Be careful when ordering from dotcomblinds. The blinds I ordered are not what I received on the pictures and no returns are accepted due o them being bespoke. Very disappointing and despite explaining I wouldn’t have ordered them if the blinds I received were actually the ones pictured but just been told no refund or returns.

Thank you for your review.

I'm sorry that you're unhappy with your order. Your issue is that you didn't want cords running through your Prestige blind, but unfortunately, this is the only way these blinds can function, the cords are what hold the fabric or slats under tension and allow you to raise the blind up fully or to hold its place mid-way down the window.

You have received the correct product, and we state on the product page that cords are running from top to bottom through the blind. Likewise, we can't provide returns or refunds due to the made-to-measure nature of the product.

I hope this clarifies our position and reasoning, but if you have any further questions please get in touch and I'll be more than happy to help.

Bifold door blinds, gapping at the top

Blinds are exactly what we wanted but the tension is really difficult to get right. They gap at the top, a small magnet inside the top fixer rail and the bar might work but I don't think I should be working this out to get them to sit right. I have altered the tension several times and the string is already fraying and I'm nervous about attempting anymore, if the string gives out, what are really expensive bifold blinds will be obsolete.
The company say they should come at the right tension but all three blinds are wrong and drop about 15 cm from the first fitting.
Customer service so far has been good, I would love to get the tension right or be supported to do so without the fear of the strings snapping.
Back on the phone to them tomorrow so may update this review depending on outcome!

Hi Fiona, thank you for your review. Without your order number it's hard to comment on the blind specifically, but if you have dual control Prestige blinds there will sometimes be some separation between the headrail and the top bar due to the weight of the fabric, but if you can send us in some pictures of the issue I can show the factory and let you know what can be done to resolve this for you.

PLEASE AVOID THIS COMPANY

I very very rarely write reviews, but I felt like I had to make an exception this time due to the absolute shocking attitude from customer service. I enquired with them about a producted I wanted, battery powered blind… I hadn’t had one before so wanted to make sure I ordered the right thing as some of the information on there website is conflicting. The guy sent me the link and ordered what I needed. I only ordered from this company because I desperately needed it before Christmas. I paid a surcharge for this pleasure. The blind came as planned and had it put up (feeling very relieved it was all sorted) but as it transpires, you have to buy a remote separately!! At no point did the man on customer services advise this was an additional item, nor did it come up on their website as one of the additional items to purchase alongside the product (there were other options with the product like solar pack etc) but no remote.

I made a complaint about this via chat and spoke to the very same person… his immediate response was “I’m sorry that you didn’t purchase the remote to go with your blind” …. Major gaslighting! The attitude was appalling and the immediate reaction is clearly to blame the customer. I asked for one to be sent via special delivery (postage at their expense) so I could use it as intended (particularly as I had paid an extra £20 shipping to get it before Christmas) and they refused. Constantly told me it was my fault. I reached out for them looking for what I needed and was also very clear that I needed it before Christmas and that is what the choice was based upon. At no point did they advise it’s sold separately, you have to have a good hunt around on their website for this information. Basic customer service might warrant the courtesy of saying oh btw, please be sure to purchase your remote in addition… but no, how would they rip you off and get to charge more money if they did that?

There was absolutely no willingness whatsoever to try and resolve this issue, clearly they literally could not care less. So, I have been left with an item unfit for its intended use (because it is completely defunct without that remote) and having spent over £300 for the pleasure of it. Now the whole thing will be going back to them because they are utterly awful.

Their response to my review speaks volumes… I rest my case. There is a reason they have 30% 1 star reviews.

Thank you for your review.

Remote controls are sold separately, and this is because some customers already have blinds and remotes and just need to buy the blind. Likewise, some customers buy multiple blinds at once so it wouldn’t be sensible to send a remote with every blind.

It says on the Electric Blinds category page and on each product page that the remotes are sold separately. You are also prompted on the product page and at the checkout to purchase a remote control where the add to basket prompt states "To operate your blind you will need a remote control. We recommend a single channel controller".

You were not misled, nor were you ‘gaslit’, we simply responded to your question for a white blackout battery-powered blind via our online chat function. I’m sorry that you failed to see the notices saying remote controls are sold separately but this is not the fault of DotcomBlinds and as such we are unable to accept responsibility for your mistake.

Please be aware you cannot return your order to us as the bespoke nature of the product means we cannot provide refunds.

We purchased the bifold black out dual blinds and each day they drop about half an inch or so,I contacted the company and one of the team said this can happen as the weight is on the topand there isnt anythingthey can do so I think we have been badly advised on the product and defeats the object of black out so be very careful buying from this company as they seem to want your money for a bad product

Hi Barry, thank you for your review. It can happen sometimes that the top bar will sit slightly lower than the headrail for the dual control Prestige blinds, and this is due to the weight of the fabric being attached to a moveable bar and not to the fixed headrail (as is the case with the single control Prestige blinds).

Tension can be adjusted but following the instructions supplied with the blinds, and this will help to keep the bar in place.

