I ordered a blackout blind to a certain colour, which I realised had a lead time on it due to being made up specifically, which was fine; the only problem was that the two attachments I needed, in order to put up the blind, were shipped well after the blind had arrived. So, I couldn't put it up for over a week. The attachments, which were each less than 4cm x 2 cm in size, were shipped SEPARATELY in HUGE boxes, so I had to wait for them each to arrive, days apart, via courier, and arrange for them to be left somewhere if I was out. Why not ship the attachments BEFORE the blind, and put them in a simple Jiffy bag that could pop through the letter box? I love the blind, but all in all it's been nearly a month from ordering to being able to put it up!
