Manufacturing Times

Current estimated manufacturing times:

NEW ZEALAND MANUFACTURE

5 working days for New Zealand manufactured 5 DAY ROLLER, 5 DAY FAUX WOOD VENETIAN and 5 DAY HONEYCOMB blinds

7-8 working days for New Zealand manufactured ROLLER & FAUXWOOD venetians

15 working days for New Zealand manufactured VERTICAL & ALUMINIUM venetians

Please note: working days exclude weekends, public holidays and factory closure periods such as Christmas 2024/25 factory closures are 19 December until 6 January. The good news is that by ordering over the holiday period we will be processing orders and you will secure your place in the production schedule upon the factory’s return.

IMPORTED

** see below – 35-50 working days for imported HONEYCOMB, FAUX WOOD, ALUMINIUM and PHOENIXWOOD blinds

** see below – 50-60 working days for imported SHUTTERS

** IMPORTED Chinese New Year.  The factory closes 25 January and re-opens on the 2 February (factory cut-off times are around 10-14 days prior to this, depending on the product type).  This unfortunately means that orders placed after the 13th of January will take longer to get here than usual as it takes the factory a while to catch up on manufacturing after the 1-week annual closure.  Generally, there is 3-4 weeks added to manufacturing times when they return to work.  Shipping is also disrupted as this holiday affects the entire country and everyone scrambles to get containers out in a hurry when everything is back up and running.  We expect shipping to take 1-3 weeks longer than usual in the 6 weeks following CNY.

How to order

Our stress-free seven point plan to ordering blinds

1. Research

First of all, find out which blind is right for you. Do you need your blinds to cut out the glare? Do you need them to keep in the heat? Do you need them to fit a specific style or theme? Or do you want to customise your own design? Check out our product range or visit our blog for inspiration!

2. Measure

When you’re ready, visit our handy measuring guides here All you will need is a pen, paper and measuring tape.

3. Get a quote

When you order blinds online at NZ Blinds, you can input your measurements, pick the style and colour of blinds, and instantly see how much the order will cost.

4. Order Samples

If you’re unsure that your chosen fabric, colour, or style is right for your room –and because the colours on the website may appear differently on different screens – you can order a free sample via our website. This is the best way to be confident that you’re getting the perfect and most suitable product. To view our samples click here

5. Payment

When you place an order, select Direct Debit, Credit Card or Afterpay as your form of payment to generate an order. Confirmation will be sent to you, which you can double-check. The order won’t be processed until payment has been made. All credit card transactions are secure and we do not store your credit card number.

6. Delivery

In most instances, blinds are manufactured and dispatched within 5 to 15 working days. Imported blinds have a longer shipping time. Deliveries take 1 to 4 days, depending on your location. You will be notified regarding any delay as soon as it becomes apparent. All blinds are delivered FREE in New Zealand – although in some cases if there’s a large volume orders or the delivery location is in remote rural areas or islands, they may be delivered to a carrier’s depot.

  • All blinds from NZ blinds are rigorously checked for quality control before dispatch. In an unlikely event that you experience any problems or your blind is faulty, please contact us
  • Please check you blinds ASAP after delivery and advise us within 24 hours in the unlikely case that there is shipping damage.
