Perfect fit
June 13, 2025

I love my blinds. It was easy to install and looks great. Love the two-tones. It can make the room darker or lighter, however you line up the vertical panels. I would recommend this to anyone wanting to order this online. They have samples so you can actually look at the colors before ordering.

When the shipment was delayed beyond the expected and promised timeline I tried to change the shipment address (which FedEx said could have been done if Blindster would just make the request), but was met with nothing but delays, refusals and excuses from Blindster.

Finally, 20 days after I placed the order it was delivered to an address I'm no longer occupying. Blindster had ample time to resolve the situation, but failed to do anything helpful at every opportunity.

I will never order from Blindster again... neither should you!

What I thought was a good deal wasn't. The price on their website was decent, so I ordered two small blinds in anticipation to buy more if the quality was good. We'll, after waiting over a month, my blinds were still "in production." Their warehouse must be in China because it would take days to get a response from them, according to their customer service rep. Their customer service is subpar. Takes 24-48 hours to get a response. Their "reviews" must be fake because my experience was horrible. I'd rather go with Lowe's or Home Depot.

A small plastic part broke off. Maybe worth $2.00
Factory solution was buy a whole new blind.
Now I'm stuck with blind that doesn't work!

Ordered 5 Solar Shades
February 21, 2024

Ordered 5 solar shades. Website says: "One 30* operating pole is sent with every cordless shades order to help reach shades in taller windows". Expected 5 operating poles since windows are tall, located in different rooms, and my wife is petite. I received one pole for all 5 shades. They want to charge me $25 to send me rods the website says come with the shades. They say the website says they will send only one pole per order. I disagree. And no where does it give you the option to order more for each window. So instead of taking care of a customer who just spent $2200 and then correcting their website, they told me they wouldn't send them unless I paid extra. I told them I won't be a returning customer and I would let everyone know why.

On their website you'll find the following statement from Kyle Cox the Founder and CEO: "Time and time again companies start out with an emphasis on customer service only to lose sight down the road, forgetting that happy customers are the reason for their success. At Blindster, we will always strive to exceed the expectations of our customers. We truly mean it when we say; "We don't just want customers today…we want customers for life!"

Hey Kyle! I was a returning customer. You didn't meet my expectations. I'm not Happy! And you just lost me for Life!

Poor quality blinds overall. Lots of breakage issues:
- blinds are very heavy and won't go up without supporting with one hand (action itself is terrible and often won't stay in place)
- which results in the thin end caps bending and breaking constantly
- adjusters break and strip on a regular basis

On top of all that, their customer support page tells you to contact them for parts, but after a week they respond that they don't even have parts available and send you to a 3rd party site that does not list ANYTHING for "Blindster".

I ordered four blinds from Blindster. They were permanently wrinkled and uneven. Very ugly. Blindster's response was ridiculous.

Blinds only cover window
March 30, 2023

The blinds I ordered for a double wide window came with just the blinds, there is no way to raise them or lower them. This was a lot of money for junk.

Extremely disappointing
December 20, 2022

I am sick to my stomach after trying to work with Blindster on a very important order. I ordered two blinds in mid-November to have before the arrival of guests arriving on December 28. My order arrived the first week of December but in a color that was completely different from the color on the screen. I called to find out about making an exchange and was on hold for over an hour. The representative who finally picked up told me I would need to wait to receive a shipment of samples before they would remake the product, which I understood. The day I received my samples, I followed the customer service rep's instructions and emailed her back to confirm which blinds I needed.

I called several times to check the status of my order, but received a voicemail that the office was closed for a holiday party - apparently they forgot to take down the holiday party voicemail for several days afterwards.

A full week later, I finally got through to someone (although I again was placed on a lengthy hold), and then was told that no one had processed my reorder and nothing had been done yet. I calmly requested that they expedite my order, as it's only two medium-sized blinds, and because we both acknowledged that they had failed to process the order in a timely fashion. Blindster refused.

I am now a week out from the arrival of my guests, scrambling to find something else to cover the windows so I don't have to put up foil. I'm not sure I'll be able to find anything in time and I am so deeply disappointed.

In a stressful time of year, working with Blindster has added unnecessary anxiety to my holidays. Ordering online always has its risks, and I've learned that when it comes to window treatments, online ordering just isn't smart.

Bottom line: If you need it done right, go elsewhere.

