  I placed my order with Select Blinds on 08.01.22, total price for order was $479. I ordered the Top Down/Bottom Up, Light Filtering/Blackout Trishades. After installing one of them I realized that the it only allows for Light Filtering OR Blackout on the top part. The point of Top Down Bottom Up Cellular shades is providing privacy without completely blocking your view or the light coming in. I had an old roller shade on the window before and this is basically the same thing. The cellular shades are called TRI shades as in THREE. I don't think having the cellular shade completely pulled up, should be considered a third option, as obviously any shade can be pulled up to see out of! I emailed the company and they aren't going to refund me, which would allow me to order the shades I thought I had ordered. It's upsetting because this was a large financial purchase for me, and I was so excited to finally replace the old roller shades. Also, I ordered 2 cellular shades from them in February 2022, and had planned on ordering more cellular shades in the future for the rest of my windows. I included that information in my email to customer service, but being an existing customer and future customer is not important to **********************. I don't have oddly sized windows, they could easily allow me to return these. I haven't even hung the second one up. I'd like to add that I read through some reviews on their site and found a review from 2014 had the same complaint as me, so their description on the site hasn't been clear to customers for EIGHT years! In fact numerous other customer reviews cited the same complaint as me.

  ****** did not match the sample we received. Looks completely different than the website images as well. Has tons of dark fibers that were not clearly advertised. Backing is very thin making this defect more apparent. **************** will not offer refund or even a store credit. Buyer beware. Glad we only ordered for one room and not the whole house yet. $502.32 lost with this company.

  *********************** <********************>5:19 PM (11 minutes ago)to me I ordered simple manual blinds through SelectBlinds.com on August 9, 2022 (order #*******). The company's website says that SelectBlinds.com will make blinds in 3-5 business days (so should be 8/15/2022-8/17/2022. But when I paid for the order, they said that the Estimated Ship Date was 8/19/2022. Such small delay was OK for me.The company informed me on 8/11/22 that they started the production of my blinds. On 8/19/2022 they said that production is going. I asked when I will get the product and answer was "it will be ready for shipment on 8/29/2022". On 8/26/2022 SelectBlinds.com informed me that the estimated shipment date will be September 30,2022, so 1.5 month after my order!I talked to the company customer service on 8/26/2022, and the rep. said that it is only estimation not the promise.It seems that SelectBlinds.com treat their blinds as kind of ****** 777 with very long production cycle. I doubt that their product is so complicated. I guess the company purposely misinform customers on lead time in order to have orders.

  Order #: ******* Date Placed: 6/25/2022 Items: 5 Total: $751.44 *** tracking: 1Z0130XY0465738610 Upon seeing both cardboard boxes, we immediately noticed the mishandling the packaging experienced on route (please refer to attached pictures). Evident holes were seen throughout the outside packaging, torn outside tape, and badly dented areas that penetrated into the shades themselves were all noted on both cardboard boxes. We had hoped the shades were not affected, but unfortunately we discovered several issues with the shades themselves. Of the products themselves: several of the shades were not protected entirely by the bubble wrap and appeared to be stuffed into the box: affected: Size: 38 1/4" w x 67 1/2 h (both shades) Shipping and handling precautions were not taken. Because of the neglectful state of both packaging, this left several of the shades badly wrinkled, liners and threads mangled affected: Size: 38 1/4" w x 67 1/2 h (both shades), and all of the shades have a dirty scuffed up appearance to random areas that I can not seem to get off no matter what method I used. Affected shades: Size: 38 1/4" w x 67 1/2 h (both); Size: 21" w x 64 h (both); and Size: 49 1/4" w x 64 h. Two of the shades have mechanical issues, as noted: Two shades threads are so mangled, we are unable to properly open them on both sides (think diagonal uneven opening) affected: Size: 38 1/4" w x 67 1/2 h (both shades). More mechanical issues experienced with the corded shades: (see one of the picture noted) one side will not advance any further half way down rendering it useless and another shade drops as you advance it halfway (we are unable to keep this shade open only half-way, it drops the entire way): affected shades: Size: 21" w x 64 h (both). There are some lightly torn areas throughout the Size: 49 1/4" w x 64 h shade. Multiple correspondance with this company took over one month and I have waited one month to receive their promised shipping label.

  On 8/18/2022 I ordered 2 identical dimension blinds. One was several inches too wide and the other one was too short. After contacting one of there chat people I was told to send several photos of each blind using measuring devices so they can evaluate my complaint. All I want is to return both blinds for a refund but they claim they don't do refunds. I'm a senior and I really don't know how to send photos in emails. My order #******* and my purchase order # is ***********. Thanks,*******************

  

  Business Response

  We're sorry that this happened. When the blinds are claimed to be made wrong, we simply ask for a photo (rather than having to pick it up) and this allows us to quickly remake it on the spot. Our management team will be reaching out to guide you through this and help make things right.

