Hi, I've been finding buying blinds a nightmare, so many companies, so much variety in quotes, unknown quality ..
I need 6 x 60cmx200cm venetians and 2 x 60cmx200cm rollers . .
anyone got any recent experience of buying blinds?

We've just bought 4 made to measure blinds including one roller blind (other three were wood venetian) from an ebay shop. The price was really good and the blind made to measure - having recently had to cut an off the peg one to size myself (nightmare) I'd recommend the m2m option.
I can't remember the shop name but it's something like 'blinds4u'. I'll check that. But you also got a discount for ordering over the phone which was much easier than ordering online.
Hope this is helpful,0 -
Thanks Henster . .
Again though there are so many companies on ebay it makes it tough! like these guys:
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/NATURAL-WOODGRAIN-venetian-blind-blinds-60cm-x-213cm_W0QQitemZ380040309111QQcmdZViewItem?hash=item380040309111&_trkparms=72%3A12%7C39%3A1%7C65%3A12&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14
perfect size for me . . but ridiculously cheap . .
so i guess the question is a proper internet shop at believable prices or an ebay shop like the one above?

Wow, that is very cheap indeed.
Ikea's LINDMON venetian blinds come in three shades, dark wood, light wood and an off white painted colour and would be £22 each in the size you need. They do some rollers and roman blinds but I know about the venetians because I swear by them. It's the drop that makes them more expensive - a 155cm drop is £7.99 like the ebay people.Everything that is supposed to be in heaven is already here on earth.

Hi Dan
I've checked the box of ours and it was from 'blindscape' - an ebay shop. I am not sure how much the roller blind cost individually but we had difficulty finding readymade to fit our windows and these come cut exactly to the size you order. The delivery took a couple of weeks but all the blinds we ordered from them seem to be of pretty good quality.
Good luck with yours!0
