Blind city- company in liquidation – Paid for blinds in full. Called for update and they have shut down all communication, disconnected phones etc I lost a lot of money and this is not ok. Why keep taking money knowing you were going out of business days later?! My advice to affected customers if you paid by credit card (debit or credit) is lodge a chargeback. Show details
Theif, liar, scammer – Ordered blinds paid over $2000 deposit, couldnt get in touch with them, shocking communication, now disconnect their phones..... complete con man!!

Quality venetians at a great price! – I recently purchased three custom-made venetian blinds from Blinds City for my lounge and was absolutely thrilled with the results! The dimensions were perfect, shipping was fast and the colour was spot on! Best price I could find from a few quotes too! I'll be ordering more to finish the rest of the house! Show details

Happy customer! 5 stars! – Hats off to the Team at Blinds City! From the consultation until instalment, they were very responsive and had good communication with us. Pierre was very helpful and doesn't give false hopes, only realistic honest opinion which was what we wanted. He's also friendly and professional at the same time. They offered competitive prices, which was… Read more
important. The installation of our plantation shutters happened by Christmas and we're very happy (and lucky!). Quality products and made here locally. They were installed professionally and without any issues. I wouldn't hesitate recommending them to my family and friends! Thanks Pierre and Blinds City!
Reliability, honesty and a great job – We bought plantation shutters, honeycomb blinds and roller blinds from Blind City after a personal recommendation for Pierre, it has completely modernised our home. They all look great! We couldn’t be happier! Show details
Easy from start to finish! – I purchased blinds for our ensuite after stumbling across the blinds city website while in the process of purchasing from another website as I was wanting to find a clearer photo of the blinds. I was unsure if I wanted to spend the extra on 63mm slats over the 50mm and found blind city’s 63mm slats were the same price as the other company’s 50mm… Read more
slats. I was hesitant at first being such a saving but the blinds arrived within the week and are fantastic quality. I can’t wait to order for our main bathroom, toilet and laundry now.

