Timeframes are not correct.
Ordered curtains that quoted a 2 week timeframe on their website - after the 2 weeks I emailed to followup my order to be told it would be another week. I was unimpressed and emailed the owner who had a staff member call me to tell me they think it is an acceptable timeframe. The staff member said their website didn't quote that - until I sent the screenshot.
I could have ordered, and had this already from another company if the time frames were truthful and accurate.
I've cancelled my order. What a waste of time.

Thanks for the refund. The error found was on your 'CHECK OUR TIMEFRAMES HERE' splash on your website. Im not sure if I was expected to ferret around to find anything contradicting that.

Horrible experience
We had previously ordered plantation shutters twice from I Seek with no issues at all, always recommended this company for their fantastic service, delivery, and high quality products. This order (over $5000.00) was a total disaster, the order was delayed, then arrived broken and with a missing box. The boxes were broken, the shutters were damaged, frames were bowed and the shutters came from a different company??? The missing box turned up several days later, it also contained a damaged shutter. I Seek sent a replacement but both screws we...
Read morere missing and lugs were missing. My Husband (who is a tradie and has installed all of our previous shutters in 2 houses) had a terrible time trying to work with these shutters, they were just a disaster. Many emails were sent between myself, I Seek and the awful delivery company they use (Direct Freight). I Seek stated in their last email "there is nothing more we can do for you". I will never use I Seek again, and I won't be recommending them to others.1 comment

Hi Suzie,
Thanks for your honest feedback. We are so terribly sorry about the issues experienced with your latest Plantation Shutter order - this is not at all what a customer should expect when d...
Read moreealing with us. We completely understand your frustrations and disappointment, and we are genuinely devastated with the result of what should have been a seamless and successful outcome for you.Temporary Blinds
I purchased 5 boxes of the temporary blinds. After installing them, at least half started falling off within 24hrs. The rest followed with in days.
The alcohol wipes that were supplied to clean the window frames were mostly dry. They are not easy to put up every day. The size doesn't suit most windows so multiple blinds are needed making it even harder to fold them up each day.
Probably just best to buy cheap material to use that can be cut to suit individual windows.
Don't waste your time or money.

Worst company to deal with
Worst company to deal with Seriously. Don't order anything from them. They delivered wrong blinds even after several phone calls to make sure they deliver a particular material blind they had but not from this year. They said they still have that material blinds and advice to order online. I did. spoke with them multiple times as well but still they delivered the wrong one. And worst thing is that when i called them to inform that i got the wrong one, they even didn't apologies and simply said we will order the one you want and they didn't gave...
Read more anytime frame when i will get my blinds. Every time i call a new person picks up the call and simply say it's not my you were dealing with and they just hand ball the task and no one takes responsibility. I wouldn't recommend to deal with this company. Monty1 comment

Motorized blinds
After motorized blinds ordered i was extremely happy with service , website , blind quality , when i went to order more some months later they no longer keep the simple one remote for each blind which was considerably cheaper than the new multi-remote that works multiple blinds .. They dont seem to under stand that this remote is useless if you have remote blinds in multiple rooms , bedrooms etc and you are now forced to to pay 3 times more for a multi remote that will work just one blind ... I went elsewhere for my next order .

Read moreblinds has not sold the single channel remote control for about 2 years now. The decision was made to delist this product as the majority of our customers were opting for the 15 channel remote and we believe that this option offers far more flexibility than the single channel. The single channel remote control was only marginally cheaper than the 15 channel remote around $10 (not 3 times less) - And for an additional $10, we believe the 15 channel remote offers better value, particularly for customers ordering double motorised blinds, dual control linked blinds or multiple blinds in the one room. In addition, with the accelerating uptake of smart home devices and the ability to easily integrate your blinds, the remote control in time will become more about the initial set up for easy programming of all blinds /pairing the motors (and a handy back up) instead of actually controlling them on a daily basis. So for us it was the right decision to make for our business. Please don't hesitate to let us know if you ever need our assistance in the future. iseekblinds- Verified customer

Not sure about other producs but paper blinds was worst.
Purchased paper blinds, paid good price for bad quality stuff. Quality of paper used was very bad. Would not recommend anyone to buy at least this.

Read moreto be the best quality paper blinds you can buy. Re-useable over and over, the paper fabric is strong and durable and looks great for long periods of time. The tape used to attach them to your window / window frame comes off clean and leaves no sticky residue behind. And at $34.50 for 3 blinds plus free shipping, offer exceptional value. Please give iseekblinds a call on 1300 664 257 so we can discuss the condition you might have received your blinds in.Unfortunately i do not agree its a good quality blind, faded and lasted only few months.

Extremely disappointing
We received only 1/2 of our order. Did not take out transport insurance. We were forced to pay more $$$$'s to re order the missing shutters which we did through another supplier. They not only matched the price that I seek blinds were offering to replace the missing shutters, they did better! I have been extremely disappointed with iseek blinds service & customer support. I would not recommend them to anyone nor use them ever again!

