How Long Do Custom Blinds Take? The Honest Timeline

The two questions about timing are "how long" and "why so long" — and the second one explains the first. Here is the honest clock for made-to-measure blinds in India.

The short answer

At BlindsBazaar, fabrication and delivery run 7–21 days, then installation is scheduled into the next available slot — usually the same week. That range covers the catalogue: a standard roller in a stock fabric sits near the fast end; specialty fabrics, large runs and motorised units run longer.

Inside the 21 days

1. Order check (day 0–1): sizes sanity-checked by a human before the ticket reaches the floor — the last chance to catch a transposed width
2. Cutting and fabrication (most of the time): fabric cut to the millimetre at our Mangolpuri workshop, tubes and mechanisms matched to each blind's width, motor fitting and travel-limit setting on motorised units
3. Quality run and packing (final days): every blind run full travel, checked for edge alignment and fabric pulls, then packed with its installation kit
4. Delivery and scheduling: into the city next; installation slots offered around your availability, including evenings and weekends for offices

Why not next-day

The moment a blind is made to your window, it cannot exist before you order it — one process, one factory, no warehouse of guesses. Next-day delivery exists in this category for one product: readymade stock sizes, which take next-day happily and fit almost nothing exactly. If your timeline needs a stopgap (a new flat with a pre-move-in week), a measured blind ordered early plus curtains on the essentials is the professional sequence — or talk to us about the fastest fabrics, which run at the low end of the range.

Planning the clock into a move

• Measure before the boxes arrive — a five-minute AR pass on the empty flat is easier than on the furnished one
• Order when possession starts; installation lands roughly with the second week of unpacking
• Bulk orders — every window at once — share one fabrication run and one install visit: the fastest and cheapest plan there is
