3 Day Blinds Seattle

All went well.

Just roght

It was very nice. I was very pleased. I like that you don't realize that the blinds are there. They were nice when coming to do the measurements, putting them up, and the clean up. I would highly recommend them.

It was great. The appointment was easy to set up. The salesperson was well prepared and had clear ideas to show me and clear recommendations. We were able to get to a solution that was delivered quickly. The price was competitive. The installation went well. He showed up 15 minutes of his time. He installed the blinds quickly. It exceeded my expectations.

Everything was fine. The service and sales people knew their products so they didn't waste our time. The service was very prompt.

It was great. They were very prompt. I like the blinds. The price was average.

3 Day Blinds did a very good job for us. The blinds selected work well and provide good heat insulation and room darkening. The installation was performed quickly, efficiently and on schedule. The pricing was reasonable. We were sufficiently impressed that we later had Leah Milton measure our upstairs bedrooms for new blinds. Again we were pleased with the product and the way everything was handled.

This was, bar none, the worst customer service experience I've had in years. I really wish I'd checked Angie's List before hiring them; it would have saved me five months (so far) of hassle. The measuring process wasn't exactly smooth. We ended up with two blinds about a foot shorter than they should have been, and easily could have been, due to a measurer error. It looks stupid, but they won't correct it. The measurer also told me that the drapes would be built with high-quality metal hardware and cotton cords; instead, the works were all cheap white plastic, and the cords a thin nylon -- exactly what I'd hoped to avoid when I asked her that question. The blinds arrived over a month late. Only four of the seven were in the order; we had to wait another month for them to find the three lost ones. One had the wrong length pull cord on it, which needed replacement; this took another three weeks. Another had the gears break within six weeks of installation: it was a big, heavy floor to ceiling shade with cheap plastic works that weren't up to the weight. The installer took the shade for repair yesterday; I have no idea when or if I'll see it again. The people scheduling the installations have no idea where their installers are. I've gotten a constant stream of e-mails from them trying to book appointments that their independent installer, Pete, had already come and gone on. (Pete is the one bright spot in this whole story.) Yesterday, I got a stern e-mail from their accounting office demanding immediate payment of the outstanding 50% owed because and quot;their installers couldn't reach meand quot; for over a month. Funny: Pete was here yesterday, for the second time this month... I also told them that they're not getting paid until I have all seven blinds installed, intact, and working -- something that has not happened at any time yet. I placed this order in early March. It's now almost August, and we're still at it. I'm very tempted to have them come remove the shades and refund my deposit, so I can start over with a professional company. Seriously: Flee screaming. Do not do business with these people. There are better locally-owned businesses in Seattle that have been around a long time, and are more deserving of your trade.

The in home consultation went great, we had a lot of options to choose from and the consultant was very helpful selecting styles/types. It was the install, by Rayline Installations, and actually getting the correct blinds/shades from 3DB that was the problem. When the first installation date came, he arrived on time but some of the items were the wrong style, some were not included at all. All the items should have been double checked with our order before they left the distribution center. The second install date, some of the correct blinds/shades were still missing, had to reorder yet a second time. When installing some of the roller shade chain brackets to the window casings, they were not lined up and several inches off from each other (vertically). This looked horrible. At one location we have two shades at a wall corner, the brackets were literally right next to each other with one about 4 inches higher than the other. With disbelief I asked the installer why they were not lined up at the same height - he said he would move them to align, but now the one chain would be too short, so he'd have to come back with a new one. Wow. The third visit, several weeks later, everything was finally installed. Some of the brackets are still off a bit, but we just wanted them out of the house. The thing we were most displeased with is that no one from 3DB called during this time or after to make sure the work was complete to our satisfaction. We always had to call for updates/status on getting the right items. We will not use this company again, be careful if you choose to do so. Also, do not make full payment up front as we did, put down a modest deposit and demand the balance be paid upon completion.

What went well: The consultation appointment and original installation occurred at the time agreed upon. The person who arrived to install the drapes was pleasant and professional. What did not go well: The original consultation was on 10-18-2012. It took a couple of phone calls to secure an installation appointment. When the installer arrived, he was not given a center bracket, so the drapes sag terribly. He assured us that he would make sure the bracket would be ordered promptly. It was; however, no one notified me. I called a few times and sent an e-mail. Finally, made an appointment on 12-6-2012, but no one showed. Then I sent another e-mail and made more phone calls. It is now Jan 19, 2012 and we still have sagging drapes. Today, I spoke with a representative of 3 Day Blinds on the phone and said I would prefer they take their drapes and hardware back and refund my money. Instead he assured me that they would follow through with an appointment and compensate my frustration. I am skeptical. It has already been over 3 months since starting this process. I thought I would save time by hiring professionals, but with all the e-mails and phone calls I've made I would have saved time and money doing it myself. My husband said he like the drapes I installed last time better than 3 Day Blinds and quot;professionaland quot; work.

They need to change their name to three month or never blinds. We had an estimator come out and look recommend and write up an appraisal. We saw that it was going to be over three thousand dollars but we wanted nice blinds installed by "professionals" and so we bit the bullet and approved the idea before the next day. Why? Well "if we gave her th go ahead before closing on wednesday they could start making the blinds and install them the beginning of next week. So we ponied up the three grand and that weekend I worked feverishly to remove all blinds... no contact thsat weekend or monday or teusday so we called to see what was happening... not reeady could be a few more days dry rinse repeat .... now weeks have passed and we get a call from the "estimator" IE sales person and we need to reorder becaiuse they discontinued this one .... reorder .... wait a month has passed reorder again but now just afew blinds sop we dont have to dance NAKED in our front room .... nothing nothing nothng .. finally in disgust and after 15 emails and 35 calls we call it quits get a full refund and go online and buy blinds elsewhere... You should too!

