This company is very poor

This company is very poor. Blinds were delivered one of which the tilt was in the bracket making it difficult to open and close. I’ve been emailing them for weeks and spoke to a staff member on the phone and I’m still getting nothing back from them. Two other blinds have also have dents in the slats. I’m at the point where I want a refund. I’ve used other blind companies before who have been spot on, 1st time I’ve used swift and never again. I’d avoid if you’re thinking about buying blinds customer service is appalling.

Received a messaging stating the factory have said the blind is perfectly fine…strange how I have another one exactly the same from the 5 I ordered and this he tilt mechanism isn’t trapped in the bracket.

Hi Dan,

Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. We're very sorry to hear about your experience and appreciate how frustrating this situation has been.

We understand your concerns regarding both the operation of the blind and the condition of the slats you received. Please be assured that we are actively working with our manufacturing facility to investigate the issues you have reported and to determine the most appropriate resolution.

While the factory's initial assessment was that the blind met specification, we appreciate that this does not align with your own experience, particularly as you have other blinds of the same type for comparison. We are continuing those discussions on your behalf and reviewing the information provided.

We sincerely apologise for the delays in communication and any frustration this has caused. Our intention is to resolve this matter as quickly as possible, and we will continue to keep you updated as soon as we receive further feedback from the factory.

Kind regards,
The Team @ Swift Direct Blinds

Bad customer service

I ordered 3 vertical blinds and paid £20 extra insurance to cover incorrect measurements. One of the blinds was too short due to their mistake and they want me to pay £10 shipping to send me the correct slats. This is bad customer service.

Avoid this company - Very Disappointing After‑Care

I ordered wooden Venetian blinds for my entire house, and two of the sets arrived with faults. The slats do not stay closed, and it’s clearly a tension issue with the mechanism. I sent videos showing the problem, and the response I received was honestly ridiculous — they told me not to fully close the blinds. What’s the point of blinds that can’t close?

I also tried calling several times and no one ever answers the phone, which makes resolving issues almost impossible. For a company that isn’t the cheapest, I expected far better customer service and product reliability.

Once they have your money, the after‑care is awful. Based on my experience, I would avoid these guys and recommend shopping elsewhere.

Customer Service

I recently bought blinds from this company. Unfortunately one was damaged on receipt - the other 3 were perfect. I contacted the company and received a response from Michael. He was extremely helpful and quick to respond each time I contacted. He arranged for a replacement to be sent. As I was due to go on holiday he also arranged to have it delivered to my sisters address, checking the system to make sure that the address had been amended before it was dispatched. Dealing with the same person through the process was a great experience. Thank you Michael.

They sent the blind the wrong size - refused to refund

They sent the blind the wrong size. They then several times got me to take pictures to prove they were the wrong size. They then said I'm using it incorrectly. I checked again (it isn't exactly a complex mechanism). Still the wrong size. They then just said I'm wrong.

Appalling communication

I hate to leave a bad review without chatting it through with the firm as there is often a good reason for hiccups.
But I placed an order 2 months ago, order number 500262637. I have heard nothing from them. They do not reply to emails or phone calls, and their chat box does not appear to be human.
They seemed very helpful in the ordering process.
But I am worried as they have my money but have gone completely silent.
Have they gone out of business? Should I try to get my money back? Who knows?
I am still hoping some beautiful shutters are going to arrive. Even if they do, I'm afraid they are appalling with their communication.
UPDATE on 26th July
Well I got a pleasant reply after I placed yesterday's negative review.
Much appreciated, thank you.
We can gloss over the ignored emails I guess.
Shame I had to leave the negative review. I assume it would all have been fine if I had just quietly waited.
I will leave my review however as it might help others if they get a deafening silence for a couple of months after ordering from Swift Direct Blinds. Perhaps they should not worry!
Not the way I would communicate with customers but that's just me.

Dear Martin,

Thank you for taking the time to leave a review.

We sincerely apologise for the concern and frustration caused by the lack of communication regarding your order.

Having reviewed your account, I can see that your chat message was sent at 5:30pm, which is when our office closes, and as a result we were unable to respond until the following morning. During that reply, we confirmed the estimated delivery date for your shutters. I can also see that you called us at 4:16pm, and I'm sorry that we missed your call on that occasion.

We completely understand your concerns when you've been waiting for an update, particularly after such a long period of time. We appreciate that this left you feeling worried about your order, and for that, we are truly sorry. Clear and timely communication is important, and we regret that we fell short of the standard you expected.

One of our team will be reaching out to you directly to discuss your experience, provide any further updates on your order, and address any outstanding concerns.

Thank you for bringing this matter to our attention, and please accept our sincere apologies for the inconvenience caused.

I would not use this company again

I would not use this company again.
Poorly made blinds, poorly packaged, you will have do dispose of faulty blinds at your own expense.
Yes they are cheaper than other companies but in my opinion it is not worth the inconvenience - we ended up having 3 sets 4 of blinds delivered, 16 blinds in total and only 2 of them we were able to use as they were not damaged. We now have to arrange for disposable of the faulty blinds at our own expense.
The only positive was the customer service, they were prompt and arranged for replacements quickly, we given a refund for 2 of the blinds as we requested but they declined any further compensation for inconvenience and dissatisfaction.

Dear Louise,

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback.

