Always nerve racking when buying blinds online, especially when you want, quality, well priced, and easy communication... Don't hesitate with Blinds Online, follow their advice and you can't go wrong. I've bought a house load of their stunning wooden shutters for a villa and Honeycomb blinds for a beach house. Ryan is an excellent communicator, knows his product and gives help if needed with measurements, and right blind for purpose. Their products are well priced and top quality. Their fitting of shutters in an old villa was meticulous with excellent results. The Honeycomb block out blinds are a total block out of light and keep out the summer heat and the cold in winter. Love the hand pull down option. Every aspect from placement of order to delivery has been a 10 out of 10. Thank you Blinds Online

Fantastic website as well to help navigate the product and help with comparing it against others to help the buyer understand pricing and how the product is truely value for money. Thanks and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend. All the best with your blinds online business and might be back in the new year as now considering fitting out all the windows instead of just the street facing rooms - am very impressed:)

Just received our blinds this morning. I couldn't wait and have installed them already and honestly they are amazing. There were a few nerves about my measuring skills. But I must of measured at least ten times! They fit perfectly. Was a breeze to install and are of such a high quality I deliberated on what kind of window coverings would work for our space. But at every turn I felt I was going to have to compromise somewhere. Until I found the blinds in your range. They fit well with our narrow sill inside the frame without taking up the view when they are up Thank you again for a great blind product and service from beginning to end. I won't hesitate to order from you again and recommend to others to order from you too!

High quality blinds for very good price, not much more than super cheap sites but way better product. Ryan very helpful and great communicator, I had lots of requirements for several large windows, nothing was a problem. Although done online, I was able to visit a showroom to see examples. Ramiz excellent installer and also helped me with advice on measurement. Would definitely buy from Blinds Online again. (NOCOWBOYS)

Excellent service, thoroughly recommend. We decided to get the windows and doors measured as we required about 17 blinds so didn’t want to make a mistake especially as we were mid renovations. Ryan had a local contact he could use who also fitted the blinds. Ryan was a pleasure to deal with, he answered all queries promptly and advised on options to suit our budget. He was not at all pushy but once we had decided on the products he got the blinds ordered and delivered ASAP, there was an issue with damage in transit but this was sorted with minimal delay. I would definitely recommend this company and I would use them again. The fact they are based in Auckland and we are in Tauranga was not an issue. we were wary of sub standard products so did a lot of research first before finding the right one.

We chose the full service option, with measuring and installation handled by a professional. We were looking for some blinds to cut down the heat coming through two windows in different rooms. Ryan was very flexible, offering alternatives based on what we said at the outset and then revising them once the windows had been measured. He kept me up to date with the progress and took the time to check in again after installation to make sure that everything was to our satisfaction. The local blinds online NZ installer was also great, arriving promptly as arranged and handling the work with no fuss. Three days later and the blinds are working perfectly, providing privacy and cutting the heat down whilst still keeping the light coming through. Will definitely use Blinds Online again.

Just purchased our new home. Now it was time for window dressing, I knew the type of product I wanted, but hadn't found what I was searching for. Along came Blinds Online, great communication and a wide product range. Sorted downstairs with PVC Venetian blinds. I needed something quite specific upstairs, Ryan from Blinds Online put his thinking cap on, came up with the perfect solution, Silhouettes. Now with that in hand, Ryan then tracked down a sample for me, well, not just a sample, but a working model I could attach to a window, perfect, sold, we had found the solution. Blinds Online certainly went the extra mile on our job, always happy to bring along another sample, and there were a few, I can't speak highly enough of this company, and a special thank you to Ryan.

Hi there, would just like to tell would be purchasers of blinds of our brilliant experience with Ryan from Blinds Online. We contacted him on referral from our builder a couple of days before Xmas. Even though it was really close to the Xmas madness he came out with all his blind samples and measured up our bedroom for some quite challenging windows. As promised, the blinds were ready exactly 3 weeks from our acceptance of the quote and the installation was done on time and with the minimum of fuss. We would wholeheartedly recommend Ryan and Blinds Online to any one looking for a professional and competitively priced job!

