Inaccurate Colours, Poor value for money

Summary:
- Responsive customer service, but very limited recourse if something isn't right as blinds are made to measure
- Rubbish remedy for an issue that was caused by false advertising of the colours and pressure to buy quickly
- Absolutely do not purchase without first ordering a sample of the colours as they can be *wildly* different from what is shown on the website (my "sage green" blind was grey-blue)
- They do now tell you when the sale ends, so you will know if you have time to order samples (which is why they get a second star)
- Their Perfect Fit pleated blackout blind is indeed blackout, but there is enough bleed-through around the edges of the fabric (between the pleated section and the frame of the blind) that you will still need curtains.
- Same product (Perfect Fit pleated blinds) can be bought cheaper elsewhere, I won't return to these folks.

Details:
Bought a Perfect Fit pleated blind for my bedroom off the basis of the colours as shown and described on their website. The colour was listed as "Soft Sage", listed under "green" in their filters, and shown as a pale, warm green colour on the website on every device I viewed the site with. I did not order a sample as there was a significant sale on, and no indication of when the sale pricing would end, which put pressure on me to purchase swiftly. The blind was £108 with measurement insurance and shipping.

When the blind arrived, installation was straightforward, though definitely a two-person job. However, the blind was a greyish blue, and the manufacturer had named the colour "Astral Eucalyptus". I contacted Order Blinds as it seemed like a mistake had been made, but their customer service assured me that it was the correct colour, mailing me a sample to compare. After a lot of back and forth, they agreed to show the end of their sale pricing on the website in future to avoid this situation happening again since there are no refunds for the colour being wildly different from what was advertised on the site.

I would publish photos if I could because truly, there is no way I would call the blind I received green. It's a greyish blue colour in every light. They offered me £25 off a future order of over £100, but failed to tell me that it could not be used with other promotions, so when I went to use it with their Black Friday offer, I was unable to. By the time they issued me the £25 refund, I was completely done with them.

I won't order from them again as the product is cheaper elsewhere, and frankly, not a high enough quality to justify the price. There's so much light bleeding in around the edges of the fabric that I still had to put up curtains.

Great product

Great product, print quality is very good, and sized perfectly. Easy to follow instructions for installation. Very happy.

Unhappy

Compared to other online blind companies I have used in the past they were incredibly disappointing.

It’s less than clear unless you read the small print that the measurements will be reduced by up to 1.3cm.

The insurance cover at around £10 will still require you to pay to return the incorrectly measured blind (due to lack of clarity above) and you also need to pay around a further £10 to get the correctly sized blind.

My advice read the small print or avoid like the plague and go elsewhere.

Customer service contact was good but got me nowhere helpful.

Won’t be using them again

Thank you for sharing your feedback with us. We are genuinely sorry to hear about your disappointment and regret that your experience didn’t meet your expectations.

To address your concerns, we want to clarify a few points:

Measurement Adjustments: Depending on the type and size of the blind ordered, a small reduction may be made to ensure the best and easiest fitting experience. We strive to make this clear on our website and recommend that customers do not make any deductions themselves. This approach aligns with industry standards, and we include this information to help prevent any surprises.

Mismeasurement Insurance: The terms of this optional cover, including the conditions for returns and replacements, are detailed on our website. An additional charge is only required if the new blind needs to be larger than the original, as this increases the material cost as it will need to be re-manufactured from scratch.

Our Commitment to Service: While our customer service team works hard to assist with any issues, we understand your frustration and are sorry to hear that the resolution fell short of your expectations.

We genuinely value your feedback as it helps us improve our communication and processes. If there’s anything further we can do to assist or clarify, please don’t hesitate to reach out. We are committed to resolving issues where possible and ensuring a better experience in the future.

Thank you again for your comments, and we hope you might reconsider using our services in the future.

Kind regards,

Good

Got a grip fit blind and it was a little bit of a faff to get installed but I got there in the end. The instructions given on the paper were not clear with how to deal with the adjustment block thing.

I also ordered a blind with left side control, but for some reason they sent me right side control. I don’t have time to return it and wait for a new one right now but I wish they got this correct from the beginning.

The blind itself is nice though. Overall I’d say 3.7/5 if I could be more specific for my own experience.

4.5/5 if I rate just the blind quality ignoring the incorrect control side

EDIT after business response: it seems the standard roll direction is for the blinds to be rolled to the side closest to the window. I had assumed otherwise and I wasn’t able to find any information on the website at the time to determine which way is which. I’m sure it’s there but I wasn’t able to find it while purchasing. On the bright side it can be switched if needed so shouldn’t be a huge problem if you did order the wrong way like I did.

I’ve also removed the section regarding the plastic thing, this isn’t a huge issue anyway once it’s installed. It’ll just be a pain to install as it may slip out while installing. You can just slip it back in and try again.

My overall experience will remain as 4 stars, which is by no means a poor rating, and would still recommend getting a blind with them should you be looking for one.

Hi there,

Thank you for sharing your detailed experience with the blind installation. We really appreciate your feedback and are sorry to hear about the issues along the way.

Your feedback about the fitting instructions is noted, and we’ll work on improving the clarity of our guides to make installation smoother in the future.

