blinds – we found brad to be very professional and the best price for our blinds could not ask for a better job

Warning total scam of a company do not use them – I have ordered my blinds and paid a 50% deposit after 5 months stock has not arrived waiting for further 3 months stock arrived, 3 weeks later installer come out to install totally wrong colour and wrong product, I asked him to return all product back and supply the correct product that I ordered, trying to talk to anyone in the company was total… Read more

waste of time they were all trained liars one would say something which the other would disagree. Leaving numerous amount of messages to talk to the owner no response or call back from anyone. Trying to talk to the owner [name removed] he was never in the office or available to answer any questions, after complaining they said I had to wait another 3 to 5 months, I disagreed and asked for my deposit back they refused. After talking to FAIR TRADING they new about this company and the owner. They could not help me either. I was asked to take LEGAL action. Do not use this company at all they are a big fraud.

DO NOT USE THEM - PAY THE EXTRA – If I could I would give a minus 10 rating. Like all other stories on this company , mine is the same. The installer came at 4.30pm to do the job , which took 3 hours. After taking the plastic protection strip off the plantation shutters - there were pencil marks on them ?? The owner could not advise how that occurred. I wish I had paid the extra… Read more

$300.00 to get real professionals to do the job. The plantations shutters were not installed correctly & I was told that , that is how it is. They did not try to fix or anything. 10 year guarantee - what a farce. As soon as I mentioned the company's name to Fair Trading , they knew all about the company & the complaint I was going to make. The company should not only be closed but a substantial fine imposed on all the owner/s.

The Worse Blinds Company in Sydney – This company and the owner/director [name removed] need to be shut down. It is the worse blind and shutter shop in Sydney. How he gets away with his thievery is beyond me. It defies belief how they are still in business. I too had the same problem as everyone here. I made my order, as soon as the deposit was taken, complete silence. Over… Read more

promises made and complete under delivery or actually, non delivery. You call, no one answers, no one calls you back if you manage to speak to someone, you speak to [name removed] and get told complete lies; tomorrow and next week never comes, the boat is always late etc etc. The funniest one was being told after three months they had no record of my order and could I tell him again what it was for. The best thing for me is that after four months, I never received my order at all. At least I didn't have to deal with sub standard products or workmanship.

I too went to Fair Trading who are absolutely useless. Fortunately for myself I had paid my deposit on my credit card. You then lodge a disputed transaction with your credit card company, they will investigate and I ultimately got my money back. On top of that, which is what you all need to do, is lodge an Application with NCAT (NSW Civil and Administrative Tribunal) on what your issue is; undelivered orders, broken and damaged products, faulty service etc. I went to NCAT for my hearing and guess what, [name removed] never appeared for the hearing. What a surprise. NCAT make legally enforceable orders that then allow you to engage the local court to have a Sheriff recover your money or have your items fixed or replaced as per the terms of your order. This thief needs to be stopped and the only way he will be stopped is through the legal channels available to us as consumers.

Some of the people on here say that the business is closed down. It is not closed, [name removed] has a warehouse/office two doors up from his shopfront, he also operates another blinds business from the same premises. He is in constant hiding and on top of that, his business is still registered with ASIC. He continues to trade and continues to rip unsuspecting people off of their money.

As we all say here, DO NOT DO BUSINESS with this company.

BUYER BEWARE!!! – Buyer beware! We had shutters put into my elderly mother's house in late December 2018. They sent out a salesman who made us feel very comfortable and assured us that we would have a 10 year warranty. The fitter damaged the frame of one shutter and fixed it with some kind of resin/epoxy but the result looks terrible. A few days after the shutters… Read more

were fitted, one section of blades broke so that we have to close 3 blades individually. I contacted the company immediately and sent photographs of both faults. I phoned the company repeatedly and was always given a promise that someone would come out to rectify the problems. My brother in law visited their factory twice and was promised that they would come and fix the shutters. Fair Trading who were of no help and said they have lots of complaints about Elite Blinds and Shutters but in the end were unable to help us as the company refused to deal with Fair Trading and ignored them. 9 months later we are left with unprofessionally work and shutters that don't work as they should. This has been very distressing for my elderly mother. Deal with this company at your peril and know that you will have no redress if anything goes wrong.

Property damage then gone quiet – I’m not sure where to begin with this company. Our only contact was the owner who had a different excuse each time as why order wasn’t fulfilled. Despite have constant communication with them 3 months out from home settlement. Finally shows up 2 weeks late from agreed date. Then contractor tries to install fly screen from outside of the house… Read more

with a screwdriver and physically damage a 2 week old property.

Had to kick them off the property. Then owner shows up and makes excuses. Over a month has past and after agreeing to pay Stegbar to come and repair the window owner has disappeared. Won’t answer calls and office is no longer answering phones.

Have found out that they have been “kick out” of their premises.

Some shutters are broken and blinds are already fraying and we paid for “upgraded quality”. I have no warranty options as no one answers the phones.

This industry has a lot of cheats and this is no exception. Lining their pockets first and driving around in expensive cars but unable to provide basic warranty service.

