      Complaint Type:
      Product Issues
      Status:
      Resolved
      Last year I entered a Shade Store and began discussions about outfitting my bedroom with room-darkening roller shades. On 2/29/2024, I entered an order (#*********) for 3 shades. These were custom measured by a professional, but I extended (wider and longer) to make sure there was extra coverage and to balance out the coverage for the 3 windows (one is a door with a handle). The shades arrived and were professionally installed by a Shade Store installer on April 16th. The shades hang over an inch from the glass and now let not only LIGHT in but also do not provide privacy from SIGHT (1st-floor bedroom). I am trying to work with the company, but I don't see how they can fix this issue. I want a refund. Their website still says, "ACHIEVE COMPLETE DARKNESS" and "Our Blackout Roller Shades offer you complete darkness from morning to night. Perfect for media rooms and bedrooms."

      Worst merchant experience I have ever had. Installed all eight of my shades incorrectly in October of 2023 and in spite of constant visits, calls and emails, they have made no effort to resolve the situation even though their installer came back twice to remeasure and told them the shades were unusable. They simply don't care. After several months, they gave the lame story that the fabric was not available and I called three showrooms to find out that it was available. Then they lost the new measurements and pictures. Stall, stall, stall. They have production, quality control and customer service issues that run across all areas of their business. Run do not walk and never give them money upfront or you take the chance of nothing being resolved. They do not stand by their product. One star since you can't do this review without a star. Otherwise there would not be any stars.