I cannot stress the importance of going that extra mile when it comes to property presentation for that ultimate end result, attention to detail has you standing out from the rest. When dealing with Ryan and his Blinds Online team I had total confidence that he would deliver a top notch service and product and he didn’t let me down on either! Thanks for making it so easy Ryan, my blockout blinds look fantastic. If you have a client coming to the market, completing a renovation or working on a project of new builds these are the guys to deal with! They have several financial options for your clients so they don’t have to compromise on style and quality…it makes a whole lot of business sense. Look forward to working with you again soon Ryan, keep up the good work.

Do you do free in-home quotes and consultations?
We don't do free in-home consultations. Companies say they do however it is a cost which everyone charges for it one way or another. I encourage people to send in rough measurements first for an initial quote. If it's a new build your builder will have a window schedule you can work from. From an initial quote you will get a good idea whether we are a good match. If you've been referred or have done your due diligence you'll know we don't mess around with cheap low quality products however sit well below the higher costs charged by retail. If this is the case and do want us to come out we charge $98 for a blinds related visit or $138 for a shutters or outdoor products related visit. This covers my installer’s time and expertise. This amount is built into the quote if you are proceeding, or will be invoiced separately if you decide you're not proceeding for whatever reason. We have all the samples with us if we’re coming out. We offer DIY or SERVICE depending on what you need, and can also send out loan samples if this helps. If you'd like to get a quote please fire through the details. If you'd like to get us out to your place please send your address and an idea of what may be needed. We'll call and book you in asap.
Is Blinds Online Public or PRIVATE?
Blinds Online is i: Ryan; a man; and i operate in the Private; Any requests for payment to you is compensation and fair exchange for my time, effort, energy, labour, and the product you requested, as quoted
How do Blinds Online operate, how do I get a quote?
The biggest misconception people have is that Blinds Online is an online blinds business, only. While we do supply DIY clients, we also look after clients needing the measuring and installation done for them. Giving a brief history lesson (to show our strengths, experience, and where we've come from), Blinds Online started by cleaning and repairing ALL brands of blinds. We added new blind consults as we were so often asked, 'which blinds were best'. Today we help both DIY and SERVICE clients and you customise the approach that works best for you. We supply instructions to assist DIY clients toward getting the measuring and installation done correctly and confidently. For those of you needing the final measuring and installation done, we come to you – provided you're near one of the main NZ centres we cover. An importance difference to be aware of when dealing with Blinds Online as a service client is that first step. We encourage you to send in measurements for an initial quote. Blinds Online don't provide free in-home consultations. No one does! We're just upfront about it. To send an employee out in a vehicle to someone's house is a cost of business and all businesses need to factor this in to the final price you pay. The free quotes you get are the ones you didn't accept, however the quote you did accept had the jobs they missed factored into the price as well. That's business. I encourage people to send in approximate dimensions to start with for an initial quote. This way a quote can be done quickly and you get a perfect idea of where Blinds Online sit in the market and in relationship to your budget. All without giving up your time and effort to meet us at home. It also cuts back on costs for us both and really focuses in on assisting our clients keen to do business. For those of you with new homes where the thought of measuring all the windows is a barrier to doing business; I can quote off a 'window schedule' that should be available through your builder as a PDF. Email that in with an idea of what products you want, where. And I'll have you a quote we can discuss, before you know it. I know this approach is different, however it seems to work well for 95% of people approaching Blinds Online. Get a feel for us by looking at Google where we have a 5 STAR rating after 93 reviews and at NoCowboys where we have a 97% rating after a whooping 400+ reviews. Hit 'Get A Quote' and let's get started.
I have no idea what type of blinds I should chose!...
