Help. Received incorrect custom made window blinds?

Macklin — Mon, 05 Apr 2010 00:01:31 +0000

Hi,
I ordered windows blind from Homedepot 2 weeks ago and just received it. When I ordered, I gave them the measurements in centimeters but Homedepot salesperson converted them to inch measurements.
When I received the blinds today, I found that it was 10 inches too long. The measurement I gave when I ordered was 207cm which is about 81", but the order form says 92 inches. I’m sure there must’ve been a mistake during conversion or when they input the numbers into the computer.
Would I be able to get a replacement? I’m worried they’ll just say I already signed the form after looking at the measurements. But I didn’t have a calculator with me, and I just trusted the person with the conversions. What should I do?

What is the best place to order Window Blinds?

I just got new retro-fit windows in my house and I love them! But now my old blinds don’t fit anymore. That’s okay because I was ready for a change anyway.

I would like to order white wood or faux-wood blinds for many of the windows. Where is the best place to get them? I have looked at blinds.com and that looks good, and I am thinking about having Budget Blinds come out and give me an estimate.

Has anyone had any good or bad experience with either of these companies, or any other nationally operating companies? Thanks for any suggestions!

Is there any way to have a custom wood window blind repaired without spending a lot of $?

I’ve had these wood blinds that I purchased at Home Depot about 15 years and now the strings are breaking one by one so that they are useless. I called the manufacture and they wanted a lot of $ to replace the strings. I’m wondering if it’s possible to find a place that can replace the strings for under so that I don’t have to buy new ones- which cost upwards of 0.

Need help with wood blinds..look at pic?

Anyone in fashion good in Interior Design? Help me out : )?
So we are buying a wood blind for our window.
We have the kind of windows that slide upwards.
The window has three glass panes that lift up.
We were wondering what would look best:

-One whole blind? (The girl said it would be heavy but shouldnt go lopsided when lifting)

-Or, three blinds, one for each glass pane. (would this look good? We’re hoping if we go with this that it will all blend in and look like one blind.)

Which would look best in your opinion and would the second look funny b/c we’re leaning towards that as we are scared one whole blind will go lopsided.

The window looks very similar to this (same size also):
