This company is fantastic. I recommend them highly. We just moved into a new home and needed blinds for all rooms. We chose verticals for everywhere except for 2 large sliding doors, where we decided to have gliders. The company was lovely to deal with, helpful and the goods were delivered in good time and good condition. My husband and I have now put them all up and they look great. Price was good also. Thank you guys Chris & Dave. Show details
Ordered 31/12/2025, delivered 26/3/2026. Was with courier on 6/3/2026. Nearly 3 months from order to delivery and 3 weeks with their courier to deliver to Sunshine Coast ($111). No issue with the product but I will not be using this company again because of the time it took. Show details

We ordered four large sheer curtains on 9 March and they arrived on 10 April, even with the Easter break in between. The order covered four different rooms, all floor‑to‑ceiling at 2.7 m, with the largest room nearly 6 m wide. We obtained two quotes before ordering, and MyDirectBlinds came in around 20% cheaper than another well‑known online DIY… Read more · 1

The curtains are perfect. Each one fits its room exactly and they look absolutely stunning. The quality is excellent and the finish genuinely looks like a professional install. We couldn’t be happier!
Make sure you read the measurement instructions carefully and double‑check before ordering; if you do that, the result will be spot‑on.
Love our new curtains and can’t thank MyDirectBlinds enough. Highly recommend.

Best thing I did was order these! I was soooo sceptical let me tell you! But they are absolutely fantastic! Show details · 1
Very happy with blackout blinds. Fitted flush to a window with plantation shutters. Allowed a little extra height when ordering to ensure the blind cassette cleared the shutters (so they can be opened). Show details
No problems to install. Really happy with the fit and colour match Show details
Great product and easy to select and order, answered my questions without a drama, had to wait a while as the product selected was out of stock, but it was our choice to wait rather reselect. Install was quick and easy, plenty of good support material offered in their website. will certainly be using again in the future. Show details
The blinds are quite good quality and the website fitting system worked really well. They fit my window near perfectly and were simple to install if you are handy enough. The only downside is the process and shipping time is I felt excessive really for 2025. It’s well documented that it will take that long but be prepared for the wait. Would happily do more windows if not for the 12 week lead in time. Show details
Fantastic product. We have done 4 out of the 10 windows. Will certainly be getting more. Well constructed. Super easy to install and expected delivery date was accurate. Fantastic follow up for measurements and really easy to order.

questions and clarifications / requests to double check measurements. Again; submitted my response and received detailed shop drawings of each blind for review. Once approved the order went to production and I received them by courier 6-8 weeks later. Fitting the blinds was a breeze; all screws and bits and pieces were included (not these were included in one of the boxes, not all separate on each box). I just had to get some packers and gap filler to ensure the plantation blinds were square and fitted securely. I had 7 windows with blinds and fitted them easily within 4 hours. Now keen to also do our bedroom, because I really love the result! I highly recommend My Direct Blinds!
Follow-up · How well do the blinds block sunlight? - Very well. There are some light lines around the panel, but generally it shuts out any sunlight Did the blinds affect your room's temperature? - I have not measured this but expect that during the periods with direct sunlight on the blinds, it blocks the temperature as well. We generally have windows open… Read more

determined. The finish and fit of the blinds was excellent and their assembly and installation was extremely easy. The price was also very reasonable.
I would not hesitate to recommend My Direct Blinds if your are considering plantation shutters.
Follow-up · These blinds darken the room extremely well, far more effectively than other blinds. Probably to a similar level to heavy drapes. Cleaning is very simple, much easier than the Venetians they replaced. Delivery was lengthy. The company states a minimum of around ten weeks for ordering and manufacture with further time required for delivery. In our case it was about thirteen weeks in total.

We’d bought 2 roller blinds from MyDirectBlinds for our bathroom 3 years ago (these were still fine) & now wanted a motorised version to automatically roll down to block the afternoon sun. We ordered the SAME size blinds + motors & a remote, which came with an app for time scheduling and a separate ‘controller’ device. In summary this was a waste… Read more
of time & money. 1. The battery for the smaller blind (tube shape battery inside the roller) was too long for the roller so was unusable! 2. The bigger blind roller was manufactured about 2 mm too long and would also not fit!! I state again: these had been ordered with the SAME measurements as last time! 3. The app, the no-name (Chinese) brand RF remote & (separate) IR controller (no idea what this was for!) were almost impossible to configure. The instructions on the website & on the the attached links were either too-brief videos or (the app) didn’t have the devices supplied so would not connect. This was a very frustrating couple of hours... As a result, we’ve put back the old blinds and binned the new ones. Did not even bother trying to contact the company as I had unsuccessfully tried to call them to ask why it was taking more than 6 weeks to get the new blinds. DO NOT ORDER FROM THESE PEOPLE.

