I received a call from Select Blinds customer service manager. I was offered a 50% discount on new blinds or a $400 credit. I appreciated receiving a call from management. Although we were not able to completely agree. I agreed to take the $400 credit in order to resolve the concerns. I notice that the wording in the description have change; therefore, there would be less confusion next time when ordering.

I place an order of 14 blinds in ivory. When we received them, it was not what we ordered. The material of the shade was the right color but the frame (valance and all plastic parts were yellow). We make an initial phone call on May 31, 2018. As per our conversation with the representative, he asked for pictures and pictures were forwarded immediately. He indicated that the color of the plastic appeared old and yellowish. He did not foresee any problems changing them. He was going to call us back the same day or following day.
After 4 days and no one returning a call or message. Please advise on the status of our claim. I contacted Select Blinds again and after being on hold for an hour, the associate was rude and hang up the phone on me with no assistance. The picture of the blind in the internet on their web page shows the same blind with white valance and borders (plastic parts) not yellow. I think it is false advertisement, providing a picture that differs from the items, we received. Three of the pictures show what I received and two the actual color that I was expecting.

I am very upset with Select Blinds. I ordered blinds a month ago. Got them in and they were the wrong size. I did everything they asked of me. I emailed them pictures with the measurements and they determined that they did indeed send the wrong sizes. I honestly feel I should of been refunded my money since I did not have them send me new ones.

I recently ordered 2 separate bamboo blinds from Select Blinds. One was a cord mount, and the other was a cordless mount. I am very pleased with the cord mount blind (the mounting depth is 1 1/2" and the color is great, quality is great too). It fits nicely in my old 1920's window. The other blind (cordless mount) did not fit the depth of my window at all because the mounting width is 2 1/2"!!! This was not specified on the website at all. This makes a huge difference in how far it sticks out from the window (especially older windows that have extra interior molding). I ended up having to pay for a new blind with a cord, and was told to discard of the other blind (so wasteful!). It is a shame because I thought the quality of the blinds were great, and was looking to finish the rest of my house. This was a trial run and I was not satisfied. I learned my lesson about the cordless blind with this company, but will be going to another company in the future.

Several weeks ago I ordered 2 sets of extra-wide faux wood blinds for our sliding glass doors. The valances provided, which are supposed to attach with magnets, keep falling down. Our dog now barks at us every time we touch the blinds because he thinks something is going to fall on him! I requested replacement valances that attach with hooks - I can't tell if the problem is the many dents in these extra-wide headrails, which may keep the magnets from attaching securely, or just that the magnets are too weak to hold these wide, heavy valances. Over the past month their customer service has promised to send replacement valances twice. We have not received any replacements, and their customer service has now stopped responding to my emails and web inquiries. They should supply valances that attach with hooks for extra-wide blinds.

Select Blinds have resolved my issues and followed up multiple times to make the situation right. They seem to care but are overwhelmed at times it seems. Thank you for fixing the problems.
Original Review: April 25, 2018
Blind valances came in cut wrong, missing pieces and one blind did not work. The customer service is non-existent. If you call and hold they never pick up. If you choose to have a call back they never call back. When you email them it takes them over 24 hours to return an email. The more info you provide them the more hoops you have to jump through until you give up. Save yourself the hassle and buy your blinds locally.
I sent pictures then they wanted a video. A video of the blinds not working. It is no different than the picture. I told them they could pick up the blind and replace it. No they want me take get a video recorder and record myself trying to pull on the blind and mail it to them. That is crazy. They now offer the same blinds today with 40% off plus an additional 20% off. I just wanted a problem fixed but it goes on day after day because you cannot talk to them on the phone even though they provide a phone number and it literally takes 24 hours per response. Please send call tags to pick up all the blinds and issue me a full refund. I should have just bought locally.

I ordered last night. Realized I messed up and am trying to get in contact with someone to correct. The 1-888 number says they are closed and open at 6 am mountain time. It is after 6. Still has same closed message. Tried the 480-302-5113. Was only able to leave message. I was going to buy at least 5 more sets of blinds from here but not anymore since I cannot get a hold of anyone.

I ordered from the site last night 4/11/17 at 10 PM. I had a change of mind and decided to cancel it but I could not cancel it that night. Since I could not reach anyone there after hours and their website cancel order does not work and ask me to contact them directly. I tried to cancel it the morning at 10 AM via their chat page but their chat page goes nowhere and I just received an email that they will get back to me within 24 to 48 hours. They have a policy on their webpage that said that they have a hold time of 24 hours before they process the order just in case you might want to change something on your order.
So when I called their customer service around 12:20 PM and ask for the cancelation they said that they will check if they can still cancel it since they've already send it in production at 2 AM. They will get back to me within 24 hours to see if they're able to cancel it. By that time I would expect that they can't cancel it anymore since it's already passed the 24 hour window. They also said that my order does not qualify for the 24 hour hold since it's a 1 to 3 day order production shipping. When I checked my email it says there that the expected shipping date is 4/16 which is 5 days from the day I purchased it on 4/11. They are scamming their buyers so you can't issue a refund or charge you with a restocking fee for cancelling your order.

