Techniku, a leading motor supplier for the blinds market, is calling it quits. Probably to the floundering building market. A recent email sent to their vendors reads: In an attempt to keep the business going we have talked with several potential purchasers, but have not been able to reach satisfactory terms. While we continue to have [...]

Thanks for your patience. Everything is working fine except the 1-800 number. We posted our local number up and expect the 1-800 number to work today (hopefully). Thanks again. Please use our standard support e-mail address or our other contact methods.

We are updating our phone lines today so we may be down a few hours or possibly all day (thanks Quest). Worse case we will forward our phones to our cells. For the internet (we are going to a T1 line), I can remotely check it.

The CVS Code is that 3 digit number on the back of your credit card. Although not full proof, it is another form of security because technically, you need to have the card in possession in order to have that number. Shades Shutters Blinds hasn’t used this feature frankly because we only had one “incident” [...]

We will be closed Sat, Sun and Monday for Labor Day and hope you do as well. We will be back Tuesday morning. However we will be checking emails. Have a good one guys!

Sorry it has been a while for posting but we have been very busy here at Shades Shutters Blinds. We just redesigned the entire back end to make ordering, order look up, status, orders to and from our factories, shipping etc. much more convenient for us and you. Always Free Color Samples We have been [...]

Hi. If you are ordering samples, a PO box address is OK. However, if you are placing a blinds order, we need a physical address. No PO Boxes. This can turn a simple order into a total nightmare. Trust us. Just got through with one of these and it was not fun. Secondly, if you [...]

Friendly reminder. I haven’t needed to post any policies and warranties since I started this blog over two years ago but, as stated in our policies and warranty pages, blinds that we offer are meant for actual windows that are on the inside of your location. Projection screens, room dividers, shutters used as door or [...]

Many bugs have been worked out. Main one was lack of estimated ship dates and tracking info. All orders have been placed but some customers will not get tracking info. I will try to get the back ones caught up today but am sure some will slip through. Do not worry. They are coming and [...]

We just totally redesigned our shopping cart to make it much, much easier to track, place and organize orders. The look is much different than the old shopping cart. If you have suggestions to make it easier, better looking or find any bugs (hopefully not), really anything to improve it, let us know. I will [...]

Yep, finally a Friday fourth. We will be closed Friday, Saturday and Sunday. I will be checking emails throughout the weekend. Have fun everyone!

First off, the picture to the left that says “Hacker Safe” is trademarked by Scan Alert. I just read an interesting article today on the Webmaster World forums about a site being hacked with the “Hacker Safe (trademarked)” logo on their site. Go to: Webmaster World to read the article and the posts about it. [...]

This is a first of a three part series on how we started. I guess you can call this the start up stage. How long have you been in the Window Covering industry? Since around 1994 but did do some blind installation in college. I got into the industry full time in around 1995 and [...]

Sorry it’s been so long since the last post. There have been major changes on our site since the last post. Out layout has totally changed. The new look makes it much more easier to navigate. Go to Blinds

First snow as of yesterday (10-14-07) for our city (Denver). Nothing sticked. Shopping cart is having slight troubles and the webmaster guru should be in this week to fix. Looks like Rockies will be going to the World Series and we will be closed on some of those days. Will keep you posted.

We finally got settled into the new office as of Monday Oct. 1st. It took three days to complete the movew and the phones were cut off for that amount of time. Thank you for your patience. We are still working on getting the new office set up. Computers and phones are up and running [...]

We will be moving to our new offices on October first. The new address is: Shades Shutters Blinds 405 South Wilcox #103 Castle Rock, Colorado 80109 Numbers will be the same.
