Canceling or Changing a Custom Blind Order
You may change or cancel your custom blind order within 24 hours of placing it. After 24 hours, production of your custom-made blinds begins, so we cannot make changes. To change or cancel an order, please call us toll-free at 1-866-791-3193.
Please note: Changes or cancellations cannot be made on "rush" orders because they go into production immediately.

Returning Blinds
If we made an error on your blinds order, we will fix them immediately at no charge and ship them to you via FedEx Ground. If you made an error in your order, unfortunately, we cannot issue a return or refund because Home Trends blinds are custom-made to fit the windows in your home, according to the measurements you provided.
We do our best to minimize the possibility for errors by helping you measure your windows accurately and by offering sample chips so you can see what your blinds will look and feel like before you order.

Sample Chip Cost
There is a $3 charge for a sample chip order that is deducted when you purchase the blinds. We charge separately for samples instead of building the cost into the price of the blinds so that customers who purchase blinds don't bear the cost of those who request samples but don't purchase.

Damaged or Defective Blinds
All factory errors will be fixed at no charge. We will send you replacement parts or replacement blinds.
If your blinds are damaged or defective when you receive them, please contact Customer Service immediately at 1-866-791-3193, from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. (PT), seven days a week.

Safety Issues for New Blinds
The Window Covering Safety Council urges you to check and childproof all window coverings and window areas in your home. Infants and young children should be kept away from the cords of window blinds. It takes only a few seconds for a child to become entangled in the cord, which can lead to strangulation.
Window blinds manufactured before 2001 could represent a strangulation hazard to children. Older blinds should be replaced with newer, safer ones or should be retrofitted to make them safer. For a complimentary safety cord stop kit for blinds, call toll-free 1-800-506-4636.