I ordered 2 honeycomb blackout/light filtering shades. They both do not close properly, sag and are inconsistent. The shades also came with hardware that did not match what was on the website. The mounting brackets are visible and look tacky, we wouldn't have ordered them if we knew you could the mounting bracket.Contacted them immediately via chat, and was told about an oops policy. If I wanted I could get 50% off of a replacement. We don't want a replacement. We simply want a refund.

When I order something that is 31", and you send me 33" this is already wrong. To fight me when I complain to PayPal after you didn`t reply properly, and to reply once on a Saturday holiday wknd phone call, and never hear from email/phone again is poor c/s. The customer service person was `Brodie.` I keep getting told I measured wrong. When I order an apple, I expect an apple not an orange. I order 31" and get 33", this is not an `allowance`. Then I am told `don`t count the outer frame of the arch` which ADDS another 4+ inches anyway to 37". I order 31, I expect 31. And having had multiple orders prior, you would think they would correct it right away. They fought me w/PayPal, and are hiding. All I want is a refund. I order 31" clearly on my receipt, I get 33" and am told I`m wrong.
I did not order 33" as is clear in my pic. I ordered 31". This is the WRONG size and I am getting nowhere with what I thought was a reputable company. Select Blinds - you need to refund this order at once and if you want the item back send a UPS/FDX call tag, b/c I already had a more reputable company attend to it.I ordered 31" and you can see in the pic the item is 33" WITHOUT an outer frame and 37"+ with outer frame clearly wrong, clearly not what I ordered and yet you choose to fight me, give runaround answers, fight w/PayPal and keep claiming it`s a `custom order` and not refundable. Great it`s `custom` but YOU sent it wrong.
In addition, this Arch product is made in China, not Texas as they claim. It is a case goods product that they may start out with and cut down but they didn`t cut it down. The BOX says 33". The measurement says 33", my order says 31". If I order a blue car and get a red one, you can`t tell me it`s custom too bad. You need to refund and let the customer go.
Beware - This is MADE IN CHINA boxed product, not as custom as they claim, and I will make it my mission to get this corrected and publicized any way I can whether online or in person at their facility in Mesa. All they have to do is refund it at once and let the client go. They are misleading, providing false advertising and promises and trying to dodge their responsibility. All they need to do is let a regular client get his due refund for THEIR mistake, yet they risk consequences for a $184 order it doesn`t make send to me.
SO Brodie, and team, especially Brodie - step up to the plate now please, issue the refund and this goes away. I was told by email that if the measurement is `more than 32" in a picture` they will issue a refund. I sent the 33 & 37" picture, and still they fought PayPal and didn`t refund. So not only did they do all the above, they also reneged on their offer. In addition, why would the standard be 32", 1" more than ordered? That would still be a mistake on Select Blinds' part.I order 31, get 33, get an email to show 32 and show 33 yet still a fight w/PayPal and fight w/me and very few if any replies. BRODIE BRODIE BRODIE and company - step up and do whats right, not whats wrong and risky.

The day after I posted this review Brodie from Select Blinds reached out to me and offered me a few options as to how this situation can best be rectified. He was very courteous, articulate and provided me with reasonable options. I was able to think about the offer that suited us the most. I gave Select Blinds one star at the time of this review but am now upgrading my review to four stars. Select Blinds definitely wants to make sure their customers are pleased. I would order from Select Blinds again in the future and I will continue to recommend Select Blinds to family and friends in light of Brodie's assistance and prompt attention to this matter and Select Blinds' attention to delivering excellent customer service.

Select Blinds shipped defective blinds for my kids bedroom. The blind is a combination of a blackout shade attached to a privacy shade. Select Blinds combined shades that were different sizes and as a result one shade bulges out over the other and there is a lack of consistency. (The depth of the blackout shade is different than the depth of the privacy shade.) All the online photos reflect the same depth when they two shades are combined. I emailed them about this problem however they refuse to fix the problem saying I can reorder shades under the oops policy and get 50% off my new order.

I ordered blinds for our new windows in January. When they were a week late I contacted them and was told there was a delay because of weather. Another could of weeks pass and I am told they had a delay getting materials but they would ship the next week. Another couple of weeks and they guaranteed they would ship the next week. And so on and so on. Now it is April before anything could ship. I said I would take a substitution and suggested something which appeared to have all the same features but a different profile. They said I would owe them $630.
If they were honest in the beginning and offered me a substitution with no additional charge I would be fine but instead I got the constant delays and misinformation (always promising next week). They had a chance to keep me as a happy customer and failed. I requested they elevate it to a higher authority and do it via email, but instead they had a customer service agent call again. They are not communicating properly and not taking ownership for their mistakes.

