Ordering for Christmas

With the festive season fast approaching, we’d hate for anyone to miss out on their new curtains, blinds or shutters. Following is some helpful advice to consider when placing an order during late November or December 2023.

Will you receive your order before Christmas Day?

We’re still making and dispatching most curtain and blind orders in just 12-15 working days, and we’ll keep doing this right up to Christmas Eve. However, any curtain or blind orders placed after Wednesday 22nd November 2023 are unlikely to be delivered before Friday 22nd December 2022. This is due to the significant upsurge in online shopping and resulting parcel deliveries that takes place during December.

With shutters, we’re currently delivering orders in 8-10 weeks, and we’ll keep taking orders right up to Christmas Eve. Shutter orders placed during the pre-Christmas period will be delivered in 2024 after the relevant supply period (also allowing for a week of manufacturing downtime while the shutters team take a short break).

If you’d like to enquire about an existing order’s progress or get a more specific estimate on timings for manufacture and delivery of a new order, please contact us on [email protected] at any time or call 1300 301 368 (calls will always be be answered Monday to Friday between 7.30am – 4.30pm WST).

You can also find more detailed information about our standard Delivery & Returns procedures here.

Will we be trading over the festive period?

As an online seller we never really close, but we will be taking a well-earned break from The Curtain and Blind Company HQ on Friday 22nd December 2023 though to Tuesday 2nd January 2024. During this time, we won’t immediately respond to queries or input new orders, but we will be keeping a close eye on all correspondence and will respond on Wednesday 3rd January 2024 or soon after. If an enquiry is deemed urgent, we will get back to you as soon as possible during this period.

Our payment options…

We offer a variety of secure payment options on our website including credit card, PayPal, Afterpay and Zip Pay.

Do we send curtain, blind and shutter orders together or separately?

We always ship our products as soon as they are ready, so you’ll receive two (or three) different shipments, even if you ordered curtains and blinds (or shutters) together. If you only receive one, don’t worry, the other won’t be far behind!

You’ve made a mistake; can you change your order?

If you discover you’ve made an error with measuring or product selection, please get in touch with us immediately. We’ll do our best to help resolve the situation, but keep in mind we normally start production on orders within 48-hours (although, this won’t be the case during the festive period).

Can your order be prioritised for pre-Christmas delivery?

Unfortunately, with the urgency to complete and dispatch all orders received in the run up to the festive season it’s not possible (or fair) for us to put one order ahead of another. Rest assured, all orders are completed as quickly as possible, with most being dispatched within 12-15 working days of order payment. If you have any questions about your order progress, please get in touch for an on-the-spot update.

Who delivers our orders?

We use carefully chosen and globally trusted third-party freight logistics companies to efficiently deliver our curtains, blinds and shutters straight to your door right across Australia. Once your order is completed, checked and ready for dispatch, you’ll normally receive email notification with tracking information to follow the delivery progress.

Will we share tracking information for your delivery?

In nearly all cases, yes we will. We provide tracking details via email so you can monitor delivery progress from our door to yours. In some cases, your order may not have a tracking number as it will be delivered by a local courier on behalf of our major freight partners, but this typically results in an order arriving even more quickly. If you’d like to know the whereabouts of your order delivery please keep an eye out for an email with your tracking details, or feel free to get in touch with us by email or phone.

How to get a jump on installation…

There’s no reason to wait for your items to arrive to get clued up on assembly and installation, after all ‘prior preparation prevents poor performance’! Visit our installation page to learn about how easy it is to install our curtains, blinds or shutters.

If you have any other questions, we’d love to hear from you. But if we don’t get to say it in person, we’d like to wish all our existing and new customers the most wonderfully relaxing and peaceful festive season. We have lots of exciting things planned for The Curtain and Blind Company in 2024 and we’ll be sharing more information in the very near future.

Installation tips

Our happy customers

The quality is exceptional!

I ordered the blockout blinds and they really do block out the light. Much easier to sleep now! The customer service is amazing - they are very patient and happy to talk through the options available to find the right solution.

– Sophie, Sydney NSW

Simple to install, elegant finish

It was easy to find the product I was looking for. The tailored sizing and configuration were easy to record and order. All blinds and accessories were delivered as ordered. They were clearly labelled and simple to install.

– Jonathan, Melbourne VIC

Truly outstanding service!

This is my second curtains order... and from the online order process to the communication, product quality and speed of delivery, the whole experience was truly flawless. Well done to everyone involved.

– Fabrice, Melbourne VIC

Above and beyond

I called suppliers 3 weeks out from a last-minute event request. Only C&BCo came back with precise time frames & ideas, were polite & friendly and found the perfect solution! Quality was exceptional and my client was super happy.

We're able to keep the price of our curtains and blinds so low because our customers do their own measuring and installation! However, we're very happy to talk you through the entire process over the phone or by email, and our website offers a wealth of information on how to measure and install too.

Yes, of course! We offer 10 samples for just $5 including free Australia-wide express postage. Your samples also come with a discount code for $10 off your next purchase. Ordering is simple, just head to the Samples page and select individual fabric samples by type, colour or fabric or save some time and choose from our favourites packs.

We offer free delivery to most Australian metro locations on orders of over $199 value. However, we cannot provide free shipping for any shutter orders due to the size and weights involved. For smaller orders and for regional areas, we charge a modest flat fee depending on your location. We want to be as transparent as possible with our shipping costs, so please review our 'Delivery & Returns' page before ordering.

We aim to dispatch all orders within 15 working days, but the final delivery date will vary depending on shipping and other external factors. However, we find most orders successfully currently arrive within one week from dispatch. Should an order look likely to take longer than this to arrive, we will advise of any delays as soon as we are aware of them and happily manage any correspondence with our shipping partners on your behalf.

As all our products are custom made-to-measure, we do not accept returns. However, in the rare event something with your order doesn't meet your expectations, we will always work with you to make it right. Please visit our Terms & Conditions page to review our returns and warranty information in full.

Because all our curtains are made locally, there's not too much we can't attempt. Get in touch by phone or email and we'll see if we can work our magic to provide a solution.
