Kresta Blinds & Curtains Recenzje 264

The blinds were incorrectly sized and the salesperson came out to review with the promise of organizing the service department to come and fix the problem. This would entail them having to over a few days pick the blinds up and resizing. The salesperson also knew I had my apartment up for sale and needed a quick turnaround.
After 3 weeks of waiting, I contacted the company and finally a few days later had a call from the service department booking in a time a couple of weeks later just to view what the problem was. Not fix the problem, just view. My apartment was going up for sale officially the following week of their viewing. When I asked if they could speed this up due to the open houses etc I was rudely refused by a women who could not care less about my situation. There was absolutely no help from her at all. I said I needed then to go to head office and she replied she was head office.

The Kresta Blinds quality level : judge for yourself.

Their representatives Mr. Nereus D’Mello & Mrs. Robin Brewster have no interest whatsoever & do not reply back to any correspondence.

The plantation shutters have scratches; some louvres are loose while the arch shutter doesn’t close.

I’ve had to:

1. lodge a complaint with the NSW Department of Fair Trading and
2. lodge a case with the NSW Civil & Administrative Tribunal (NCAT).

Stay away from this company.

The worst company I have ever dealt with. Had a folding arm outdoor awning installed. It had never been great and it is badly made and installed. After a year of only being used a few times, the awning started to drop and lose its tightness making it unable to be used. I called Kresta and spoke to a girl who told me to send an email which I did. No reply to my email or follow up email. I tried to call many times and only got an answering machine and left messages but again no response. Appalling customer service. Will never use again. Buyer beware.

Incompetent, no respect for customers. Ordered verticals for 2 bedrooms in January 2024, here I am in October 2024, still no blinds. Leave messages on answering machine, but no one returns calls. When I do reach someone they have no idea what’s happening with my order and supposedly “some phantom manager is going to call me”. It just doesn’t happen. They’ve taken the money and I have no window coverings. It’s not a good omen for this company being able to continue existing if this is the way they treat customers.

I ORDERED 1 ROLLER BLIND IN JUNE AND WAS ADVISED 4-5 WEEKS DELIVERY,IT IS NOW AUGUST AND I AM STILL WAITING.SALESMAN DOES NOT RETURN ME EMAILS.CALL CENTRE SAYS SORRY. NEVER AGAIN WILL I BUY FROM KRESTA,PEOPLE BE WARNED.......

They have fitted a shutter that is warped, they refused to fix it, they refuse to give me a refund, they refuse to even address the situation this has been going on for months, I have been promised fitters to arrive which have not arrived, managers do not call as promised or ensure any acceptable level of customer service. An appalling company with a appalling service and workmanship, do yourself a favor go and spend your $10,000 dollars somewhere else

One star because the initial consultant was nice. The rest of the service and quality deserve no stars. The backing on our white blinds have turned black from what looks like sun damage.
They didn't make the pleating to our specifications.
The fittings and fixtures the walls are very poor and cheap.
Thier customer service has been dismal.
I WOULD NEVER DO KRESTA AGAIN. Dont be fooled!

Amazingly professional and friendly free measure and quite serviceHad to say goodbye to a much loved space. I got Kresta’s Albert in to advise about some options for window dressings on behalf of the new, incoming owners.
I found Albert professional, polite, and helpful. He got back to me straight away and organised the asked for job efficiently.

Very happy with Albert and with Kresta. Would 100% use them again.

waiting 3 months for goods then -Wrong product, wrong dimensions, do not reply or communicate in any way, I am still waiting after 6 weeks to know how this will be rectified. avoid paying them 100% upfront as I stupidly did.

Absolutely terrible, sales rep was good, ordered blinds in November. Got to the new year and had to chase them up. Was told the blinds weren't available. About a week later got a call that the blinds were available, pay the balance and we will book you in for the next week. THAT WAS 4 WEEKS AGO!! Three bookings where we have taken the day off work to be home for them, three no shows. We're booked for Wednesday next week, Customer service called to change to last Saturday. When we hadn't heard from the installer mid morning on Saturday we called him directly. He said that there was no job for him on Saturday.

Customer service called today saying that since WE cancelled the installer can we rebook to coming Friday. How in the heck did we cancel the installer when we called him direct to find out where he was?

This is the 4th time that the installation has been cancelled and it is not good enough. We shouldn't be told by customer service that we are in the wrong when we have paid in full and haven't received what we paid for.

