Me: "Do you ship or have a distributor in Australia. I've been ringing everywhere but the Bunnings stores that you distribute to don't sell them don't anymore. Thanks in advance." Redishade replied:"Thank you for your interest in our product. We have a couple of local options for you to try. We received word from a customer who contacted the Bunnings in Tuggeranong (Canberra) and found they had a few of our shades in stock. They're shipping them to the Bunnings near her in Sydney. You could try contacting the Tuggeranong Bunnings store first. We have also established a new distributor relationship in Australia. Their contact information is: Damon De Angelis Hometec Plantation Shutters Ringwood Vic Aus Ph: 0408 335 973 Fax: 9879 3379 e: info@htfa.com.au w: http://www.htfa.com.au/ If either of these options do not work out, we would be happy to work with you directly from here in the States. Please contact us via email at sales@redishade.com so we can review your specific needs. I hope this info will help the people interested in this product and save them from ringing every Bunnings store in Melbourne. But this email did come too late for me. I got desparate and I actually found a similar shade on ebay (melbourne seller) http://www.ebay.com.au/sch/Home-Garden- ... ary+blinds Also by looking Hometec Plantation Shutters website ( http://www.htfa.com.au ) they seem to be a wholesaler. They do shutters, various types of blinds, sell wicker furniture so they may be cheaper than purchasing from retailers. I have yet to contact them though. Hi eli-kay123.. I ordered 10 of these last week only from Amazon US after trying to find these locally. Order was delivered in a week via DHL, strangely enough they shipped each blind in a separate package and so my card was charged for each blind separately. Final cost per item was around $18.50 AU including shipping.

Also don’t forget that you are eligible for privilege pricing via the PD Rewards membership at The Blind Factory and Kreative Design. We’ve posted up some tips and ideas for blinds and window covering for each room on blog - http://blog.porterdavis.com.au/index.php/2011-11/mix-and-match-your-blinds-for-style/ Cheers, Ebony Hi Ebony, got a few questions for you regarding PD Rewards as I couldn't find much info on the same.. - What's the procedure for getting PD Rewards discounts ? Do we get a card at handover ? - Can we avail these discounts during construction ? - Is there a list of places where we can avail the benefits of PD Rewards? Thanks in advance.. Re: Porter Davis homes 4440Feb 01, 2012 2:03 pm Team PD Sammyjane31 JLD Email your BC Sammyjane and get a variation raised. They mucked up the end where we were having a cupboard on our Island (it had mysteriously changed from one end to the other from contract drawings to final) and we got it changed. Best to do it before they order kitchen. Speaking of meetings with SS's when did you guys first meet yours on site? Hi JLD, I sent an email to my BC on Sunday and still haven't to hear from her! Looks like communication problems have no fully started and won't go away! Did you have to pay for the post variation??? We met our 1st SS in December when framing was being finsihed and he was retranched a week later. So basically for a month and a half we haven't really had any formal updates. That is why i said we need to meet and i wont pay our Lock up invoice until we do. Hi Sammyjane31, I’m sorry to hear that you’ve had difficulties getting a response for your BC. Have you heard from them yet? If not I’d like to help you, there could be a number of reasons that can be swiftly resolved. If you like, you can send me a private message with your full name, lot address and the best number for PD to reach you on so I can follow this up for you. Cheers Ebony Hi Ebony, Thank you for your response! Fortunately my BC has responded she advised her was very busy on Monday and was unable to respond and noted that our model includes a set of draws. The kitchen draws issue is now being recitifed and thankfully the cupboards weren't built yet. Thanks again for responding Sammyjane31 Forrestdale 27 Land Titled:4/11/11 Building Permit:4/11/11 Site Start Date: 16/11/11 Slab Date: 01/12/11 Frame Date:05/12/11 http://hordefamilyhome.blogspot.com/ Wow that is terrible about the insurance!
