Blinds Made in One Day: Most ValuSeries brand products and many of the popular colors of the Hunter Douglas products are custom-made for you in just 1 business day. Begin counting when: Your complete order is received by 11:00am Central Your credit card is authorized (or check has cleared your bank or approved by TeleCheck). On extremely rare occasions there may be delays caused by out-of-stock materials, shipping delays, temporary factory overload, holidays, or other factors beyond the control of Blinds.com and its associates. In the event of a known delay, when the manufacturer contacts us you will be contacted that day. If we don't contact you then, you'll get a small gift as a token of our appreciation for your patience. Blinds.com reserves the right to reject any order, at its discretion. Due to the time sensitivity of our one day products, blinds made in one day can not be cancelled or changed once they've been ordered.

Hi there, I'm Katie - a creative social impact strategist, marketer and writer with a seriously geeky side. I focus my time and heart in the nonprofit and civic organization space after spending 15+ years supporting agile Marketing, Sales and Customer Service teams in E-commerce and B2B/B2C. I facilitate difficult conversations, I dive deep into the needs of challenged communities, I break down silos, I teach smart people interesting and relevant things, I'm not afraid to experiment and I work hard to get a little bit better every single day. Chances are pretty strong that I'll be both your biggest cheerleader and truth teller. From Fortune 100 companies to global nonprofits to tiny start ups, I've served as a digital marketing guide and social innovator in both the agency and in-house environment. I simply love what I do, the people I collaborate with and the impact that thoughtful, hard work can have on a community. Education and continuous personal improvement is hugely important to me. I took a big leap and returned to university as an adult student to fulfill a longtime goal: completing my bachelors and masters degrees at my dream school. I did this as a mother and full-time employee, which I mention not to brag — but to celebrate the beautiful diversity our life paths bring us and to encourage you to share your remarkable journey with me too.