Not sure if ACCC can help here. Fair trading was no help.

Don't fall for Elite Blinds.... You will lose your peace of mind! – Can't go below 1 star so have to give them 1. ...We had a horrible experience with them. They are prompt in taking the advance, but can't keep up with their delivery times. They told they will be arriving to install the blinds, never turned up. After calling them multiple times, no response and then phone was switched off. We wasted 6 days, after… Read more

repeated commitments on each of the day saying they will come and install and never turned up. Highly unprofessional, and forget about understanding customer requirements or needs. Finally, we had to cancel our order and now will be taking them to Fair Trading. Worst decision to go with them...

AVOID LIKE THE PLAGUE – I like most others have had nothing but a bad experience from this mob, I echo all the bad comments from other dissatisfied people who have been conned. My wife and I actually went to their office on two occasions and were given assurances that all was good with a booked installation date, no one turned up and no phone call. This happened 3 times so I too am taking my complaint to fair trading. Be warned, dont deal with them. Paul Show details

Scam company – This company is a fraud. The guy Tahir owning this company is biggest fraud. He took more than 50% payment in beginning of year. His staff and him kept lying and delaying installation- everytime new reasons. Didnt pick up calls, if ever picked gave false promises. Never was available to meet. When finally caught him, he was totally opposite to… Read more

what he promised. For last 4 months, he had been promising he will do installation and then no one turned up..everytime some wierd reason. He promised us that he will do installation and then take rest of the payment. But now he is asking for full payment before installation.we found recently their office is closed as they owe lot of money to premises they had office lease and to supplier of their shutters. When we asked to refund our money, he is not refunding our money even. Dont go by this man's talks, he is a big fraud. Be careful! Dont go for them.

Stay Away From This Company – After reading the unfavourable reports on this company the people who gave them 5 stars either gave false reports not verified reports or were extremely lucky to get good service. Every thing the bad reports mention echoes in my experience so there’s no need to repeat all over again. All I can say is avoid this Company like the Plague. I gave them one star but really they deserve NO Stars. Show details

A mistake I would never repeat – I ordered my shutters and blinds in January'19 and was told that it will get installed in March (6-8 weeks) as they have to come from China. I waited until end of March and called them back but no one picked up. I personally went to their showroom, but again only the sales person was available. He told me that the order has got delayed and they… Read more

will not be able to deliver before mid-April. I was still alright, because atleast it will come soon. End of April I got finally got a call that they will come and install in 2nd week of May. But, on the day of installation I got a call that the installer has called in sick so they have to reschedule. They said that someone will come back to me to reschedule it, but till now no one has called back, it's been 3 days. I called them again and they said that someone will come back to me by end of today, but again no response. Their site says that they open till 6pm, but at 5pm, no one is picking up calls. Very very poor customer service and worst management I have ever seen from a reputed firm. I hope my money is not lost in vain and they install my blinds and shutters. Otherwise I will have to go to Fair-Trading. Please please please don't go with them.

Dissatisfied and unhappy customer – 14 weeks to delivery and installation after paying the deposit and turned out the wrong color and poorly installed. Called the salesperson to inspect the installed shutters, agreed to compensate me and get the installer to fix the issue, Its been 2 weeks since the meeting, never returned my calls and responded to my messages. Unprofessional staff.

Great service – I'm really surprised at the negative reviews. (Clearly I didn't read this before choosing Elite Blinds and shutters) Our shutters look great and work well, and the price was competitive. Staff were friendly and knowledgeable. My Plantation Shutters were installed in 3weeks time I was surprised that made in Australia were affordable and I was… Read more

also impressed that the person who quoted, when I asked about putting shutters in another room, gave me an honest answer about a cheaper alternative being better.

I will recommend definitely!

Great work – We had a great experience with the staff from Elite Blinds & Shutters. Very keen to assist with all our queries and any concerns. Hassam who undertook our measure and quote was prompt, very informative and helpful. The installation was right on queue too, with the installer Zee ensuring he notified us when he was on his way. Zee was quick, careful… Read more

Shutters and Outdoor Awmings – I was anxiously waiting for my outdoor awnings and plantation shutters. After a wait of 5 months, it turned out to be a big stuff up where the sizes are incorrect and quality is poor. They have taken 75% of the order money as "CASH" and now asking for another 2 months wait. What can I say....unprofessional MOB. Full of lies. Hardly answer the calls and keep ignoring.

Customer Service on flyscreens – I had ordered flyscreens in Oct 2016. It is now April 2017 and my part delivery is still ongoing. They have messed up fittings, installation, colour, visits. They have taken my money in full and still I have problems. I have 2 flyscreens that are still pending (1 incorrectly measured, 1 incorrect colour frame). They keep putting off visits, today… Read more

were supposed to come out for delivery of these and haven't turned up. Rang me to say they could come out on Sat and measure! (I don't need measurements - I need delivery). Tradeperson said nothing on his paperwork so he was not aware that he was supposed to deliver and not measure. This company is AWFUL - do not go with them. They will stuff you around. They don't seem to have a clue as to what they are doing.
