Someone on eb recommended these guys on Bay a few years ago. We ended up ordering about 20 blinds from them. They were so much cheaper than their competitors, the blinds are awesome, arrived really quickly and the company was so helpful and even offered free replacements when one of my kids put a mark on one of the blinds.

I cannot recommend them highly enough :-)

I've used iseekblinds.com.au and blindsonline.com.au and both were excellent. I prefer iseek blinds actually but they stopped stocking the fabric I needed so we tried the other company and they were great too.

or Fembo maybe...
Thanks for these folks - have just been struggling to get cheap blind for a funny sized window, and this looks great!

OP - for normal standard size windows, you can check spotlight - the rest of ours are from there and no complaints about the quality (yet!)

ETA. Bunnings also has blinds