Customer service was faultless

Customer service was faultless. I needed to change my delivery date and they were fantastic.
The blinds are great .I've had blinds from Dotcom blinds before and can say that the quality is super and the measurements are as ordered. Well done

Very happy

Slightly see through roller blinds excelllent in every way.

Vertical blind equally well made.

Guidance on sizing produced perfect sizes.

Vertical blind just a tiny bit slightly pinker than rollers, but not in a problem way

Poor quality and appalling customer service

Blind installed correctly as confirmed by company but light coming through on both sides as blind is 4cm shorter than given dimensions which wasn't mentioned prior purchase or anywhere in description. Also thermal efficiency/solar coating doesn't work as it easily gets to 40 degrees temperature on a sunny day (checked with infrared thermometer). You can feel heat standing in front of window. Blind was also supposed to be easy clean but it's impossible to clean it without leaving marks. NOT recommended. Seller just fobbing off offering different much more expensive type of blind to sort out problem. Wasted money and time.

Thank you for your review. Your order was for a standard roller blind in a blackout fabric. The measurements you provided are ‘recess fit’, which means that you have supplied us with the width of the recess, into which the blind will be fitted.

Obviously, the fabric of the blind cannot be this width as once the other parts such as brackets, mechanism and pin end are added on, the blind would be wider than the recess so it wouldn’t fit into that gap.

As such, the fabric will always be smaller than the given width simply because the brackets, mechanism and pin end need to be included and for the whole thing to fit within the recess.

If you’re looking for absolute darkness, a sealed unit such as our Cassette system would be the product of choice, as there is a headbox, side channels and bottom bar.

Blinds didn't fit, they took my money

Blinds didn't fit, sent me a replacement which also didn't fit. They told me the reductions they make from the measurements given and both have been too large compared to what they say, however they claim this is acceptable manufacturing tolerance. Now they are telling me my measurements must be wrong (verified with laser and multiple people). Bottom line is they gave a blind that doesn't fit the measurements provided and they've taken my money.
Ps. I'm already excusing the wrong color furniture sent originally and the terrible qc on the adhesive strips

Hi Oliver, thank you for your review.

When it comes to our bifold door blinds, we request the width and drop of the visible glass – from where the rubber gasket ends to where it starts on the other side. We then take the width measurement and deduct 4mm from it. This is so that the headrails fit into the window frame and to account for the rivets at the end of the headrails through which the cord runs.

For your blind with a given width of 844mm, we would make the headrail to a width of 840mm.

We have a general manufacturing tolerance of +/- 1-2mm, meaning that the blinds can on occasion come out up to 2mm wider or smaller than what we planned to cut. This doesn’t make a difference to the overall size as the deductions are greater than any protrusions.

When you got in touch to say that one of your blinds didn’t fit, we remade it for you. It arrived at the correct size, albeit 1mm wider at 841mm, which is within tolerance.

However, when you got in touch at first we remade the blind believing that it may have had a manufacturing error, but since the remake also doesn’t fit, this indicates the measurements supplied aren’t correct, especially since the other 7 blinds on your order fit.

As a result, there is nothing more I can do to help – any new remakes would come out the same size and they still wouldn’t fit.

Thank you for your review. As discussed when you got in touch with us, there was a fault in the production of the fabric of your blind. We processed a remake right away and it is on it's way to you. Remakes of these particular blinds can take a couple of weeks to reach you due to the nature of the product, but it has been dispatched. I have reached out to the courier for an update and I will contact you when I have a response from them.

A great find!

Having had great difficulty finding a stockist for extra wide blinds I was delighted to find dotcom blinds and see the wide range available, especially the right fit guarantee.

The blind arrived exactly when stated, well packaged and with clear easy to follow instructions for fitting. The quality of the fabric is very good and overall really happy with the result. I will definitely be using them again in the future.

Thanks for your reply.

Firstly, really good to hear that following "my rant" (your words) and my direct and persistent intervention, DotcomBlinds actually decided that yes, my repeated suggestion to Buzz that DotcomBlinds should probably take the trouble to actually contact their customer and clarify their delivery address worked out well -particularly as Buzz had repeatedly advised me on the phone that DotcomBlinds just deliver to whatever address is on the order and as such aren't in anyway interested in reconfirming that address if that address proves to be wrong (be it an honest mistake by their customer as proved to be the case in this instance or otherwise).

Finally, DotcomBlinds also failed to consider, establish or show any empathy towards the person receiving these unwanted goods namely, me: it would be have been reassuring if DotcomBlinds could have shown some perception of how this looked from my point of view or shown any empathy as to what my situation was as someone who was receiving goods to my personal address which weren't ordered and whether I may in anyway be vulnerable or be someone who is at risk from unwanted callers / deliveries. It showed a complete lack of consideration or empathy.

The blinds fit

The blinds fit, but are a little fiddly to fit. The delivery was quick but I would say the blind is quite expensive for what it is and the quality of it.

Hi Gaynor, thank you for your review. I'm glad you're happy with your blinds, although from the order we have under your name, you only ordered chain operated XL roller blinds and not an electric version? With our battery powered electric blinds a charger is supplied as standard, but remotes are sold separately, and this is stated on the product pages.