Please accept our sincere apologies for the time,
inconvenience, and frustration you experienced with your order. We appreciate that receiving multiple deliveries and replacements, only to find that many of the blinds were damaged, has been extremely disappointing.

While we're pleased that our customer service team was able to arrange replacements promptly and process a refund for the blinds you did not wish to replace, we fully understand that this does not make up for the disruption caused. We are especially sorry that you have been left with the additional inconvenience of disposing of the faulty blinds.

Your comments have been noted and shared with the relevant teams, as we are always looking for ways to improve both our products and the overall customer experience.

Thank you for bringing this matter to our attention, and once again, please accept our apologies for the difficulties you encountered.

Dear Callum,

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback.

We're very sorry that your experience did not meet your expectations. While we understand your frustration regarding the stock availability of one of the products you ordered, we would like to provide some clarification.

Having reviewed your case, we can see that a member of our team contacted you on the morning of your review, confirming that your blind had been delivered the previous day and left safely with a neighbour. We can also see that there were several logged attempts to return your calls, although it appears we were unfortunately unable to reach you.

We would also like to clarify that not all of our products are available with next-day delivery, and we're truly sorry that one of the blinds on your order was unexpectedly out of stock, which affected the lead time.

We appreciate your feedback as it helps us identify where we can improve our communication and service, and we sincerely apologise for the frustration caused.

Good Quality Blinds but poor Customer Service

We ordered three roller blackout blinds of varying widths with a drop of 2.3m. This would therefore suggest larger windows with a fitting height of 3m high. The blinds were delivered with a standard 0.8m cord, which we cannot reach from the floor.

I understand the potential Health and Saftey issues but why not clarify the fitting height prior to manufacture.

We are now more than two weeks since our original order, which was next day dispatch (it wasn't next day but 48 hours was still acceptable), and we still haven't received replacement cords.

How can the company manufacture blinds from scratch in 24 hours but not replace cords in two weeks.

I have now issued two emails without even an acknowledgement, hence review.

The blinds are of good quality but customer service let's them down. If your order is correct, you'll be fine. If not, good luck. We have now been two weeks with no blinds in the brightest month of the year.

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback.

We're pleased to hear that you're happy with the quality of your blinds, but we're truly sorry for the frustration caused by the delay in receiving your replacement chain and the lack of communication you experienced while trying to resolve the issue.

We understand how disappointing this has been, particularly when the blinds were installed in time for the brightest months of the year. While chain lengths are supplied in line with child safety regulations, we appreciate the concerns you've raised regarding suitability for higher installation heights.

We can confirm that your longer chain is now on its way to you, and we hope this will resolve the issue as quickly as possible. Thank you for bringing this matter to our attention, and please accept our sincere apologies for the inconvenience caused.

Avoid because of customer service

Update : no one contacted us directly.

First their delivery is always delayed for some reason, then they sent the wrong colour and tried to blame it on us ordering the wrong one. Not a single apology during the whole process, a 50% voucher on our next order would have gone a long way. We need another room's worth of blinds but now we will go out of our way to find a website that is not part of the same group.

Stay away from this company. Disappointed at the least

Disappointed at the least.

Part of my order didn’t get delivered. They think it got damaged in transit.

The whole process no will take up to 4 weeks from when I paid to when they say I will receive it.

I paid for a 4-5 day delivery.

Now they are going to send the blinds back to Ireland and they don’t even no if they are damaged.

The blinds that turned up also wasn’t very good. Wouldn’t recommend.

Also customer service can’t be bothered.

Hi Dean,

I wanted to provide you with an update regarding your damaged blind and explain the expected timeframe for your replacement.

Your damaged package has now been scanned by the courier for return to our supplier. We have been advised that it is due to arrive at our supplier's distribution centre in Birmingham on Monday.

Please note that Birmingham is a distribution hub rather than the manufacturing site. From there, the blind will be forwarded to the factory in Lisburn, Northern Ireland, which typically takes around two working days. Once it arrives at the factory, the blind will be inspected before a replacement is authorised and dispatched. This inspection and redispatch process usually takes a further 1–2 working days.

Provided the inspection confirms the blind has not sustained any additional damage in transit, we expect the replacement to be dispatched from the factory on either Friday 17th or Monday 20th.

Delivery from Northern Ireland to mainland England is typically 3–5 working days. We allow this timeframe to account for transportation across the Irish Sea and onward delivery within the UK.

Based on the current information, the best-case delivery window for your replacement blind is between 22nd and 24th.

We appreciate your patience while this process is completed and will continue to monitor the return. If there are any changes to the schedule, we will keep you updated.

Kind regards,

Customer Experience Executive

Thank you for your feedback, Dean.

We're very sorry to hear about your experience and understand your frustration regarding the delay to part of your order. Unfortunately, the package containing your blind was damaged whilst in the courier's network, and before we can authorise a replacement, our supplier requires the product to be returned and inspected. This is a standard process that helps ensure the correct resolution is provided and allows them to assess the cause of the damage.

We appreciate that this has extended the overall lead time beyond the original delivery estimate, and we fully understand how disappointing this is when you were expecting to receive your blinds much sooner.

Having reviewed your correspondence with us, we can see that regular updates have been provided throughout the process, including detailed explanations of the return journey, inspection requirements, and expected timescales. We are sorry if this communication did not meet your expectations, as our intention has always been to keep you informed and help move the matter forward as quickly as possible.

Kind regards,