When I attempted to cancel my order due to the window depth not being correct, I contacted customer service and was told I would receive a cancellation confirmation the next day. I never heard anything so emailed the day after and was told my blinds had already been made and so the order could not be cancelled. Believe it or not, they then offered to sell me more blinds! What a joke.

Needed blinds to complete a house renovation, ordered 8 blinds on 2/6/2018 and received an email stating that some of my blinds would be on backorder until 2/14/2018. Date for backorder passed and no update email or change in status on their website. Went to online help and was told that they were in production, still no status change on website. Waited another week and called, was told that they needed to contact the factory to expedite the order and they would call me back, I was never contacted.
Contacted the company a 3rd time and was told that backordered materials were received and that my blind would be shipping in 3 days, still no status change on website, however I was emailed on 03/16/18 stating that my blinds would be on backorder till 04/01/18. They said that one of their trucks was in a bad storm and the materials were lost. I have ordered and received blinds from this company in the past, but this order has been a nightmare.

I was glad that Select Blinds reached out to me within 24 hrs after I wrote this review. Additionally, Brodie, the Sales Rep that called me, apologized for the inconvenience and was willing to make amends with me as a customer. He offered to upgrade my blinds at no cost, additionally he was going to refund my money from previous order. He created the order for new blinds to be delivered within 7-10 business days and I already received confirmation via email of that order. If this comes true, I will be a very happy customer and will continue to do business with them again.

Ordered 15 blinds on 2/22/2018 to replace the old ones and add a nicer look to my current home since I am trying to get my house listed to sell. The same day I received an email that stated the blinds could be delivered within 5 business days and that when the order was shipped I was going to get a confirmation email. A week and a half passed and no email or confirmation was received. Then, I called their customer service number, after waiting for 15 min, I got through someone, I was told, I was going to get a confirmation email within a day or so, and that the order was ready. A week passed no email. Then, I called again. Second time, they told me that their shipment of materials were in a shipwreck and half of my order was going to be backordered and the rest of the blinds should be shipped to me in a few days.
In addition, since I had been waiting for my blinds at this point for over 3 weeks, and my home was exposed to the neighborhood (replaced windows in the house no blinds or curtains) they would send some free shades for the ones backordered blinds. A week passed nothing. Then I called again, told the whole order was backordered, no free shades either, although note existed on file. I was given an option to upgrade to another vendor to get the order sooner for a price increase (aprox $20 per blind, total of $300). Then, at that point, I had it. I asked to cancel the order, was asked to be put on hold again for the third time in this phone call, so I asked just call me back since I was at work. Big mistake. No one called me back. I tried calling back and leaving my phone number later that day, nothing. I am very disappointed with this company. I will be cancelling, buying local from now on. I would give it zero stars.

I am a long-retired aerospace systems engineer who just helped my daughter (Google "KleinDance Arts") by researching, ordering and installing the blackout roller shades in the nine big windows of her new commercial dance/etc. studio in Santa Maria CA. Much effort, including bids from local specialists and from Home Depot, led me to looking online. We could not be more satisfied in all areas with Select Blinds as our choice to get blinds! Order and delivery was within THREE DAYS!!?? The 9 shades arrived! Drilling into the aluminum frames to install fasteners was easy once you know how (Google that for guidance). I am now an EXPERT, and quick, installer! Do-it-yourself is fun and simple, even if you are not "A Rocket Scientist!"
RECOMMENDATIONS: Could give links to installing on frames that are narrow depth, narrow width, also on drilling into metal frames. Oh - Should have a short continuous chain loop up out of reach of children, rather than a long loop with stops to not be continuous. I am being sent the capability to have such a loop! Thanks.

Problem solved after working with customer service.
Original Review: Feb. 21, 2018
When shopping for shades and blinds, consumers are overwhelmed with the amount of options on manufacturers websites. As we keep clicking and looking for options, the names don't help and you can easily get tricked. I felt for this, as shopping for blackout shades on Select Blinds and with related products and similar products, I ended up on this one "Premier Double Cell Light Filtering TriShades". Product images showed clearly a blackout window with a light filtering options, I was sold as the additional benefit of light filtering with a blackout was exactly what I was looking for. Product arrived and nothing related to the product images on the website I bought. The light filtering is the main shade and the additional shade is almost transparent. Reached out to customer support to hear they can offer me an "Oops" promotional code to buy another shade if I want to get right this time and that they don't accept returns.
Terrible customer service, fake website images but the overall product quality is good. So be sure to understand your product and don't get overwhelmed with the amount of products, spend 4hrs shopping for your shades and don't rely on their customer support. If you're buying shades for an entire house, I would not recommend this place as the chances you will need support is high and you won't get any.
Thank you for taking the time to work with me, and I'm happy we could resolve your issue. Please don't hesitate to contact me if you have additional questions.

