Around the middle of July, 2022 I contacted 3 Day via telephone to purchase a replacement device. It is now the middle of September and the issue will not be resolved until September 27 at the earliest. This is unacceptable and I would appreciate your help. We had dropped the controller for ten motorized blinds here in the house. It no longer worked. All blinds were then stuck wherever they were at the time, up or down. It was out fault. These are west facing windows here in *******************, and we were in the hottest months of the year. I called 3 Day customer service. The agent said that she knew which controller it was, I paid for it via credit card and waited for it to arrive. It did arrive in about 3-4 days, but it was the incorrect device. I called back, we identified the correct device, and the agent said it would be here in two days. A week later I called when it did not arrive. The agent then said that is was "hung up in ******* She said it would be here in a couple of days. It did not arrive. I called back the next week and talked to another agent. By now I was communicating with **************** via email and telephone. This agent said I'd have the device in two days. Later in the day an email informed me it would be three days. The device arrived the following week, 6-7 days later. The device needs to be programmed. Despite my attempts I cannot get the vendor (3 Day installation and service is not by their employees) here any sooner. This is just ridiculous. My complaint is primarily with the lack of any follow up by 3 Day customer service. It took me to keep after them to finally receive the correct device and then after that to get it programmed. It is anyone's guess whether or not the vendor will be here to program the device as scheduled.Business Response

This is a request for help from the Better Business Bureau to get a full refund of $3587.69 from the 3-Day Blinds Company. 3 Day Blinds contract numbers: ****** and ******. I purchased from the 3-Day Blinds Company (4/20/22) what I was told (and what is advertised by the company) would be custom window treatments for three windows in my home, at $3493.54, and was provided with window treatments that were not custom to my windows and do not fit my windows. They are too narrow on both sides of the windowslight protrudes in where there is to be no light. I called and emailed the company and the sales agent (*************************) several times before she finally returned my email and texts, came to my house to take a look, and agreed. She told me the only solution would be to install narrow fabric panels on either side of the two windows (to block out the light) and to replace the window treatment in the third room with another roman ***** to keep the light out. The cost to correct the problem she quoted at an initial $1000.00 + but when I complained profusely about it, she settled on $94.00. With the agreed upon $94.00 the total cost of my window treatments increased to $3587.69. When the install company ****************************** *************************) came to install, he installed full width draperies which was on his order. He told me to contact my ****************** (sales agent) for the concerns I had---I did, with no followup communication except to ask me for pictures of the window treatments which I emailed to her. After that, no communication at all. I need your help!. I am requesting help to receive a full refund of the $3587.69 I spent, so that I can start again with a new company. (They can have the window treatments they installed (and replace my window treatments they took down to install the ones they brought).Business Response

3 Day Blinds apologizes for the ongoing issues with the drapery order.

I have attempted to make contact with 3 Day Blinds representatives on multiple occasions, have several text messages to the sales agent ***** dating back to April 19th, to include requesting a refund which I asked her to take care of in my messages as I stated earlier. I also left a message on the LinkedIn page for the Senior ******************************************* (the only way to communicate with him); letting him know of the issues, with no response. A full refund for this terrible situation is the least 3-Day Blinds should do. This has taken many months, a lot of time and inconvenience, and the physical presence of the sales agent and installation person in my house in the midst of a pandemic.Business Response

The person that called began the conversation in a way in which led me to believe he had absolutely no knowledge of this complaint. i told him I had detailed everything in the communications sent, which apparently he did not take the time to read. ************ advertises custom made window treatments which is false advertisement. It was told to me (after the first mistake was made) that my window sizes did not fit their guidelines. Certainly, that is not the definition of custom. Custom means just the opposite---made to fit! I was given the wrong impression by the company and the sales agent when she sold me the products. When I brought this to the sales agents attention, she agreed that there was a problem and said the only way to fix it was to add side panels to the wrong sized ***** shades, which not only cost more but once installed, turned out to be full drapes that pulled all the way across the windows---terrible! The ************** Services person referred me back to the sales agent ************************ I am requesting that this company give me a full refund. of $3,587.69.Initial Complaint

On or about 12-15-2021 I purchased from 3 day blinds motorized honeycomb shades for several windows of my condo. The order total was almost ****. These binds are sold with a limited lifetime warranty. Cords and ladders being covered for 7 years. In July of 2022, less than 6 months after the installation date, one or the blinds became defective. I attempted to have this repaired, but as I had ordered additional blinds, I was advised when the new order came in at the end of July, the defective blind would be replaced with the new order. Later in July, by e-mail, I was advised that my total order would not arrive until after August 23. On or about August 28th, when I contacted the ********************************************************************************************** perhaps October. I contacted a Supervisor *********************** ************, cancelled the order for the new blinds and was advised a repair order would contact me shortly. Further, he would directly contact the repair entity, ofer supplies for them and advise them that I HAD a replacement blind from previous repair efforts. A refund was given, but 3 Day Blinds has gone silent since that time, despite repeated calls for a status update. After repeated calls on September 6, and September 12, I still have had no return calls, a motorized blind that does not work, and now a second bind has also developed a defective cord. This is clearly a case of a warranty that fails of its essential purpose, and a company that has no interest in helping its customers or repeat business. Despite my repeated best efforts to resolve this matter 3 Day Blinds has made no response to my follow up inquiries, or followed up on the commitments made to honor its warranty.Business Response