Well, that's ok. Let's divide the subject into what is most practical for you (this is subjective), and price. To discover what makes the most sense for you and for the environment you are trying to create let me ask and make the following general questions and statements to get you thinking: What have you used, seen, or had in the past, and what did you like or not like about them? What worked well for your needs? Do you need complete privacy? Do you need privacy at night or just during the day? Are the blinds for bedrooms or living areas? Venetians are great in terms of controlling light and privacy as you require. Roller blinds need less cleaning than Venetians however they are just up or down really. There is no micro light adjustment control in the same way as you can get with Venetians. Sunscreen roller blinds are good if you just need to cut back glare, reduce UV rays, and only require daytime privacy. Sheer roller blinds provide soft light during the day but still give complete privacy day and night. Aesthetically: This is personal preference. Some people like Venetians, some people prefer roller blinds. We probably supply slightly more roller blinds however there is no right or wrong here and you won't be judged! I personally feel roller blinds give a less fuss cleaner more modern look however Venetians are best at micro-adjusting the light, the view, and your privacy needs throughout the day and night. Price related notes: Generally speaking roller blinds are more economical than Venetians. Roller blind pricing does fluctuate depending on fabric choice though. Venetian blinds in terms of cost (lowest to highest) are: Aluminium Venetians, PVC Blinds, 50mm Wooden Venetians, and 60mm Wooden Venetians. Entry level sunscreen and blockout roller blinds are close in price to Aluminium Venetians. The higher end of sunscreen fabric choice (e.g. Sheerweave) comes in more expensive than Aluminium Venetians but more economical when compared to PVC Blinds. Blockout blinds using top price fabrics (e.g. Gala) are usually still more economical than PVC Blinds. Perhaps more simply put (lowest to highest price wise): Aluminium Venetians, basic Sunscreen and Blockout roller blinds (all grouped together), then Sheer roller blinds, followed by top end blockout roller blinds, then PVC Blinds, 50mm Woodens, and lastly 60mm Woodens take the prize for top price position. I used a sample size of 4 blinds with random but varying sizes to calculate the above ideas of cost. Please use this as a rough guide as there are factors that may push and pull price in different directions: e.g. blind widths, blind sizes, fabric choice, number of blinds, motorisation, etc. As a suggestion: get a quote for your most desired approach and we can always do further quotes if required from that point.
Do you have a showroom? Where are Blinds Online physically located?
Blinds Online provide options for both DIY and SERVICE focused clients nationwide. We're everywhere in the online sense. I encourage both DIY and SERVICE clients to start their journey with us by sending in rough measurements and an idea of what they want, for an initial quote. All blind fabrics and colours can be viewed online in the COLOURS section of each product page, or for rollers and romans, within their 'fabric selector' pages. If the quote looks good we can certainly send out physical loan samples for you to view. If you're a SERVICE client wanting to proceed (and within Auckland), Lawrence or Ramiz will have all the samples with them when they visit to measure up. I don't currently have my out of Auckland installers set up with samples. If you are out of Auckland I'd be sending samples to you directly, irrespective of whether you're a DIY or SERVICE client. Our showrooms are shared spaces and don't always have all the products we offer within them. Please read on for more specific guidance depending on the products you're after. Some showroom visits are by appointment only. I'd encourage you to phone ahead at any of the locations to make sure someone will be there for you. SHUTTERS can be viewed during the week at Aspect Shutters, 36 Crooks Rd, East Tamaki, Auckland. Showroom visits are by appointment only: 9am – 3:30pm, Monday to Friday. Please email your preferred visit day and time to ryan@blindsonline.net.nz. HONEYCOMB & ROLLER BLINDS can be viewed at Penrose or Mt Maunganui as follows: PENROSE, AUCKLAND SHOWROOM: It is essential to phone ahead and make a time for the Penrose showroom. This will ensure someone will be there to let you in and show you the product. Please call 0508 274 888 to make an appointment. Generally speaking someone is there from 9am to 4:30pm, Monday to Friday, however it is best to book in to avoid turning up to a closed showroom. Santa Fe Showroom, Unit 4, 761 Great South Rd, Penrose, Auckland. Please advise them Ryan at Blinds Online Ltd sent you. MT MAUNGANUI SHOWROOM: The Mt Maunganui showroom is manned five days a week. No appointment necessary here: Santa Fe Showroom, 142 Newton St, Mt Maunganui. Weekdays only (8:30am–4:45pm). Let me know how you go and how I can assist next. Please advise them Ryan at Blinds Online Ltd sent you. ROMAN BLINDS (using roller blind fabrics) can be viewed at our Auckland showroom: Vanda Showroom, Unit G, 166 Marua Rd, Mt Wellington, open 9am to 4pm, Monday to Friday. I encourage you to make a time with Racquel on either 0800 826 326 or enquiries@vanda.co.nz. Let Racquel know Ryan at Blinds Online sent you; she will be able to help you with any roman blind enquiries. NB: This showroom only has roman blinds using roller blind fabrics. There are no roman blinds here using 'soft fabrics'. To view 'soft fabrics' you can visit many of the fabric houses across the country. Just ask me to send you the detailed email that lists these showrooms. VENETIAN BLINDS aren't currently displayed in a showroom however I can send loan samples nationwide or they are with Ramiz or Lawrence if we're coming out to do an Auckland check measure for SERVICE clients. NB: If you've searched for Blinds Online through Google you may see a Milford, Auckland address listed. This is a postal address only and is required by Google for our business listing. There is no showroom at Milford, Auckland. Any doubts or confusion please get in touch with me at ryan@blindsonline.net.nz.
