Waste of time and money
After 4 weeks of waiting for customization and shipment (paid extra to be faster), the blind came with missing pieces and broken parts. Made in China or not, I was expected way more quality and efficiency after spending nearly 300€ for a single blind.
The replacement pieces will hopefully come in other 15 days. Which makes the experience even more frustrating. I would not recommend.

Sara, we’re really sorry this is how your order arrived. After waiting four weeks and paying extra for faster delivery, opening the package to find missing pieces and broken parts is incredibly disappointing.
We can see that replacement parts are already being arranged, but we also understand why another wait on top of the original delivery time makes this even more frustrating.
We’ve sent you a request for information through Trustpilot so we can get your order number and email address and match this review to your existing case. Once we have that, we’ll check the replacement status, make sure the right parts are being sent, and keep a closer eye on the follow-up from here.
We’d really like the chance to get this back on track and make sure you’re not left wondering what’s happening next.

It’s actually so dark it’s dangerous
I’ve never bought something from a Facebook ad before and been blown away. Like, the sh*t works exactly as advertised. I thought the videos had to be edited. Nope. It’s really dark.

Cody, this gave us a laugh. We’re really glad the blinds lived up to the videos and that the blackout ended up being even stronger than you expected.
Going from being skeptical of a Facebook ad to being genuinely impressed is a pretty great turnaround.
Thanks for giving Guard Blinds a shot and for sharing the reaction.

It’s amazing the difference they make. They are truly blackout blinds whereas when they are closed, you really can’t see any light coming through

Bill, this is great to hear. We’re really glad you’re seeing such a noticeable difference once the blinds are closed.
That full blackout effect is exactly what makes the product feel so different in the room, especially when there’s no light creeping through around the edges.
Thanks for taking the time to share your experience with us.

Glad I've found this
Blinds fit absolutely perfectly without any light leaking into the room. I was skeptical at first how this is even supposed to work without any screws but it works perfectly (mine is 3m x 1,8m, huge thing). The first few weeks my blinds didnt fully close for some reason and snapped back open a little bit but the support team really does care and they sticked through the issue with me until it eventually closed properly. Great product that doesn't even exist by any European company. Glad I found this. It is a little bit harder to close than the videos suggest but not annoying.

Simon, this was a great review to read. A 3m x 1.8m blind is no small setup, so we’re really glad the fit came out well and you’re getting the full blackout you wanted without having to drill into the window frame.
We also appreciate you mentioning the issue with the blind snapping back open at first. It’s good to hear our support team stayed with you until it was closing properly, and we’ll take the feedback about the closing tension on larger blinds on board too.
Thanks for sticking with us through the adjustment and for sharing such a detailed experience.

These are fantastic!
These are fantastic! They fit perfectly in my skylight - and stay put! They provide total black out. Where were these when my kids were babies?!?! I have only one complaint: they took several weeks to arrive. They were packaged carefully, and were easy to install.

Lisa, your “where were these when my kids were babies?” comment gave us a smile 😄
We’re really glad the skylight fit worked out so well and that you’re getting the full blackout you wanted. It’s also great to hear they stayed securely in place and were easy to install once they arrived.
We do hear you on the delivery time, though. Several weeks is a long wait, and we appreciate your patience.

Exceeded Expectations
The blinds are fantastic - easy to assemble, easy to install, and they work amazingly! If I could change one thing it would be the production and assembly time. It took a while to get them delivered.

Johnny, thanks for the thoughtful review. We’re really glad the blinds exceeded your expectations and that both assembly and installation went smoothly.
We also hear you on the production and delivery time. Waiting longer than expected can take some of the shine off an otherwise great experience, so we appreciate you calling that out.
Thanks again for sharing your feedback and for choosing Guard Blinds.

Blinds are not totally black out
Blinds are not totally black out. Close. But not fully. Customer service with this company is garbage. They will not refund you or do anything if you’ve measured wrong either.

Reply from Guard Blinds
Jenn, we’re sorry this has been such a frustrating experience. If the blinds are still letting light through after installation, we want to understand what’s happening there, especially since blackout performance is such a big part of what you bought them for.
We also hear your concern about the measurement issue and the response you received from support. We don’t want to make assumptions about the case without seeing the order details and what’s already been discussed.
We’ve sent you a request for information through Trustpilot so we can get your order number and email address and match this review to your existing case. Once we have that, we’ll review the blackout concern, the measurements, and the support history so we can give you a clear next step based on the full picture.

I love the shades
I love the shades. My smaller windows were perfect,
I love the way they fit and block out light. My larger windows, not so much. The larger window is almost 8 ft long. The shade had a bow in the middle that caused the shade not to open correctly. I think on the longer window, they somehow need to have a stronger bar to prevent bowing. Other than that, I love the shades. They work excellently.

Thanks for such a balanced review. We’re really glad the smaller blinds fit well and are giving you the blackout you wanted.
We also appreciate you calling out the bowing on the larger window. At nearly 8 feet, that’s a very different setup, and feedback like this is useful because it shows where the product experience can change at larger sizes.
Glad to hear you’re still happy with the blinds overall, and thank you for taking the time to share both what worked and what could be better.

This has been a frustrating experience…
This has been a frustrating experience from the start. I have been reached several times asking for the correct measurements which I replied every time with the correct measurements and yet again I got several more asking for them. Now that I’ve reached the end of my rope on this I did want my money back since I’ve never received the product. The number given to call is no longer in service and I’m getting no help from PayPal who says it was entered as a friends and family purchase. All I want is my refund and I want it now and I’m getting no satisfaction. Do not trust this company.

Patti, we can understand why you’re at the end of your rope with this. You’ve responded multiple times with the measurements you were asked for, still haven’t received the product, and now you’re trying to get a refund without a clear path forward.
We’ve sent you a request for information through Trustpilot so we can get your order number and email address and match this review to the existing case. Once we have that, we’ll review the measurement history, order status, and your refund request so we can see exactly where things stalled and take it from there.
You’ve already spent enough time chasing this. Our focus now is to get you a clear answer and move the case toward a proper resolution.
