Very good experience from start to finish. Purchased multiple sets of blinds from Swift Direct Blinds on different occasions and can’t fault them at all. Customer service and product quality amazing.... See more

Ordered Conservatory Blins and they were delivered VERY quickly. They kept you posted on your order. When they arrived 2 slats were wrong but a quick email to the aftercare service, this was resolved very professionally and replaced the slats. 101% I’d recommend and will certainly be buying more very soon x Keep up the good work Melanie & her team are fab.

Excellent blind made to order.
Very impressed by the updates keeping me informed about manufacture, quality control, dispatch and delivery.

Excellent service from start to finish. I was kept up to date with the progress of my blinds and when despatched. Very fast delivery. The blinds are beautifully made and lovely quality. I highly recommend this firm.

Very straight forward process, i ordered just few balance clips for a house where I just moved in and had these blinds already fitted but missing some clips. They have sent thrm ftee of charge and Melanie was lovely. Blinds look very cool!

I hate to leave a bad review without chatting it through with the firm as there is often a good reason for hiccups.
But I placed an order 2 months ago, order number 500262637. I have heard nothing from them. They do not reply to emails or phone calls, and their chat box does not appear to be human.
They seemed very helpful in the ordering process.
But I am worried as they have my money but have gone completely silent.
Have they gone out of business? Should I try to get my money back? Who knows?
I am still hoping some beautiful shutters are going to arrive. Even if they do, I'm afraid they are appalling with their communication.
UPDATE on 26th July
Well I got a pleasant reply after I placed yesterday's negative review.
Much appreciated, thank you.
We can gloss over the ignored emails I guess.
Shame I had to leave the negative review. I assume it would all have been fine if I had just quietly waited.
I will leave my review however as it might help others if they get a deafening silence for a couple of months after ordering from Swift Direct Blinds. Perhaps they should not worry!
Not the way I would communicate with customers but that's just me.
UPDATE 12th August
I received the shutters on time. My daughter and I fitted them in one morning. They are perfect! Better than I was expecting. They are very well made and fit exactly as they should.
I would recommend these, just don't be surprised if you don't hear anything from them for several weeks.

I would not use this company again.
Poorly made blinds, poorly packaged, you will have do dispose of faulty blinds at your own expense.
Yes they are cheaper than other companies but in my opinion it is not worth the inconvenience - we ended up having 3 sets 4 of blinds delivered, 16 blinds in total and only 2 of them we were able to use as they were not damaged. We now have to arrange for disposable of the faulty blinds at our own expense.
The only positive was the customer service, they were prompt and arranged for replacements quickly, we given a refund for 2 of the blinds as we requested but they declined any further compensation for inconvenience and dissatisfaction.

Nothing swift about swift blinds, they plaster next day delivery on everything, allow you to place the order then nothing is in stock. I’ve requested a call back multiple times without receiving a single call. AVOID

We ordered three roller blackout blinds of varying widths with a drop of 2.3m. This would therefore suggest larger windows with a fitting height of 3m high. The blinds were delivered with a standard 0.8m cord, which we cannot reach from the floor.
I understand the potential Health and Saftey issues but why not clarify the fitting height prior to manufacture.
We are now more than two weeks since our original order, which was next day dispatch (it wasn't next day but 48 hours was still acceptable), and we still haven't received replacement cords.
How can the company manufacture blinds from scratch in 24 hours but not replace cords in two weeks.
I have now issued two emails without even an acknowledgement, hence review.
The blinds are of good quality but customer service let's them down. If your order is correct, you'll be fine. If not, good luck. We have now been two weeks with no blinds in the brightest month of the year.

Very pleased!
The blinds are exactly what we wanted. Ordered 12 blinds and they all fitted perfectly. Exceptional quality. Highly recommended.

Reply from Swift Direct Blinds
Update : no one contacted us directly.
First their delivery is always delayed for some reason, then they sent the wrong colour and tried to blame it on us ordering the wrong one. Not a single apology during the whole process, a 50% voucher on our next order would have gone a long way. We need another room's worth of blinds but now we will go out of our way to find a website that is not part of the same group.

