Very good product. A few days over 3 weeks delivery but good service regardless. First box opened had some components missing but they were despatched by express post same day. Great service. Would buy again and recommend. Show details ·  1

 Follow-up  · The tensioning screws were missing from one shutter. Minor but inconvenient- parts were dispatched the day I advised the shortfall so good backup. No complaints with delivery and product was as expected - no problems.

The product was delivered in 3 weeks, which was mentioned in the invoice as well. 5 star. Product seems to be good quality, an assembly sheet would have made it a bit more easier. Any tips to keep the corner perfectly aligned would help customer in diy projects Overall I am happy, placing order for the next one shortly. Show details ·  1

Must admit I was skeptical when my wife ordered these, but I was blown away by the quality. Pretty easy to build from the flat pack but taking time and paying attention to detail is crucial. All of the parts are clearly expertly manufactured and arrived in mint condition. They fit together prefectly, with none of the frustration that so often… Read more ·  1

accompanies flat packs when things don't fit like they should.

Packing and delivery were spot on.

I'd highly recommend Shutterwise to anyone considering shutters and we're now looking at other windows in our house that we might order more shutters for.

Awesome quality product, made in Australia, abundance of fasteners, screws, plugs etc, easy to make, prefect fit, great packaging and delivery, and all for a price that we could not beat.

The help with sorting out which kit I needed was excellent. Product arrived in good time. Couple of questions I had about install were sorted out with one phone call. He rang back almost immediately and solved all issues. Product was simple to install. Looks fantastic and good quality. Works a treat. Will buy again. Show details ·  1

 Follow-up  · Install was about 45 minutes. They are in an opening from the stairwell to my office. I think they only come in white, but Ive never seen shutters any other colour.

The product is good but could be better. The middle post needs better support attachment and some of the screws holes and shutter slot holes are too tight. But good value and looks great when fitted. Show details ·  1

 Follow-up  · To make the product perfect the holes for the shutter slats need to be drilled out further as do the holes on each slat for the bar that connects the slats. For a 4 bay shutter the centre pole needs screws with nuts behind to secure the post adequately as the frame is only 15-20mm thick and over time a few 12mm screws won't support the post and 2 shutters that swing off that post.

I ordered two SmartKits for two windows and neither frame was big enough for said windows. Due to the window not having a recess I went for the recommended face fit frame, the windows also have minimal architrave therefore I used to text function on the website to send a photo of the window to ask a question on how best to measure. The response… Read more

from ShutterWise was dismissive and simply said “yes”. I went ahead and measured as confirmed in the text exchange. I made an effort to leave a detailed description in the special order notes, given the instructions in the measurement guide were to notify if the architrave was less than 25mm. I wanted to fit the frame outside of this architrave (15mm), directly on to the wall, which I’d made clear from the text and notes on the order. Once I received the frames it was evident straightaway that they were too small for the window, and I highlighted this immediately with ShutterWise. In a few of Alan’s angry responses, he admitted to not understanding the note on the order, so instead of contacting me to clarify he just went ahead and made the kits incorrectly. I stated I had followed his instructions on measuring from the photo I sent him via text, his response was he couldn’t remember receiving it (I sent him a screenshot as evidence). I asked if they could remake the shutters to the correct dimensions, he refused. I asked if I could then be refunded as the shutters are useless, he refused. I even said I’d forego the $250 shipping costs to which I got an email in capitals from Alan refusing to take any responsibility for making and sending an essentially faulty product. When I asked why I wasn’t contacted if the order notes were not understood, Alan changed his story and passed the blame onto someone else saying he doesn’t deal with that area. The only thing Alan has done to “help” is to recommend ways to bodge them onto the frame, which I have explained is not possible due to them being too small. I’m left $1000 out of pocket and stuck with two shutter kits that have no use to me…

Great Value and Excellent Quality – Worth the Effort! The product took about a week to manufacture, and while it shipped immediately, it took two weeks to arrive. I ordered shutters for eight windows of various sizes, and the process of measuring and uploading the dimensions into the ordering system was straightforward. The website was… Read more ·  1

user-friendly and made ordering easy.

When the shutters arrived, they were very neatly packed—around 27 boxes in total. It was a little overwhelming at first, but everything was well-labeled, so it was easy to match each box to the corresponding window.

I highly recommend watching the assembly videos before starting. They’re helpful for understanding how the parts go together correctly. I only messed up one panel, which I had to unscrew and reassemble, but the videos helped prevent more mistakes.

The quality of the shutters and components is exceptional—I couldn't fault them at all. Installation was fairly simple once I figured out that you need to pull the pins and remove the shutter panels before screwing the frame into place, then re-hang the shutters. I must have missed that step in the instructional videos, but I’m sure it’s covered.

The shutters fit perfectly according to the measurements I provided, and although the assembly and installation required a bit of work, it was absolutely worth it—especially considering the roughly $5,000 I saved compared to quotes from various blind companies.

I highly recommend Shutterwise if you're willing to put in a bit of effort and want to save a significant amount of money.

Good quality and a great price – First time ordering from ShutterWise. I purchased a single DIY shutter kit to check out the quality prior to potentially ordering more. Price was one of the main factors for choosing Shutterwise as another company that i had previously used seemed to be a lot more expensive these days. The ordering process was nice and simple and always good to… Read more ·  1

get instant pricing. I had a call the following day to confirm some options also which was nice. Order arrived well packed in 2 packages. as mentioned, i got the DIY shutter kit so you literally have to build the shutter from the pre cut parts like a flat pack. To be honest when I first opened the boxed I was a little disappointed as the quality of the finish looked a bit rough. But then I realized the parts were all covered in a nice protective film which is easy enough to remove. All parts looked perfect after that. Putting them together is a little fiddly but i am quite handy so wasn't really a bit issue. If you can do a flat pack though you should be right. Once assembled I was very happy with the product. Shutter is very solid and quite heavy. Not installed the shutter in the window opening yes but have held it in place and fit is perfect. The finish seems very good quality over all. I would definitely buy from here again. Very nice quality and price.

My item (Louver repair spring loaded pins) was shipped very quickly (in 2 days from Melbourne to Sydney) and allowed me to fix my broken slats without too much downtime. I originally purchased the Louver pins as these are what was originally installed in the shutter. However, if you are attempting this repair, order the spring loaded pins even if… Read more ·  1

your shutter does not currently utilise them. This is because you cannot get a Louver pin into the slats without dismantling the shutter and these are glued together very strongly, so this method is not an option. The spring loaded pins were simple to install and have resolved the issue of broken, hanging slats. The website has good pictures of these items and having the dimensions shown was very handy. Thanks, Simon.

I found online what I thought was the correct part. Seemed expensive and postage a complete ripoff but I thought this site seems legit and they’ve got a service line if I need advice so I went ahead. When I received the part I tried to install and had trouble after viewing the videos I decided I still needed some advice so tried service line and… Read more

Length of the plastic shutter pins was correct but the diameter was not mentioned. The ones delivered are too narrow and cannot be returned. $45 down the drain. They were fine for what they were though, even if one of the pins was not the right size at all. Shipping was expensive for something that would fit in an ordinary envelope too. Show details

Product was good but unfortunately the customer service was not great.

components. You can also choose the manufacturing timeframe. These options affect price (obviously) but even fully assembled I saved thousands on this job. Installation is simple handyman/woman stuff. I will be ordering more for other rooms now I have seen the quality. This sounds like I work for the company - I don’t and my only gripe is slightly slower delivery than I was expecting. But only a few days and I’m regional.