Ordered twice, very happy twice – Have ordered 4 plantations shutters from these folks now. 2 over a year ago and 2 recently. All were face fit for older double hung windows. They all fit perfectly and I couldn't be happier with them. I'm an older experienced renovator/handyman and had no trouble hanging them. If you're not, get a friend or family member who is good on the tools… Read more
to do it - no need for a trades person. Quality is excellent, and they are well packed. The only issue is there is a 2.5 to 3 month lead time and communication after your order is placed is negligible. That wasn't an issue for me, but if it is to you then order elsewhere. The shutters are are exactly the same as much more expensive local suppliers will provide, albeit they'll do it in a faster time frame. So if you're price conscious, can wait and want to get more windows covered for your money, you can't go past these guys. I would definitely order from them again as they are the best value vs quality option out there at the minute.
Great plantation shutters – We wanted plantation shutters for two double hung sash windows in our old character home. Quotes were big from local suppliers so checked the net and decided to give this company a go as they've had good reviews and promised quality product. The price was better than any one else's but the lead times were a bit longer, which is the trade off I… Read more
suppose. Time factor wasn't a concern in our case so we placed the order. I'm a handy man type and took the exact measurements as they instructed to do so for a face fit. The shutters arrived 10 weeks later. No damage as they were packed very well. Communication was great once they were made and out for delivery. I downloaded and followed the instructions on how to install and had them both up in a little over an hour and a bit. They are very good quality and look great. Very happy we went with My Direct Blinds as we saved a lot of dough and have shutters that look and work as good as any I've seen in other peoples homes. Will be ordering from them again in the future.
Positive reviews
Had some issues with install / sizing as I wanted the cassette head channel to be above the window but My Direct Blinds were super quick to respond and extremely helpful in providing a resolution and have offered to remake and send new side channels. Very happy with the resolution and overall product. Show details · 1
We love our curtains. We ordered the double curtains, a sheer and block out. Plus we got the motorized version. The curtains came within the anticipated time-frame, company was great to deal with when ordering and installation was easy. We would definitely order again, we are the 3rd family member's to order through My Direct Blinds. Highly recommend Show details
We have absolutely loved these blinds. We have the gravity free option and they are amazing. The ordering process was easy, the follow up to help us with tensioning was great and they look and function brilliantly. I would buy from here again and recommend without hesitation Show details
Negative reviews
Poor product and poor after-sales support. The product did not come with an installation manual, and I was instructed by the vendor to drill holes into the steel frame myself. Following those instructions caused damage to the frame. This was not what I expected from a professional business, and I would not buy from them again.

Nice blinds poor instructions – The blinds arrived in the agreed time frame. The blinds are good quality and provide good light blocking. The problem came with the instructions. I ordered the cassette for the blinds and they arrived with no instructions and I was told by the company that there was a video on their website. The video is an animation with no measurements so you… Read more
are really left to guess how things should be installed. As such some components didn't sit flush. There was also just a paragraph about how to fit the Zero Gravity blind and I feel some images would be helpful as if a mistake is made the preload on the blind is lost.
Communication is lacking… – Communication is lacking as you’re not sure how your order is progressing. Contacted to ask about my order and was told: “Our listed lead times for roller blinds are anywhere between 14-25 working days, so far you are at approx. day 17“. I ordered 28 Feb, today is 11 April and still waiting for one small blind. It apparently has been… Read more

Order the plantation blinds with 'U Channel' mounting. Was informed there'd be a 3 month wait. Received excellent advice once I'd placed the order with expert feedback to ensure best fit and installation. Blinds arrived right on time and fitted perfectly. They look fantastic and will now look at doing the whole house in a similar style. Thank you so much for the communication, product quality and timely delivery. Show details
Magnificent service from Anette and Jade very helpful with additional information and advice it is great to know that there are still some quality companies that put customer service first nothing was a problem plantation shutters were amazing put them right through the house and all fitted perfectly and the vertical blinds on the sliding doors are perfect great service thank you Kind regards Darren and Jennifer Show details
Very happy, replacing out our discoloured honeycomb venetians. We measured ourselves, receiced a promt email point of clarification and then new blinds arrived exactly as ordered. Good quality finish, will certainly use My Direct Blinds again and highly recommend. Show details
Plantation shutters + roller blinds blow every other supplier out of the water in price . Absolutely stunning ! I am now finishing the rest of the house. Customer support are fantastic. They asked for photos and double checked my measurements and requirements before starting the work. Results were divine Quality / 5 star Price / 5 star Elle Show details
Excellent Advanced Polymer plantation shutter – Great quality Advanced Polymer plantation shutter, ordered one last year September and fitted in a high direct sunlight area and it hasn’t warped or changed colour. I’ve ordered 2 more after and they fitted perfectly and just ordered a 4th one now. They give you all the helpful tips for measuring and can speak to someone if you need advice. Show details
Excellent bang for you buck – Sales support was great with double checking my custom requirements before placing the order on the factory. While the order did take over 10 weeks to arrive the quality for price was well worth it and they were very simple to install. Luckily they came with spare slat pins as one was broken on arrival but easily fixed. Would definitely order more in the future. Show details
Fabulous finish to complete our ensuite – I am thrilled how our ensuite plantation shutters turned out. I was so worried I had measured it wrong but was pleasantly surprised by the back and forth help I got till I was happy I had done it correctly. Was also concerned if I was going to be able to install it myself. A screw driver and 12 screws later and it was done. I am confident now to do our main bathroom.

Better than I expected for the price, so easy to install! – I just received my 3 plantation shutters and they were definitely worth the wait. I installed them myself - was so surprised how easy the installation was and they look fantastic. I'd definitely recommend this company as their prices are lower than any other websites I looked at but the quality is great and so is their service! Show details
