• Cut to wrong size

  Ordered inside mount roller blinds. Product quality was fine but blinds received were too narrow. Looks like during manufacturing process the blinds were reduced in size causing them to not fit my windows properly. I had light gaps on each side of blind. If the blinds would have been made to the size of measurement provided they would have been just fine.

  Hello George, thank you for your feedback and I apologize that these shades did not fit as you had anticipated. As an industry standard there is a fabric deduction that is automatically applied to any type of shade made on a roller tube. This is so the tube can be suspended on either end by the brackets and that the fabric can roll up and down with ease without getting caught in the window. We have sent you a separate email with options available to you so that we can get you taken care of. I apologize for the inconvenience.

• Ok for what it is.

  The roller material is nice, but the hardware, especially the screws are not good quality and are too soft. The blind tracks to one side no matter what I do to fix it. It's livable right now since it's in my son's room, but I will probably throw it away in the next two years and buy something better.

• Not impressed.

  Ordered a wide and long blackout roller shade. Delivery was slow. There is a seam across the width of the blind that not only allows light through, but it catches on the window trim every time you lower the shade. There should be no seam! Installation instructions were less than friendly. Either my window is not plumb or the vinyl is not. Took several tries (using a level) to get the bottom edge to be the same length across the width of the window.

• No Valance

  My fault-I didn't read enough about the shade that the valance was only available with the original order, but now I have to either replace entirely, put up a curtain or leave it looking unfinished. A warning when I went to checkout would have been a good thing.

  Response from Blindster

  Hello Kay, I am sorry that the shade is not going to work for your application as is. I will give you a call and discuss some options for you.

• Deluxe Blackout Vinyl Roller Shades

  The measurements were accurate but when the shade came it was a mere fraction long which didn't allow me to mount the shade into the brackets. They say you can return their products if they don't fit but given how long it took to receive the original, I chose to grind the metal rod down myself until I was able to get it into the brackets. This made the installation processes take a couple of hours (the directions weren't very clear either). Also the chain mechanism that raises and lowers the shade doesn't operate very well at all.

• Deluxe vinyl roller shade with cassette valance

  The shade itself is fine, but the installation was ridiculously difficult. It was so tight we had to fight to get it in. The lift cord stop allowed several inches of shade to hang down when the shade was as far up as it would go. There were no instructions on how to fix this, so we tried one thing after another. If we set it so that the shade is entirely rolled up, it wouldn't roll back down. We finally compromised, because we were so frustrated that it was no longer worth the effort.

  Response from Blindster

  I'm sorry you had a problem with your shades. It is very important that you order roller shades using the width of the actual opening at the top of the window (only). I'm glad you were able to make the width work. The shade not being roller up properly is usually something that you can fix. I will contact you to see if that is possible. If not, we will remake the shade for you.

• Cheap looking fringe.

  With great reviews I expected better! The plastic is nice enough but the fringe is very shoddy with loose threads at the ends and a loop haging almost 2 inches below the fringe. Hope it doesn't unravel the rest if cut. There is also a brown thread sewn into my ivory fringe which looks like a very small stain but isn't. There were 2 small globs of gray glue on the shade itself which I scraped with my nail. Tried to wipe residue with damp towel but two spots remain. Want to know safe removal method. I tried to fit this shade on my old brackets but is was at least 1/4" short. To avoid hassle of return, I waited for installer who also put up roman shades ordered later. Used one of the brackets which came with the shade. The other was for the wrong side but he was able to use my old bracket on the right side. The gap between the wall and the shade using blindster bracket is about 1". Gap on right side smaller with old mount. Like material and reverse roll option. Don't buy ugly fringe!

  Response from Blindster

  I'm sorry you aren't happy with the shades. I will call you to see what can be done to get this taken care of.

• A pieced together shade

  My blinds were pieced together with horizontal seams , I'm returning mine since it looks like something from a thrift store .