Customer service at its very best. From Marc in customer services to the factory floor, packing and dispatch could not fault the fantastic service and after sales you get. 101% great company to buy your blinds.

Disappointed at the least.
Part of my order didn’t get delivered. They think it got damaged in transit.
The whole process no will take up to 4 weeks from when I paid to when they say I will receive it.
I paid for a 4-5 day delivery.
Now they are going to send the blinds back to Ireland and they don’t even no if they are damaged.
The blinds that turned up also wasn’t very good. Wouldn’t recommend.
Also customer service can’t be bothered.
Hi Dean,
I wanted to provide you with an update regarding your damaged blind and explain the expected timeframe for your replacement.
Your damaged package has now been scanned by the courier for return to our supplier. We have been advised that it is due to arrive at our supplier's distribution centre in Birmingham on Monday.
Please note that Birmingham is a distribution hub rather than the manufacturing site. From there, the blind will be forwarded to the factory in Lisburn, Northern Ireland, which typically takes around two working days. Once it arrives at the factory, the blind will be inspected before a replacement is authorised and dispatched. This inspection and redispatch process usually takes a further 1–2 working days.
Provided the inspection confirms the blind has not sustained any additional damage in transit, we expect the replacement to be dispatched from the factory on either Friday 17th or Monday 20th.
Delivery from Northern Ireland to mainland England is typically 3–5 working days. We allow this timeframe to account for transportation across the Irish Sea and onward delivery within the UK.
Based on the current information, the best-case delivery window for your replacement blind is between 22nd and 24th.
We appreciate your patience while this process is completed and will continue to monitor the return. If there are any changes to the schedule, we will keep you updated.
Kind regards,
Customer Experience Executive

Great experience with Michael from Customer Services. My tilt function on my living room blind had become faulty and wasn’t tilting. Michael arranged for a new tilt mechanism to be sent out, with instructions on how to swap over. Blind now back in full operation.
Very happy with the service from Michael and the SWIFT service! :)

We phoned and spoke to Joshua about a battery/motor problem with a blind we purchased several years ago.
Joshua took ownership of the problem and sent several e-mails to us confirming the situation. As a result we have fitted the new motor and it works! Well done Joshua and well done Swift Direct Blinds.

This was my first time using Swift blinds and buying contemporary style blinds. It won't be the last! Initially I ordered a sample of the blind I liked, then I followed Swift's measuring advice and was ready to place my order but the 'welcome discount code' wasn't accepted. I contacted Swift everything was rectified.
My blind arrived yesterday and my nephew fitted it last night, he couldn't believe the fit quality and appearance of blind. (he's not easily impressed!)
Thank you Swift.

Great service, quick and very clear instructions on how to get the measurements for the blinds.
Customer service was amazing, helpful and supportive. Kept me updated without me chasing.
Have ordered a few curtains/blinds here and will be back again for sure.

Order No: 500318764
This blind was ordered on 17th June. I was advised of dispatch by email on 22nd June and it still hasn't arrived, 14 days after ordering and 9 days after dispatch.
I spoke to one of your agents yesterday who advised that it would definitely be delivered today, Wednesday 1st July, but it still hasn't been delivered. Your agent gave me the tracking details for DX Logistics and it was dispatched for overnight delivery on 24/06/26. Yesterday it was showing as being in their Maidstone hub and this morning tracking showed it had been loaded onto the delivery van but is still not here.
This is wholly unacceptable, especially given the cost of delivery you have charged. So I have now been waiting 9 days since you dispatched it to still not receive it, tomorrow will be 10 days.
So, in view of this incredibly poor service I have cancelled my order and requested an immediate and full refund. I will place the order with a company who uses more reliable couriers, not one that takes over 9 days for an overnight delivery. I suggest you contract your delivery service with a company that have better communication (I have received none from the courier) and that can actually fulfill their delivery targets, as the company you are using is going to lead to bad reviews like this and will compromise your reputation and business.