Feeling happy with my roller blinds! – I have been in contact with Pierre - the owner - from the very beginning to get the quotes, together with other suppliers'. I would say that he has a very good customer service skill by gently following up with me without pushing too much :-) After carefully considering all the quotes, I've decided to go with BlindsCity, not because theirs was… Read more · 1
the cheapest but I highly appreciated Pierre's commitment and willingness to provide his best service to the clients, especially when I ordered the double roller blinds during the peak time of the year - just before Xmas. He finally delivered his promise by installing the full set nicely at my home a few days before Xmas! My thanks also to Darren - the installer - for his great workmanship and experience in installing the blinds with nice shape! Although there was a bit of hiccups during the communication with them but the whole experience with BlindsCity and the end products they delivered outweighed it, which I would strongly recommend their service to those who are in need of a beautiful set of double roller blinds for your sweet home!
EXCELLENT!!! – We could not be happier with both the service and the product. BlindsCity helped us achieve the desired look with plantation shutters that complemented our reno perfectly.... at a fraction of the price the competitors quoted AND without compromising on quality. We cannot thank or recommend Pierre and the team at BlindsCity enough for helping us… Read more · 1
create the look we wanted and complete our home. It was the perfect finishing touch and looks absolutely stunning! The time and attention to detail provided during both the measure/quote and the fitting made it clear the only thing different was the price. BlindsCity exceeded our expectations, giving us an exceptional product, professional and courteous service and at a fraction of the price others had quoted. Who would've thought ordering from an interstate company would be easier and more cost effective than buying locally... Although the company is based in Victoria they have QLD based staff ready to measure, quote and fit their products. Def worth a look if you are looking for a quality product at a fraction of the price the locals charge.Thanks again!!! Will definitely be telling anyone that will listen to visit BlindsCity :-)
Poor Customer Service, Bullies... look elsewhere – I am reposting a review I originally posted several weeks ago after making my Blind City review. I was bullied into removing my original 1 star review by the business, having received a number of emails about removing it that said (direct quote) 'you have 24 hours to remove your review'. At this time the business was processing my order for blinds… Read more
and plantation shutters and I was extremely concerned that the product I was going to receive would be affected if I did not remove the review so I did so.
I originally contacted Blinds City with a competitors quote. I emailed this to them and said the following 'I have a competitors quote however your colour options are better and you have colours for plantation shutters that they do not offer, can you match this quote with those colours?'' The reply I got to this was 'definitely! we can BEAT it'. We emailed back and fourth a number of times. I screen shot in the quote I received, at which time the admin said not a problem and told me how to process my order. My new house was due to be completed in a number of weeks and so I had no time to waste with processing the order. I processed it online as I had been instructed, to commit to the buy and then they would update the total price. After committing to the sale I get an email saying that 'the colour you have selected is more expensive, and that the competitor charges delivery for which we do not so we have to increase the price'. I was a annoyed at this point having spent several days going back and fourth and wasting a whole lot of time. I could not have made my original email more clear and yet the staff rather than acknowledging their mistake, that they had committed to something they possibly shouldn't have, continued to deny what was written in plain old english and said that the 'colours were different' etc etc. Please let me know this was for the plantation shutters - for which are all listed as the same price per square metre on their website. I advised the staff to cancel the order, to which I continued to recieve emails saying 'why' and essentially telling me I was wrong that their prices were better etc. etc. At the end of the day what I can say is that the staff i was dealing with were rude, condescending and unable to admit their own faults. All they would have had to do was have said 'look, we didnt notice you asked for different colours that what the competitor was quoting at the time of saying we would accept the price, our mistake' for me to be happy with it. They also made me feel like the nearly $3000 sale was of less value because I chose the interest free Zip Money offer. I'm sorry but if you dont want customers to choose an interest free option, do not offer it. A sale is a sale. And a $3000 sale is a decent one at that. At this time I decided I would accept their price and process the order because I truly could not be bothered fighting with them anymore, nor could I afford to waste more time after wasting several days going back and fourth with them. I processed the order and submitted my product review.
I would say the following to anyone who is a potential Blinds City customer: go elsewhere. iseekblinds and blindsonline have better original pricing and a lot better customer service. I have since ordered another $2k of roman blands with iseekblinds. I still have over a half a house of window furnishings to buy and I will not go anywhere near Blinds City again. I know that they will respond to this review and once again not admit their fault, try and lie and show that it was all my fault... They seemed to have a huge problem with me not wanting to talk over the phone when things started turning pear shaped. I advised them i work full time, run a business and have young children and simply do not have the time. That is largely why i decided to purchase ONLINE and prefer to correspond by email, if i wanted to talk to someone I would have gone into a store and bought in person. Online and email is convenient for my lifestyle. I am glad I did so so that I have the proof to show friends and family the way I was treated so they don't make the same mistake that I did. For my parents who are currently building a house and looking for plantation shutters to the value of nearly $10k and who had ordered samples from Blinds City, I couldn't be happier that I had this experience to save them the time and hassle.

Great price, great product – Online ordering process was simple and easy to navigate. Took 2-3wks between ordering and having the product delivered, which is fantastic. I ordered 63mm PVC Venetians, and the quality and finish of the blinds is faultless. I chose the DIY option, and whilst simple enough to install, I'd suggest including bracket screws, and a simple one page… Read more
guide to get people started and let them know where the sticker is detailing the dimensions of each blind. Immediately there was a very noticeable difference to each room, thanks to the fresh and crisp window furnishings.
Excellent Service & Price !! – We had shopped around for a few quotes for block out blinds for our bedrooms and plantation shutters for the lounge. By far, Blinds City's quote came up tops. I was a little hesitant in the beginning but was very quickly put at ease as their product quality and service were second to none. Highly recommended !! Show details
Negative reviews
I just want to cry – today my curtains were due to be installed after 10 weeks, booked in last Wednesday with final payment made on Thursday as instructed and per conditions. as soon as I paid the final amount no one would return my calls to confirm time for today. had 3 numbers for them and left heaps of messages and just called all 3 numbers again an hour ago and they are all disconnected. They have gone with my money :(
They new they are going but still collecting money from hard working families. This is scam! – They gave us a discount before the financial year on June 25, 2022 and we paid over $3000.00 deposit. The owner came to take measurements and now they have gone under liquidation. Please do not buy from this company I am warning you they are scammers. Show details
Absolute Disgrace – Order aluminium plantation shutters in May 2022. Rang several times and messaged constantly told i will get a call the following day from [Name Removed] the boss, this went on for weeks. I went to follow them up again today all numbers disconnected so started doing my searching appears im not the only one that has been scammed. An absolute disgrace that this company Blind City would take innocent peoples money Show details

