  I received my order (#*******) on February 13, 2023 of 2 pair of navy blue coastal drapery. On their website video about how to measure for these drapery, it says and demonstrates to measure from the top of your existing rod.I did this and it measured 99 1/4. The drapery arrived measuring 98. I filed a warranty claim on Feb 14 but select blinds rejected my claim. The real problem was that the correct way to measure would have been from the top of my old curtains to the bottom of them in which case I would have ordered 100. Not only is the video incorrect but I was also told by their 2 design consultants to measure that way. They recorded those calls. So, I feel that it would be fair for them to replace the drapery with 2 pair of 100 nautical navy Drapery.. or give me a refund of $589.73. Thank you.

  I ordered blinds for our home from selectblinds.com. One of them is for a bay window. I decided to split and order 3 inside mount blinds instead of one full width blind for the bay window. The design consultant came up with the measurement calculations for three blinds. When I received the blinds, all three of them were off by more than 1/2 an inch. This is after their default deductions. The calculations for the blinds were done correctly, but the factory deducted two different default deductions which was mentioned no where in the website. They deducted for inside mount plus deductions for multiple blinds for one window. On top of that, it's hard to get a live agent to talk to. If ever I could get hold of one, they brushed it off saying that nothing is wrong on their end. Now, I can only imagine what would happen if I had to deal with them for warranty services. Very unhappy with my experience and will be filing a formal complaint as I have not received any response whatsoever.

  Transaction date: 12/6/2022 Amount: $1457 I've ordered some horizontal and vertical blinds from Selectbinds.com. After my contractor installed the blinds and I moved in my remodeled home, I found out that the horizontal blinds don't turn upward. My bed is right in front of the window. I need to turn it upward so that moonlight and sunlight don't shine into my face while I'm sleeping. My old blinds can turn upward but the new blinds can't. I've reached out to their customer service and they are not willing to fix the problem or provide me a refund. They claimed that the blinds not turning upward is not a defect but no where on the website stated that the blinds won't turn upward. All they can do is to give me 50% store credit. I don't want to spend more money with them and they don't stand behind their guarantees.

  Blinds are designed to be tilted down and they won't have as tight of a closure when tilted up.  We want to make sure you are fully satisfied with our products and will have a manager reach out to help make things right. Please work with **** directly and we look forward to making you happy.

  My name is *****************************, I made a purchase from select blinds and thus far it has been a nightmare. Before making the purchase, I watched a video that showed how to measure the curtain. The video explained to measure the full window width and double the width size. The video also showed how to measure the length of the curtains. The video than tell you to place your order and showed that the draperies would be automatically in a set of 2 panels. Now for someone that knows nothing about draperies, the video seemed simple enough. I did exactly what the speaker did in the video; however, my curtains arrived in one whole panel. I tried calling the customer service number, and I was diverted to a text message conversation. The associate I spoke to was stuck to a script and couldnt understand that the video is misleading, but kept repeating same thing over and over. The only solution that she offered is that I repurchase the curtains at the same price I bought them for with a 10% discount. This is absurd! I understand that this is custom curtain, but the video is misleading and Select Blinds needs to take accountability. I ask to speak to a manager, and I didnt get an email until 2 days later on 1/30, where the manager told me if he does not here from me, he will reach out on 2/3 Friday. I emailed this manager *************************** when I received his email and no reply. I than emailed him to give me a call on that Friday at 11AM Eastern time so I have the time to speak with him, and still no reply. I than emailed him again on Saturday and nothing. It is now 2/15 and still no one has bothered to reach out to me. All I am looking for is a solution that makes sense, and Select Blinds is not looking to make things right. This has been an awful experience. Order #:8885251, *******, & *******

  None of our videos/product details ************* comes in a set of two as we have never offered this as an option.  Our team would love to talk it out and help you solve this dilemma but we have not heard back from you on our calls, texts, and emails. Please contact the manager that has been attempting to reach out to you and we look forward to helping you!

  I ordered window coverings from Select Blinds. Upon receiving them I discovered that 3 of the no tools headrails were defective. I contacted them immediately to make them aware of the issue. They asked me to go to their website and file a warranty claim for each headrail. I did as directed and included videos with my claim. They then reached out to me via email (which they only do digital customer care) and requested photos of measurements of the headrails and asked us to remeasure the windows. We did as requested. After much going back and forth with their digital customer care team they stated that it appears that a new tool (headrail) would fix the problem. On January 17 they sent an email for each claim stating that it would take 1-5 business to process the new headrails and 3-5 days for them to ship. To date I have received nothing from them, and each time I reach out to their digital care team they either give me the wrong information or get back requesting more information. I am having a hard time understanding why I have to send in more information when they claims have already been approved. I thought that I would have the new headrails by now so that I can up my new window coverings. But nothing, and the last email stated that they would be contacting quality control to see what the next steps would be.I even sent them a screen shot showing them that they had already approved the claim which was on their website. I honestly thought that once a claim was approved they would send out the new headrails. I am coming here in hopes that you can help move this along. Their digital care team is a joke since no one ever identifies themselves, and every time you reach out to them, whether through live chat, email, or text you get someone different and it seems like they have no idea what is going on. At least one would think they would keep a file on warranty claims. They claim that this keeps you from waiting online, but it has only created more problems for me.

