Budget Blinds Anmeldelser 126

This review is long overdue. I have owned these shutters for 7 months. I would not be surprised if Budget Blinds threaten me to remove this. Here is my story: My brother in south Texas had Budget Blinds, plantation shutters. He was pleased, and we liked them. We lived in the Dallas area, and used our local Budget Blinds. We chose a slightly different style, and we liked ours too. In my area, I was told sometimes they use a third-party vendor. Regardless, we liked them. The only negative was watching them assemble them on my driveway. However, I saw no marring or scars. Then we moved to Florida to a brand-new house, and called our local Budget Blinds.
In the consultation, I realized my windows were different from my last house. The windows in this house have wood frames, and my previous windows had sheetrock frames. I told the lady, “I need to be able to tilt my windows inwards for cleaning.” She said, “You won’t be able to do that.” I said, “Then you don’t have what I want.” She stammered some and stated, “Let me make a call.” Whatever was discussed, she had a solution. She threw around words such as “direct mount.” We also discussed hidden hinges. I did not recall having to make that decision in my previous house, and it did not make a difference to me, however, I chose hidden hinges, which I did not get.
I thought my issue was going to be my own fault, about not being able to fully open the blind/shutter to tilt the window inward for cleaning, because of having furniture or cabinets in the way. But that is not why I could not tilt my window inward. It is because of the thick light-blocking strips they install on the sides.
When the second blind was installed, I halted the installation to address my concerns. He went outside to make a private phone call to Budget Blinds. I let the installation continue. I thought I could buy some screens that could be installed and removed from the outside, but I was wrong (too late now.) After each blind was installed, he twisted my window (bottom half) in such a way that he could “prove” that it could be done, and took a photo! It is NOT easy to do what he did, especially without scratching things.
Installer said some of my windows were out-of-square. Well, someone from Budget Blinds did measure my windows beforehand.
Also, Budget Blinds did not make me aware that one of the shutters in the garage, could not be fully opened because it hits the garage door rail. They could have suggested a shutter that opens from the middle.
They say it is my fault, that I signed the contract. In the contract, each shutter is 16 detailed lines long, and did not mean much to me, a lay person to shutters.
I will never be able to fully clean the back of my windows. It bothers me enough that I often think of removing them but hesitant knowing I paid $7,635, and must purchase other blinds and drapes and deal with repairs. If/when I get new windows, these will go into the trash. They will probably go sooner.
I do see mars on these, and a little warping here and there, where the slats look a little bowed. They say the material they use is according to your area (humidity?)
I was told after installation, when I was discussing these things with the installer, they were not too pleased with this employee who did the consultation but afraid to fire her. She had a history of not writing things down.

Great service, the blinds were exactly as expected and the fitters were very friendly and professional, I would definitely recommend this company. Only 5 days between measuring and fitting and very good value for money

I had a great experience - especially installation. It only took about 10 minutes. I do wish there more fabrics to choose from, and that they'd give an update along the way. Prices are steep, bit the product is great. Everyone was knowledgeable.

So I was reluctant to write this review. So I purchased a 10k set back in 2022. They were purchased by someone else, and they came out back in July to honor the warranty. I was willing to pay to get it fixed, they came out and tried to fix it. I spoke to the owner and he told me that he reached out to the company and they were going to send him the charger. Nope. Its been now 7 months, I think Ive waited long enough to write this review.

Funny thing is they were quick to give me quote to get new blinds on some of the windows I didnt do before. Once I turned it down because the price was a bit too high, I havent heard from them. I have so many emails back and forth with this company. I get not wanting to warrant the lifetime warranty because you purchase the company, but I cant open or close the blinds because they never followed back up. 7 months....could you imagine if i purchase the blinds they quoted me 7 months ago.

If I could give infinite stars I would. IMO Tracey's knowledge is the best in the business. Just an FYI we did get 2 other quotes as well, so glad we didn't go with the others. We ordered the blinds for our custom home and some were big a** blinds. The first time around they didn't work out they rippled really bad in the living room and kitchen so they got new blinds ordered and installed and the second set were still rippling in the living room and still didn't look good, so they were reordered for a third time but we decided to try a different material and they worked out just perfect. I love their business model of making things right and going out of their way to do it. I would highly recommend them if you are on the fence, do it, so totally worth it, you can't go wrong! Thank you Tracey, Ann and Jim.

Excellent love my blinds

Ordered 3 new blinds from Budget Blinds ( Kilmarnock branch). Fitting booked for 19/11/24. When the fitter came (company owner) he immediately noticed a problem with the door blind….door wouldn’t open wide enough. He ordered a new one on the spot and was back with a new one within 4 hours. Fantastic service and blinds look great. I would highly recommend Budget Blinds.

I was very impressed with this company. They measured all my windows, let me choose from a good variety of colours then quoted me a very reasonable price. Within a couple of weeks they returned to fit them exactly when they said they would and the blinds were fitted quickly and professionally. I would certainly recommend Budget Blinds them and I would use them again

Great service and fitted quickly by Mark would highly recommend to all

I purchased faux wooden blinds for my house in 2017/2018. Unfortunately, the sun fried the blinds on my south-facing windows. I ended up getting my windows tinted. I was able to have the fried blinds replaced for no cost under the lifetime warranty. Excellent customer service! I will use Budget Blinds again in the future.

Turned up and just complained about windows not being square,left after measuring up saying will ring later in day with quote and and haven't been back in touch. Absolutely pathetic if they didn't want the job should just said when measuring instead of been left waiting.

Wrong blinds ordered due to reps misunderstanding. Replacement immediate, higher quality, no quibble, no difficulty. Customer service of the highest quality. Highly recommended.

Horrible customer service. Their salesperson wears revealing clothes and made me and my husband uncomfortable. The Lady doesn’t have to show up with his breasts showing for a sale. Its cheap

They are like a Virus... relentless emails. Blocking them, they just us a different email.

I have used the company for many years now. Very prompt service and very competitive prices. Would highly recommend.

The representative was very knowledgeable and explained the entire process. My order came in early and the installer had the shutters up in less tan an hour. I highly recommend Budget Blinds.

Emailed to get someone to measure and quote for our full house to have new blinds. This was done promptly and within 2 weeks I received my blinds and got them fitted at the same time. This is the second time I have used budget blinds and I love how thorough they are. Very happy.

Just got my blinds fitted today .Great price and great service. Would recommend

I first used Budget Blinds in 2018. When I was finally ready for additional window treatment upgrades in 2024, I called Budget Blinds. They remembered me and willingly came to the rescue. Great customer service from the initial contact all the way through installation. Highly recommended.

Excellent professional service.Quick efficient work by the fitter.Both men very pleasant.
