What reviewers often mention

🎯

Service quality

Delivery problems come up repeatedly, including missed slots, courier issues, and parcels that never arrived. Several reviews mention missing parts or incorrect measurements that meant the order had to be remade. At the same time, a separate set of reviews describes quick, practical support that fixed measuring issues and arranged replacements.

💰

Value for money

Many customers say prices are lower than other suppliers and describe the blinds as good value. Some also mention fast dispatch alongside the price advantage. Only a few comments question value, and those are usually linked to unresolved service problems rather than the price or materials.

User experience

Some reviews criticise the website guidance and fitting instructions as unclear or lacking detail. A number of customers report missing fixing screws or blinds that did not block light as expected. Others describe an easy ordering process and a quick, problem-free install with a perfect fit.

🔧

Product quality

Many reviewers praise accurate sizing, good materials, and a close fit to the window opening. Others point to manufacturing mistakes, such as blinds arriving longer than ordered or panels that do not fit around handles. Praise is more common overall, but there are repeated examples of faulty items that needed remaking.

📞

Communication

Many reviews describe weak communication after ordering, including emails not answered, calls not returned, and trouble getting invoices or refunds. Some also report account or access issues after payment and slow or missing replies from support. In contrast, other reviews highlight strong, proactive contact from staff who arranged fixes and replacements.

Overall experience

Reviews show a clear gap between satisfaction with the product and pricing, and frustration with delivery and after-sales help. Positive comments focus on fit, finish, and savings versus competitors. Negative comments focus on failed deliveries, unresolved returns, and lack of response, leaving a sharply split overall picture.
