    What originally began as a very good review of this company has come to this. In Feb 2025 I ordered the Classic Cordless Blackout Cellular Shades with 1X1 blackout strips. While a little delayed over the time frame quoted, it was not a delay worth noting. But the shades arrived without the blackout strips. A week past the delivery, I called to get the strips thinking perhaps I had left that off of the order. It was not my mistake and shortly after my call I received an email that a new order for the strips was processed. I waited quite a while for that shipment, but I proceeded to install the blinds assuming the strips would arrive shortly. When they arrived, they were the wrong size, so I called again. And I waited. And waited. I called again when they had not arrived a month later to check status. They gave me the original order of the wrong size as delivery confirmation. I explained those were wrong and was told the request would be resubmitted. After a week with no email I phoned again to be told that the size I ordered does not exist. It is now past the ******************************************* to destroy the blinds and refund me. I just want what they sold, but that doesnt exist anymore. But it is still an option to buy on their site. I spent much time and effort with removal of of coverings to install these, so they will not be destroyed. I will find another way to make it right. I would caution to not expect this company to actually fulfill orders as made and then stretch out telling you until it is too late. There are way too many options for blinds out there, so I would suggest to use those instead.

    Hi ****, thank you for taking a moment to leave your feedback and experience with your recent order. I am so sorry to hear you didn't received your blackout light blocker strips with your shade and that the size received afterwards wasn't what was originally requested. We would love to look into this further. Please email us at ************************************* at your convenience. We hope to hear from you soon!

    Im not sure what more there is to look into. I already spent quite a long time on the phone multiple times to get the item as ordered to be told on the third call that what your company sells on line does not exist. The first two times I waited ample time for get the black out strips as ordered because I was not told that they did not exist, so the satisfaction guarantee time conveniently expired. I trusted that when I was told (twice) that the correct item would be sent, so I went ahead and put in much effort prepping, painting, and hanging what I had while I waited for the third time to get the blackout strips in the size I had ordered. After all of that, I am told that the item you list on the web site does not actually exist and that my only course of action is to destroy the pieces I do have leaving all of the work that I did an months that I waited for naught. I am glad that I started with a small order to try the product first and will find a company that can deliver what they sell for the other 20 windows I want to change out.

    Do not order from American blind! They take no responsibility for there product will not refund your money and blame the customer. My problem was not the fit or the color it was the missing tie downs for extior shades.The instructions show them are bungee type which would work well except they didn't send them. When I called customer service I am told there are not available for my shades. So they sent some useless plastic clip and send sorry . So that's $800.00 shade blowing like a sail. Thanks for nothing .

    I ordered a blind that was not what was as advertised on the website. It came with 70% frame molding and a small blind to insert inside. My window already has frame molding. CSR was surprised that the item was offered with a frame molding.
    American Blinds offered a remake with only inside track, great solution.
    Now they advise the product is delayed and will be delayed 45 days,
    I just want a darn blind, and not willing to wait another 45 days.
    I want a refund. Told that's impossible, they do not offer refunds.
    Ask to speak to a supervisor, told that's 4-5 day delay - that's just silly.
    I want a refund.
    It would have been faster for me to run to a local retailer. Why bother using online if it's more trouble than going out to the store?
    I would avoid buying from AB; you're not saving time!
