On February 19, 2025 I sent DoctorBlinds (aka: Window Covering Wizards) $1,038.60 through PayPal as…read morea 60% downpayment on an order to purchase and instal Graber fabric vertical blind vanes and matching valances. 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.

I spoke with two persons at Shutter Shop and was told there is now a service fee for home evaluation and also repair costs for involved problems. I was told previously that a LifeTime Warrantee was in place on several occasions and to date, this has been honored. Now being told differently. I requested a call from the Manager or New Owner and have not received a call to date. BEWARE -The original company was sold and things do not appear as they originally were. I have referred to many friends/relatives to this company and now I WOULD NOT recommend using them any longer. DISAPPOINTED!!! ADDENDUM: WE have since received an email from the GM of the Shutter Shop further clarifying the Warrantee which does not cover repairs, service charges and such although does cover the shutter composite and unit itself. A return email has been forwarded to him explaining that our decision has not been made, to date, in regards to pursuing repairs at this time with the Shutter Shop. The GM was furthermore thanked for his returning email.