Select Blinds reached out to me to resolve this. They sent me new blinds which were cut a bit smaller and that did the trick. Very happy with their responsiveness.
Original Review: Feb. 11, 2018
I bought 4 roller shades, which seems simple enough. They were incredibly difficult to install as they were very very tight with the hardware (I measured twice before buying and again to see if my measurements were off -- they weren't, I think they were just cut a bit too wide). And impossible to remove without breaking given how tightly they were jammed in. The tension is a joke and still doesn't work even after following the instructions to resolve. I would definitely not order again.

I ordered 2" American Hardwood Wood Blinds for my living and dining rooms, and they look fantastic. Select Blinds was able to accommodate my very wide (98 1/4") living room window with just one blind - which is exactly what I wanted. I was also thrilled that I could add tape/ribbon to the blinds. The installation was easy, and the blinds fit perfectly. Plus, the delivery was faster than I expected, with the blinds arriving in just a few days. I would definitely order from Select Blinds again.

Dealing with this company is a joke. Sent full order 16 blinds back over the process of 1.5 years dealing with the issue. Sent them videos of blinds. They admitted default. Finally, said they would refund me $$. In the nearing end they would not. Ly new guy on scene says nope not refunding, but will remake them for the third time. And Michael (Customer Service Manager) said that I could "not afford" to buy the new quality he is now sending out to me. Did he assume that since I bought the economical ones first? Rude. Spend hours throughout the past 1.5 years dealing with this company. Yes my blood pressure is up! Will never recommend or buy from them again.

I ordered roller shades. Phone and email communication was slow and inaccurate. Sales clerk on the phone used in-house terms for delayed ordering, etc. and was unclear on how to measure for window covering size. The website is also unclear on how to measure. The blinds arrived (late) and were not wide enough, and would not roll up after being pulled down gently. No clear installation instructions. I called to find out how to return the shades... On hold forever and they haven't called back for 2 days. Emailed... And no response 2 days. Do not order from them!

Seriously the worst! If you have a simple project, they're okay. But if you have something complex, their instructions are inaccurate and they refuse to be accountable for misleading information. A complex problem gets moved over to email, and they take four days to respond with a cut a paste reiteration of what they already said. Customer services seem to have no understanding of how their own hardware works or what their measurement instructions entail. I just wasted almost $700 here.

I ordered woven wooden shades from Select Blinds back in September. I was debating between cordless lift and motorized. Before making my decision, I asked their customer service rep how long the battery life lasts on motorized blinds. I was told approximately 1 year. Given that information, I went ahead and paid extra for the motorized blinds. However, once they arrived they stopped working within one month. I was told by their tech team to replace the batteries and see if that works. They had to be lithium batteries and each blind takes 8 batteries. We have 11 motorized blinds in our house so that cost about $200 to replace all of the batteries.
One month later, they were dead again and 1 had twisted the motorized cord up and cut into it (pictured here). I called Select Blinds and they replaced them for the cordless, and I am very grateful for that. However, they refuse to reimburse me for the difference in price, which is around $4,000 extra for motorized vs cordless. Not only are we out that extra money, but we had to buy batteries twice ($400) and now pay a professional person to come install again ($250) since the set up is different. Overall they are quick to respond and are seemingly helpful but I am completely shocked they will not reimburse us for the difference, seeing as the motorized blinds would not work properly. I would never had ordered motorized if I had known they would die each month and I am quite upset since I was given false information when ordering which in turn has cost us an extra $4600. I would avoid this company or 100% do not order motorized blinds from them.

My first set of blinds arrived with one broken valance. No issues with Select Blinds to replace it. The second came and that was broken, too (the USP for sure both times) and again, SB replaced them without issue. After all 6 blinds were installed and only months later did I discover two blinds were too short to flip up properly. I called them, sent a short video proving that they were missing a few slats and on the same day, SB rectified it with confirming that two replacements will be sent out asap. Great product. Great company. Great prices and great customer service topped with a company standing behind their products. BTW I ordered 6 more blinds for my other home. Did I mention how well they are made?

The blind itself is fine but a single 35" blind has FOUR cords on ONE side?? It looks awful. Very cluttered. I ordered blinds from Home Depot and all of them - regardless of width - have only 1 cord. I had to order from Select Blinds to get a custom (shorter) length. I would return these if I could. They are very unattractive and not as pictured. Yes, you can get them cordless but my other corded blinds only have ONE cord (to raise/lower). These will tangle easily and just look BAD. I'm embarrassed to hang them but I can't return them and I can't afford to throw them away. VERY dissatisfied.

I have used Select Blinds.com for several years and have purchased over 100 blinds for 6 houses. I have never had any of the problems described by other reviews. They have always honored their warranty and the blinds have always fit, with the exception of when I gave the wrong measurements. They promptly send me new shades the correct size. I have also referred many of my friends and clients to them also. Never had any bad feedback.

I have tried calling Customer Service 4 times and each time on hold for over 20 minutes (due to incredibly high call volume regardless of time of day). When asked to put in my callback number, I did and never received the callback. I had an issue with an order and could not get help! I tried live chat and said they would look at my order and email me an update. Never received the email. It has now been a month that they charged me for 2 custom blinds that haven’t been sent. Do not buy from them. Horrible customer service. If you have issues with your order, you are out of luck because you simply cannot get ahold of anyone to help.

