Good quality and good service!

We had nice new blinds fitted in our bedroom, landing and hallway. Not only are we happy with the quality, the level of services was great too!

Thank you for your comments which we will take on board and please accept my our apologies for any inconvenience caused. All our calls are recorded and I have listened to the calls to fully understand the problem. Unfortunately one of your blinds was damaged and there was a confusion re the two remaining rollers that will be fitted on the day agreed. With regards to replies if we are wrong we will hold our hands up but obviously we will defend derogatory or defamatory comments to ensure we safe guard our brand thus ensuring local job security in what is a very demanding world. With regards to unhappy customers we do strive to rectify issues as quickly as possible and are proud that with over 35 years of trading we have many happy customers who return for additional blinds.
Again please accept our apologies and we will turn the replacement blind around urgently.

Absolutely terrible service

Absolutely terrible service. Arranged a visit between 12pm and 4pm, no show. Called them numerous times and they said they had rang me (load of rubbish). Each advisor said they would follow the call up and get back to me… I never heard back. Awful customer service, strongly recommend using another company unless you want your time wasted.

As per the reply below. Abusive, get a grip. Nothing wrong with the lady who took the call. I said you were a load of sh** because your service is a load of sh**. If you did ‘strive’ to keep your customers satisfied you would have called to update me or rearrange etc. Not once did that happen. Also, they probably don’t deserve to be spoken to like that. But nor should your customers be sat wasting their time and having to call you over and over while you make zero effort to resolve the situation.

Good Morning Mr Kell
Please accept our apologies but there was a genuine mistake made on our behalf with regards to inputting your mobile number onto our system whilst arranging for the estimator appointment. It is very disappointing for us as we do have many satisfied customers and we would have liked to have had the chance to explain this to you when you called but (all our calls are recorded) unfortunately you became borderline abusive to our member of staff stating she was talking sh** and when she asked you not to talk to her in that manner and again apologised for the misunderstanding you stated that you would be putting reviews on stating we were a load of sh*** and then hung up!
Our staff strive to give the customers the service they deserve in what is a very demanding environment and they do not deserve to be spoken to in such a manner.

Do not use this company!!😡

Do not use this company!!😡

We ordered a roller blind in the showroom as we don’t want anyone in our home at the moment, so we supplied the measurements of the window.

When I collected the blind it was “rolled the wrong way exposing the white blackout backing material when rolled up and not the silvery blind colour, we had seen this before so specifically asked to avoid it.

I was told simply unroll the blind and reverse the roll it may crease but it will be ok, although no offer from A1 to do this.

The reroll didn’t work because of how it’s made, I contacted them immediately and was told nobody would take a call and I should email the Info email address. We did this and NO REPLY, so I chased again to be transferred to Sam the customer care person, or rather customer don’t care 😳😳.
She told me A1 blinds don’t make blinds the way my blind was made (even though she was looking at the photos I sent them), obviously I asked who had made it ??.
Sam was a very arrogant, unhelpful and matter of fact individual that never called back or returned emails without me chasing, eventually she said they had made the blind this way and would send a fitter into our home to make it work.
1.we don’t want anyone in our home.
2. A £165 blind should be made correct not bodged to work.

We asked for the blind to be remade correctly or a full refund, she can’t authorise a refund it has to be the Manager, who won’t talk to us !.

However a refund was offered, another of my emails ignored when I asked how this would be processed, so we returned the blind and was given a CHEQUE refund although we paid by credit card in their card reader.
Again neither Sam or Manager were available to talk to.

This is probably the worst experience we have had dealing with aftersales. Also be aware the measurements you give to them the will take some off when making the blind , something we were not told.

It’s really disappointing and the colour and material of the blind we liked ☹️☹️☹️☹️

Good Morning
We do apologise that there was a misunderstanding with the measurements given and the fact that the blind had been rolled not as you had expected. At the time we were trying to look at how this could be rectified but you became very unreasonable making threats of putting bad reviews on social media even before a resolution could be agreed and also borderline abusive to our staff hence the reason that a refund was given.
As a very well established company we strive to give 100% customer satisfaction but at times we may get it wrong but will always ensure that all efforts are made, working with the customer to fulfil our obligations.
We are very sorry that you feel this way as we do have many satisfied customers.

Stay away! Very poor customer service if you have a problem

Ordered perfect fit blinds for my patio doors, And they definitely are not perfect fit! Massive wonky gaps at the top of the blinds, The fitter took them back straight away but left 2 odd ones on my doors. Had a phone call from Sam who told me they are worn on the inside so they will have to make new ones! When I questioned Sam about them being worn as supposedly they are be made to fit/brand new, she back tracked and stuttered. Straight away this give me no confidence in the blinds so I asked for a full refund, If this has happened straight after manufacturing how are they going to last a year or two. Was told to email info@A1blinds as no manager to speak to apart from the company director who monitors the email address! Wow no managers!! Received an email back from Kevin Taylor MD saying refund will not be given, we will make some new ones! Kevin Taylor the MD then started to mention terms and conditions, but I still owe half the money, So how am I in a contract?? These blinds have not been in my house longer than 10 minutes, faulty, damaged, worn and they refuse to give me my money back!

