Hillarys Blinds

Advantages: I've learnt a lesson
Disadvantages: No blinds!

...we received a leaflet from Hillarys Blinds advertising a Half Price Easter Sale, this seemed like perfect timing as we wanted to have blinds in most rooms of the new house rather than curtains. I called Hillary's the day after moving and they said they would send somebody around the next day to give us a quote. We had an advisor come around who quoted £1000.00, this seemed very expensive however we really didn't know what blinds cost and we were ...
...signed his corrected copy. Hillarys quickly took £300.00 from my credit card as a deposit. The following Friday came and went, annoyed that what we had been told was not correct, but we accepted that maybe things were getting knocked back a couple of days because of the Easter break. We still had not heard anything after 3 weeks so I called Hillarys Blinds to find out where the blinds were and not only had they not made them, the quantities were ... Read review

Advantages: Made me laugh.
Disadvantages: Waste of time.

...have just had somebody from Hillarys come to measure up and give me a quote on wooden venetian blinds for two 4ft wide windows. The quote was £622.00!!! John Lewis supply the same sort of blinds for £55.00 or £75.00 each, depending on the wood. I can fit them myself and save £472.00. A friend had vertical blinds installed on all the front windows of her 1930's bay-windowed semi for half of the price I was quoted. Clearly Hillarys are trying to ... Read review

Advantages: Salesman turned up when he said he would, good quality blinds
Disadvantages: None as yet

...a little scared about using Hillarys Blinds after reading some of your reviews but was attracted by their current red hot sale so decided to get someone round anyway. I did it all over the internet which was so quick and easy to make an appointment and the guy came round when i had asked (a surprisingly rare occurance nowadays!). I picked out my blinds and the guy arranged to come back round to fit a couple of weeks later. Once again he came round ... Read review

Advantages: None
Disadvantages: Lots of hassle

...phone call so rang the hillarys number spoke to two customer service people with no joy at all so rang again demanded to speak to manager, they spoke to the fitter he said he was fitting them the next day ( news to us as we were both at work that day). Was no longer interested and after then reading other reviews on here demanded a full refund and would never reccommend to anybody as it's just not worth the hassle you have to go through. They will ...
...leader or manager but you must insist on this as their attitude towards the customer is more proffesional and if you insist on a refund they are in a position to give it to you. By the way the lead time is 3 weeks on any blind so don't let the sales advisor tell you otherwise! ... Read review

Advantages: Made to Measure, Very good quality, someone else does the hard work!
Disadvantages: having to take a morning off work?

...curtains). I know people say Hillarys are expensive, but there are more expensive companies out there, and the advisor was so lovely and helpful, took no time at all in the measuring, and was happy to wait whilst i took ages to decide on the blinds i wanted! To be honest, the blinds were cheaper than what i've paid in the past for ready mades, and then the replacement curtains!! Only 2 weeks later, i was the proud owner of some lovely blinds, which ...