Dear Sarah, iseekblinds uses a 3rd party courier to deliver our freight. As such these couriers are not under our control and as a result unfortunately there is always a slight risk that something at...
Read more some point won’t go as planned. This is the reason that iseekblinds offers delivery insurance at a small cost of 5% of the value of your items ordered. In your case this would have equated to $44.82. Sarah you chose not to take out the Delivery insurance, even though the shutters also had to travel over 1,600 km to get to your house.Review collected in partnership with iseekblinds

Poor Customer Service and Sales Team. Great Product.
We have previously ordered plantation shutters from iseekblinds and were impressed by the quality of the product. We decided to order some more and asked if there were any specials coming up, or discounts for repeat customers? We were told "The prices will stay the same, in fact rising next year due to supplier price increases." We placed our order, and two weeks later, they dropped their price 10%.

Read more received at the time was absolutely correct. And the prices will indeed need to increase next year due to Supplier price increases outside of our control. You will see this impact across the industry. At iseekblinds, we are always looking to pass on any savings to our customers where possible, and in view of the price rises coming next year, we made a decision to put on a sale in the lead up to give as much benefit as possible to our customers whilst we can. As you can appreciate, it is unfortunate that this occurred a few weeks after your order was placed. Across the board we pride ourselves on offering the most competitive everyday price in Australia for our customised, Australian made, high quality plantation shutters. There is always a trade off and if we had known, and you had waited for a sale, you would have missed out on receiving your plantation Shutters prior to Christmas.Unimpressed.

Terrible service, long delays, incorrect order. I did a lot of research into online blinds and looked at reviews and decided on iseekblinds but I want to warn people that the blinds are made in China so there is a looooong delay in blind arrival. 72 day wait for blind. They cut the wrong size so had reorder which took double the delivery time. They don't go out of their way to fix problems. I would have thought an express delivery would have been arranged due to them cutting the wrong size but this didn't occur. I was asked to take photos...

Bad quality blinds and delay in support
They arrived about 2 weeks later but with the following problems:
1. One blind damaged in transit, they accepted refund.
2. Another blind was made without a cord to pull them up. They accepted refund.
3. 2 other blinds do not close properly when tilted up, there are 2cm gaps between the slats. They refused refund and requested to contact TWC the wholesaler. Contacted them and only get an appointment 1 week later (almost 2 weeks after blinds received). TWC guy came today and admits that those 2 blinds are sub standard. Took them back and pr...

Hi, I have more of a suggestion than a question. I have had a number of orders for Shutters, and all have been fantastic, and they look GREAT. However my suggestions would be, that for long drop shutters during delivery the frames should not be joined at the corners with the Hoffman keys inserted. During transport the larger packing boxes flex and break out the Hoffman keys. Luckily with mine the Hoffman keys had just enough bite to hold the frame until I screwed the frame in. Just a thought for Quality Control. Cheers John

Hi John,
Great to hear from you, and we're so glad to hear you love your plantation shutters!
Thanks for your suggestion. We are always looking for ways to improve the packaging and help our customers achieve the best outcome possible.
It does help to keep the components for a single panel in one box, but I totally understand your point and the last thing anybody wants is for the shutter to arrive damaged.
I will work with the shutter team and packaging company to see how we can improve on this.
Many thanks,
Mike Gubby

Great products and service. I installed two motorised blinds and trying to pair to remote. Following youtube instructions which are excellent. However after selecting a channel on the remote and holding down P1 on blind motor I get the exact response from motor as per instructions. blind drives down/up stops and beeps. When I then press and hold the stop button to pair the remote to channel one I get no response at all. Same as for blind 2...no response except the initial response from the motor after holding down P1.
What could be the issue. Could it be the remote? Are the motors relying on wifi which the modem is approx 15-20 metres away. Or am I doing something wrong.
Kevin

You need to direct this question to Michael at iseek. I am just a customer.
All sorted....Tried everything so looked up the website who manufactures the remote. Updated (instructions online) the mode of the remote and after that it started talking to the blind motor.

Hi iseekblinds, a question regarding your pelmets for roller blinds. Do you have options for pelmets with fabric look instead of metal? I would like the pelmet to match the fabric of the blind itself.
On your website, I see only black, white and anodised as the three choices.
1 answer
Kylie B.iseekblinds
Hello, thank you for your enquiry. At this stage we only sell the Pelmet 95 - made from aluminium. However we have assisted a number of customers where we have supplied them with the matching roller blind fabric and they have commissioned a 3rd party to make their pelmets. If you would like to proceed down this path, please call the office to discuss the quantity of fabric you would require - 1300 664 257.

Hi Ally,
We’re sorry to hear of your disappointment regarding our turnaround timeframes. ...
Read more As we manufacture each and every order to customer specifications, the standard turnaround timeframe we advertise on our website for curtains is approximately 3 weeks. This allows for the careful and meticulous approach we take to making our products, as well as our high order volumes, ensuring that everything we deliver is of exceptional quality. Please note that we also indicate times frames may increase during busy periods – preparing our customers for any changes to stated timeframes, especially during the Christmas/New Year holiday season. We acknowledge there was an error on one page of the website, stating we were working on a 2 week turnaround, and that is the timeframe you were counting on. We apologise for the confusion caused, and have now corrected the information to avoid any further misunderstandings. And we thank you for letting us know. Unfortunately, sometimes things can get missed with the sheer volume of information we provide on our website. Your order was received on January 14th, just a few days after we re-opened from our holiday break, and as is our standard procedure, it was placed into our production schedule along with many others received during this time. We have double-checked our manufacturing schedule, and your curtains would have been made well within the 3 week timeframe, despite the high order volume we received over the holiday period. We’re sorry that you cancelled your order and apologise again for the misunderstanding. Kind regards, iSeekBlinds
