Color Accuracy:                       Request A Sample
Although we do our best to make sure that the colors printed on our web site are accurate, actual colors will vary.  In addition, subtle color differences and textures may not be fully appreciated on some systems due to differences in monitors and/or display cards. Due to the fact that our products are all custom made, and can't be returned, you need to be sure that you can live with any color variations that are possible from our scanning of the actual samples. If an exact color match is required, then please request a sample before placing your order. Once you receive your sample, keep in mind that all samples may still have minimal color variations as stated by the manufacturers.

Fabric Back lighting:
"Back lighting" happens when light filters in through translucent fabrics from behind.  Our swatches don't show you the effect of back lighting, which can soften colors and highlight fabric textures.  If you'd like to see how back lighting affects the color or texture of a particular material go visit your nearest retailer or request a sample from us.

Canadian Orders:
We do accept Canadian orders. Unfortunately, a limitation of our credit card processor causes Canadian transactions to be declined based on address... even if the credit card is "good". If your order's destination is a Canadian address, please go through the purchase process as usual. You will receive an automatic DECLINE from the crdit card processor once you've submitted your credit card information. Please jot down your orddr/invoice number, and IMMEDIATELY place a call to our customer service department to complete the sale. We apologize for this inconvenience. We're doing everything we can to pursuade our credit card processor to change their software to allow Canadian orders.

 Secure Internet Commerce:
What is online security- When you place orders all of your information is processed through our secure server. Blinds Wholesale utilizes industry-standard Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) technology that encrypts all your information before it is sent to us. If you would prefer not to place your order online simply call us at 1-800-829-3004.

Your Private Information WILL Remain Confidential
We respect your privacy. All personal information you provide to us WILL remain absolutely confidential and be used solely to communicate better with you. We have never and will never share your information with anyone.

Window Measurements: 
For both inside and outside mounts the finished measurements of the window treatment are from the top of the headrail to the bottom of the bottomrail (or in the case of verticals the bottom of the vanes) for the height. The width is from the left edge of the window treatment to the right edge.
Inside mount
An inside mount fits within the window frame. On inside mounts specific deductions are taken by the factory for operating clearance. These deductions vary for each manufacturer and each product and are only approximate deductions. For more specific details please go to to the product page for the product you are interested in on our site before completing your order.
Outside mount
An outside mount overlaps the window opening. Allowances are not taken by the manufacturer on this product. This is because you will need to supply us the exact measurements that you would like the window treatment to be. This includes adding extra for the width and the height to clear any trim etc if you so wish.

Payment Options: 
Since all window treatments from BlindsWholesale.com are custom made to your specifications, all orders are paid for when your order is placed.  Visa, Mastercard and American Express are accepted online.  Cashier's checks, personal checks and money orders must be mailed to our office before your order is started. All orders paid by check will require a holding period of 5-7 days for your check to clear before the order will be put into production.

Changes, Cancellations and Refunds:
Because our products are custom made to your exact specifications, they are not suitable for resale in the ordinary course of business.  Therefore, it is important that you are sure of your purchase decisions prior to finalizing your order. We place your order with the manufacturer and automatically charge your credit card for the total sale price, including shipping, immediately after you complete your online order. Unless there is a delay in placing your order because we need additional information from you, an order received from you for in stock materials before 4 P.M. Eastern Standard Time will normally begin production the morning of the next day.

Cancellations and Changes in orders can only be made for a period of 12 hours after your online order is finalized. All cancellations and changes effected during this 12 hour period will be subject to a manufacturers restocking charge, where applicable, and a Blinds Wholesale 6% administrative charge.

Under no circumstance will Blinds Wholesale either refund any money or issue any credits for a credit card purchase if the cancellation or change occurs at any time beyond this 12 hour period.

Do I need to buy hardware or screws?
All hardware is provided with the possible exception of screws. This is due to the fact that differing screws are needed in differing applications. In most applications a #6 x 1 1/2" screw is appropriate. However, the exact length and type of screw will vary depending on whether you are mounting your treatments into drywall, wood, concrete or metal. As a result many companies do not send mounting screws with your order. If you find no screws came with your order you will need to purchase some. As a rule of thumb you can assume two screws per bracket and 2 or 3 brackets per treatment.
