  We purchased a shade from Hunter Douglas through a local dealer (*******'s Draperies) as you can't buy direct from Hunter Douglas, in 2021. The first time when it was new, it wasn't even put together and had to go back. They replaced it as it kept coming back not working! It has broken 4 times now. After only 8 months it has broken again, (it is still under warranty) so we had to have *******'s send it back again for repair. (we had to pay the $80 shipping) We just received it back - NOT FIXED! All the pieces are sliding around, it falls down, the strings are all broken still. We paid $1,164.00 for this blind and $80 in repair shipping fees. I want this blind repaired and working correctly. Or replacing for a new working blind. If they cannot do this I would like a compete refund of all my money.

  Customer Answer

  Date: 09/18/2023

  The dealer we worked with at ******** has insisted that Hunter Douglas remake a new blind for us. She is doing a good job. Thankful she is helping with this. 
  

  So hopefully the new blind that comes when we receive it will be working and put together correctly. Hope to receive it by the end of the month. Case wont be closed until we have a blind that works.

  Customer Answer

  Date: 09/19/2023

  Thank you. Yes I have been in touch with the dealer and she informed me you were making a new blind. 
  I want to keep the case open however until we receive the new blind and it actually works. We have so far over the past 2 years had 3 deliveries of a blind that did not work and were shipped broken. 

  Customer Answer

  Date: 09/24/2023

  Hi,

  We received a new blind from Hunter Douglas last night and it is working I am happy to say. We are being hopeful it will last longer than 8 months this time. 

  Thank you

  Thank you, please let us know when you've received the new shade.

  I placed an order of honeycomb shade with a hunter Douglas dealer on July 8th 20**. The shade costed me more than 1.3k, and is in color "Temple" of Fabric "***** slik" in their duette line. Invoice# **-0758926, SO Number S**-07043.When placing the order, I followed all recommended steps in finding a desired fabric and color. Including viewing the options online, as well as inspecting the sample from the manufacture provided sample book. When I received the shade, I found that the shade is far from the demonstrated color. I attached supporting photos of 1) Image from their color option web page VS product received. My order matches with their flagship fabric and color combination in the demo video. This is not a marketing video but a demo showed on their color option page ************************************************************************************ 2) The color of the fabric sample I looked at when placing the order. I use this as evidence that as a customer I've made all possible efforts to verify the color of the final shade. I don't see a ordinary customer could expect the color tone of the final shade given the provided sample form, and the demonstration video above.3) Communication screenshot (partial). I've contacted the dealer and hunter Douglas. They both let me to resolve the issue with the other party. In email exchange with hunter Douglas customer service, their message implied the demo video was described with wrong color:"I have sent the pictures to our online team to make sure that the fabric shown was labelled correctly as I agree it does not look like the Temple color but more like the Arani color."They refused in email to hold responsibility for providing misleading product demo in their color option page. I will stress that this isn't a color variation, but too much a difference that everyone who saw them (including dealer and customer service I emailed with) thinks it's way too different.

  Customer Answer

  Date: 08/07/2023

  This complaint type is "Problems with Product/Service", not about delivery. Could you please help update?

  The desired settlement is to exchange the product due to incorrect demo description. I saw it currently says "exchange none provided."  

  Business Response

  Date: 08/09/2023

  Thank you for reaching out! I have reviewed your case. As directed by the *** your dealer will need to submit this information to their dealer support team. That team will review the information, likely ask for pictures of the rail sticker to verify the fabric/color that was used during manufacturing, and advise the dealer on the next steps.

  Complaint: 20421272
  
  I am rejecting this response because:

  As already communicated with CSR (case # **A7437877), this issue was not that the wrong fabric was used in fabrication, but the unexpected product outcome was caused by misleading info and flawed sample offered by hunter douglas. I have attached photos for each of the following two points.

  1) Your fabric sample failed to show the customer overall green tone due to whatever reason.

  2) There is an description error in your official page. This mistake is so obvious below given color and fabric are exactly as specified, and I think H3**33138313837373737H is undoubtedly the responsible party here.

  The two above points are related to hunter Douglas directly, dealer and fabrication have conflict of interest with me to fix it. If I have to talk to them, I want hunter Douglas to acknowledge the mistake and flaws that caused the unexpected outcome, and credit the customer to remake the shade.

  Sincerely,

  Complaint: 20421272
  
  I am rejecting this response because:

  Dealer told me today that the dealer department only received a message from you without a specific solution. We are at the original state with the dealer department before I talk to you. There were no new options offered from our communications on these issues.

  1) My dealer also told me what you communicated with me before was incorrect.  "The hardware color coordination is something that your dealer would have access to.  It is listed in the sample book of the Duette shades.  The shade was made with the color coordination specified in our sample book." My dealer (with decades of experience working with Hunter Douglas) does not have access to these information, and there is no hardware color for me to see before placing the order.

  2) The mistake in your website still hasn't been corrected. Due to the nature of these issues, dealer and dealer department expects customer service to send a clear message on the solution. Can you message the dealer department that the shade can be redone without charge?

  Sincerely,

  I have checked with your customer service rep and the dealer in my area that Hunter Douglas will not warrantee these shutters because they are over 10 years old. These shutters have been repaired twice by ********************** in **********, ********, only to have the same problem the following year. The problem is the shutters cover three windows and the expanse is too large for the shutters not to warp from the weight. This is what I was told by a repair person, but does not solve my problem. Do I have a Lifetime Guarantee on these shutters or not. I was sold this with this agreement.

  I do not have any additional information. Hunter Douglas gave me a lifetime warrantee on my shutters and now will not stand behind them when they warped. Its that simple.

