Vertical Blinds

1. Measure

Measuring is the first step to a perfect fit. Our easy to follow measuring guide shows exactly where to measure for vertical 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? Order free samples 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.

Fabrics

Our standard fabric range is from shaw and called VIBE; it has been around in the industry for a long time and is in many homes across the world. 

• Shaw stands behind Vibe by offering a 5 Year Fabric Warranty!
• The highest standard of quality for over a quarter of a century. The best value for your hard earned money.
• The PVC free acrylic coating has anti-fade, easy clean and antifungal properties.
• The addition of Ultra-Fresh antimicrobial additives control the growth of unwanted microbes and guarantees continuous odour control and fabric protection against mould, mildew and stain causing bacteria.
• Complies with Building Code of Australia requirements for Class 2-9 (a)

We also have a new fabric called EDGE – also from SHAW. This is a thermally backed fabric which has a pattern to the front. The colour matched backing is a nice addition as some thermal backings are only in white. 

Componentry

Our vertical blinds are all made from our local supplier
The vertical headrail is a strong 30mm x 50mm thick extrusion.

The louver hangers which are inside the fabric that attach the fabric to the headrail are made from a strong PVC but these are designed to be weaker than the componentry in the head rails, so if some one falls on the vertical blind and it breaks, 99% of the time its the louver in the fabric that will snap which is a simple slide it out, and slide in a new one – nice simple fix.

We have heavy durable weights in the bottom of the fabric so all the slats sit nice and straight. We recommend getting the chains and weights if you have any airflow through that area as it will help them sit better. Chainless do move around more in a breeze.

Samples

Shipping

• FREE SHIPPING ON ORDERS OVER $2499

• Half price shipping on order over $1499

• 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.
