the production team and provide me proof that my order is in production. The first man I spoke with told me he would get in touch with them and email me back with proof. I never once received the email however he did provide me with good service and was very nice so it may have just been a communication issue with the team. It was when I called back the second time and spoke to a girl.

    Every time I tried to tell her what happened with my order she cut me off and talked over me. She clearly showed she doesn’t enjoy her job and could be doing other things with her time. She had told me she sent me the email with proof however yet again I haven’t received anything. This was my first purchase from them and I don’t recommend them for all that I’ve been through so far. These emails tell me I am getting my order sooner than I am and don’t like when a company lies. Please also invest in a more proficient customer service team.

    I ordered from SelectBlinds.com previously and had a good experience. Second time around, and not so good. Customer service has gone incredibly downhill. I placed my order on April 12th. Early May I contacted them to inquire since I had received no communications from them. They advised me the order was in production. A few days later, I get an email saying my item is on backorder and won't ship until June 15th at the earliest. I waited until early June to contact them again to see if the backordered item(s) were expected to arrive on time for me to receive my item around June 15th. At first the rep had no information, then when I inquired about cancelling, all of the sudden they suddenly knew info! Magic.

    I asked for a guaranteed arrival date since I had already been charged for the item nearly 2 months earlier. No guarantee. So I asked about cancelling and receiving a full refund. The rep said they would write the warehouse and let me know if it was possible. Warehouse confirmed via email that my order was cancelled with no other details provided. Next day I see a credit on my card for less than the original amount I paid. Can you believe they tried to keep the handling fee?! I had to waste more of my time to write them over the handling fee over an item they couldn't even fulfill!!! Unbelievable. I can't believe this company. I should send them a fee for holding my money for 2 months with no product to show for it!

    I ordered a bottom up/top down shade for my bathroom. The price was right so I went for it. I understood that with the COVID-19 crisis going on that it may take a bit longer and it did. I was willing to deal with that. When the item finally arrived the fit was perfect but the color was way off. I ordered "Sand". I did not order a color sample because I didn't want to add another month to my wait time but I figured it should be close enough so wasn't too worried. I WAS WRONG! While I understand that colors shown on websites can differ from when one sees them in person this wasn't even close. I could have dealt with that but the main problem was that the website clearly showed that the top and bottom rails were supposed to be the same color as the shade. They are not, they are white and do go with my bathroom AT ALL! Had the rails at least matched the shade color as advertised I would have been able to live with it.

    When I contacted the company on the phone the person I spoke with was quite polite and seemed helpful. I explained everything to him as I have here. When I mentioned the issue of the rail color being off he looked at the web page and said, "You're right!". I thought; great perhaps we can find a resolution to this relatively easily. The man told me he would escalate this to the proper department and we could fix this. That's where my optimistic hopes ended. I guess once there's no more personal interaction on the phone and they resort to the less personal email the willingness to work with you is over.

    From the very first email I could tell that they were trying to blame this all on me. I told them that I could live with the color but kept asking about the fact that the rails didn't match. They completely ignored the question. I was told that there are no refunds on custom orders. Considering that you are required to select the dimensions and colors for your product that makes every order a "Custom" order so I guess that's what you might call a loophole. They told me that if I wanted to place the exact same order they would give me 10% off. WHAT WOULD BE THE POINT OF THAT? Then I would have two shades that don't match my bathroom. When all is said and done what started out as hopefully thinking that there would be a pleasant resolution to SELECT BLINDS BASICALLY TELLING ME, "SORRY ABOUT YOUR LUCK!"

    Well it is July 3rd and today I received my blind this time with a valance. After nearly five months and basically giving up on this company they finally came through and delivered what they said they would. I give them credit for ensuring the product I ordered was delivered. The hassle of emails and calls was I suppose worth it if only to give me some revamped confidence in the company. Thank you for putting this order right and resolving a situation that I had given up on..

    I ordered a blind with a valance and received a blind without the valance. Contacted customer service immediately who requested I sent a photo of the blind which I did. Was given a new date of delivery for the correct product. Then a week or so later the blind did not arrive. I called their customer service who said they needed the order number that they already had and another photo of the number printed on the blind header. I sent this to them and they sent me another email saying wrong number but could not tell me where the other number was supposed to be. Called emailed and used online was told repeatedly that the order was through to manufacturing and would be shipped. Never arrived after contacted them over 20 times gave up. They obviously did not want to help because they literally do not care once they have your dollars.

    I purchased blinds that showed up too small. I reached out to them and told them they were too small and they sent me the same size. Since I was unable to immediately hang the new blinds I didn't know for a few weeks that they were still too small. When I reached out to customer service they told me that they were unable to replace them because it was outside the guarantee fit window. I'm not sure why they sent me the same size after I asked for larger blinds but they did and then never fixed the issue. The only option they gave me was to buy brand new blinds.

    Original Review: Ordered a blind for our door. After reading positive reviews I decided to go with Select Blinds. Ordering was easy and very informative as to what I was ordering and they seem to go the extra mile in making sure you are ordering what you actually need. Then it all went downhill. The blinds came and were flawed as they were improperly strung. It has been over Two weeks now and I am still waiting on someone from the company to get back to me. I sent photos as requested and since then nothing. Very frustrating as the blinds seem to be good quality if manufactured correctly.
