We’re very happy with our new curtains and shutters. The whole process was smooth from start to finish. Scott was knowledgeable, helpful, and made choosing the right options easy. Luke, the installer, did a fantastic job. He was professional, friendly, and took great care with the installation. The finished result looks excellent and has really improved the look and feel of our home. Highly recommend the team!

I had my shutters installed today by Luke. I am very impressed. I love the way they look and you can open them up for easy cleaning. I also love you can open and close different sections of them. I would definitely recommend them. Show details

I just had my outdoor blinds from Factory Direct installed by their installer, Rymi Installations. They look fantastic. Two weeks ago they also installed the plantation shutters in my brand new home. They are such a nice bunch of people to deal with. They’re an extremely professional and efficient team, plus they clean up when they’re finished.… Read more ·  1

I’m now waiting for the curtains to be installed and I’m so excited to finally block the hot sun streaming through the windows. I highly recommend this company.

Disappointing Service Delivery Salvaged by One Exceptional Employee Our experience with Factory Direct Blinds Shutters and Awnings (FDSAB) was initially one of extreme frustration and disappointment, leading to a significant damage control situation that should never have occurred. Our initial consultation was with Kim Mapperson, an automated… Read more ·  1

blind & plantation shutter sales consultant who claimed to have 10+ years of experience. We put our trust in her expertise, only to be left in a situation of costly damage control requiring higher authority intervention to repair the fundamental delivery failures of the project she oversaw.

The trust placed in her words was entirely unfounded based on the outcome.

The problems continued during the check measure when the employee, Sam, showed a complete lack of respect or accountability for the consultant's previous errors. His conduct during the process resulted in avoidable physical damage to our home, specifically damage to walls and a broken vase. Sam failed to bring this to our attention nor did he care to apologise for it.

This disrespectful service compounded the initial error and led to an extended and unnecessary time period toward resolution. The overall process became an immense headache, frustration, and disappointing experience.

However, the entire situation was eventually salvaged by Luke, an employee of FDSAB. Luke found himself in the unfortunate position of needing to execute the damage control and fix what the previous staff members could have easily prevented had they cared about the delivery process.

Luke did an amazing job in service delivery. His expertise, professionalism, and commitment to perfection were well above his pay level. He fixed the errors, handled the necessary repairs, and ensured the job was executed flawlessly. He is the sole reason this project reached an acceptable conclusion, and his effort stands as a stark contrast to the incompetence and carelessness demonstrated by his colleagues. He is a huge asset to your company. People like Luke are rare!

It was delightful to find and work with a company who has been nothing short of professional! We couldn't be happier with the end result, which we feel was definitely what the spaces needed. The outdoor blinds turned the patio space into a wonderful outdoor living area offering protection from the cooler weather, whilst giving the comfort of… Read more

additional privacy across a very large lounge/dining window/door combination expanse. The inside curtains also covered a very large bank of windows and has offered a look that significantly enhances the space. Our gratitude goes out to Lawren for the initial consults and to Ren, our amazing installer. Both their attitude and professionalism is a credit to the company and to themselves. Thank you, thank you for a wonderful experience.

exactly on time as advised at the time of placing the order. Ben, contacted us to make a time for installation and again right on time Ben arrived. He was absolutely brilliant and did a fabulous job. He was so careful in the house and cleaned up everything. Not a scrap of rubbish left anywhere. Can't recommend Factory Direct highly enough.

 Follow-up  · There was minimal disruption with the installation. Ben arrived on time and carefully worked away with installing the shutters. He was very careful and cleaned up afterwards. There was no mess to be cleaned up afterwards. We are thrilled with the shutters and the effects they have provided to the various rooms. They are so easy to adjust to vary the amount of light and privacy required. And best of all they are very easy to clean.

Kieran installed our shutters communication leading up to the installation was excellent, right up to calling when he was on the way. Highly recommended. Shutters look great only fitted today so cant comment on befits like sound and heat transmission. Would have rated 5 but delivery times from order to actual install can improve. Show details ·  1

 Follow-up  · Over a month and very happy with our shutters. Compared to roller blinds light control is fantastic, the room is quieter and cooler.

I would rate 5 stars if it were not for the long wait and hiccup with installation. Installer cancelled 5 mins prior to appointment and I had to follow up next morning. But for that, he rescheduled us that same day and did a perfect and prompt… Read more ·  1

screen installation, with which we are more than happy. Great product compared to the old former screen which was fixed. This one can be adjusted and has a slide function. Thank you again Factory Direct.❤️

Disappointed once again with the lack of simple customer service from this company. Purchased electric blinds for $9500 in December 2023. The remote has died after less than 2 years of use. We had to pay $165 for a service call before the technician could be booked. Paid the $165 on 6th June but wonder why as I would have expected this to be… Read more

covered under the warranty since the goods are not yet even 2 years old? Have called asking where our new remote is to be told its coming. Today I've called the 1300 number 8 times but no answer? Really fed up now. I do not recommend this company.

I posted a negative review two month ago. The owner contacted me and assured me he would look into my complaint and get back to me soon. Obviously soon in his opinion takes longer than two months. i am left wondering if he really meant it. Beware. Show details

Outdoor blinds – It took them over 4 months to install our blinds with lots of phone calls as they forgot us for nearly 3 weeks We came home from holidays and it still hadn’t been finished You have to pay them upfront for the materials and installation so they get interest on your money. Not happy with the process

I am updating my review to 4 stars following an excellent resolution by the company. After seeing the communication gap, Nigel (the General Manager) stepped in immediately to investigate. He was incredibly kind and got to the bottom of the issue, which turned out to be an isolated mishap within their external call center. Nigel personally ensured… Read more ·  2

everything was put right by arranging a prompt on-site visit and delivering our commercial quote. While the initial communication fell through, the exceptional leadership and customer service shown by the General Manager completely turned our experience around. It is clear they truly care about their clients, and we are happy with the end result.

Staff were all friendly and reliable from beginning to end. Got a quote booked in quickly and it came through the cheapest, and salesperson was most helpful. Took just over 6 weeks from check measure until contact for install. Installed and exactly what I wanted - installer even moved some hanging hooks around for me to make room for my plants :) Show reply
