I am in the market for window coverings (shades or shutters) as I am completely re-doing all windows in my condo. Can anyone recommend a reasonably priced supplier/store? I have found that prices can range from the inexpensive to the grossly expensive and am trying to determine if there's a better, reasonable option out there than, say, Sears or Home Depot.

Thanks.

buy your blinds from selectblinds.com. Do not buy from their canadian website (Selectblinds.ca). With the exchange rate, the us website is way way way cheaper.

I equipped my baby's room with blinds from them. Very good quality blinds and all hardware included.

I have the my blinds shipped to point roberts and picked them up there.

Use google checkout too, to save yourself an extra $10 or 10% off..i don't remember

I followed this advise and sure enough they are way way cheaper. I basicly ordered 3 blinds for the price of 1 from Canada.

I went back to order more last night and noticed that if you attempt to access the selectblinds.com website from canada then it redirects you to the cdn site. No option to use the USA site.

I tried using a web proxy and sure enough I was able to log into the usa site but because a free web proxy won't support SSL I was unable to order.

If anyone figures out a way to order please post it here.

SelectblindsCanada has started an new e-business called selectrugscanada. But look at these price differences over their US relative:

http://www.selectrugscanada.ca/rugdetails.aspx?id=14197&name=14197_rug.html

$2228.27 Canadian for the 9 foot round rug

http://www.selectrugs.com/rugdetails.aspx?id=14197&name=Patina%20042K1_rug.html

$USD 1205 ($1175 Canadian) for the same rug.

Worth a quick trip over the border, I would say.
