Blinds 2 go

Has anyone used this company before? I have found some pretty reasonable wooden blinds but wary of having to fit them ourselves.

We've used them for all our blinds (venetian and roller) and found them to be very reliable and pretty easy to put up. We've tended to replace the in-wall fixing (plugs and screws) with various of our own - because we have dodgy walls and so sometimes have needed different lengths than provided and always needed plugs that are tougher than those they provide. other than that, though, no complaints.

Thanks @PawsAndPhytoncides - are they good with delivering times?

I recall they all took a couple of weeks - but all were delivered within the time estimates given.

We had one blind that was cut to the wrong size (out of about 9 we've ordered) and they rectified it very quickly.

We’ve also used them for custom Roman blinds and are very happy with them

They regularly have offers and delivery has been by UPS within 2-3 weeks

Phillipa12 · 01/12/2020 13:44

I use them all the time, just had a blind delivered by them, took 2 weeks from order to delivery.

Timbucktime · 01/12/2020 13:45

I’ve used them for some curtains and 4 Roman blinds, I’ve been very happy with all of them.
Now waiting for some double roller blinds to be made and delivered.

Diddlysquatty · 01/12/2020 13:46

I’ve been happy with them - used them for roller blinds and was much less faffy than cutting one to size from Homebase...
Also had Venetian blinds
I think they’re really good value

LennyLady · 01/12/2020 13:48

Highly recommend them. I've done my while house with blinds from them and they are fantastic quality. One of the blinds came in a Hilarys Blind box so I think it's Hilarys in another name

Ordered around 3 weeks ago and they came in 10 days

User24689 · 01/12/2020 13:49

We also used them recently. Really happy with the quality.

BunnyBonking · 01/12/2020 13:52

Have used them a few times and they've always been great.

Svalberg · 01/12/2020 14:19

We used them for a set of short-term replacement blinds. The runner was of a standard size so that we could use the fixings from the previous blind, they made a change from top fixing to side fixing without a fuss or charge as we did it before manufacture. We were kept informed re delivery, and they were easy to assemble once they arrived. Good for the price.

QuantumWeatherButterfly · 01/12/2020 15:15

Well this is all a relief - we've just ordered and I was hoping it wasn't a terrible mistake!

TeaAndHobnob · 01/12/2020 15:20

Yeah we've used them on a number of occasions, gradually all our windows are being covered with blinds from them! Never had a problem, and they all look great and were easy to put up (barring the usual faffing involved when drilling etc)

Beebumble2 · 01/12/2020 16:02

We’ve used them for all our blinds on both our houses and our DS has used them. Excellent every time, we have some very large ones on picture windows that are 8 years old, still as good as the day they we put up.

Ismellphantoms · 01/12/2020 16:59

I've only had one blind from them. My husband is a very precise engineer and measured it correctly. If came way too small. They were very rude, but did send another. I'd never use them again.

Mamette · 01/12/2020 19:26

We’ve had various blinds and curtains from them and they have always been perfect.

MrsJamin · 01/12/2020 20:59

Really easy and quick, good value!

Allsizes8to14 · 01/12/2020 21:02

We’ve used them multiple times for wooden Venetians and also for a black out roller blind. Have all been great and the blinds2go roller is better quality that one fitted by a local blind company 😊

SaveWaterDrinkGin · 01/12/2020 21:03

Had about ten wooden blinds from them, very pleased and good service. About to order curtains for the first time, hoping for the same experience.

Corner13 · 01/12/2020 21:08

We’ve used them a lot- always been very pleased

lookingatthings · 01/12/2020 21:12

I've used them- ordered in cm rather than In by mistake, 100% my fault and they still replaced them for the right size for me. Didn't hesitate to place subsequent orders after that, I was super impressed.

Ad3laid3 · 01/12/2020 21:15

We’ve used them in the past and always recommend to others.

IsayIsayBoy · 01/12/2020 21:21

Used this company for years, never had a problem with quality or service. Recently ordered curtains, very impressed with them too.

hamptonedge · 01/12/2020 21:36

We got replacement blinds for velux windows from them. The fit and work well.

nevergoingoutagain · 01/12/2020 21:42

We have wood effect Venetian blinds in 4 windows and a blackout blind on one from blinds direct. They are great, good quality. My dad fitted ours so can't help you there but a general handyman should be able to do it. Make sure you measure carefully!