During the purchase of 8 faux woods blinds for the house the contact person I had misunderstanding about the time allowed to change some of the purchase as I had not received my samples. When I got the samples I contacted Select Blinds to find out the blinds had already been sent to me. At that point I was quite perplexed. But after they reviewed the phone call they completely stood by my order and are sending 2 new blinds at no cost to me and the 2 I have are mine to keep! The salesperson was named D.J. and he was very helpful and kind. The extension number to contact him is **!! They were very understanding and accommodating.

I purchased two shutters for large windows last year - they looked good and were easy to install. Therefore, I purchased two more shutters for my boys' rooms - same size windows in each room. The first shutters fit great even though the T-frame angle in the top left corner was a little off. Overall-good. I then go to install the second shutter - this is when my problems started. The shutter frame barely fit within the frame - there was no play like all other shutters that I installed. Further, the white piece of wood that goes between the frame behind the shutter was too long. This was my first indication that these shutters were not made to the size I requested.
I installed the shutters and the top fit, but when all four panels of the shutters were installed they were too big and could not be shut. Please remember there is no play in the frame to adjust this. I installed the shutters Sunday night so I had to wait until Monday morning (November 13, 2017) to call. I called first thing in the morning and waited on hold for over half an hour. When I finally got through to a representative I was told she didn't work on shutter and someone would call me back that day - a week later now Saturday November 18th and I have never received a callback. In addition, to calling I also sent an email message on Monday November 13th.
On Wednesday November 15th I received my first response. I was assured that the mistake would be corrected but they needed to confirm that the measurement was correct. So, I immediately sent them a message showing that the length was 71 inches as indicated in my order and I also sent them a picture of how the shutters did not fit and further sent them my original order details. No response until FRIDAY November 17th. At this point then send me a video on how to rack the shutters. This requires movement of the underlying frame which I cannot do because there is no play in the frame AT ALL.
So now I am absolutely disgusted. A week after installation and no return phone call - my son cannot sleep because he does not have shutters that fit properly and we took down the coverings we previously had. At this point, they haven't even shipped me the new shutters that was promised. Based on my experience to date I will not recommend this company.

Received an order of 5 cellular shades. Good fit, right color, but missing necessary click-mount installation hardware for one of them - not a big problem to resolve at all... Not until I tried to make contact. I called four times over this past weekend with similar results each time: "all agents are busy", initial wait time announced as under 2 minutes. After waiting over 15 mins, I was then was told the wait time was now more than ten minutes. They requested my number for an automatic call back, but that never happened. I called three more times over the weekend, same results each time. So, I called again mid-day on Monday, but sadly observed the same exact pattern.
In addition to all of that, I attempted to connect with an online rep via chat, but that came back as "postmaster undelivered" not once but three times. Apparently they have no interest in establishing communication with customers after the sale, nor helping to resolve the mistakes they made. Happy with the quality of the product, EXTREMELY disappointed with the complete lack of attention to detail, to customer relations, and to tuning their automated communication equipment to set realistic expectations. We live in a so-called service-oriented society, so in order to remain relevant companies must focus on the service. Just send me the parts, please.

You want to pay more for a bit more custom features, however you can probably get the similar blinds at BLINDS.CA at a third of the price. I purchased the premium faux wood. THE PROMOTION THEY HAVE IS A MARKETING SALES TACTIC TO ENTICE YOU. Blinds.Ca is half or less the price without the sale! There may be other blinds companies that have better prices. You must have 3" or more in depth if you want inside mount otherwise the valances are too short and gaps can be seen on both sides. They state: Minimum mounting space for inside mount 1 1/8". Flush mounting space required for inside mount 3".
They advise to always use the smallest measurements of the top, middle and bottom of the window to guarantee fit. Beware if the measurements for your window is uneven and you want the inside mount, measure the top and note how long you want the valances to ensure there is no gaps where you can see the window or metal brackets. (The short length makes it look so cheap and ill-fitted.) They asked for many photos and then kept insisting that the blinds fit. They wanted to charge extra for new set of longer valances.
DO NOT get No Holes Privacy unless you like to adjust the wood slates every time you open, close or tilt the blinds. The Faux wood is so light that they get caught on the unbound threads and you will need to manually fit each notch in place. If you have tall windows expect to bring out a step or mini ladder. If you also think the No Holes Privacy will block out more light, it doesn't make much of a difference. Valances are also magnetically attached to the metal bracket. Beware if you slightly touch the valance it comes falling down on your head! I had small dents on one of the blinds that I received and they basically ignored that and didn't send any replacements because I wanted to return one pair of blinds because the 1" Faux wood blinds stuck out too far past the window sill.
You would still need 3" for the brackets to be inset or flushed. I went to BLINDS.CA and order a pair of 1" aluminum blinds and their brackets were perfect! Their price $56 (not on sale) compare to Select Blinds at $126 (on sale)! I bought from Select Blinds based on the customer service review and satisfaction. Yes they were very helpful when I was buying blinds. After the purchase, nothing... just emails back and forth. Waste of my time. I RECOMMEND THAT YOU ORDER ONE BLIND TO SEE HOW IT LOOKS RATHER THAN ORDERING ALL. Please check out other blind companies before you fall into their marketing sales trap.
I am sorry for all of the trouble that you are having but there may be some confusion. We are not Select Blinds Canada, and other than the name we have very little affiliation with them. If you need assistance from them please give them a call directly at 888-685-1735. Please reach out if you need any further assistance. We are happy to help.

