Anyone bought from Blinds, poles & tracks direct?

I am looking to buy some blinds and I have found them cheapest on Blinds, Poles & Tracks direct.

However, I have never used this website, nor can I find any review about them. I am weary of parting with £100 and not knowing anything about the company...

Has anyone used them? They state they are UK based, but I can't find a company address on the website or VAT number, just a phone number for customer services.

i had my first set of blinds fitted by hilarys as they had a 50% sale meaning they were just as cheap as cheaper firms compared to quotes i had.

would consider having them made by cheaper companies now i know what it entails.....

perhaps get some local quotes to be on the safe side?

Makes you wonder what the quality is like from £7 plus..? I would definitely question what fabric they are using to make your blinds with.....Paper?

Other things to look out for:

Discounts ? These are full of terms and subject to etc.
Read the adverts carefully:
50% off...............off what?
2 for 1............hmmmmmm how much is the 1st one?
Key words to look for:
"from"
"upto"
"selected fabrics"
"certain sizes"
"on selected"
"buy one get one free"
These are all terms that will catch you out.


I find it best to deal with a small company as i feel they are there for their customers and wanting to give you the best deal they can to retain your custom and not there to rip you off like many do on the net with glorified sale deals and 50% off offers.

I know the particular blind I am ordering - it is not made by this company, they are just selling it. I had these blinds in previous house, and I paid a lot for them 4 years ago (about £80 for 160cm width, I think).

Anyway, I decided to order from them, and see when they come. I had some money in paypal account from ebay sale, so decided to give it a go.

I'm looking at ordering some poles from this company, did the things you want arrive in time/as described?

Thanks

The blinds arrived exactly what I expected, the same as I had before, for a fraction of the price, delivery was very quick and well packaged. I am very happy and I will be ordering more of the same blinds for other rooms.
