Measurement

Once you decide on a product or products you want to buy at Blinds.com, you will need to enter your window’s measurements so you can get a correctly sized product. You can either measure your windows yourself using the website’s step-by-step guide, or you can book a professional to ensure exact measurements so that your new window dressings fit perfectly.

One benefit for customers is that the company backs its work with a satisfaction guarantee. In the scenario that the products you purchase do not fit your windows, Blinds.com will replace your ill-fitting blinds or shades for free under its SureFit™ guarantee.

Installation

Blinds.com provides two installation options. You can either perform the installation yourself or have your window dressings professionally installed. If you are interested in having a professional complete your installation, all you need to do is enter your address on Blinds.com.

The website shows you the experienced service providers in your area who are available to complete the job.

Blinds.com Cost

The cost to fit your particular windows with the product of your choice will vary by the size of your windows and the product specifications.

You can go through the process on Blinds.com of picking out products and configuring your window treatments by selecting all the various options you want, including colors, prints, sizes, and lift controls. This will give you an estimated cost—including shipping (which is generally free)—specific to your project.

Comparing the prices on Blinds.com to similar sites shows that Blinds.com offers competitive pricing on its products.

Blinds.com does offer a 14-day price guarantee, too, which alleviates the potential concern that products will go on sale soon after you buy them. To get the lower price, you will need to call the company’s service line within 14 days of purchase, and Blinds.com will refund the price difference plus tax.

Customer Service

Blinds.com reviews on third-party sites show a mix of positive and negative feedback. Here is some of the feedback customers left:

“By far the easiest part of renovating my kitchen was the installation of the blinds. I measured and submitted the type I wanted. The blind arrived within 2-3 weeks and the installation WAS SO EASY. I even had to take one down and move it back further, but that was just as simple as installing them. I know nobody comes to the BBB with positive reviews so I wanted to make sure everyone knows that blinds.com is super simple to use and installation is even easier.” - Michael S. via the BBB on November 2, 2020

“I ordered five room darkening Roman shades for my daughters room. The order was completed on time and received as noted on the order. Two of the shades had broken head rails upon receipt and we were missing a cord cleat. The shades came with very detailed instructions on how to install and me and my husband went ahead and installed the two broken head rail shades as privacy was needed. I emailed customer service that evening and had a response the next morning. They mailed me a new cord cleat immediately at no cost and simply asked that I provide pictures of the breaks in the headrail. I emailed back the pictures as requested and they again immediately responded that two replacement Roman shades would be made and shipped again at no additional cost. No need to send the broken shades back. While two shades were broken I’m giving the 5 stars for how great the shades look and how promptly my issues were handled.” - Donna B. via the BBB on September 27, 2019

Verdict & Recommendation

Blinds.com has options to suit a variety of customer needs and offers professional help to make the measurement and installation process as simple as possible. It’s worth noting that Blinds.com has had its Better Business Bureau accreditation revoked for failing to adhere to the company’s requirements for accreditation, but many customers have shared positive reviews online and were satisfied with their experience. We recommend starting with getting an estimate online to see if the products fit your budget.
