Place to purchase blinds?

Can anyone recommend online retailers for window mini blinds?
I need to buy several window mini blinds. Local retailers (Lowes, Home Depot, etc.) are a no-go since they don't stock what I need -- 1/2 inch "micro" mini blinds.

We've placed two large orders through BlindsGalore.com and have been very happy. We even bought their "house brand" vertical blinds and they've been great. Good prices. And a special is on right now -- 15% on orders over $375.

We've had good luck with Smith and Noble. They've been around a long time and we've been pleased with both the quality/durability of the products and speed of delivery.

Believe it or not, Wal-Mart has online ordering of custome window blinds.

JC Penney's. Seriously. I just went yesterday for blinds and drapes after my mother put a bug in my ear about the place.
I was really surprised. Very reasonable prices and a good selection-- fully-lined silk drapes, shutters, Roman shades, cellular shades, etc.
While the store I went to had a decent display of products, they also have a pretty huge catalog of stuff they can order for you.
The online selection does not cover everything they offer in their catalog, although I do see that they have one kind of vinyl minblinds.
Incidentally--and this won't be of help if you're looking to order right away--they just ended a huge sale of window treatments on Sunday. The prices were insane, in some cases 60% off, plus an additional 10% off, plus a mail-in rebate. I got five sets of wood blinds and two curtain panels for less than $300.
It seemed like the sale was a regular thing, so it might be worth waiting for it, if you can.

I'll second BlindsGalore.com. I've ordered several things from them over the years and have always been satisfied.

We just ordered some from WindowDecoreAndMore and we're very happy with the blinds and the customer service. When they couldn't match two orders for the same room--placed a few hours apart--they comped us the matching blind.
Don't know if this matters, but I bought the blinds through their eBay store.

justblinds.com. Ordered from them twice, great service and great products. Could be a little on the pricey side, though it depends (obviously) on what you want.

Response by poster: I've noticed many of these sites list vinyl mini blinds imported from overseas. I thought that those types of imported blinds are a known lead hazard and aren't allowed anymore?

I'm in a similar boat - anyone deal with costco's memberblinds.com before?

Everything was great, blinds are very good and still used today. However, that was 2002. I have heard that they changed for the worse.