We’re sorry to hear about the control side not matching your order. Just to double-check—could it be that the blind was fitted the other way around? For the roller blind you've ordered (Roll Direction: Standard Roll), the fabric is designed to roll over the back of the blind, closer to the window. Since the fabric is the same on either side for the particular fabric you've ordered, it can be fitted either way.

If the blind is fitted correctly and the chain is still on the wrong side, it’s a simple process to switch the chain to the other side. If you need any further guidance on this, feel free to reach out to us at info@orderblinds.co.uk, and we’ll be happy to send you detailed instructions.

Lastly, the blind you’ve ordered features a "Plain Bottom Finish" with a sewn bottom pocket weighted down. This design does not come with end caps, as those are only provided for blinds with external aluminum bottom bars. Once the blind is installed and level, the weight in the bottom pocket will remain secure and stay in place without any issues.

We ordered individual roller blinds for our patio doors. They look lovely but they have a mind of there own and constantly ping back up to the top. This wakes my dog up constantly during the night. I honestly wished I'd just stuck with curtains, they would have been much cheaper.

Hi Robyn,

Thank you for taking the time to leave us feedback - we're sorry to hear that your blinds are working as they should.

The system has a locking mechanism to prevent this, so it sounds like something is going wrong - could you email or call us with your order information and details of the issue so we can get it resolved for you?

We look forward to hearing from you.

Great company, great service

Excellent webpage and the customer support team on the phone were wonderful guiding me through the process of ordering replacement blinds. The sample arrived in one day and the order was delivered a day early. Highly recommended!

To avoid at all cost if you are looking for blackout perfectly fitted

Subject: Formal Complaint Regarding Order Blinds - Urgent Resolution Required

I am writing to express my extreme dissatisfaction with the service I have received regarding my recent order. Despite providing the correct measurements for the six blinds I purchased, I have thus far received only three, all of which are significantly shorter than the requested dimensions.

Upon discovering the issue, I immediately requested that the incorrect blinds be collected and replaced with others correctly fitted (as per my measurements). However, Order blinds team has been highly uncooperative in resolving this matter. Although I have provided the photos requested to prove the discrepancy, I continue to be asked for additional images without any clear indication of when the incorrect blinds will be collected or the replacements sent. I was then threatened that if I do not cooperate when I have been cooperating from inception of this issue, I could go to the insurance I acquired and pay for the return. I however question where are the terms and conditions of the insurance I bought as I have no details whatsoever. This is ridiculous and inadmissible!
I specifically ordered blackout blinds, with the exception of two intended for my kitchen. Unfortunately, the blinds delivered are not fit for purpose. It appears that this company has provided insufficient fabric and a shorter system in an attempt to cut costs, leaving me with products that do not meet the standards advertised (fit for purpose not 1/5 less of each windows).

This service has been unacceptable, and I am frustrated with the lack of timely resolution. If I do not receive the correct blinds by October 1st, 2024—the date specified in our contract—I will be left with no choice but to pursue legal action. I will file a claim with the Small Claims Court for breach of contract, negligence, and violations of the Consumer Rights Act 2015. Additionally, I will seek a full refund and compensation for the distress and wasted time this situation has caused.

Had I been informed that your blinds are consistently 3 to 5 cm shorter than advertised, I would have made my purchase elsewhere, at a physical store with standard measurements. this would have cost me less and would not be on this situation of having lost circa of £640 with 3 defective blinds.

I therefore urge a response from OrderBlinds.co.uk to resolve this matter promptly and professionally to avoid further escalation.

Hi Jennifer,

Thank you for taking the time to leave a review, I understand that following a conversation with our General Manager this morning that we have now been able to confirm the required sizing with you in order to remake your blinds. We do try and make our reductions clear on our website by including them in our sizing information, so we can ensure that we meet our customer's expectations. For the same reason the terms of the Mismeasurement Insurance can be found on our website via the link at the top of the page - https://www.orderblinds.co.uk/dept/mismeasurement-insurance_d011157.htm

As discussed we are very sorry for the time it has taken to get to this point, but we want to ensure that we're positive of the new sizes required in order to avoid you receiving a second set of blinds that are still not suitable. Happily it seems like we now have this confirmed so will proceed with manufacture and have them despatched to you as soon as possible. It's always our main aim to provide good quality products that work for our customers, so we sincerely hope that this will accomplish that goal.

Good company to deal with

Good order process, Good product and as advertised. Struggled a bit with securing my non-screw in roller blind on shiny bathroom tiles but fixed this by putting non slip tape either side. Very good with after sales when I needed a couple of extra parts to suit my installation. Recommended.

Hi Barry,

Thank you so much for your review! We're thrilled to hear that you're happy with your purchase of our Grip Fit drill-free roller blind.

We're sorry to hear that you experienced some difficulty getting it to grip to your tiling. The system is designed to hold securely with up to 60kg of pressure, so this shouldn't normally be an issue. If the measurements are accurate, it should stay in place without any additional support like tape.

Could we kindly ask you to remeasure the recess and send us the dimensions via email? Along with that, please provide the width of the hardware so we can double-check that it has been made to the correct specifications. Additionally, let us know if you used the adjustment blocks provided, as these help increase the width and ensure a secure fit.

We appreciate your feedback and look forward to resolving this for you!

Best regards,
The Order Blinds Team
