My Hillarys blinds have only lasted 18 months.

Options
Bought two blinds from Hillarys eighteen months go and they have split at the bottom. Contacted Hillarys and they say I have to pay for them to be repaired! Even wrote to the MD and same reply. I have similar blinds from another supplier in my conservatory which have lasted 15 YEARS and they are still going strong. :mad:

  • it depends on how much you paid for them, it they were cheap compared to similar blinds then don't expect much of a warranty, if they were quite expensive then contact trading standards or citizens advice bureau.

    At a cost of £213 for the two blinds, I think they should have lasted more than 18 months.
