To put it bluntly, this company should really be called "Blinds2gowrong". I ordered 2 thermal blackout blinds from them in August of 2020. Less than two and a half years later they are unusable. The cords have frayed so much that the blinds cannot move up and down. Compare this to blinds from another company that were fitted 17 years ago and still work perfectly. They are used in exactly the same way. They go up in the morning and errrrm....down in the evening. (In other words, the actual purpose for blinds) The only difference is that those are not 'thermal blackout' material. Contacting the company gave me options of: Re cord them myself (they provided the cord). Send them back at my expense - for postage both ways. Buy new ones with a 25% discount. We initially chose to re cord them ourselves but realised it was less straight forward than we thought. Contacting the company back for advice, their advice was "It's too complicated". So why were we offered that option in the first place? There is an old saying "Don't throw good money after bad", so I will not be wasting any more money on this rubbish - and then repeating the whole process again in a couple of years time. My advice to potential buyers is look elsewhere unless you want to buy a substandard product from a company with substandard after sales service. Beware!