Unfortunately there was a problem with the blinds and we immediately apologised for the issue and the inconvenience caused and offered full replacements as per our terms and conditions. Mr Harvey immediately refused this offer giving us 14 days to remove the two remaining blinds and demanding his money back, at no point have we refused a refund.
We will be in contact with Mr Harvey to offer a resolution as customer service is paramount and by offering an immediate replacement for the faulty goods with no argument we initially deemed that this would be good customer service and acceptable.

If only they had kept their appointment…

If only they had kept their appointment time I would happily have given them 5 stars, but they kept me waiting for 2 hours past the agreed installation time, and it was me who had to chase them. Other than that, they were very good: prompt attention to my enquiry, good choices, great prices, and completion well within estimated date.

Excellent Service

I recently used A1 Blinds for an office refurb and they were fantastic from start to finish. They came out and measured quickly and the blinds were fitted within a week. I am now looking for some blinds for my home and I will be contacting them again.

Never again, look elsewhere for your blinds

Since the very beginning, their sales agent who dropped by at my property put me and my partner in a bad mood by rushing us into making a decision quickly taking any joy away from the experience and we would later find out that he had even taken all the measurements wrong, if you can believe it!

The fitter, and I feel bad for him, had to come over three times as the blinds were of the wrong size first, and then another one was not even straight!

Some of the blinds were also delivered a bit dirty, one has a stain, and their finance people hounded me by calling three times in the space of an hour while I was working from home to receive payment for the second half (after I had paid the first as advance payment), which I've realized only too late it is absolutely far away from reality for the "quality" and service offered. (I found other companies that would offer better quality blinds for slightly more than half of what I paid them.)

Unfortunately for me their company has been actually suggested to me by a work colleague who had his blinds fitted by them in the past (five years ago), but it's quite clear to me that the quality of their service has dropped massively to say the least in the last five years.

They refused to offer me any form of discount for the disservice and inconvenience (stating that their terms allowed them up to 31 days to fix any problem, your own free time, time without your blinds and the annoyance is worth nothing to them apparently), and I am still not even satisfied with the end in result.

All in all, dreadful service, experience and quality, I wouldn't recommend them to my worst enemy if I had one.

Do yourself a favor and find yourself a better supplier, I would also encourage anyone to measure and fit them yourself if you can handle a bit of DIY, as they can't even be trusted with getting the measurements right.

Please accept our apologies for the inconvenience caused and the fact you felt the need to leave a poor review, we take all reviews very seriously as part of our continuous improvement.
Unfortunately there was a genuine mistake made that should not of happened but we did not shy away from our obligations and we returned the blinds in question to the factory for them to be remade and refitted them within one week. Again unfortunately there was a quality issue with one of the blinds which we rectified and had the blind returned and fitted within one day.
With regards to the final payment we called and left a message and left it for three to four hours and as we had not had a reply we called again to ensure everything was okay
We are perturbed that you state that there are still some quality issues, you may not be aware but your blinds are covered under warranty so please call our customer service department at your convenience to make an appointment for them to be inspected.
Again please accept our apologies but as stated previously we have not and will not shy away from our obligations and strived to have the blinds rectified in the shortest period of time.
Many thanks

I'll be back :-)

Over the Moon with my lovely new Blinds from A1 - I went with 3 sets of Wood Blinds and 1 Set of Vertical Blinds. The Quality is excellent, and the Service was spot on from coming out to get measured to them getting fitted... All very efficiently done and Safe (especially under current Covid restrictions) and most importantly a great Price. Couldn't be happier, will definitely be back and wouldn't hesitate to recommend them.

Bad from day one

Bad from day one. Abysmal customer service, shocking communication, just a catalogue of errors all the way along, I would avoid this company in the future. Staff dont know what they are doing and no managers anywhere across three stores at 4pm on a thursday. forgot our order, didnt order enough blinds, calling me the day before fitting to advise vlinds werent in stock, the list goes on. Use another company.

Thank you for your review. We understand your frustrations and apologise for any inconvenience caused. We would like to note that whilst there had been some errors with your order, from start to finish the General Manager and customer service team maintained contact throughout and also reduced the balance as a gesture of goodwill. We understand the blinds were fitted on the last appointment to your satisfaction with no further issues.

We take your comments on board however as we learn and improve as a business.

Kind Regards

One can only speak as you find regardless of what others may think, one can never please everyone that is true in all walks of life, personally I found A1 blinds to be deserving of their name, A1 in personel from front desk to fitting, the venitian blinds I choose were a first class product, although I must admit I had help in choosing from an A1 employe who also turned up to fit them, no hassle or fuss just highly skilled at his job, I will have no qualms in recommending them to anyone who is looking to have new blinds, highly recommended from start to finish, A1 does all it says on the tin.
