Blinds - online ordering would you do it? Have you done it?

[MargoLivebetter]

I need a fairly standard roller blind. Any recommendations for blind companies that you can order from online by sending through your window measurements? I've never done it before but unless i'm missing something, it looks like a fairly straightforward options. Anyone out there done it themselves? All suggestions and recommendations gratefully received.

Lots of companies, Blinds Direct is one I have used. Really simple service.
Some let you pay a small insurance amount in case you mess up the measurements.

We used Blinds2Go - very straightforward and no issues

Don't use Blinds Direct whatever you do - or at least have a good look at their reviews online before you order. My blinds were horrible - cheaply made, not the right size, awful. They keep asking you for videos and photographs and never actually resolve. Worst customer service I have ever come across.

I’ve used Blinds Direct. First one was totally the wrong size, bearing in mind that DH’s job means working with precise measurements. They replaced it. Risked buying another one, didn’t fit. I wouldn’t risk it again.

We’ve used Blinds2Go a couple of times. No issues.

I've also used Bilnds2Go, twice. The blinds (4 roman and 1 roller) are beautiful and a really good fit. I'd very happily use them again.

We’ve used blinds2 go without issue

Blinds2Go are good, and you can pay a little extra in case you mis-measured.
Get yourself a decent metal tape measure.

Dunelm are good. You need to cut to size when it arrives but it's pretty straightforward.

I’ve used blinds to go to do my whole house, measure, measure and measure again and you’ll be fine!

I recently used 24 7 Blinds, they were the cheapest and the blinds turned up decent, fitted the windows fine etc.

I've used blinds to go for perfect fit and they are fine.

They did have an issue where they were tying up the strings too tight and they were impossible to undo, but they fixed that for me FOC. I would recommend them, they do seem to be willing to engage and sort out issues.

Also used Blinds2Go and they have been fine, just double check your measurements

Blinds2Go it is then! Thank you all. Just placed my order.

I've used blinds 2 go and wouldn't really recommend them based on their customer service. One day the top of the venetian blind completely snapped in half and the whole unit fell down on me, but they tried to tell me it was from wear and tear. I've had much older blinds that haven't broken apart and I would've been really angry if that heavy blind had fallen on one of my kids. The ordering process was easy enough and the blinds look good but it seems like they're not made to last

I’ve used Blinds2go a lot. I’ve had their Roman blinds and perfect fit and used them in 2 houses my current house every window has blinds from
them . Measuring is easy I just measured a coiple
of times to make sure I was right. They arrived quickly and were easy to put up. They’re really good quality as well and lovely material
I recommend them to everyone and they send out the samples quickly too and usually free/pay postage

I recently used 24 7 Blinds for some honeycomb ones which I’m really happy with. They offer a measuring insurance type thing - 10% of the price and they’ll redo them if they don’t fit

We’ve used Blinds2Go often and over the last few months have had 3 roller blinds, 3 zebra blinds and 5 Roman blinds. We used them in our previous house too.

Blinds Direct, Hilary’s and Ukblinds are all online shops I’ve used and all have been great. Custom roman blinds rather than roller though.

Don't forget that you can order samples for free. Its very handy to see the actual colour/pattern and check how black out they are etc.

Dunelm

Terry's Fabrics, they were fab(ric).

I’ve used 24/7 blinds a lot and they’re really good.

Used Blinds2go on our past 2 houses and they've been great really impressed with them.
