I'm actually in the market for blinds as well, mainly cellular shades. Here's our research:

We got a quote from Hunter Douglas through Costco...costs an arm and a leg for each blind. No thanks.

Next we got a couple quotes from independent third party retailers, Calgary Blinds and Shutters and WinDecor. Both were fairly reasonable, had very good reviews on Google. Cost a couple thousand less than HD.

Then we priced it out DIY method using various online stores, Costco Bali , Lowes Bali, and Blinds.ca. They all have some price and then a 24/7 sale that reduces the price to an average that all three of them share. For example: Costco $410 regular price, Lowes $405 on sale price, Blinds.ca $390 on sale price (this is all on Bali brand).

Our decision is to go with DIY method using Costco Bali blinds (mainly because we trust Costco the most).
