My issue with Velux was that the installation instructions were very poor. The diagrams did not accord with my window although I checked , double checked and triple checked the actual window I was trying to install a blind to. The diagrams showed screws to loosen and undo ...there were none. There were no useful videos. It took me ages to work it out, especially as I was at an extremely awkward angle to access the window in the first place. The first blind too almost an hour to fix. The second one 5 minutes. Very frustrating

Thank you for your feedback. We’re sorry to hear that you found the installation instructions difficult to follow and that the diagrams did not clearly match your window configuration. We appreciate your comments regarding the clarity of the instructions. We’re pleased to hear that once the process was understood, fitting the second blind was much quicker.

Your customer service is shockingly poor. I have specified velux for over 30 years, this experience means I will look elsewhere in future.

All good but had to call support with a question on where my exiting window solar panel would relocate. Otherwise good website and on line order system.

Very slow delivery, over £200 of goods were sent via EVRI who are terrible abandoned on door step, product boxes creased. Return confirmation for one item took 4 days and no info on how to return spend 15 minutes on phone to be told return arrangements may take another 2 weeks. Seriously these are great products but your logistics are a mess.

Seemed to take a while to arrive, and one blind is slightly bent. The binds don't have any packaging beyond what they were supplied in.

Delivery of the actual blind was fine, but because of a product we needed and a design we had to get different small corner fittings sent after. They were tiny items put in a Jiffy bag and the bag put in a much bigger box. It was delivered by Evi Couriers. the box was left on our step squashed, torn on three faces open, genuinely the worst state we have seen delivered. We went to the door immediately but the driver has rushed away and driven off, clearly didn't want to see us. Did take photos.

The heat blinds do seem to work as promised. Fitting was simple after I had found a video animation to watch. The printed instructions were not entirely clear. No tool was included for fitting. A star shaped screw driver is needed .

Product is great, really ingenious design, makes a big difference to cooling. But installation instructions are terrible, pictures are really difficult to interpret. Also the website and product packaging need better photos of what the product actually looks like when installed, that would help a lot with the installation.

Previously I have tried to use the Velux website to find an installer but weeks passed without contact or help from Velux. Recently I placed an order for blinds but this experiences have been equally terrible with delays and substandard communication. It is also odd to send out this survey when all the product have not been delivered yet.

Following a recent discussion with our Customer Service team, we can confirm that all items from your order have now been delivered.

No need to use Customer Service or Return so can’t comment. Otherwise, excellent all round.