We received plantation shutters that if installed would cut off access to opening our windows as designed. Cost of this product was over $3,200. I was told by Madi at Blindster that they redesigned their order form that would have previously alerted me to this flaw and replaced it with fine print. I was told they wanted to make it easier for people who are willing to sacrifice the function of their windows to order. Our windows were standard builder grade double hung tilt-out windows, nothing odd., it's the same window used in most builder grade homes. Madi offered $500 Max refund. Despite knowing that customers could easily miss their fine print by altering their order form they failed again by not asking the question in their "pre-production" phone call. They knew there was "weak link" in their system yet neglected to cover it with a simple question. BUYER BEWARE!

Perfect blinds!
October 18, 2022

Perfect blinds! My husband was able to install the blinds quickly and easily with the supplies included and a drill. I love the color and they work exactly as I was hoping. I highly recommend Blindster and will buy from them again for my bedrooms.

I ordered the beautiful roman shades with the pink florals on them for my craft room. The sales rep did a great job helping me order the shades since I had never done it before. They arrived quickly and my son had no trouble installing them for me. Happy customer! Beautiful windows!

Other than low quality instructions and low quality screws, no issues. Shade seems to work as expected.

Thrilled to find this company
January 11, 2022

We moved into new build home with no window coverings, so I was on the search for window treatments for most the windows in my home. I searched/got estimates from both local and online businesses. I stumbled across a blog that mentioned they used Blindster for their window coverings and it was stated that she was pleased with this company and that they had great prices. I did a bit of my own research and eventually decided to give this company a try. The first room I ordered for was our master bedroom. I ordered Roman blinds. I was very pleased with the amount of options and fabrics they had to choose from and their prices were very reasonable. I pulled the trigger and order 4 blackout Roman shades which I am pleased with. Since then I have ordered window coverings for my entire house, a combination of Roman and solar shades. The quality is great, even compared to local window treatment companies who are much more pricey. What truly sets this company apart is their customer service, it's top notch and I truly appreciate this! They are prompt, helpful and deliver on their promises. I am now a loyal customer and tell all my friends and family about them. During my process to obtain window treatments there were a few delays and a broken shade but Blindster makes it right for their customers. I'm thrilled I found them! Thank you Blindster for your products and commitment to quality customer service.

Paid for their error
August 26, 2021

Ordered 5 blinds of same dimensions for apartment remodel. Four came in proper and came in 1 inch wider. Blindster mistake. Called and was told to send picture with tape measure to prove my claim. Emailed picture back. No response. Called and asked for number to text picture to. Number would not allow me to forward picture. Called to order replacement to complete project and was told company had info and was reviewing. Bottom line, no response to problem and out $64 extra dollars.

WARNING FOR LARGE ORDERS
July 9, 2021

I'll start by saying that they do stand by their policy, so if you aren't satisfied for any reason you can get up to $500 back. However that $500 limit also stands for orders where the mistake is on their end. I can't do business where a fix to their problem (inaccurate depth measurements indicated on the website, and ambiguous information about optional features) requires the customer to pay even more out of pocket. Customer service people are very nice - but it's clear they can't budge from their policy even if they have some accountability. The product, if the depth worked, would have been very nice.

Ordered and paid for blinds through Blindster that were not even available in stock and took over a month to get. There was no indication from the website that there was zero availability in stock or a date where the product was expected to ship like most companies provide. After purchasing, the website also stated that my order was in production when it was not. After 9 days they email me saying the product is not available and expect it in weeks.

Would not recommend Blindster and will never use them again. You don't know what you're getting until after you pay.

Due to a remodeling delay, we did not open our blinds until the 60 day return window had passed. The blinds were 1/2" short of the measurement I provided, metal brackets were visible, the header was almost three inches tall, and the blind material was another 1/4" short of the frame leaving an almost 3/4" gap on both sides. When I requested permission to return past the 60 day window, they offered me more blinds at 50% off. No thanks!

Work with Patricia
June 9, 2021

We ordered cellular blinds for a large home in the year 2015. Now, in 2021, we ordered cellular blinds for a small home. We did not know the material had changed so much that they made the 2021 blinds with. We measured too short, this time, because this material is entirely different. Unfortunately, they do not make the blinds with the material they had in 2015. Patricia is a wonderful lady who will help you all the way to rectify your issues. She is pleasant to work with and does not play games. If you order, ask for her. She is the reason I am giving Blindster 4 stars. Otherwise, when you call Blindster, you never get a real person on the phone and when they who call back are not warm or friendly like Patricia. One kept repeating that she is there to help me and took too many calls to rectify issues. I do not know if Blindster has changed hands since 2015, but they are extremely lucky to have Patricia.