I purchased shutters in 2018 with a lifetime warranty. In March of 2021 I reached out that my shutter were not flushed correctly and needed to be fixed. They kept saying okay. The repair guy reached out and never came. I reached out several times. A whole year passed and still not fixed. I reached out again in March and July of 2022 and they responded with someone will be reaching out again. Finally August 23rd someone reached out again and since then nothing. My shutter is still not fixed. I have all emails and pics of the shutter and text messages from the repair guy. I'm still waiting for shutter to be fixed. I don't believe it should take over 1 year for it to be fixed if the repair guy has reached out several times. I can provide email between 3 day also if needed. It's a lot of emails.Business Response

We purchased 12 motorized and 4 manual blinds from 3-Day blinds in April-June of 2022. Unknown to us all the motorized blinds have multiple (up to 8) stickers posted on the base of the blind that are very unsightly and exposed once the blinds are installed. This was not disclosed to us at the time of purchase or during the installation. Once we found out some time later, we reported it. 3-Day Blinds initially directed us to contact their installer contractor company, Rayline, to address this. ******* indicated they're not responsible for the sticker removals and asked us to contact the 3-Day Blinds directly. After multiple phone calls and emails, we were eventually told the stickers are left there for tracking purposes and should not be removed per ************************* ************** Lead). We replied indicating that while we can appreciate the intent the stickers are unsightly and completely visible to the naked eye, hence not acceptable to us. ***** suggested valance or cornice to cover the product and better conceal these identifying labels. I am not familiar with the concept and assumed he's offering an option to cover the stickers in a way that is visually pleasing at no cost. However, later it became clear that he's only offering that as an option for a new purchase. We find this unacceptable and demand that they either remove the stickers from all the blinds without any residual left overs, or provide an option to cover the stickers in a professional way without impacting the overall look or functionality of the blinds, at no additional cost. Additionally, they are obligated to address some installation errors and defect parts which they have acknowledged verbally, but have not yet addressed.

Thank you for processing my complaint. Much appreciated.
While I appreciate the acknowledgement from the Business, until our issues are actually addressed I do not consider our complaint resolved. I say this because I've spent hours calling, emailing, and trying to coordinate with the business and their installation contractor to address the sticker issue to no avail. Please refer to the last reply from the 3-Day Blinds ************* Lead essentially ruling out any responsibility to address the issue.

I ordered and paid $1056.47 for custom blinds to be installed. I had a scheduled appointment for 8/31/22 for the installation. The installer texted (see attachment) stating they were running behind and pushed the appointment back from the original time of 2-6pm to 4-8pm. I said ok. At 430pm, the installer texted and said they COULD NOT MAKE IT! I took off work to make this appoinemtn! I paid over $1000 for blinds to be installed on 8/31/22 THAT WERE NOT! I want a full refund of the money that I have already given to this company! I spoke with "*********" who identified herself as a lead that handles customer complaints **************). I spoke with *** in customer care (same number) and was on the phone with *** from 445p-620pm as he was trying to process a claim for a refund! ********* stated she has to forward the complaint to upper management and it will take 48 hours for a decision. The only decision here to make is to refund me the EXACT AMOUNT of money that I spent for a service I DID NOT RECEIVE!Business Response

I have proof attached that shows I paid over $1000 for blinds to be installed. I attached the documents my original complaint. They cannot just keep my money! I want a full refund of the money paid to them! How can the company dispute the money paid. I have attached the text messages from the installers canceling my appointment after asking can they push the time back. The company has canceled two appointments without reason on 8/27 and 8/31.

The client was contacted on 8/30/22 and informed that a full refund was being processed. I have attached a copy of the email documentation that the customer received. The credit card company can take up to 15 business days to post the refund to the account. However, if a chargeback has been done by the consumer than an additional refund may not be warranted.Initial Complaint

Im *************************************************************** it ( all rooms) and as part of this contacted 3Day Blinds on or about 11/9/21. I requested a design consultant touted in their ads as having the skills to design my window treatments. ******** came; we discussed the windows. I said I knew colors but didnt know blinds; she said she had the skills to help. I had dealt with 3day blinds before (2012 or so) but I knew what I wanted then and didnt need help. This time I did at least I expected them to know what they were doing. ******** was lovely but she didnt (know).We signed the contract; I explained I was having new windows installed as part of the remodel and didnt want the blinds until I had the new windows installed and was sure they didnt leak. ******** was confident shed ordered the perfect blinds and I sat back and waited for the windows which didnt get installed AND stop leaking until about April of this year (its a blurry timeline atm).3day came out, installed (as many as they could) and for the first 6 hours I was euphoric; I had window coverings for the first time during Covid. Then reality crashed in. I couldnt close the kitchen blind; it didnt fit in the space and I couldnt close the dishwasher. The right angle downstairs corner window blind left 3 inches of window exposed. The other two downstairs blinds looked irregular and sloppy.Then upstairs. Three large right angle blinds cover the bedroom windows. One couldnt be installed as it wasnt properly or correctly measured. The other two upstairs large blinds are unusable. To me! They are way too heavy at least the one on the right over the stairway for me to lift; the colors dont match (one is beige the other grey); and the other two upstairs blinds dont cover the windows; they look odd. Not pretty. I was gobsmacked. I called ****** and asked to consult her supervisor. ****** said that wasnt possible call cust service; that had no complaint optionsBusiness Response