The small store didn't seem setup for retail. They had plenty of catalogs, but had an installer prepping on the floor for an installation and a small selection of blinds on the walls. After someone helped by showing me catalogs, I chose horizontal sheer blinds. The person helping me really wasn't very helpful (or friendly) and didn't know about how the blinds installed or details about all the options available. After providing my measurements, I was shocked at the cost ($1,900). These were not huge windows and we needed only three blinds. They also needed around 14 business days to deliver. What is the company name again?! I ended up purchasing the same blinds (probably a different manufacturer, but I can't tell a difference) from Home Depot for $1,200 including tax and delivery. The blinds arrived within a week after I ordered them and they installed in minutes with no problems.

Went well with measurments, quick quote.

When we purchased our home in 2006, all the huge windows had the "honeycomb" blinds. Our first experience fixing them was a string breaking and I called a few places I found on the internet. One that sounded O.K. seemed expensive ($50. for each string) but I had no point of reference and was just relieved we didn't have to purchase a new covering for our large window. Luckily, before taking it in to this place, it occured to me to try to find the brand name on the blinds themselves and that's when I discovered 3 Day Blinds. They replaced both strings (although only one was broken) for $35.00. They said "might as well get two new ones, as long as we're in there!" They were really nice, professional, and finished the job days before promised.

3 Day Blinds did a really good job. They have cheaper prices then other places we looked at and they are very professional and friendly. They were very efficent and they were very prompt when they were installing them. They cleaned up well and we would use them agian in the future.

My husband and I stopped into their showroom and made an appointment for an on-site consultation and estimate for the installation of window treatments. The design consultant who came to our house brought old, dirty samples and tried to talk us into products that we didn't want or need. The worst part is that she wreaked of cigarette smoke, which lingered in our house for several hours after she left. While the estimate seemed fair, we didn't feel comfortable working with this company based on our in-home visit.

The company name is misleading. It gives the impression that your blinds are shipped and ready for install in 3 days. The name actually reflects the time it takes for the blinds to be manufactured. So with shipping, they arrive 5-7 days after ordering. In my case, I had to wait 35 days, from order date to installation (wood blinds had to be special ordered). To be fair, the other blinds did arrive on time. Also, the store did call a few times, saying that they had not forgotten about my order. The installation of the blinds was fine, but the earliest appt I could get was 11 business days after the wood blinds arrived. I was told they didn't do installs on Saturday, which surprised me since the blinds in my condo were installed on a Sat. The installer arrived on time and worked efficiently. He took the empty boxes with him, but said that he couldn't take the old blinds. When I had the blinds installed at my condo, the installers DID take away the old blinds.

The process was simple and went smoothly. It helped that we have ordered similar shades from this company in the past, so I had experience measuring and installing the blinds myself. It only took about 10 minutes to place the order at the store since we knew what we wanted. The blinds arrived on time and were exactly what we had ordered. We're very pleased with the result.

The initial visit went well when we got the estimate, the selection of colors and options could have been better, and we actually didn't purchase some additional blinds because the fabric selection was poor for roman shades. We were told it would take two weeks for the blinds to be delivered, it was bit longer than that, perhaps 3 weeks, but not too bad. The installation was a problem. We had ordered the blinds to be installed at the bottom of the window well for the skylight, but instead they were installed right next to the skylight, so it didn't provide the seamless look we had ordered. My wife pointed this out to the installer, but he said he couldn't install them the way we had ordered them (and how they had been measured). Additionally the way they were installed was crooked and backwards. They had a new installer fix the problem 2 weeks later, but it was a big hassle and waste of time, and we still have screw holes from the first installation to fix ourselves.

THE DESIGNER REALLY POINTED OUT THINGS TO ME AND HELPED ME MAKE THE RIGHT CHOICES. THEY HELPED ME CHOOSE THE RIGHT COLORS AND TEXTURES. THEY WERE VERY PROFESSIONAL AND ON TIME. LOVE EM!

I WENT TO THE STORE ORIGINALLY TO ORDER A FEW MORE SLATS FOR A BLIND WE NEEDED TO CHANGE AFTER WE REMODELED THE DOOR. I LEARNED THAT IT WAS ACTUALLY MORE COST EFFECTIVE TO ORDER AN ENTIRELY NEW BLIND THAN TO TRY TO HAVE THE OLD BLIND ADJUSTED TO FIT THE NEW OPENING. I APPRECIATED THE SALESPERSON'S CANDOR ON THIS MATTER.

3 DAY BLINDS WERE VERY HELPFUL IN PICKING OUT WHAT WE NEEDED AND MAKING SURE OUR MEASUREMENTS WERE RIGHT. THEY FOLLOWED UP WITH A PHONE CALL TO MAKE SURE WE WERE HAPPY WITH THE BLINDS.

WE WERE REALLY HAPPY WITH THE SERVICE WE RECEIVED FROM 3 DAY BLINDS. THE LADY THAT WE WORKED WITH WAS SO POLITE AND NICE. WE ARE REALLY HAPPY WITH THE QUALITY OF WORK AS WELL.

THEY WERE VERY PROFESSIONAL AND QUICK ABOUT OUR ORDER. WE HAD CUSTOM MADE BLINDS ON OUR WINDOWS AND THEY DID A VERY GOOD JOB OF INSTALLING THEM. THEY WERE FAST AND THE PRICE WASN'T TOO BAD.

EACH WINDOW WAS FITTED AND PUT ON BY A SPECIALIST. THE BLINDS ARRIVED IN THE TIMELY MANNER AND PUT ON QUICKLY AND EFFICIENTLY. THE PERSON FROM 3-DAY BLIND WAS VERY NICE, PROFESSIONAL AND VERY ACCOMMODATING.
