From being promised a call within 2 days due to faulty shade (not their fault shade was faulty), about 5 months ago, to multiple hassles leaving messages, to rude schedulers things have gone down hill. Still, it takes effort to write a bad review so a week ago I asked the owner to call me instead. That didn't happen. Today I get an email asking me scheduling questions that were already arranged. No one is paying attention. Do not use this company, they're just in it for the money now.

DO NOT FALL FOR IT - THIS COMPANY IS A NIGHTMARE! RUN!!…read more I am writing this review to warn others about the absolute disaster that is World of Blinds & Shutters under its new ownership. If I could give zero stars, I would. I originally chose this company because my boss had a great experience with Steve & Laurie, the previous owners. Their work was excellent--high-quality products, outstanding customer service, and a commitment to standing by their warranty. Because of that, I decided to order 15 custom blinds, including 7 motorized ones, for a total cost of $11,050.00. The installation was perfect, and I was initially very happy with my purchase. THE NIGHTMARE BEGAN AFTER THE COMPANY WAS SOLD A few months after installation, one of my motorized blinds stopped working. Thankfully, under Steve and Laurie's ownership, this was never an issue. two of my motors stopped working (between 2021 and 2023), Steve personally showed up in a timely manner and resolved it, no hassle, no excuses. That's what I expected after spending this kind of money and knowing I had a warranty, come November 2024, my living room blind motor stopped working I as well called Steve to find out the company had been sold to a new owner, however, Steve says no worries is an easy fix you are cover, it will be the same process as before just call them and they should be able to take care of this which it could take 2-3 weeks max. I was, perfect will do. When I first contacted the new owner, she assured me that it was a simple fix--just a matter of filing a claim with the manufacturer. Great, right? WRONG! here is where my nightmare starts, countless messages, calls, bunch excuses and now solution. 5 MONTHS LATER... STILL NO RESOLUTION November 2024: I contacted the new owner. She took forever to respond, and when she finally did, she promised to take care of it. Nothing happened. December 2024: I followed up again. More excuses, no action. January 2025: I asked for the claim number so I could handle it myself. She tells me don't worry I am working on, I did not realize I was calling the wrong manufactory etc. so claim number was not provide it, instead giving me more empty promises. February 2025: Still no claim number, no replacement, no solution. At this point, I have a completely non-functional blind in my living room for four months, which is beyond frustrating. I can't open or close this blind. March 2025: I finally got her on the phone. She claimed she would call me back with an update. She never did. I texted and called multiple times afterward--no response. I called last week and today no response, so I decided is best to share my story and save you some time for you not to deal with this BS. TERRIBLE CUSTOMER SERVICE & LIES This woman does not care about her customers. She has ignored my calls, texts, and emails for months. When she does respond, it's nothing but excuses, delays, and outright lies. How hard is it to process a simple warranty claim? Her incompetence is beyond belief. If you are thinking about ordering blinds from World of Blinds & Shutters, DON'T DO IT! You will be throwing your money away. Buy from literally anywhere else--Amazon, Home Depot, a random street vendor--you'll get better service than this joke of a company. I will attached screenshots in google reviews of some of our conversations so you can see for yourself and below how utterly unprofessional, dishonest, and unreliable this company is. Save yourself the headache. Run far, far away from this company! Needless to say, all good reviews are thanks to the previous ownership Steve and Laurie, if you pay attention the bad reviews are all new reviews to the new ownership lack of service, massive red flags. don't walk, RUN!!

Attention!! Choose Another Company for Blinds, Shades and Shutter!…read more This Company is now under New Ownership! Reviews on this website that show Outstanding were when Steve & Laurie were owners. New Owner Does Not provide Product which has been Paid for since November 9, 2024. She does not respond to customers who have problems with products already installed and in our case still waiting for wind treatments (Shutter) that were paid for November 9, 2024 and NOT Received.. There are Many other Professional Window Treatment Companies in Bradenton & Lakewood Ranch of which provide quality and outstanding service. Most Importantly they respond and provide product which you pay for.
