Great blackout blind!!

My blind came in 10 days!! I originally wanted the graphite and realized it was too dark so I emailed them and the next day they got back to me and switched my color to titanium. The customer service was great. The blind was fairly easy to put together and fit perfect in my window. Only thing I had to adjust was tightening the string as the blind wasn't staying closed. easy peasy !!

Robin, this sounds like a really smooth experience from start to finish. We’re glad the color change was handled quickly, the blind arrived fast, and the fit came out right.

Good call on adjusting the string tension too. A small tweak like that can make a big difference in how the blind closes and stays in place.

Thanks for sharing the details and for the kind words about our support team.

I read some bad reviews and reddit posts, so I was a little nervous to order. one of three blinds fit perfectly. The other two were 95% perfect at first, but after moving them around in the window frame and realizing my frame was the issue, I would say the other two frames were 99% or even 100% perfect.

Support was very responsive and polite. All three of my windows are 100% blacked out. I've started putting tape on my electrical devices that emit light, and I've even started hiding some glow-in-the-dark trinkets. That's how dark my room is now. It's actually hard to wake up sometimes since it's so dark.

Overall, happy I too the "risk" and bought these. They were spendy, but they work and look high quality.

Michael, we appreciate you giving us a chance despite the hesitation going in.

It’s great to hear that once you worked through the fit on those two windows, all three ended up giving you the blackout you were after. Hiding the glow-in-the-dark items made us smile. That’s a pretty serious level of darkness.

We’re also glad our support team was responsive along the way. Thanks for taking the risk on Guard Blinds and for sharing such a detailed review afterward.

I had a unique situation to deal with while installing these blinds. I put in Anderson replacement windows and wanted to still use my triple track storms. This left me with no recess for these blinds. I did have a uniform flat surface available around the window.
I worked with the helpful people on their team and they made blinds to the exact size I needed to face mount them.
Production and shipping were very fast. I can’t thank them enough for accommodating my special needs !

Kim, this sounds like one of those installs where the standard setup just wasn’t going to cut it, so it’s great to hear our team was able to work around the window configuration and get you a size that worked for the face-mount setup.

We’re also glad production and shipping moved quickly once the plan was sorted. Thanks for trusting us with a less typical setup and for taking the time to share how it went.

I like a lot the blinds

I like a lot the blind that I ordered. Is high quality, so easy to install, did it on my own and I am a woman :) and it does what it should do. Now my bedroom is totally dark. I absolutely love it. Also the communication with the seller went perfectly good, whatever question or thing I had I got an answer. The measuring guide and installation video are so nice, easy to follow. I definitely recomand it.

Dan, thanks for the straightforward feedback. We’re glad you’re happy with the product itself and that our support team treated you well.

And yes, just to clarify the shipping point, Guard Blinds is based in Lithuania and our production team is in China, so orders may ship from there rather than from the U.S.

Thanks again for taking the time to share your experience.

$678 Still Not Refunded — Wrong-Sized Blinds, Shipped From China, and Now I’m Told to Wait Up to 75 More Days

I am giving Guard Blinds one star based on my experience from the beginning of the order through today.

My Guard Blinds order number is #44916. I placed the order on August 10, 2026 and paid $678.

Before production, Guard contacted me and asked me to provide more detailed measurements. I carefully re-measured all three windows exactly as requested and sent the measurements back to them. On August 13, Guard confirmed in writing that they had cross-checked my measurements and found no discrepancies.

The blinds were delivered on August 25.

When I tried to install them, I immediately discovered that they did not fit properly. I contacted Guard the same day and explained the problem. I sent photos and video. After that, they kept asking for more information, including product labels, additional photos, full-width and full-height measurements, and other documentation.

I provided everything they requested.

Despite Guard having confirmed my measurements before production, the blinds I received still did not fit. I requested a full refund of $678.

I then opened a dispute with Chase for the $678 charge. Guard told me that they would issue a full refund, but said they could not process the refund while the chargeback was active. They asked me to withdraw the dispute first.

I trusted what they told me and contacted Chase to withdraw the dispute specifically so Guard could issue the refund.

Chase issued an official letter dated August 28 confirming that the dispute was resolved and that the $678 charge would be rebilled to my account.

Guard then asked me for official written proof from Chase. I obtained the letter and sent it to Guard on September 4.

On September 5, Guard confirmed that they had submitted the Chase letter and my supporting documentation to their ecommerce platform and payment processor.

I followed up again on September 6.

I followed up again on September 7.

Still no refund.

On September 8, Guard told me that the chargeback supposedly still appears active in their payment system and that the review could take up to 75 days. They still cannot provide me with a definite date for my $678 refund.

