1. Measure
Measuring is the first step to a perfect fit. Our easy to follow measuring guide shows exactly where to measure for timber and PVC venetian blinds. Please give us your exact window measurements: we make the small deductions needed for the blind to fit and operate properly.
2. Order
Enter your sizes below and the price updates as you type. Choose your fabric or colour and options, add each blind to your cart, then check out. Not sure about a colour? Go to the ordering page first.
3. Delivery and fitting
We make your order in our Takanini, Auckland factory and courier it to you (dispatch times are on the Shipping tab). Fitting is straightforward with the brackets supplied: see our how to install guide. Measured wrong? Our FitRight guarantee covers a free remake.
Component details
Our Timber and PVC Venetian blinds have the same kind of componentry in the head rail. We use a thick Aluminum 50mm x 50mm head box with solid durable componentry.
The Timber blinds are made from Marupa which is a type of Cedar. We paint the ends of the blinds with a matching paint. We finished the blinds off by supplying a Fascia that is stuck onto the head box to cover it up. This is stuck on by double sided sticky tape – This will not fall down, its the stickiest stuff around!
Please see below for photos of the headboxes and componentry.

All our orders are now passed through a sizing/packaging calculator at checkout to get precise shipping costs in relation to the address supplied. If the shipping looks expensive, it will be due to the location and size of the blinds. The biggest single factor is length: blinds up to 2300mm long travel with Aramex, which is well priced, while anything longer has to go by freight transport and costs considerably more. We have great depot pickup locations listed just in case the price of shipping gets too expensive.
Your order will be delivered by courier to your requested destination. You need to ensure that the destination is suitable for courier access and has sufficient space to take the delivery, otherwise the courier will need to hold your delivery at the courier depot. Your signature will not be required unless you request it. Blinds will be individually wrapped in a plastic sleeve and delivered in a ridged cardboard shipping tube. Please consider the environment when disposing of the delivery packaging. You will be notified when your order is started at the factory and then when your order is dispatched.
Please note, on blinds larger than 2.4m wide, they are likely to be delivered by a transit truck.
Returns
As the blinds were custom-made just 4U we cannot accept returns. Please follow the instruction on measuring and installation, so your blinds meet your expectations. For warranty work, Blinds4U will arrange pickup and return.
Couriers
We now use Aramex and Daily Freight for all our courier needs.
If your order is small and under 2.4m wide – this will go via Aramex (See here for ETA’s of deliveries for different areas)
If you have a large order or a blind over 2.4m wide – this will go via a transport truck on Daily Freight.
You can ask for the blinds to be picked up from the courier’s local depot if you require your blinds quicker 🙂 – Just put this into the checkout notes.
Omg why Aramex!?
As a company that sells long items, we don’t have many options. We would love to use NZ post or New Zealand Couriers, but they can only take parcels that are up to 1.5m wide – a lot of our products end up being around 2m to 2.4m wide so we cannot use these companies. If we did, we would have to use transport companies a lot more, and it makes the base price to send one item $100.
We have tried other companies that also can-do items up to 2m wide, but they were losing a lot of items which lead to customers getting their blinds delayed as we would have to re-make these.
Surprisingly Aramex has been great with all our deliveries, on average they are getting delivered faster and less missing parcels than our previous courier.
Courier damages
Please inspect your blinds thoroughly once you have received them. Due to the nature of the blinds being wide and skinny, these are more prone to courier damages.
We require proof of damage within 7 days, and we can claim these back and get new ones made. If you notify us of damages AFTER 7 days and it looks like courier damage, we cannot replace it.
Signs of damage and examples
1) Bent tubing – Your blinds won’t sit well in the window
2) End caps coming off – Your blinds may have slid out of the tube and will be damaged on the end
3) Forklift damages holes along the tube.
