SelectBlinds.com   #3

Suite B111
Mesa, AZ 85204
Phone: 888-257-1840
www.selectblinds.com

Editorial Staff Comments: As one of the internet's largest retailers of quality blinds, what sets this company apart is that they offer their own superior line of window coverings. The result of this is that they have the product knowledge that many retailers lack when they are dealing with multiple manufacturers. Although it seems that they could offer some lower pricing due to their exclusive brand name and lower overhead, the quality of their product is as good as or better than many name brand products found in home improvement stores. At SelectBlinds.com, no sale is ever final! They offer a satisfaction guarantee that exceeds almost every competitor in the industry.

SelectBlinds.com gives clear and concise helps for measuring windows, selecting blinds and installation. They also offer to find a professional to measure and/or install your blinds for you.  The website is divided into categories including wood, faux wood, honeycomb, mini, vertical, bamboo/woven, roller, sheer shades, and roman. Each category has a picture and description of the product, pricing, color choices, features and shipping information. Free samples are available to ensure a correct color match and they offer free shipping and a "Google checkout".

I personally ordered cellular blinds from SelectBlinds.com for my home about a year ago and was very satisfied with the quality and customer service. The blinds have performed well with no problems to report, and their prices were the lowest at the time.

Blindsgalore   #4
6555 Nancy Ridge Drive, Suite 100
San Diego, CA 92121
Phone: 877-702-5463
www.blindsgalore.com

Editorial Staff Comments: Blindsgalore is another great choice for selection and value. They offer a comprehensive collection of custom window treatments at low rates. They have almost unlimited design choices and a complete line of window coverings from Bali, Graber, Comfortex, Hunter Douglas, Levolor, and Kirsch, as well as their own Blindsgalore collection. All products are good quality, custom made to your specifications, and shipped direct from the factory.

Blinds Galore does have a measuring guide on their site and “design experts” are available 7 days a week by phone, email and live chat to help you select the best window coverings for your individual needs. Free swatches, free shipping, and a low price guarantee, are all part of what they call a no-hassle shopping experience.

The Shopping process doesn’t flow as well as some of the other stores we’ve visited. You have to do a little more work to get pricing and you are moved from screen to screen more than we would like. Overall a great online store with a decent selection of products and their customer service rating was good based on research.

Editorial Staff Comments: For more than fifty years, American Blinds has been an excellent resource for wallpaper and more by mail, phone, online, or in person. Their web site decoratetoday.com offers quality name brand blinds and wallpapers, plus top quality rugs, curtains and bedding with new items being added all the time. They also feature and on-line Clearance Outlet section.

From their website: “WE WILL NEVER BE UNDERSOLD OR OUT SERVICED, PERIOD! SAVE up to 25% - 85% off most retail store prices. We don't just promise price, quality, and service, we guarantee it. That's why with every blind and wallpaper purchase, you receive our exclusive Satisfaction Guarantee and Lowest Price Guarantee.” Decorate Today also invites you to visit their Livonia Design Center in Michigan where they have a large selection of blinds on display and over 2,000 special order wallpaper books to choose from.

Navigating their website can be frustrating and somewhat tedious as you must shop only by brand, and have to “build” each piece to get pricing. They do offer some good savings but they are only middle-of-the-road on pricing according to our research.

NoBrainerBlinds.com   #8
Three Brainer Tower
4660 Beechnut
Houston, TX 77096
Phone: 888-4No-Brainer (888-466-2724)
www.nobrainerblinds.com

Editorial Staff Comments: NoBrainer was created by the folks at Laura's Draperies, Bedspreads & More, a window coverings design firm established in 1937. NoBrainer offers a simple concept; “low prices made possible by mammoth buying power, streamlined order processing using the latest technology.” They've been doing business online for over 10 years- in fact they were the first online window coverings site- and they are members of several professional trade associations.

All of that aside, the website seems to do little more than try very hard to convince you of how great they are. My advice is to go straight to their site map and navigate your way from there; it is much less distracting. The only name brand featured anywhere on the site is Bali, so it is difficult to know how many brands they carry and while they do seem to have a large selection, they don’t do much to make it all look pretty. They do have great prices and are certainly worth a look if you really want to save, but you may end up spending quite a bit of your time on the phone with them trying to put your order together.

Editorial Staff Comments: Blinds Chalet has been doing business on a local retail level throughout the southwestern United States for over 15 years and has an extensive base of vendors. The window blinds and other products they offer are good quality and the pricing is quite good also. As with most of their competitors, they offer measuring instructions, installation instructions and a live help line. Each product has a picture showing how it looks in real application and their pricing charts and product comparison charts are helpful and easy to use. They may not save you as much as some of their competitors, but they do offer an enjoyable shopping venue.

Editorial Staff Comments: Home Decorators Collection offers an appealing home page with a variety of items beyond window blinds, such as bath accessories, furniture, home décor, lighting, outdoor accessories, rugs, blinds and shades. You can view the blinds gallery, shop by category, order swatches, learn how to measure a window properly, save window selections, conduct a search or get help. The gallery shows all the different window treatment categories with a picture and description. Simply enter your window measurements into the quick quote calculator to display the price for each item.
 
Home Decorators prices are the highest of their competitors, and the brand selection was limited by comparison offering only 2 brand names plus the Home Decorators brand. Unfortunately, they also don't offer sales items or provide standard free shipping. While Home Decorators Collection may be fun to shop, when it comes to buying your Blinds, you can find better options with some of the others we’ve reviewed.
