On March 21, Brian Baker, the owner of DoctorBlinds informed me via email that DoctorBlinds could not fulfill the order as the manufacture (Graber) had discontinued the fabric I had selected. Accordingly, the order should have been cancelled by DoctorBlinds at that time and my payment refunded promptly thereafter. In lieu of such, Mr. Baker unilaterally decided to attempt to find potential replacements for the discontinued items. He initially promised to bring such potential replacements to my home the following week for my consideration. The promised home visit never occurred however. In fact, over the course of the next two months Mr. Baker repeatedly reneged on promises to either bring or send replacement samples to my home. Frustrated with his lack of responsiveness, I requested a refund several times in followup emails to Mr. Baker. Finally on Saturday, May 3, 2025 I received a small batch of potential replacement samples by USPS mail. Finding none of them to my liking, I so advised Mr. Baker, requested that he abandon continuing efforts to find replacements, and again requested a refund in an email to him on May 5, 2025. Receiving no reply to such, I sent a subsequent email to Mr. Baker on May 12, 2025 reiterating my lack of interest in continuing efforts to find replacements and insisting that I receive a refund by May 23 otherwise I would seek redress through PayPal and other lawful means if necessary As I did not receive a refund by the May 23 deadline I had imposed, I submitted a complaint to PayPall requesting a refund of my February 19, 2025 payment of $1,038.60 through that service to DoctorBlinds. On May 30, 2025 I received an email from PayPal indicating that I was receiving a refund of $1,038.60 as the complaint had been resolved in my favor. It is very disconcerting that it took over three months (February 19 - May 30) and the intervention of PayPal to receive a refund from DoctorBlinds for an order they could not fulfill.

I am sorry that you felt the need to respond the way you did. I was never called and informed that…read moremy blinds were delayed. The only time I heard from you is when I called and left a message inquiring about the status of my blinds. No one ever picked up the phone and always left messages. I was told that the valences would be installed with in a week and I was never called to let me know when they would be installed. I was told that the owner himself was going to install them and they should only be a few days. Turns out I had to call again to find out the status of the valence installation. I paid you in full at the time of my order. No one ever told me that the valences would have an extra charge. Had you done so we could have worked the charge. I have my texts and other correspondence info if you would like to look at it and see how bad our communication with each other is and how I initiated the phone/text conversations all along. I hope to pass on better Karma than you have sent to me. A business owner should never be rude and ignore a customer. I worked for a family business for many years and customer service was something we took pride in. We never would have responded the way you did to me. This order was placed in mid December and when the valences finally came in they were the wrong size. This job was not fully completed until April 12.

However recently one slat became disconnected from the side and the entire shutter was askew. It is known that if one slat is bad, you usually have to replace the entire shutter-ugh, very costly. Called Steven's and he and his wonderful assistant came to my home within a week. After a thorough investigation, he was able to repair and what a relief. In addition he tightened a few weaker slats and in my bedroom saw that the Plantation Shutter door was hung incorrectly.Then he reconfigured the entire side. Although there was a charge for the home visit and a minimal charge for repair, I was so lucky to have chosen Steven from his online recommendations. In the end, I was able to save thousands of dollars because of his expertise, perseverance and generosity of spirit!

Blinds and Designs is fine as long as you are ordering blinds and having them first installed…read more. But their customer service afterwards is deplorable. I have a minor problem with one of the plantation shutters they installed in my house a year ago. Over the course of at least a month or maybe more, I have called at least four times to ask for a repair Each time the person answering the phone puts me off with some excuse and says they will get back to me. I have yet to hear from them regarding an appointment. I am willing to wait, if necessary, but would like a firm appointment time. No luck. No one calls back even though by now they know who I am and what I want. So, if you get blinds or shutters, hope you never need a repair.