Why would I choose Blinds Online?
Welcome; I'm Ryan. My key strengths and focus centre around people and processes. In that order. So I'm most interested in getting the right product and solution for you (not me). My ideal scenario is moving us through a seamless process in which you feel well informed, kept up to date, and where at the end, once the blinds are installed, you feel so inspired you'll write a glowing blinds online review and want to tell all your friends and family about your Blinds Online experience Blinds Online currently have well over 500+ super positive reviews, firmly hold a 5 STAR rating on Google, and range between 97-99% across multiple NoCowboys profiles after 15 years offering blinds online. In this time Blinds Online have only had 2 negative reviews from which I have learnt lessons and made changes to future proof both you and me Blinds Online focus on delivering the easiest and most informed process. Right from your initial enquiry or question, through quoting, ordering and all the way to receiving your blinds and beyond. There are always areas I'm looking to improve and with your feedback Blinds Online continues to get better and better You also predominantly deal with me, the owner, which provides a dynamic and level of ownership not commonly available elsewhere. Another key difference from pretty much all other suppliers of blinds is that i pick and choose which products and components, across different price levels and ranges, that I supply to you. I'm like you in the process of choosing blinds except potentially better tasked to make informed product decisions with my 11 years experience i'm constantly evaluating and comparing blinds online products. I'm not constrained to using any particular brand, product line, parts or manufacturer. You don't often get the best roller blinds from the people that do the best venetians, or shutters, or honeycomb blinds etc. Different manufacturers have different strengths and experience, so I pick, choose and spec what's best, weighing up price, value, support and true lasting quality My prices are fair and sustainable for products that last and operate well. Blinds Online sit above much of the crap available in the blinds market, that doesn't last, and sit below the inflated prices of many large retail brands. An important aspect leading me to be able to detect lasting quality or not is from the 7 years Blinds Online spent cleaning and repairing all brands and makes of blinds. This all makes for great unique reasons to interact with Blinds Online, and i welcome your enquiry
Do you send blind samples out, which I can view at home?
Blind samples can be sent out for all products we offer (except shutters). We ask that you please return blind samples promptly as we actively recycle these on to the next client. There is also a significant expense in making samples. For returns, most samples fit neatly in a $3.5 NZ Post bag, at most a $7 post bag. The upside of having blind samples sent out is that you can view them in your home, at your leisure, and have others weigh in on colour or fabric choices, if required. Before sending blind samples I do encourage people get quotes to ensure we sit within your budget range. If considering honeycombs please narrow down the specific colours you'd like to view. All colours within the different venetian ranges are sent out together; so no need to be colour specific; only venetian range specific. When it comes to rollers and romans (blockout, sunscreen or sheer) there are too many fabric ranges to send them all out. All colours within a specific roller/roman fabric range are sent together; so please just narrow down the specific roller/roman ranges you want to view, to perhaps 2 to 4 ranges. All product colours can be viewed on the specific product pages or the associated fabric selector pages. Have a go – I've tried to design a way of viewing all colours relatively easily, online initially. If you are within Auckland and we are conducting a check measure/consult visit, before proceeding with manufacture, then my installers are setup with most blind samples for you to view. For some of you it may also be relevant to view, FAQ: 'Do you have a showroom? Where are Blinds Online physically located?'
My quote is more than I want to pay...
