I am delighted with my new plantation shutters and have ordered more for the rest of the house. Both Leon and the fitter were both very professional and know their product comprehensively.

I contacted the Blinds place as I was seeking 'NORMAN' plantation shutters to match some existing ones that were already in the house. The Blinds Place seemed one of the few companies that had these. Leon came over to give me a quote and I found him to be excellent. He knew exactly what he was talking about and was able to give some very helpful advice. I proceeded with the order straight away. Stefan and his father that installed the shutters were very nice men and they did an excellent job of installing them. I've had a lot of positive feedback about the way they look so I'm happy!

We love our Roman blinds made by Blinds Place. We were uncertain about the best option for us, and confused by the numerous conflicting views from other manufacturers. So we were pleased with the thoughtful and honest guidance from Blinds Place. The service was excellent from the visit to the Showroom to measure, quotation, installation and post sales follow up. Our calls about details of the making process were welcomed and answered precisely. The small problem we had was rectified promptly without question. The blinds are made to a high quality and work well. We would happily use Blinds Place to make future blinds for us.

Great company to work with and good quality product. Irene from the design side came out and really knew her stuff, gave me great advice and helped me pick colours and designs that really suited our house. The guys who measured and installed were also great, you could tell they knew the product ins and outs and what would work best from the install and fit side of things. The installers even removed all the boxes the blinds arrived in, which doesn’t happen nowadays! The only small gripe I have is that the installers left sawdust from drill holes everywhere. Would have been nice if they had cleaned up after themselves. Other than that small negative, very happy with the products and the service.

We have just had installed our third lot of Plantation Shutters by The Blinds Place Moorabbin. As always from the first phone call, through to the quoting process, along with the test measure, to installation, everything has gone like clock work. Not to mention the Shutters look fantastic. Nothing was too much trouble. Even our tricky Bay Windows look amazing. Great to see after all these years you sent out the same experienced installers today. Thank you so much we look forward to doing business again with you soon. # NO 2427

Leon the sales person was very helpful and professional talking me through the selection of fabrics and giving me choice of colours for the hardware. He also recommended a slimline double blind bracket that was perfect for my window so I could fit both a blockout and privacy blind in my windows. The office staff were also professional and Leon organised for me to drop into their showroom in Moorabbin to make sure I was happy with my colours and could see samples of what I was getting. The Blinds Place were also the cheapest out of 6 quotes I had. The production of my blinds were 2-3 weeks as stated by Leon and the installation guy was on time and did a fantastic job. I am extremely pleased with the result.

Ben is a great person to deal with. He sent me out 2 clips for my panel glide blinds free of charge, when initially I sent photos of my clips to 30 other Blind suppliers, and no one was willing to help me. Great service and supplies.

We required a new blind for double sliding door. We received excellent recommendations from sale representative, the cost was below other quotes, and delivery and installation was faultless. We had previously contacted 2 well known companies, and we discovered The Blinds Place provided far better service and price. Happy to recommend, and will definitely use again.

We were delighted with the final result of our venetian blinds, the exact fit and the transformation of the spaces where they were fitted, all well within the agreed timeframe. The ordering, measuring and consultation process was also top notch. The consultant who initially came to our home was charming, personable and reassuringly knowledgeable and organised, happy to take the time to build a relationship and do the job properly. My recommendation is 100%.

The Blinds Place was fantastic, from the very start to end. Measure and quote was thorough and everything explained in detail, and then in writing. Flexible payment options, and continuous communication, and then the fantastic installers again thorough. Everyone we dealt with was super nice, friendly.

What an Outstanding Company!!! Late last year we desperately required improving the appearance of our front rooms by making our existing drapes obsolete, my wife insisted that we acquire at least 3 quotations, well the search began, the first company we called failed to make contact, the second blind company came along and this guy was more your typical salesman, he carried out the measurements and indicated if we signed the contract there and then we would qualify for a further 5% discount, I indicated I would notify him once I receive another quote and left it at that. For weeks on end I was harassed as to when they could do the job. We finally called The Blind Place, the salesman Leon was punctual, articulate and totally honest, Leon was by far more knowledgeable , there was a sense of relief knowing we were dealing with a Professional Company. Measurements were carried out, Leon gave us an approximate installation date, highly skilled installers pitched up , did the installation and we cannot stop admiring the shutters. Totally Satisfied and we are ready to place another order.