Terrible company.... Do not use

1. I felt harassed, intimidated and coerced by the sales representative into signing a contract to purchase curtains from Kresta. I raised my compliant with Kresta, telling the Kresta manager that harassment is not permitted under Australian Consumer Law. Their response was to repeatedly say "you did not have to sign" and 'I was not there, so cannot comment". I was upset at being dismissed and belittled by the manager, so I said "I guess if a knife was held at my throat, I still do not have to sign, so you are technically correct". They agreed! I then stated but that does not mean it is acceptable, and being harassed and coerced is not acceptable. Guess their reply? .... " You did not have to sign" ... So beware: they apparently think harassment and coercion is not a concern! And is apparently quite legal.
2. I also told the Kresta manager that the contract states full payment is required prior to delivery and installation, and this is specifically listed on the ACCC website as an example of a contract which breaches Consumer law as it is considered "unfair". Unfortunately their response was that this is "Just a guide". When did Australian Consumer Law become "a guide"!! Please be very aware and check all relevant Australian Consumer law requirements before signing any contract with Kresta. The ACCC website is a good place to start. My best advice is to have nothing to do with Kresta at all (I have not even included here the false and misleading information I was given by Kresta).

Attended the Nunawading store this morning 11th Jan 2024. Could not find a price on any of the items in store. Woman behind the desk was staring off into space and seemed unwilling to consult with the only customer. If it wasn't for the fact that she moved her head when the phone rang (she let it ring out) I would have thought she was either a prop or dead.

Ordered two SheerFold made to measure blinds in June 2023 but when installed the vertical blinds did not end up being a consistent distance apart when closed and looked 'off'. Customer Service don't answer calls or emails so issue still not resolved. Made to Measure is not made to measure

Don’t get stung by this company absolutely terrible service blinds are made in china and the people who do the measuring are terrible my experience has ranged from incorrect measuring to colour difference in the same order and once they have you’re money i they don’t care

I explained to the consultant that I want a formal look in my sheer curtains in 3 rooms. I wanted a neat curtain that was the same flow from top to bottom (some makers call this an S fold). What I got was cheap looking, free flowing messy creased curtains. I hate them. I also requested a backing blind which was also a block out blind. What I got lets the light through & this is not what I want. I tried calling Kresta at 9:15 & 9:40 am but they say that I rang outside business hours & I need to call between 9-5 hours !!!
My phone is old & does not let me attach a picture to send to my email or download. I can however send the photo as a text msg to another phone.

Don't want to give one star. Forfeited my deposit. Don't want to deal with this company except in court.

THE CURTAINS ARE EXACTLY WHAT I WANTED .THEY WERE PROPERLY MEASURED AND INSTALLED HOWEVER THE CUSTOMER SHOULD KNOW THAT THE CURTAINS ARE COMING FROM W.A. AND WILL BE SOME TIME. THE SERVICE FROM MAX AND BRYAN WAS GREAT BUT THE BASIC COMPANY LEAVES ROOM FOR IMPROVEMENT .

The only responsive person was the installer.
Waited 10 weeks for the curtains. There is no point in calling the showroom as call always goes to voice mail and no one EVER calls you back.
Finally upon installation: the living room blackout had a stain and will have to be re-ordered and the bedroom curtain is way too long, although it was specified that there should be no puddling on the curtains and to my surprise they wanted to charge an extra $240 to take up a brand new curtain which they made wrong.
Taking the case to the Victorian Fair Trade department.
This has been the worst company I ever dealt with in my whole like.
Do yourself a favor and look somewhere else.

I ordered curtains and shutters from Kresta Blinds for my apartment. Whilst the initial interaction was positive, once I placed the order, the wheels fell off. I will never again purchase anything from Kresta.

Here's why:
1. What was meant to take '4-6 weeks' to be manufactured took nearly 3 months. I understand supply chain issues, but there was no communication from the company in the interim.
2. Installer ('Nick') turned up with wrong brackets and couldn't hang the curtains, although the shutters were put up efficiently.
3. The Venetian blind I ordered actually didn't fit, so couldn't be installed. 'Nick' left it behind saying it wasn't his problem to take away as I'd paid for it. Same with the curtains.
4. When I rang the 'office' to talk about what happens next, they said they didn't have a record of any issues. This is despite the installer taking a photo of the Venetian blind that didn't fit and sending it to them via email. He said he also told then he had the wrong curtain brackets in the same email.
5. They also said they didn't have an installer called 'Nick'. They said it was meant to be 'Frank'.
6. Rescheduling the curtain installation has been a nightmare. You would think they'd prioritize my installation given it was their mistake that they weren't hung on the day.

Kresta insists on installing curtains when it suits THEM, not the customer. They only have one installer my area, so it's about when 'he's in the area'.

As at time of writing, I'm still trying to negotiate an installation date.

Give Kresta a hard pass. I wish I had gone somewhere else.

Don't use this company they don't get back to you on their customer care centre,my Shutter's have screws that are going rusty and they won't replace them said not covered by twenty year warranty have asked if they can send me the parts to replace myself but no answer back completely ignore you, not good enough after spending -$15,000 they should have used stainless steel fittings in the first place.