The experience you will have with Select Blinds will depend on if they manage to get your order right the first time. I made one order consisting of one "top down/bottom up" double-cell cellular and 3 blackout double-cell cellular. When my blinds arrived, I was disappointed to see they sent the wrong color for the 3 blackout shades. I literally spent over an hour on hold waiting to speak to someone. I finally get a representative on the line and they sent me 3 new shades after sending them pictures to prove my complaint.
Once I received the replacements and installing them, I had to spend time learning how to adjust the up/down blind because it was hanging at an angle. I was also not happy with the hardware mounts Select Blinds uses as they keep the blinds sticking out more than other manufacturers. This was a problem to me because I was mounting them inside my window frames and wanted them to be as flush as possible. I accepted this as a "it is what it is" thing and did not make any complaints as I already mounted them and there is really not much that could be done besides purchasing new blinds somewhere else.
Less than a year in, I notice one of the three blackout shades cellular structure is falling apart. I called their support, again on hold for a very long time and I talk to a very nice representative that told me they are getting lots of shades falling apart due to the adhesive used on them letting go under the hotter temperatures. I did not enjoy hearing this but again, "it is what is" so they send me a new replacement after providing a picture as proof via email. The new blind was crooked when mounted and I had to align it. Thankfully, I learned the first time I did this and it did not take long. About a month or two later, I notice a second blackout blind failing so I call them and they again very quickly send me a replacement. At this point I am sure that is is just a matter of time before the 3rd one fails.
About another month passed and what I was expecting happens - the 3rd blind started to fall apart. I call them again and get a replacement. This time around the replacement they sent me is not the same tone/shade/dye as the blinds they previously sent me. I was really disappointed and I call them again and sent them picture with proof of the issue. They said someone would get back to me and once I finally got a email response from them they were stating that the dye is correct and they will not correct the issue. I tried calling on multiple more occasions but I did not get any resolution. Attached is the same picture I sent Select Blinds. As you all can see, The middle blind is noticeably lighter than the two blinds surrounding it and the only thing I can do about it is to buy new blinds elsewhere. Select Blinds is not backing their product under warranty.

On Sunday, July 16, 2017, I tried to contact Select Blinds by phone with a few questions about their motorized window shades. The website specified that personnel were available until 6 pm PST. I was calling from the East Coast at 8:15 pm local, but got a recorded message with the hours of operation. Turned out they are actually in the Mountain Time Zone, which if I had known would have stopped me from trying to call. So I went to the contact page on the website and filled out an online form, and submitted it. A few minutes later I received an email stating "Please note this mailbox is unmonitored. If you are need of assistance, please send your request to customercare@selectblinds.com"
So I sent an email to the supplied link, and soon received the automated reply that I would have a response in 24 to 48 hours. After 48 hours had passed I sent a second email. These messages contained the questions I had wanted to ask Sunday. On Wednesday, July 19, I received an email that did not really answer one of the questions, so I replied to it with such a response. An hour later I received a call from Mike at Select Blinds. As I couldn't speak right then I asked him to call back in a few minutes. 30 minutes later Mike called again. Now things got accomplished. All of my questions were answered, as well as a few extra that weren't in the emails. When I explained what I had experienced up until then, Mike apologized for my inconvenience.
Since I now had all the information I needed, I ordered the shades through Mike. He asked pertinent questions during the ordering about options I wanted. Before the transaction was finished Mike extended the limited warranty to 5 years from 3 years as recompense for the problems I had experienced. Mike also included the extra discount that had expired during the wait. He then explained everything I should expect up to, and including, delivery. Yes, there was quite a bit of frustration from the website, but Mike more than made up for that. His knowledge and professional demeanor made the phone call a pleasure rather than a chore. If you plan on buying shades or blinds, I can sincerely recommend Select. But, until they get the glitches out of the website, you should call and talk to Mike.

Dealing with various customer service representatives in obtaining samples and overall question support has been an easy and frustration-free experience. The reps are knowledgeable, polite, and do make an effort to help the purchase of the blinds easy. If the blinds arrive and are good as Select Blind's customer service staff, then this company is a keeper. Congratulations to whoever hires and trains the customer service reps.