High quality plantation shutter at very competitive pricing with professional installation. We're delighted with the end result.

I Rang The Blind place to ask about having a Canvas outside blind replaced as as I had spoken to other company's that would not do replacements of canvas.They were extremely happy to talk to me and suggested that one of their reps call and inspect the condition of the outside awning.. Within three days Leon arrived. He was excellent very professional ,obliging and told me it could be done . His quote was acceptable,the range of goods was acceptable, the measure and quote was done on the spot and I was told the New Canvas would be made and fitted in two weeks, and it was. Corey rang to arrange a time to come and fit it. The whole process was as quoted, I was amazed. I Have recommend the company to several of my relatives that require this type of service. My only complaint is they take to long to Process a cheque .As I payed the balance by cheque and I am still waiting for it to be cleared. Top Mark's to both Leon and Corey and the phone staff.

This is the second time we have used The Blinds Place and we couldn't be happier. From product advice, to measuring, ordering and installation, the process was seamless, highly professional and everyone involved, a pleasure to deal with. We would not hesitate to use The Blinds Place again and highly recommend to anyone needing any type of window dressings in their home.

Phoned The Blind Place as one of my roller blinds had been pulled down too far and the fabric separated from the roller. Cannot speak highly enough of Ben who met me at the factory and spent 3/4 hour reattaching the blind. What a pleasant and helpful person who would not take any payment for his work.

Megan Ficarra

09:14 05 Nov 20

I love my new roller blinds & Roman blinds! Leon was very helpful, professional & respectful of my taste, whilst also being honest in his thoughts. Installers also listened to my comments/feedback & made adjustments when necessary. Couldn't be happier!!

The mark of excellent service is where advice and practical help is offered long before price is mentioned. When my plantation shutters required a small replacement part Ben was quick to explain a DIY method to fix the problem then provided the part without allowing me to pay for it. And I'm not even been a previous customer. What a refreshing and professional attitude!

Joanne Donelan

04:20 08 Feb 21

Beautiful product - carefully and professionally installed as a result of precision measurements taken by consultant. This is my 2nd series of plantation shutters from this company and I thoroughly recommend the quality and service provided.

Great service, great selection, competitive prices and quality product that is made in Australia. The process was easy from free quote and measure to installation. The installer also cleaned up and did the removal of old blinds for me. Absolutely love my new blinds

I have used The Blinds Place twice now for advice and installation. Both times, Ben was incredibly patient and informative about my options, what would work better or why something might not work. Despite covid restrictions or delays beyond his control he remained in contact to ensure I was updated. Exceptional quality of service and the fitters were friendly and on time.

We ordered a number of venetian blinds. Not only were the staff easy and pleasant to deal with, but they assisted us with customising our order to suit our specific requirements, without any hassles at all, and then followed through to ensure our order arrived correctly. Couldn't be happier. Alex.

High quality product! Leon Anderson came by, measured our window, and gave us a very good price even though we only had one window that needed a shade and not a house full. We were promised a 3 week turn around and it was ready in 2 weeks! Laurent our installer was punctual, courteous, careful and quick. We love that we can still see our beautiful stained glass window colors through the light filtering fabric while still maintaining privacy. We highly recommend The Blinds Place!

Great Value, Great Service, Great Quality After trying 4 other blind and curtain retailers we have finally found the best. From the prompt and efficient measure and quite to the installation of our blinds we found the staff of The Blinds Place to be knowledgeable capable prompt and efficient. Great people, Great Company ‘

We bought both day and night blinds for a few rooms in our unit. The people at The Blinds Place were very honest and helpful and the shop was very well laid out so that everything was right there on display. After a check measure, the blinds were ordered (to size) and then installed promptly. After installation it turned out that we needed one of the strings for the blinds to be adjusted in length because the window was behind a wide kitchen bench and it was a bit hard to reach the string. They came out and did that for us promptly and at no extra charge. We are quite happy with the service overall.

From start to finish, these guys were terrific. Professional, attention-to-detail measure and quote; great follow up with order and billing; and the lads who installed the blinds were efficient, friendly and polite to a fault. The blinds themselves are great quality and look schmick. Thoroughly recommend this company!

We have recently had awnings installed, and found the service we received from The Blinds Place to be excellent. They were very thorough with the quoting process to ensure we got exactly what we wanted and their communication and installation was also excellent.

