I ordered recess-fit roller blockout blinds and provided accurate measurements, however the blind supplied was manufactured smaller than the measurements given, so it does not correctly fit the window recess. The blinds are advertised as a DIY product, but installation in a brick house with a steel lintel is extremely difficult and unrealistic… Read more
for a DIY customer. Because the roller itself had been made short, the bracket could not be drilled into the brick as its too short to reach either side.
There was no warning or guidance during ordering that recess fit blinds would require drilling into a steel lintel, nor that this would be significantly more complex than a standard DIY install. This information should be clearly disclosed upfront.
Between the incorrect sizing and the impractical installation for a DIY product, the blinds are unusable for us. Very disappointing experience.
Further to this our sheers we ordered previously, the joiner bracket in the middle comes loose when opening them up. The joiner gets caught on the sheers which has made them collapse several times. I now don’t bother opening them because I’m afraid they will collapse.
I ordered sheers blinds in five seperate batches due to the size of the house and the number of windows in my house. I found that they didn’t arrive within 3 weeks on all occasions and generally took around five weeks. One the last batch I reach out to see if the could be done faster and was advised they could as it takes three weeks to make them… Read more
in the factory, which makes me wonder how they can’t advertise it only take two to three weeks to receive the curtains. Also, I found the hardware was not consistent and differed from one order to the next. This meant that some of the curtains sit lower and there’s a noticeable difference in the way the curtains look. I liked the fabric and can’t fault the quality of the fabric.
Very impressed by the ordering and processing- blinds arrived all Packaged up with quality packaging with rooms labeled on each tube / box - very impressed and details of which side to install the winder - took 5 min each blind to install - Way… Read more
above expectation of block out blinds- Cost $2035 and look triple that price… Did the whole house as a new build - Ordered 11 blinds . Very happy. Tried one from spotlight that was dented etc and wasn’t near the Quality.as 5 minute blinds. so returned it.
Follow-up · Easy to clean and if blind get bent from anything it goes back to normal Great for 95% block out - we have blinds rolling down on window frame. It’s good to have 5% light so body can still wake up to a little light Good thermal block too- have recommend to friends Very very happy with $2000 to fit our new 5 bedroom house and quality excellent I did try one from spotlight but very bad and cheaply made
Very happy with my purchase of the sheers from 5 minute blinds for our office fit out. Would definitely recommend! Show details

We had a few hiccups with delivery, but James went above and beyond to sort it out for us. It may have taken a bit longer than five minutes, but in the end, we got a great result. Looking forward to ‘dressing up’ the rest of the house! Show details
Did not meet “2-3 week delivery guarantee”, blinds are wrong size, 2 brackets were labelled incorrectly (realised when first was hung so they definitely were NOT 5 minute blinds), 1 bracket was wrong and 1 bracket was missing. Contacted to get the brackets sorted and was told they would be express posted that day when in fact they were sent five… Read more
days later. We then opened our curtains to hang and we do not have enough brackets as per their installations instructions - we’re missing one bracket if we’re just installing 700mm apart but missing two if we need the brackets close to the join as per their instructions. Now they are non communicative, refusing to respond in writing because we can no longer trust their word (after two phone calls where they said one thing and did another). Would not recommend and would rather just send back and get a refund because the worst thing is, we still have a couple of rooms we would need to order for. So either we’d have to order from here again to match, knowing how terrible their quality assurance and customer service is, or the rest of our rooms won’t match. Really disappointed with the lack of service. Mistakes happen, yes. However how you respond to issues is where it matters and 5 minute blinds have proven that they do not care about their customers or getting orders right.

We are super pleased with the blinds we purchased through 5 Minute Blinds! The order process was straight forward, so you didn’t need to be an expert to get it right. Once ordered, they arrived a week early, which was amazing. Installation was super easy, and they even included the right screws which are actually good quality which is rare… Read more · 1
compared to the tiny cheap ones that break off with the other brands I’ve used.
The prices are really reasonable compared to even off the shelf blinds that don’t fit correctly.
This was a fabulous experience! They answer their phones, answered all my questions, sent out good sized samples. The steps explaining how to take measurements are simple to follow. They were made in 2 weeks as promised and we received them within 24 hrs after. We are very impressed with the quality of the fabric and the working mechanisms. They… Read more · 1

An experience worth sharing – I've been on the hunt for the perfect blinds for my home office. After much browsing, I settled on the Seclusion roman blinds. The light filtering feature was a huge draw for me. The blinds arrived, and while installation took me a tad longer than expected (mostly due to my inexperience), the end result was stunning. The room feels warm and inviting now. I'm quite pleased with the overall experience. Show details · 1

Beyond my expectations! – I recently renovated my living room and decided on the Breeze Sunscreen roller blinds.
