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

Overall very good value. The only thing that didn’t go to plan was the fact that one window had a window sill which meant I had to cut the frame overhang in order to make it fit. But other than that, very happy with the overall look and ease of installing. Show details ·  1

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.

Lies, Lies, Lies – An honest and ethical window furnishing company is hard to come by these days. My experience with ShutterWise proves these words to be true. For at least the past year, the normal ongoing price of the shutters was $229 per square metre. I purchased one set of PVC shutters in May of this year, as a DIY kit for one of the bedroom windows, just to… Read more

check the ordering process and quality of the product before I choose to order more. I ordered a recessed L-frame and a 3 panel configuration. I received the order in well packaged boxes after approximately 3 weeks. All parts are labelled on the ends of the stiles and rails. All screws and fixings are supplied in their own plastic packages. Instructions aren't the best but if you're somewhat mechanically minded, you can figure it out after a while. Building the shutters wasn't too difficult. 2 joins broke in the corners of the PVC frames and the corner joining pieces (white plastic bone shaped looking things) were no longer useful so I deleted those parts altogether. With careful precision, I lined up the 3 sides of the built frame (2 x sides and 1 x bottom piece) and screwed them to the window reveals. The top piece of the frame I slipped in and just screwed it to the top window reveal. Nobody will be able to tell that the top frame is not actually joined to the side frames. After shutter was installed, I peeled off the protective plastic film and tested it out over the following week or two. The follow up emails and texts hounding me to leave reviews on a few different portals became a nuisance. I'll review when, and if, I choose to and I don't appreciate many attempts at asking me to review. I then decided that I want to order another 7 sets shutters for the remaining windows. So after going through their facebook feed, I noticed that on June 23 in 2023 (exactly one year ago to the day), they advertised an end of financial year sale for $219/m2. I decided to keep waiting and checking their site for a sale to be announced but nothing came through for us. Their site was down for 2 days just last week with a notification that they are re-launching. I thought this is the moment their EOFY sale will be announced with the relaunch. Well nope, instead they upped the prices by 9% on the shutters and they had hit $249/m2. I reached out to [Name Removed], who is the person in charge of monitoring and replying to emails. I inquired about the EOFY sale only one year ago for $219/m2 and told him of my intentions of ordering 7 more sets of shutters and I had regrettably waited until the 23rd of this month for a sale announcement. I expressed that I was disappointed to see that instead of there being a sale like the $219 from one year earlier, it jumped 9% and is $249. He replied and said that the shutters "never has been 219 before". What really ticks me off is when I get blatantly lied to. So I responded again with the screenshot of his own facebook post with last year's sale of $219/m2. He then replied yet again with another lie - "This has not updated for longtime, this price was 2 years ago." Hypothetically, all he had to say was either: "it was a business decision because our company was only established in May 2022 so low prices were presumably lower set to entice and establish a customer base", OR, "yes I understand your situation of begrudgingly waiting for a sale that won't ever eventuate and I will honour either last year's EOFY sale that you were expecting a repeat of or at least the prices set only a few days ago at which you previously purchased at". I'd give a one star review for this business but the product is just OK - even with 2 of the 4 joins breaking and the outside frame not completely joined as it should. For the business side of it including ethics and honesty, I'll give a minus 5 star. If I weren't lied to, I never would have written this review and would've just accepted whatever excuse they gave me for raising the prices by 9%.

Highly recommend! Made and delivered within 10 days of ordering, a week prior to Christmas. Great quality and straightforward to install, especially after watching the video online. Show details ·  1

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.

Fantastic qualityproducts from Shutter Wise. Had to replace rusted rods & screws and hinges to existing timber slats.. Everything from Shutter Wise fitted perfectly. Easy to order on line and very quick delivery. Highly recommend this supplier. Show details ·  2

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

received one 3 word text telling me to watch the video. I replied that I had and explained my problem and asked about a different part. Never got any more response. I went online and sourced the right part elsewhere for a seventh of the price delivered. Disappointed

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…

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

I've ordered 8 different plantation shutters in recent times and all have been delivered promptly and well worth the money. I've purchased the kits because I'm fussy and like to assemble things myself. Great product and service at a good price. Show details ·  1

Incredibly accurate, these guys are amazing.... In a field where it feels the majority of competitors are only out to rip people off, these guys stand out by a mile. If your handy enough with a measuring tape, drill and screwdriver, this place has got you covered. Look forward to using these guys again! Show details ·  1

This is our fourth time ordering shutters and every time the process has been seamless. The team are very helpful with any questions or concerns and shipping times are great. Highly recommend! Show details ·  1

I am amazed with this service - the quality and accuracy of the shutters - all five of mine were slightly different- was first class. The materials seem to be first rate as well. Virtually half the price of major Floor/Window company quotes and you can choose the level you want your kit to arrive - basically from fully assembled down to just the… Read more ·  1

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.

So grateful for ShutterWise! I couldn't afford to replace the whole plantation shutter blinds that were damaged, and their repair kit was perfect. They literally saved me hundreds of dollars, made the panels to measure, and I had them in my hand, VIC to NSW, within a week. Outstanding service! Thank you so much! Show details ·  1