Scammed. Took our deposit and said nothing – Waited for blind install after paying deposit. No phone call or email. Website down with lies about being under construction. Phones are cut off no longer in service. I want my money back. Show details
Took deposit days before closing the company – Blinds City took our $7500 deposit for blinds only days before liquidating the company Blinds City. Why take a deposit days before going into liquidation? Surely the Blinds City knew they were going to liquidate the company yet they were still taking deposits for blinds just before he closed the company. This is not right
Work half done and disappeared – Quote was given to me around Mid 2021 and I okayed it. Half of the blinds were installed in November-2021 and then the other half of the windows were left out. I am chasing then Since Dec-2021 and today is August-2022 and no response so far :(
Took out money and ran!!!!! such a low act in these hard times! – Ordered blinds months ago with over 5k deposit. not answering phones and website is down. Seeing other reviews I now know why. Will be looking into legal action against [Name Removed]. I hope he never opens up under a new name to scam more people

They have now gone into voluntary liquidation – We paid our deposit with blind city 3 weeks ago. [Name Removed] came to our house, measured up and happily took our $5.3k deposit.

everything we can to get our money back. Legal action will be taken, what you did was scam us. You stole from us.
They have taken my money and ran No blinds all phone numbers disconnected so annoyed u got no idea – Cant contact company phones disconnected I want my money back
Took my deposit and ran! – Paid a 2k deposit in May and heard absolutly nothing about my job! They will not answer any calls and now their phones are disconnected. Time to take legal action against these scammers!
Do not order for here – To say I am very unhappy with the process is an understatement. Almost impossible to get a response after you have paid and confirmed your order. I have left numerous messages only to get a text promising to call you back which doesn't happen. It has been over a month with no firm date for delivery, even though we specified we needed the blinds installed for an upcoming event. If you do use them do not pay upfront with Zip Pay.

Avoid at all costs – Name has been changed so I am not bullied anymore to remove my reviews. Do not use blinds city. [Name Removed] will find any excuse time and time again. Measured 5 separate times and still could not get the sizing of shutters correct. Damaged the floor of my brand new house. Ongoing saga for over a year. Won't call you back when he says he will.… Read more
Uses covid as excuse, yet other people were having things installed. Takes your money up front, promises to return some funds due to their stuff up, never received. Blocks you from social media so you can't review and tell people the truth. Says replacements will be sourced locally not the case. Used my single garage as storage for someone else's order. Stressed, ripped off and heart broken! Will be taking matter further!

Excellent product and pricing – we did the DIY option to save money. The whole process was very easy from measuring to ordering the blinds and the installation was much easier than we had expected. we are very happy with the end result and would definitely purchase again. Highly recommend this company. Show details
Quality Blind, ordered and delivered without fuss – The selection and ordering process was simple as well as a good price. Constant communication with delivery on time. Recommended blind seller. Show details
Great assistance, perfect fit & result – We needed blackout blinds for the business due the glare on the computer screens and privacy. Pierre assisted us with everything we needed to suit our needs. The Blinds were the perfect fit and ridiculously easy to fit. Highly recommend Blinds City and can't praise them enough. Show details