  Customer Answer

  Date: 09/12/2023

  Yes, I have been in contact with Hunter Douglas and told them about my problem with the shutter I purchased from them. I was told when I purchased them there was a lifetime warrantee. One section of the shutter has warped repeatedly and they were repair twice. The section should have been installed differently and was too wide for the heavy shutters. The repair person told me this. Now that they warped for the 3rd time Im told there is nothing that can be done. The customer service rep told me to contact the store where I purchased them, but no help.

  I bought Hunter Douglas shutters worth $12K from their dealer end of Dec 2021. They were quick to deliver them and it got installed in end of Jan 2022. I opt to buy HD because of the statement that they standby with the quality of their products and it's made in ** compare to their rival that is made from *****. Most of the shutters have scratches when it got delivered. They tried to remake them and they are still not good. I am now told by the dealer that they will no longer remake another one for me. I am now left with windows with noticeable and a low quality looking shutters. For the price I paid, I am hoping HD will standby their promise to consumer to provide good quality products. It's not my fault if the machine they are using to produce these shutters are not functioning properly. It's not my fault that they quality team is not doing their job to ensure that whatever comes out from the factory is up to good standard. I had been thinking of returning these shutters within the first month I got them but I keep on giving them a chance to correct it. I am hoping that I do not need to go through legal action in order for HD to address my concerns.

  Do not do business with Hunter Douglas. We had some blinds malfunction after a short period of time, and despite having a full warranty (which was documented and confirmed), they refused to honour the warranty and ended up only offering us a $200 coupon for a future purchase. Brutal. Dont do business with a company that doesnt honour their contracts! Blinds should have either been repaired or replaced as per the warranty.

  Business Response

  Date: 04/04/2023

  I was able to locate your case and order information. The shades are from 2014. I see the email stating that you started this process with your dealer 3 years ago. These shades were discontinued in May of 2017 and we no longer have parts to repair the shade. I would recommend working with the dealer you started this process with 3 years ago. The dealer can contact dealer support to see what/if the options are available. I see you have been working with *** in consumer support, however, for any warranty claims you would want to work through your dealer. Also, I see you noted your invoice stated you had a full warranty for 7 years. The warranty is based on the date of purchase, which is 2014, making the shades 9 years old. Please get in touch with your dealer to see if there are any other options available.

  I am rejecting this response because:
  

  This really is getting old. I have now explained my position close to a dozen times with your company and you keep on replying with mis-information. First, lets get the dates straight. I had initially brought the blinds in 2014, and had returned them to the retailer in January 2020 to be repaired. That means I still had one year left on my 7 year warrantly. Secondly, even though the retailer stated that the warrantly was valid, he then explained to me (over the next 2 years) that he would either fix the blinds OR replace the blinds since they were under warranty. My retailer then explained to me that he had discovered these blinds were no longer being manufactured so they needed to be replaced - to which I said "sounds good." I was then told by my retailer, after talking with Hunter Douglas, that there was nothing they could no longer due since the warrantly had expired. The issue with this position is that I had brought the blinds in to my retailer in 2020, and they had the blinds the entire time and they were well within the warrantly period. So again, it seems I am being put between a retailer and the manufacturer and no one is stepping up to do the right thing. Is Hunter Douglas going to do the right thing and honour my warranty...or not? Or, will you continue to pass the buck like you have been for the last 3 years! Most frustrating.

  Please find enclosed the original receipt which clearly states at the top we have a warranty of 7 years from time of purchase. We initially brought the blinds into the retailer for repair on January 20, 2020.This date can also be confirmed by contacting the retailer, since they would have the original documentation. We have asked for this documentation from the retailer, but they have not returned an email, or phone call to this affect. Which is another one of the issues we are having. Terrible, terrible service. However, we know this date to be accurate because we have it entered into our calendars as the date we had booked to go in, we also know this date is accurate, because after our first visit  COVID took over, and that was in February, ****. This is also why the timelines for our blinds repair was literally years in the making, and this is also why (we are assuming), we are getting the run around.

  Thank you.

  I placed the initial order for my blinds on October 4, 2022. On December 9, the vendor told me my blinds would be installed the next day. She called 1/2 hour before she was scheduled to arrive and said there was a shipping problem and that she would contact me later in the week to reschedule the installation. On March 17. A partial installation of 1/3 of my blinds was completed, but some of the items in the order incorrect or do not fit properly so they will have to be re-ordered. I check weekly for an update on the status of my order, and the remaining 2/3 of my order has not yet been accounted for nor installed. I paid over $19,000 for this order at the time it was placed. This is ridiculous.

  Business Response

  Date: 03/29/2023

  I'm sorry to hear about the challenges with your order. I have contacted your dealer and have asked them to contact you to provide an update about the remainder of your shades and the challenges with the shades you have received.

  The product in which Lowes carry's is faulty and became damaged during normal use. They claim they have a 5 year warranty yet when I have tried to get refund they have faulted on communication and have been processing this refund for past month. They have claimed they need 4 months to process a return and claim they return communication with each email takes 48 hours.They obviously conduct business outside of ***************** and I wonder if thats legal within the means of distribution.I would like my refund, that I have been waiting for since last year, 2022. I would like a negative **** on this business if in fact they are legit and accredited as they have told me they are,.

  Customer Answer

  Date: 01/30/2023

  The product in question is the LEVELOR BLINDS as stated in previous email. Faux brown purchased at Lowes in ******. The packaging itself is deceptive and not sure if thats even legal as I was under assumption the manufacturing and distribution even contact info is supposed to be valid.

  The blinds itself are warped, as per myself and 100+ customers. It seems like a shady company all n all. I was also told that because the polymer used warped, they emit a bit of toxic fumes into air. I tried to get in contact with management using all info on box or website and here we are having everything forwarded to Hunter Douglas.

   Tell us why here...