  I had opened a complaint previously and my complaint was closed without resolution. The company had agreed to send me a new motor for the blinds and remote. It has been a month and a half and still nothing. I want my money back. The company will not do anything they promise. They want me to purchase a box to ship it back in. I do not have time to do that! I want them to make it right!

July 25th was told they would ship out next few days that never happend July 27th called and was told order was taking longer then expected Aug 2nd was told they were shipped out and would get a call back the next day with a shipping number - never got a call back Aug 11th was told they would ship Aug 15th and would get a call the 15th never happened Aug 16th was told they shipped Aug 2nd and would find the shipping information never heard back.Aug 18th was told there was a computer issue and our order was ship out that night. Got tracking number and was told they would ship overnight. Now on Aug 24th our order is being held at the local ***** and will not be delivered as they said Select Blinds told them not to delivery until the first week until September. I have asked many times to speak to a manager the only time i was able to speak with one was on 8/24/22. This is a mess.

  It looks like ***** is having problems delivering this package to your home. We truly apologize for this and will be contacting you and ***** to get this rectified. Please work with our management team and we will rush out a new shipment if ***** is not able to get this to you quickly.

  Customer Answer

  There is no reason they should be having issues delivering to my home (I have deliveries to this address all the time and it is within city limits). They have the correct address which you told me was updated. When looking at the ***** app they show the correct address. This is not an acceptable response. 

  

  Business Response

  Date: 09/05/2022

  We've spoken to you today and it seems like everything has delivered and the remade blinds should arrive on Tuesday. Please contact us directly if further issues come up. We will help make things right!

  In 2020 I ordered and received eight sets of motorized blinds. In July of this year one of them failed. I called the company on 7/7/22 and was told it was covered under warranty but they weren't sure if the entire blind would need to be replaced or just the motor but said they would get back to me. I didn't hear from them so I called again on 7/18/22 and was told they were making a new blind and it would ship in a couple weeks. Again I hadn't heard from them so I called on 8/10/22 I was told that the blind had shipped in July and they would get back to me with tracking information. Still no word from them so I called back on 8/15, 8/16, and 8/18/22. Each time I was told they would find out what happened and you guessed it...get back to me. I have yet to receive a single return call or email with tracking information from them.

  Ordered Solar Dual Shades (Zebra Blinds) from Select Blinds on 6-07-22. Credit card charged $253.63. Order #********. Attempted to install for nearly 3 hours on 6-25-22, according to directions and video. Brackets are poorly designed for inside mount. Not enough clearance to use nut driver on hex head screws in plastic slot, making it near impossible to tighten. Real problem: plastic brackets don't snap in and can't pull tab with pliers, as instructions state. This is not possible since there is no clearance btw the wall and the blind. All 5 brackets broke/disintegrated. We stated the above in text messages, phone calls, and emails. They requested photos of brackets, then later requested a video demonstrating the problem, which we did on 7-08-22. We even gave a possible solution for a better, less complicated metal bracket. They supposedly sent this to their production facility. I have followed up multiple times and have been running around in circles with them. After requesting a refund 7/27 and 8/04, they offered store credit 8/05. Since I don't want a different type of blind, I figured I would just have to settle for a store credit, and maybe order a blind for my daughter's house. But even inquiring about a store credit, they said they needed me to donate the shade and get a donation receipt. ************** and ARC Thrift stores do not accept any blinds. I have emailed them 8/15 telling them I cannot donate and offered to send it back to them if they want to pay shipping and have it picked up. On 8/16 they just gave me another place to donate, which also does not accept blinds. I requested a refund for full **** $253.63 multiple times. Tired of the run around. Store credit is no longer acceptable. I don't want to deal with this company anymore. Hoping thru BBB I can finally get my refund. All future buyers beware! DO NOT ORDER FROM SELECT BLINDS!

  

  Business Response

  Date: 08/19/2022

  Our team tried to have this be a seamless exchange and we apologize that the donation route made it harder.  A pre-paid shipping label has been sent to you and we'll pay for this to be returned back to us for a full refund.  We'll inspect the product and make sure to take lessons away on how things can be improved.

  I have not yet received my refund. The item is in transit back to Select Blinds and they should receive it on Monday or Tuesday according to FedEx.  I will not accept this until my money has been returned.
