What 3 Day Blinds Is

3 Day Blinds is a window covering retailer that sells blinds, shades, shutters, and other window treatments directly to customers. The company operates showrooms in many states and also takes orders online and by phone. The "3 day" in the name refers to their standard turnaround time — they aim to measure, manufacture, and install your window coverings within three business days of your order.

The company sells its own branded products rather than acting as a middleman for other manufacturers. They handle the entire process: an in-home or virtual consultation, custom measurements, production, and installation by their own crews or local partners. You do not order from a catalog and wait for delivery; instead, a representative comes to your home, shows you samples, takes exact measurements, and places your order on the spot.

Key Takeaways

  • 3 Day Blinds measures your windows in your home and manufactures products to fit, rather than selling stock sizes.
  • The standard timeline is three business days from order to installation, though this varies by location and product type.
  • You can schedule a free in-home consultation or use their virtual consultation option if you prefer not to meet in person.
  • Pricing varies widely depending on window size, material, and style; the company often runs promotions that reduce the per-window cost.
  • Installation is included in the price for most products, and the company offers a satisfaction may provide that lets you return or exchange within a set period.

How the Ordering Process Works

The first step is to schedule a consultation. You can call 3 Day Blinds directly, visit their website to book online, or visit a showroom if one is near you. During the consultation, a representative will show you samples of blinds, shades, shutters, and other window treatments in your home or via video call. They will ask about your preferences — light control, privacy, style, and budget — and answer questions about materials and maintenance.

Once you have chosen a style and material, the representative will measure your windows precisely. These measurements are critical because 3 Day Blinds manufactures each product to fit your specific windows. After measuring, you will receive a quote and can place your order that day. The representative will also discuss installation timing and any special requests, such as motorization or specific hardware finishes.

After you order, the product is manufactured and scheduled for installation. Most orders are installed within three business days, though this timeline can extend depending on your location, the complexity of the order, and current demand. You will receive a call or email confirming your installation appointment, usually with a window of time rather than an exact hour.

Pricing and Promotions

3 Day Blinds does not publish a standard price list because each order is custom-made to your window dimensions. A single window covering might cost anywhere from under $100 to several hundred dollars depending on the material, size, and features. Motorization, specialty fabrics, and custom colors increase the price.

The company frequently runs promotions — such as a discount on the first window, a percentage off your entire order, or a free installation offer. These promotions change regularly and are often advertised on their website, through email, or during your consultation. Asking about current promotions during your consultation is standard practice and may reduce your total cost significantly.

Installation is typically included in the quoted price for standard products. If you order motorized blinds, specialty shutters, or other complex installations, installation may be charged separately or bundled into a higher overall price. Confirm what is included in your quote before you commit to the order.

Installation and Timeline

3 Day Blinds installs products through a combination of their own crews and local installation partners, depending on your area. The installer will arrive at your scheduled appointment, remove any existing window coverings if needed, and install your new blinds or shades. Most standard installations take one to three hours depending on the number of windows and the complexity of the product.

The three-day timeline is a target, not a may provide. Factors that can delay installation include high order volume, custom manufacturing requests, weather, or scheduling conflicts. If you need your blinds by a specific date, mention this during your consultation so the representative can confirm whether that date is realistic.

After installation, the installer will show you how to operate your new window coverings — how to raise and lower them, adjust slats, and clean them. If you ordered motorized blinds, they will explain the remote or app controls. Ask any questions about operation or maintenance at this time.

Satisfaction may provide and Returns

3 Day Blinds offers a satisfaction may provide that allows you to return or exchange products within a certain period if you are not happy with them. The exact terms vary — some promotions offer 30 days, others offer longer — so confirm the return window when you place your order. Returns typically require that the product be in good condition and that you contact the company within the may provide period.

If you want to return a product, call 3 Day Blinds customer service to initiate the process. They will explain whether you can exchange the product for a different style or material, or whether you will receive a refund. Refunds may be subject to a restocking fee depending on the product and how long you have owned it.

Virtual Consultations and Online Ordering

If you do not want someone to visit your home, 3 Day Blinds offers virtual consultations where a representative shows you samples and discusses your preferences over video call. You can measure your own windows using their online tool or a measuring guide they provide. This option is faster than scheduling an in-home visit and works well if you already know what style you want.

Virtual consultations do not include professional measurements, so accuracy depends on how carefully you measure. If your measurements are off, your blinds may not fit properly, and you may need to reorder. Many customers prefer the in-home consultation for this reason, even though it takes longer to schedule.

What to Know Before You Order

Have a clear idea of your budget before your consultation. While the representative will work with you to find options at different price points, knowing your range helps them show you the most relevant samples. If you are replacing existing window coverings, have them removed before the installation appointment — 3 Day Blinds can remove them for an additional fee, but removing them yourself saves time and money.

Measure your windows yourself before the consultation if you want a rough idea of cost. This is not a substitute for the professional measurement, but it helps you understand the scope of your project. Also, think about whether you want light-filtering or blackout shades, motorization, or special features like cordless operation — these choices affect both price and installation complexity.

Ask about the warranty on your products. Most 3 Day Blinds products come with a manufacturer's warranty that covers defects in materials and workmanship. The length and terms of the warranty vary by product type, so confirm this before you order if durability is important to you.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I measure my own windows instead of having someone come to my home?

Yes. You can use 3 Day Blinds' online measuring tool or follow their measuring guide to take your own measurements, then order through a virtual consultation or online. However, professional measurements are more accurate, and if your measurements are wrong, your blinds may not fit and you may need to reorder at additional cost.

What if my windows are an unusual size or shape?

3 Day Blinds manufactures custom products, so they can make coverings for arched windows, skylights, sliding glass doors, and other non-standard shapes. Unusual sizes and shapes typically cost more and may take longer than the standard three-day timeline. Discuss this during your consultation so the representative can give you an accurate quote and timeline.

Do I have to be home during installation?

Yes, someone must be home to let the installer in and to be present during the installation. You can arrange a specific time during your consultation. If you need to reschedule, call 3 Day Blinds as soon as possible so they can find another appointment slot.

What happens if my blinds arrive damaged?

Contact 3 Day Blinds when ready if your blinds are damaged during installation or delivery. They will either repair the product or send a replacement. Damage claims are typically covered under the satisfaction may provide or warranty, so you should not have to pay for a replacement.

Can I order motorized blinds, and how much do they cost?

Yes, 3 Day Blinds offers motorized blinds that can be controlled by remote, app, or voice command. Motorized options cost significantly more than manual blinds — typically several hundred dollars more depending on the product and the number of windows. Ask about motorization options during your consultation to see pricing for your specific windows.
