Daryl and his wife Rose did an excellent job installing my blinds, they were professional, efficient, and everything looks fantastic. I also received three other quotes but ultimately chose The Blind Factory because Kay was by far the best to deal with. She gave honest advice, was incredibly helpful, and made the whole process very easy. I was… Read more · 1

Kay and the team were thorough, competitively priced, very personable and provided excellent follow up, good quality products, knowledge and after sales support. They took the time to make sure there were no issues and the install was seamless as a result. We put shear curtains and roller blinds (some electric/automated) throughout our home. We would highly recommend them as we were very happy with the end result. Show details · 1

Good product but poor communication and after sales service from sales rep – I wanted block out awnings to stop the western afternoon sun coming through my window, heating up the room and house. It was easy to organise the blind factory to come out and quote. The first issue happened when the installer arrived to find the factory hadn't provided him with all the parts. So I had to wait another week for him to come out and… Read more
install. A month later I noticed that the awning didn't stop the sun coming through the side of the awning - it wasn't wide enough. I called the woman who gave me the quote. Her response was that she wasn't to know where the sun would land on my house! If she'd asked, I could have told her at the time of the quote. She also said they couldn't go wider on one side of the awning because it wasn't brick wall, like the other side, it was wooden board. She didn't explain any of this at the time of the quote. If she had, I wouldn't have gone ahead with it. She offered to send out the installer again to see if anything could be done, which I accepted. No one ever came back. When I called the blind factory office to make a complaint, they just wanted to put me back onto the woman who did the quote. She's the one I wanted to complain about. I couldn't speak to any manager.
I think their complaint process is lacking. I ended up giving up, but eventually wrote this review.
After The Blind Factory read this review they organised to send out the installer again. His only suggestion was that he could install hooks at the bottom of the awning which would reduce the gap a little more but still not completely stop the sun shining through. He came out and installed it the following week.
I still believe that this issue should have been explained to me during the quote process and that the sales rep's response to my concern was sub standard. I hope they can implement a complaints process for sales reps that doesn't involve only speaking to the rep you have a problem with. The awning is of a good quality and the installer was friendly and professional throughout.

Great service promptly resolving an issue – We had an issue with one of our blinds coming out of the bottom rail/ bumper. TBF arranged for Jhon M to attend to check it out. Jhon attempted to fix it but we weren't happy with the result (not his fault as the material needed to be cut), so he offered to take it back to the factory to get it fixed. He returned (2 weeks later which is pretty… Read more · 1
good) with our blind and arrived 45mins early to the re-installation appointment. I actually had to ask him to wait for 10mins! I've never had a tradie arrive early - it's usually the opposite. The blind was definitely improved after returning from the factory though unfortunately not 100%. The material has stretched so it looks OK but not as good as new. Jhon was friendly, professional and efficient during both visits. He's definitely an asset and great representative for TBF. The 5 star rating is for Jhon's service. I'd give 4 stars for the finished fixed product becsuse it's acceptable but unfortunately not as good as we were hoping.
So easy so Professional – This is the 3rd time I have used the Blind Factory,each time I have been beyond satisfied with the service,from start to finish.

was a little tricky,but Matt worked it out to my satisfaction and he explained the fitting very well.Steve your fitter contacted me to arrange a time and he was also on time.Steve was very pleasant and explained how everything was going to work.Steve was neat, tidy ,well presented and cleaned up after the job was finished.From the first phone call until the job was finished I have been a very happy customer,nothing has changed Iam happy to say,in the approximately 8years from my first encounter with the Blind Factory,(you still have that annoying little man doing your advertisements). Keep up the good work,and keep employing people who like their jobs,it shows to your clients. Thank you again everyone.

Syed just completed a job on-site & I have to say his due-diligence, professionalism & courtesy was exceptional. Seriously folks the job had its complications but Syed patiently worked through them - took a little extra visits but the result was superior because of it. He’s a general around nice guy too.

curtains and shutters and Josh kindly attended to a loose bracket when he returned to install our shutters a few weeks after installing our curtains. They were flexible with scheduling installation times and arrived promptly every time. I don’t usually write reviews, but on this occasion felt I’d go that extra mile as I would definitely recommend!

Unfortunately had a bad experience multiple times with The Blind Factory product. Pin holes in blinds, wrongly measured FRS to cover rollers that I had to accept. The product quality is poor however, the customer service/install team are very friendly and supportive when you need help to rectify an issue. The main issue for me with The Blind… Read more
Factory product primarily is that the materials they use for their roller blinds are cheap, and were continuously arriving on install day damaged at my house (aprox 4 times). Had to settle with a faulty product in the end. Contacted “Brett” /owner with an email outing my experience as they have a ‘contact Brett’ form on their page…. Never heard back from Brett and it was submitted around a month ago …..

So I rang to make a booking. All was good but then I decided to cancel as I was looking for a different product which wasn’t provided by the blind factory. Spoke with a ‘Hailey’ who was not helpful at all and just hung up abruptly when informed I needed to cancel. Not great service right from the onset.

Zip track – both the sales rep and installer need to learn the products more. Was advised on where to build the deck was to be built to for minimal gap as advised by both and now have a large gap Once electical work was completed had to call back to set up properly and remove marks Total instalation and rectification time was 11 hours for 4 blinds The product itself is ok Show details