Are you factoring in replacing cheap blinds sooner than you expect? Blinds Online don't compromise on the quality of any of the products supplied for good reasons. Us remaining friends long into the future is one reason. I encourage people not to buy cheap or readymade blinds, as experience has shown they simply don’t last. True quality blinds are made with superior manufacturing practices and experience. They also use superior components and reputable fabrics, all made with New Zealand's higher UV conditions in mind. They also operate smoother and more reliably than cheap blinds. You end up paying more in the long run for cheap blinds. I have personally seen this over and over again having run a blind cleaning and repair division for 7 years from 2008 – 2015. I still frequently come into the picture after people have learnt the hard way that 'cheap blinds cost more'. After a bottom-rail falls off, a control mechanism breaks, fabric frays, parts become brittle, etc etc. Blinds Online supply solutions that last and investing in lasting quality blinds save you time, energy and money in the middle to long term. Learn the right questions to ask potential suppliers on each of the specific product pages and avoid learning cheap blinds cost more, the expensive way!
We want daytime privacy, without losing all the light, but blockout and full privacy at night; What are the options?
Often we want the option of having two window coverings in the same window; Different spaces, different times of day or night, call for different solutions really; Something to filter or cut back the light during the day; maybe to protect the furniture and floors and give daytime privacy without blocking the world out; But come night-time we need full privacy or the ability to create room darkening; There are several different approaches to achieve the above; all with their own pros and cons; You could have a 'dual' roller blind system; Also know as 'double rollers' or 'day/night' roller blinds, depending on who you're talking to; This is essentially two roller blinds on the one bracket system; a sunscreen roller blind for the daytime, and a blockout roller blind for night; Brilliant! The things to weigh up with the above approach are: what available depth of window jamb do you have to play with? Dual roller blinds will consume more window real estate in both depth and height when compared to a single roller blind; Windows jambs around 100mm depth, or more, give ample room to make dual rollers work for you; Shallower reveals may call for inside mounting the sunscreen blind while outside mounting the blockout; Or maybe having the dual roller blind system protrude into the room slightly isn't an issue for you; Cost wise you are roughly doubling your spend, as you are putting two blinds in each window instead of one; Think which windows actually need both blinds, or not; And while you're considering that there are also sheer roller blinds to consider as these may work well in some areas of your home (these are one blind, instead of two, which kind of deliver both main functions); It's best to read the top few FAQS on sheer roller blinds to fully understand this largely unknown blind solution; Right, now that was the roller blind way of providing you the versatility you were after; You can also achieve great results with 'day & night' honeycomb blinds; These are again essentially two blinds in one but rather than stacking two blinds together, this option sees both a sheer fabric and a blockout fabric above and below each other in the same single blind; If superior thermal efficiency is important to you, as well as the versatility we're discussing here, then day & night honeycomb blinds may be for you; Day & Night honeycomb blinds are generally speaking a higher priced solution when compared to 'dual roller blinds' (can depend on the fabric chosen), however it can be money well spent when weighing up the practical aspects, thermal efficiency, and power savings you'll get with honeycombs; To better understand 'day & night honeycomb blinds' find the FAQ entitled, 'Do you offer the 'DAY & NIGHT' feature? within the honeycomb blind FAQS; And as always i am happy to do multiple quotes, for you to consider, and answer any further questions you may have; Just email me with window dimensions, reveal depth, and what you're considering, or send the details through on a 'Get A Quote' webform; PS: Another approach some people take is to have a sunscreen roller blind mounted inside the window frame, and a blockout roman blind on the outside to fully cover the window (we no longer do roman blinds); The blind solution best for you comes down to your available jamb space, budget, and the look you're after really
I want something cheap, it's just for a rental property...
