Alam’s Beautiful Blinds Avis 

In response to a leaflet drop, I contacted this company and from the first ever call onwards I felt pressure from the sales man. We only wanted a single bay window blind for our lounge and the cost offered to me was mind blowing of £1,000. Whilst negotiating although he came down to£400? I did not left with a choice of allowing anytime to make a decision rather forced to pay the deposit. I felt the sale person was put me under pressure to get the sale. Meanwhile, I managed to get a quote for the same material and fitting on with well below the price I paid. The blind of 'course if beautiful and of good quality, but the whole process was too stressful. I would never use them again.

Responded to a leaflet advertising 3 roller blinds from only £119 up to 6ft wide any drop. Sales person came and showed samples. Said that as it was for bathroom and kitchen would need waterproof. Measured up. Kitchen 66 inches by 41, bathroom 45 by 39 approx. Told they were the Rolls Royce of blinds and they would cost for the pair £1000.00. I said they were expensive and would think about it. He continued to put pressure on my wife and I, both in our 80s, until I finally signed in order to get him out of the house. He was insistent that he wanted some of the money in cash until I managed to make him realise that I do not keep cash in the house for security reasons. He eventually took my debit card details. The blinds have been fitted and are quite nice at the moment but I could have bought them for, at most, £300 for the pair from elsewhere. I was charged an extortionate amount and bought under pressure. I am sending a complaint to Trading Standards.