I ordered one blackout pull shade for my daughter and in spite of their advertisement that they only take 5-7 days we did not receive our order for 18 days! I repeatedly tried to contact the company and never was able to talk to a person. I stayed on the phone on hold for up to 25 minutes one time and still couldn't get a live person. I couldn't track the order and finally had to do a live chat where they told me there was a delay. Because it took so long to get it we were unable to help our daughter install it as it came the day we left! To their credit they did reduce the price by 10% but I would have much rather helped my daughter and paid full price then get a discount for poor service.

I purchased Cassette Roller Shades from Select Blinds two months ago and ever since then dealing with these defective shades has become a part-time job. The shades I purchased do not roll up, and the width is incorrect. The website stresses that you should provide exact measurements of the inside of the window frame, which I did. Because the manufacturer did not leave a small space for the blinds to fit inside the window frame (which they do on all other shades as it is customary in the industry) the shades have to squeezed inside the frame. Even if the shades were the proper width, they were very difficult to install. I had to hire someone to help me screw in the brackets into the frame.
After weeks of attempting to install these blinds, I discovered that the roller blind is defective. It simply will not roll up on two of the blinds. Contacting customer service is a very difficult process. You cannot phone them to talk about an existing order (if you attempt to do so, you will get a recording to that effect). When you attempt to live chat, the person on the chat tells you to email select blinds. When you email them, it takes several days to receive a real response (that is not auto-generated). When I finally did hear from them, they told me to send them a photo of the problem. I responded with a question as to how I am supposed to photograph a shade that will not roll up? They then asked me to send them a video portrayal (seriously!). So I shot a video of me attempting to roll up the shades and emailed it to them (not an easy process as I am not a technology wiz.
After several days, they responded by telling me to watch a YouTube video about how to adjust the tension. So I watched it and followed their instructions. It did nothing. The shades still will not roll up. So I emailed them again and they asked me to send them a video of the problem (again!) At this point I was getting very annoyed. I sent it again and they told me to watch the video again. After about 15 emails we finally established that I had sent them the video AND watched the YouTube video and that did not help. They finally said that I could they could send me new shades at no cost that would have the exact same dimensions. At that point I told them about the additional problem with the width. They then said that if I want a different width I have to repurchase the shades at 50% cost.
When I objected that it was not my fault the width was wrong, they said I could get a store credit but would have to return the defective shades. When I responded with a question as to how to return the shades, I received no further response. That was over one week ago. I have finally decided to give up as this is really beginning to affect my personal well being. I have come to accept that I will simply have to forfeit the $240 I spent on these blinds or face further aggravation. It has been so incredibly frustrating dealing with this company. I am going to buy shades from another manufacturer and try to forget about my awful experience with Select Blinds.

They finally refunded my money after multiple chats, phone calls, emails, a Consumer's affairs complaint, a Better Business Bureau complaint, lots of headache and almost a month.
I've purchased blinds from them before, they were good quality and worked. This is the first defective set that I have received and going through their return/exchange process is very difficult. They will question everything and fight you on the return or exchange of a defective product.
Even though I've received good blinds from them before, I still do not recommend selectblinds.com and will not purchase from them again. I would be afraid of getting a defective product and having to go through this experience again. I hope they take this review serious, as they can learn from this to improve their customer service so that others do not have to go through this.

I ordered blackout shades from the Select Blinds website, carefully measuring the width and length, and paying attention to their somewhat idiosyncratic instructions. Four days after I ordered them, I was sent an email telling me that their "supplier" did not make those blinds in that size and that it was a mistake for them to offer that option. I called back to cancel the order and was assured by the customer service rep that he did. Weeks passed without a credit, and I called back again. Again, I was assured that a credit was forthcoming. Less patient, I waited just another week for the credit, no credit forthcoming. This little routine happened several times until I lost patience and went through my credit card issuer. That works, but you have to line up the documentation, including all of the emails and records of all the phone conversations. You shouldn't have to do that because Select Blinds had inaccurate information on their website.

All of the headrails for my 2" Faux wood blinds were cut shorter than the actual blinds. I reached out to them and they are less than understanding. They tried to tell me that they have to be shorter than the opening to fit, which I understand. The issue is they are shorter than the blinds themselves, which must also be cut shorter to fit the opening which I understand. The problem is the headrail is shorter than everything, so it looks stupid installed. Now they want me to provide photographic proof that they are short, which I have done. Not sure why I would lie about this though. The blinds themselves are correctly sized, so if the headrails had been cut the same size this would be a non-issue.

Worst service and product ever. Ordered Faux Wood blinds. They arrived with absolutely no instructions. No biggie, we installed them and they fit the window fine. HOWEVER, they are supposed to be cordless, tilt to open blinds. Problem is, you have to pull the blind down past the window sill to get them to open and then as soon as you put the bottom of the blind back in the window sill they close! Essentially, these blinds are worthless. They won't stay open. The quality is also atrocious. This is simply plastic - not faux wood. It doesn't even look like faux wood.
So I call their Customer Service - no easy feat and was told there was nothing they could do and that the blinds weren't returnable because they were custom (what blinds aren't custom). When I asked what I was to do with blinds that didn't stay open, they actually told me I should just donate the blinds instead of just throwing them away. This is simply a sham to get a couple of hundred dollars for something that is simply not what they advertise, not of good quality and to add insult to injury, the product doesn't work. Do not buy from these people. This is not an ethical company.