  Dear Better Business Bureau,I am writing this complaint against SelectBlinds.com in regards to a recent transaction I had with them. I was extremely disappointed with the unethical business practices I encountered and felt the need to bring this matter to your attention.I placed an order over the phone with a designer from SelectBlinds.com on February 8th for 17 blinds. The total cost for the order was $840.98. I went ahead and made the payment, received an order confirmation email, assuming that this was the final and correct amount I would be charged for my order.However, much to my surprise, I received an email from SelectBlinds.com, informing me that they had made a mistake with the pricing and that I needed to pay an additional $569.24 to cover the difference. This was extremely unacceptable and unprofessional, as they had already charged me the incorrect amount, placed my order, and now they were trying to get more money from **** immediately contacted their customer service team to dispute this charge. I explained the situation and provided them with a copy of the original order and payment receipt. However, the customer service representative was uncooperative and unwilling to listen to my concerns. They insisted that I pay the additional amount or risk having my order cancelled.I am extremely unhappy with the way SelectBlinds.com has handled this situation. Their attempt to charge me more money after they had already charged me the incorrect amount, placed my order, and provided poor customer service is unjustifiable and unethical.I am seeking the Better Business Bureau's assistance in resolving this issue. I would like SelectBlinds.com to rectify their mistake and process my order for the original amount charged.Thank you for your time and consideration in this matter.Sincerely,********************

  I ordered a ***** ***** at 36" in length - to use as a valance basically for my son's room. (I ordered sheer *****s prior from Select Blinds and wanted to add a valence over the sheer *****s.) Well when I installed the ***** *****s it turned out so cute so I decided to order it at 72" in length to use as the entire window covering over the sheer *****s. When I went to reorder the ***** ***** they would not honor the discount and they wanted double the price! If I had ordered the ***** ***** at the 72" in length at the time of the original order it would have only costed me $69 more and they wanted an additional $174 to remake the *****! My original total order was only $175. No way am I paying double.

  We're sorry to hear there was a measuring mistake when placing your order. Under our FIT policy, we ask that you cover the price difference from the original shade to the new size. If your height is increasing from 36" to 72", then double the size may mean double the original price.  Our management team will be reaching out to help you with pricing on the reorder. We want to make sure you get a shade that meets your needs within your budget.

  I made an order for 3 premium blackout window blinds through selectblinds.com on 12/09/23 (order #*******) for $714.97.I used a design consultant over the phone to ensure that I measured all of my windows in accordance with the company's specifications. I then received the blinds towards the end of December and none of the blinds worked as advertised. The blinds are supposed to ride along guide rails that insert into the edges of the blinds on either side, however, all 3 of the blinds were cut too narrow to stay on the rails.I contacted the company about this and I was informed that the blinds were cut within their tolerances. Over the course of the following month I replied with pictures, at least one video clip, and measurements of every conceivable thing to measure. I have emails from the rep I was communicating with telling me that they listened to the recordings of my phone calls when I made the order and verified that I did indeed measure everything as I was supposed to proving that I did nothing wrong which inherently places the responsibility of the blinds not working back onto the company. After doing more research on the company's website I found that they shave off from the measurements I provide up to a certain amount and then they allow themselves an additional margin of error for cutting. Here's the problem with that. If I measure how they tell me to measure, and then they cut within their tolerances, and the blinds still don't fit and work as intended, that means that the company needs to change their tolerances, how they tell their customers to measure, or both. I asked for replacement blinds with the correct measurements of what I needed. They told me that I would have to rebuy the blinds and minimal discount effectively almost doubling the original cost of the blinds. I then asked for a refund and they said they don't do refunds. I expect my money back in full, or blinds that work as advertised.

  It looks like the blinds were made to specifications that were ordered but they should be fitting perfectly.  Our management team will be reaching out to help make things right. We want you 100% satisfied and we apologize for the experience you've had thus far.

  First order #******* was placed in 11/2018 for five (5) Premier Woven Wood Shades with a free five year warrantee. These shades were installed and were beautiful in the space. In June of 2021, one shade would no longer go down and was stuck. I contacted the company and they informed me this shade would be replaced, only to hear back this fabric was no longer available and I would need to select another choice. Since all shades were on the same wall and need to be cohesive they agreed to credit the purchase price and for me to reorder. The Premier Woven Wood Shades quality had reduced and a comparable shade increased to the Designer Ultimate Woven Shades at an increase of over 700% each. With this increase, I lowered my standards and ordered #******* a nice Lifestyle Room Darkening Roller. The product is very nice, but the side mounts shows light on sides (defeating the purpose of room darkening). When I contact customer service they informed me I would need an additional product, side tracks (more costs and reviews are 1.8 stars). When this company started it had great pricing and service, today, not the same. Just a shame I am stuck with a product that looks like something purchased from the dollar store.

  We issued full store credit from your previous orders to help you order anything on our website to replace previously defective items. We're sorry to hear that the new shades you selected are not meeting your needs. Please keep in mind that you now ordered roller shades and the previous order was for woven wood shades. and they will look completely different in your window.  Our management team will be reaching out to you to help learn more about your situation.

  Customer Answer

  Date: 02/07/2023

  Yes, I was refunded the price but the premium product previously purchased did not match the current fabric style and would need to purchase items 700% increase in price to match.  Had to settle for what was offered.   That is not a match for match.  

  

  Business Response

  Date: 02/08/2023

  We provided you with full store credit to get anything on our website.  You chose to reorder this product and we are sorry that the items that were chosen weren't quite what you were expecting. If you'd like to reorder something else, we can help you with that an our customer care team is available to help you go above and beyond our policies to make things right. However, we have fulfilled everything that was asked of us up to this point.

  ************ provided a "store credit".  But, prices and quality of selection changed that "store credit" did NOT allow for purchase of even ONE comparable replacement product.  Instead, a full cash refund is due, as your product failed and could not be replaced.