I had my blinds (blockout and sun-shade) professionally installed today by Stefan and Audie of The Blinds Place. Both were professional, friendly and courteous. This was preceded by an initial consult with Leon A. who provided knowledgeable advice, great customer service and interacted with us in a positive and trustworthy manner. Leon made you feel that no questions were silly questions and he could explain the reasoning behind each and every one of his recommendations. When compared to other quotes from competitors, it was Leon’s customer service and attention to ensuring that my concerns and questions were fully answered, as well as a 5 year warranty, that sealed the deal. They are competitively priced - not necessarily the cheapest, but the adage “You get what you pay for” generally applies, so going cheapest is not always the best option. The care that Leon took and the advice that he offered was worth paying the little extra. I recommend this business without reservation to others who are considering getting blinds done.

Rob Moulton

The guys here did a great job for us. They were prepared to have a go at a motorhome which is not their usual install situation. They turned up when they said they would and had the product delivered when they said it would be delivered. The blinds look fantastic. We are really happy with the product & service.

Steph H

11:50 02 May 22

We had a great experience with both Leon and Stephen from The Blinds Place, with sale and installation of roller blinds for our new house. Leon is so knowledgeable and just a lovely guy, and Stephen’s installation was spot on and super efficient. The blinds are great quality and exactly what we were after. Timelines were transparent and met with no issue. No hesitation in recommending The Blinds Place - we would absolutely use them again.

Great service! I needed some spare parts rather quickly for my venetian blinds. I gave these guys a call after trying some other places and their response was 'not a problem'. Drove down that afternoon and picked them up. Couldn't have asked for more. Happy to recommend them.

Marlene Reardon

Leon came to my house to measure for the blinds and assist with colour/pattern selection. He arrived on time and was extremely helpful and professional. The blinds arrived on time and were installed quickly and efficiently by the courteous installers. The blinds are of good quality and look great! I recommend The Blinds Place for all your blind needs.

Ken Williams

We are very pleased that we chose The Blinds Place to replace a wooden Venetian blind (2.6 metres deep) in the bedroom and install a roller blind in the kitchen. Between Ben at HQ, Leon the on-the-spot assessor and Laurent the installer, everything went smoothly and the result is very satisfactory. A job well done.

Jan SMITH

03:05 28 Jun 22

We are so happy with our new Plantation Shutters. From the quote to installation we had a smooth run. Everyone was informative, helpful and pleasant to deal with. We could not have wished for better service and we would not hesitate to recommend The Blinds Place. Thank you all.

From the placement of the initial call to the installation of the blinds, The Blinds Place were prompt and efficient every step of the way. My mum, who received the blinds was very impressed with the service and the end product. Vertical blinds have come a long way and The Blinds Place replaced them within two weeks of ordering them. Quality and colour match is very good. Would recommend

I could not believe that in AU anything which involved tradies doing some home improvements could go so smooth. But this is company made me have hopes that pro still exists. From quotation to instalation proccess was so easy that I barerly notice and 6 blinds in my home were swaped to motorized one with coloure maching so good that nobody noticed that something changes. Recommend.

Bronte Annand

00:18 02 Mar 23

Blinds came super quick within 2 weeks when other companies told me 3 months from measure to install. Product quality is fantastic and installation was very easy. The team were fabulous to deal with after the fabric I initially ordered became out of stock and they express posted new samples for me to pick from so they could put the order through ASAP. Couldn’t be happier with them!

The blinds place have excellent quality blinds and all at a really affordable price, I'll always come back to them. The team that they have give you great service from the moment you contact them all the way through to the installation. Ben the consultant is very friendly and helpful. If you need new blinds then don't bother with anyone else just give the blinds place team a call, you won't regret it.

I originally ordered a blind for my sister and it was excellent quality and value. I decided to order one for myself and the quality was great for the price once again. The only let down was the courier chosen by The Blinds Place. I was working from home and noticed the tracking status of my order indicated that no one was home so item not delivered. I called the delivery company straight away and the women who answered was pretty blunt and I felt like I was just a bother calling. She contacted the delivery driver and he came back. The delivery driver stated that he could not find a park earlier. The courier was TFM Logistic (TFMXpress). So all up, the product was great but the delivery service is not the best.