I had ordered blinds from Select Blinds years ago without any problem. This time I ordered new faux wood blinds for my kitchen and plastic vertical blinds for my bedroom. The box with the verticals arrived in terrible condition due to carrier mishandling, and all the slats and the valance were cracked and I called Select Blinds to replace the order. It took forever to get through to Customer Service. You have to wait hours before you get someone to get back to you so I used their online "chat" which also didn't seem to be available, or I got constant updates as to when an agent would be available and instead of the time span going down it was going up, so I had to wait longer. I had to call them a few times to find out the status of my replacement blinds and commented that as the blinds were damaged my order should be a priority. They assured me it was but in actuality it still took 1 1/2 weeks to replace them.
I also called them twice to see when my blinds would be delivered and was told by the agent that he would email me with that information the next day, which he didn't. I then called back and that agent seemed to have the information immediately. The original order was also missing the brackets for the valance and have absolutely no instructions as how to hang them, so I had to hire a handyman to put them up. My two main complaints are that they are very short staffed in the customer service department and should hire a few more people if their volume is so large. Also, instructions on how to hang the vertical blinds or any blinds should be in every order but they weren't in either the original or the replacement blinds. I don't think I will order from Select Blinds again because if there is a problem it seems to take forever to get it resolved.

But they look really good and I love the fact that I can have too much natural light with the top down, yet still have the privacy I want.

Then I was sent replacements blinds, TWICE. All were also bent.

We ordered the arctic white. According to a sales rep we talked to on the phone, it's the brightest white. We received the blinds today and these are more vanilla than arctic white. Very disappointed with the experience with Select Blinds. They offered to send me the color samples to arrive 3 days later to determine if I was sent the proper color. This defeats the purpose of ordering online to expedite the whole process for semi-instant gratification. Now, the kicker is that I was told if this was the correct arctic white (more warm than arctic), then we have to pay another 50% to correct the issue. So much for customer satisfaction. I would definitely order from competitors that have non-deceptive and accurately named colors.

The blinds did not have the pre-drilled holes they were suppose to have. We had to do that and it caused a pull in the fabric. The instructions were poor and L brackets were so big they show above the blinds. Further, the screws were of so low a quality they stripped during installation and we had to purchase higher quality mid-project. All-in-all installation was a nightmare that took hours. One good thing I can say is the fabric quality is good.

I contacted select blinds and requested samples, several samples on two different occasions, which were shipped free of charge. Later, when I placed an order, the rep (Brittney ** ) was courtesy and professional. I received a follow up email that same day. And also when it was discovered there was a delay on the fabric I wanted, they gave me a date when the fabric would be in and since I ordered ahead of time it was no problem for me. I also received an email when the shade were shipped out. I was also told to inspect each blind and if there was a problem, I could return them within 10 days (of their arrival), even if the mistake was in my measurements and receive replacements if needed. They were all made exactly as described and the quality exceeded my expectations. I am not associated with this company or anyone who works for or with them.

I ordered blinds from Select Blinds on December 7th. A person named Danielle ***** took my order. Select Blinds immediately charged my credit card. She claimed that she would send me an e-mail with contact information and status verification. After receiving no communication, I called and Ms. ***** and she told me that she had made a typo in my e-mail address and would send me another e-mail with the information and her e-mail in case there was a problem. I still received no communication.
On December 12th, I finally got through to a Representative named "Jose". He said that they had sent me five e-mails. He claimed that he would ask the IT department about the problem as to why I did not receive any e-mail and that he would call me that evening or the next day. He stated that their e-mail sometimes end up in their customers junk e-mail box. Good to know! "Jose" said that my blinds were still in production and that he did not have the status of my order. "Jose" never called back. I decided, after not being able to communicate with the company and/or to find out the status of my order that things seemed somewhat suspicious and canceled my order on 12-12-2010 through their e-mail system as directed.
I also called and left a message on their answering machine as a follow-up to the cancellation of my order. I sent an email asking for confirmation of my cancellation. After receiving no response I sent a second e-mail asking for either an email or phone call confirming my cancellation. As of 12-22-2010, I have received no communication from Select Blinds. I also contacted my credit card company and placed an investigation of the charge. I am waiting on a response to the inquiry.
On 12-23-2010, after eleven days of no communication with Select Blinds,and having already cancelled my order, FedEx delivered the blinds. I promptly refused delivery. FedEx marked the delivery as "Refused by recipient - Not ordered". After sixteen days of not being able to track my delivery and three times being told by Select Blinds that they had no information on the status of my blinds, FedEx gave me tracking numbers for the shipment that I refused.