So after weeks of dealing with this company, after providing measurements, photos, videos, product labels, additional measurements, bank screenshots, and an official Chase letter, and after withdrawing my credit-card dispute at Guard’s request, I am still out $678.

Another thing customers should know is where my package actually came from.

The shipping label on the package I received identifies the sender as “LEYOU co.ltd” and gives an address in Qingyuan, China.

I also found a Chinese corporate-information listing for a company named Qingyuan Leyou Household Products Co., Ltd. (清远市乐友家居用品有限公司) in Qingyuan. Its listed business activities include the production, processing and sale of home products and curtains.

The sender name, location, and business description appear consistent with the shipment I received. I cannot independently confirm the exact legal relationship between this Chinese company and Guard Blinds, but I can confirm that my package label shows LEYOU co.ltd in Qingyuan, China as the sender.

This was surprising to me because Guard’s website emphasizes its U.S./Texas operations.

The advertised customer-service phone number has also not provided me with a meaningful way to resolve this matter. Most of the entire process has been handled by email, and many of the replies I received read like translated or templated customer-service responses with repeated apologies but no actual resolution.

The most concerning part of this entire experience is that Guard asked me to withdraw my Chase dispute so that they could refund me. I did exactly that. Now the $678 charge is back on my account, I still have no refund, and Guard is telling me I may have to wait up to another 75 days.

As of September 8, 2026, for Order #44916:

* No $678 refund
* No definite refund date
* Weeks of back-and-forth communication
* Chase dispute withdrawn at Guard’s request
* Official Chase documentation provided
* Guard still says I may have to wait up to 75 more days

I am now documenting this experience and filing a consumer complaint.

If Guard finally issues the full $678 refund they promised, I will update this review. Until then, this is my actual experience with Guard Blinds.

Reply from Guard Blinds

Hey YJ. Thanks so much for laying all of this out. We're sorry, especially because you've already done what our team asked you to do and still ended up having to chase us for answers.

Our Customer Support Manager reviewed the full history and tried calling you today. We want to talk this through with you directly because there's an important part we haven't communicated well.

When we've said we "can't process the refund yet," we can see how that sound like we're simply holding your $678. To be clear, that's not what's happening. Chase has closed the dispute on your side but the merchant-side chargeback is still under review. While it remains open, Shopify won't allow a refund against that original transaction. We submitted your Chase letter and the supporting records on September 5. You don't need to send us anything else.

On the China point, yes, we do have a production partner in China. Guard is based in Lithuania, our US warehouse is in San Marcos, TX. Our production team in China is certified by SGS, a global testing, inspection, and certification company headquartered in Switzerland. Our blinds also use Guard's patented product design. We understand why seeing China on the shipping label raised questions but we hope that helped clear things up.

Our Customer Support Manger has also emailed you and will be handling the case personally. We hope we can connect by phone soon and get you the clarity and resolution you've been asking for.

Overpriced, fragile.

Positives: Completely Black out.

Negative:

*Takes a long time to arrive
*Not a 5 minute job
* The blind is made of a paper looking material which looks fragile and won't last in time (customer service will comment is polyester fabric, that is still very fragile to the touch).
*Customisation of measurements costs £95 on top.
*More expensive by at least 50£ for the same product of another brand.

Martina, thanks for laying out both the good and the bad so clearly. We’re glad the blackout performance delivered, but we hear you on the delivery time, setup time, feel of the material, and overall price.

We also understand why the extra customization cost would add to the frustration if the final product still felt more delicate than you expected for the money.

We’ve sent you a request for information through Trustpilot so we can confirm your order details and match this review to the purchase. Once we have that, we can review the customization charge and the concerns you raised about the product more closely.

Thanks for the honest feedback. It gives us a clear picture of where the experience fell short for you.

I replaced a previous set of blinds ( another brand) that never worked very well. I ordered the Guard black out shades and received them . Once I started the install I realized I had not accounted for the crank handles of the casement windows. I contacted the customer support group and Caroline worked with me to adjust my plan, got. the blinds installed and I spent more time bragging on the customer support response than I did on the blinds. Both elements were beyond 5* and I recommend these blinds to anyone. everything works as advertised!!!!

Foxford House, this was such a good review to read. Running into those crank handles mid-install could easily have turned into a frustrating situation, so we’re really glad Caroline was able to help you adjust the plan and get everything working.

And hearing that the support stood out just as much as the blinds themselves means a lot. We’ll make sure Caroline sees your shoutout.

Thanks for the recommendation and for trusting Guard Blinds after your previous setup let you down.