No, no, no...I encourage people to buy lasting quality blinds; not cheap or readymade blinds. Factor in replacing cheap blinds sooner than you'd expect. Even more so for rentals where the same level of ownership and sense of having spent good money for blinds isn’t always present in the way blinds are treated and operated. Blinds need to be robust and have a good level of lasting parts to protect them from people as well as the outside environment. I don't compromise on the quality Blinds Online supply for good reasons. Cheap blinds simply don’t last and I've seen this time and time again having run a blind cleaning and repair division from 2008 to 2015. In this time a third of Auckland's hundreds of property managers used Blinds Online. I've seen all makes and brands of blinds and know the importance of investing in lasting quality. Blinds which have been made using superior manufacturing practices and experience. Parts and fabrics that have actually been designed and made for New Zealand's high UV conditions. Not just imported as the cheapest parts that can be found to sell at the lowest price. I explain how to ensure you're choosing lasting quality blinds on each of the different product pages. You end up paying more in the long run for cheap blinds and I still see this often when people come to me replacing their blinds because bottom-rails are falling off (because they are only glued), a control mechanism breaks because it's become brittle or weak as a result of lower grade plastics being used, fabric is fraying (because it hasn't been cut using the right equipment or procedures). The reasons to avoid cheap blinds are many. Not to mention your time spent dealing with blind failures along the way. Blinds Online supply solutions that last. Save yourself the time and money long term and buy lasting quality blinds now. Learn the right questions to ask potential suppliers on each of the specific product pages. Cheap blinds really do cost more!
Do Blinds Online clean and repair blinds?
Blinds Online did extensively clean and repair blinds of all brands and makes for a period of 7 years however now focus on supplying new blinds, shutters and awnings. The period spent cleaning and repairing all blind brands has set me up to know intimately what lasts and what doesn't; blind supplier wise, componentry wise and what procedures and processes (or lack of) lead to shortcomings down the track. Blinds Online supply and spec materials and procedures that avoid the supply of inferior made blinds. For cleaning and repairs my recommendation is to use Bruce Jones and his company, Onsite Blind Cleaning & Repairs. Bruce has nearly 20 years experience cleaning and repairing blinds and is my pick of the companies that provide these services. His team would welcome your business or enquiry. Please mention Ryan at Blinds Online referred you (if you remember). Onsite Blind Cleaning & Repairs can be contacted on 0508 253 262 or (09) 2963237, email them or visit their website
Do you accept credit cards?
Yes, i am able to accept credit card payment through PayPal; i prefer direct bank transfer as this keeps the cost down for you however yes i can accept credit cards if preferred; paying by credit card through PayPal does add 3.5% to you quote total which is what PayPal charge me; let me know before i send the compensation total due, so it is included, or if the credit card is an afterthought, i do have info regarding all this on the compensation presentment i send you; you'd let me know by email that you'd like to pay by credit card and i would update the presentment accordingly and resend; That's all a longwinded way of saying, yes
How does Blinds Online's blind delivery work?
We use different freight and courier companies depending on where you are situated in NZ, and what length your packages are. These freight and courier companies are separate entities to Blinds Online Ltd. Depending on what you've ordered and how long the packages are, your order may come from different factories and be split across different courier companies. Once your blinds online order is despatched, the factory will advise me and I'll give you a heads up that your blinds are on their way. Generally speaking orders travelling within the North Island are up to 2 days depending on where you are. South Island deliveries are generally 3–4 days. If you're in the depths of somewhere rural I'd add another day or so to be safe, before panicking. I find depending on where you are in NZ, if there is a weekend or a holiday in the mix, and if the blinds transition through a depot on their way to you, this may add another day. If the courier has missed you they should leave a card and you can arrange a new delivery time. Courier drivers can have a mind of their own at times, I find; please remember we are not the courier company or driver. If you feel your blinds are taking longer than the guidelines here, please get in contact and I'll make enquiries. Packages need to be signed for. Please also read the FAQ, 'Is there anything important I need to know when receiving my Blinds Online blinds?', below.
Is there anything important I need to know when receiving my Blinds Online blinds?
Yes there is. Please always sign for your blinds as ‘SUBJECT TO INSPECTION’, regardless of how packages look from the outside. If there’s visible damage to any of the packages, sign as ‘DAMAGED’. Once you've accepted and signed for your blinds in a way other than above we cannot make a claim with the freight or courier company for damages (if there are any). Don’t panic, damage isn’t common, however in the event something is broken then we're in a good position to claim against the courier company. But only if packages are signed for as above. If goods have not been signed off as above and turn out to be damaged, any replacement charges are the responsibility of the receiver (you). So please remember to sign for blinds as either SUBJECT TO INSPECTION or DAMAGED, as applicable. All blinds online blinds have been test operated and leave the factory in perfect working condition, free of damage.
