Modern Group レビュー 

Modern Group did an excellent job supplying and installing our window shutters. The team was professional, with great attention to detail. They delivered outstanding service from start to finish. The shutters look fantastic and the whole process was smooth and stress free. Couldn’t be happier. Highly recommended.

Agreed to a quote after a web enquiry. Your salesperson was told over 10 times that we weren’t in a position to make a decision today. Wouldn’t take no for an answer. The high pressure sales techniques were employed, “calling his boss” the price dropped by over 25%. Eventually I had to step in on behalf of my partner (after an hour) and reinforce that we couldn’t make a decision. Salesperson was not going to leave, wasted so much of our time with their buy now pay later, non refundable deposit, price reduction etc.

Please be careful, worn your elderly relatives. Warn your cousins, your friends, your family, your neighbours. Don’t warn your worst enemies

great job in installation
My advice please don’t go for cheap jobs. Modern shutters may be a little more expensive but you get a great job. I installed 14 shutters more than 8 years ago and never had any issues till date. April month I installed the outdoor blinds professional job done.

Office/Accounts staff were very professional and efficient in resolving any issues or queries. Eugene provided excellent service when undergoing installation of roller blinds. Friendly and pleasant to deal with. Thank you to The Modern Group.

Great communication, awesome products

I have to take Modern to the small claims tribunal to receive the deposit I paid. They did not follow up on any of the promised steps and have become not complaint in following Australian Trade Practices laws. I have signed another company and received service and better quality for less than their quoted price.

I signed up for plantation shutters and blinds with Modern Group after a “free quote” at my apartment.

Later that same day, after reviewing the cost more carefully, I realised it wasn’t financially manageable and emailed to cancel immediately — before any measure, manufacturing, or installation had started.

Despite cancelling on the same day, I’ve had no response and no clarity about my deposit or refund.

I made it clear in my email that I understood reasonable costs may apply and simply asked:

* whether any costs had actually been incurred
* for confirmation of cancellation

The lack of communication has been really disappointing and stressful. I also felt there was pressure to make a decision on the spot during the quote, which in hindsight didn’t allow enough time to properly consider the cost.

At a minimum, I would expect prompt acknowledgement and transparency about any refund.

Happy to update this review if this is resolved, but at this stage I’ve heard nothing. This has been an extremely stressful and unwelcome experience.

Bunch of crooks. Wouldn't fix roller shutter under warranty causing window damage, despite contacting them again and again (for over 2 years) and multiple people coming out to 'have a look'. Don't trust them.

Very disappointed with Moderns after sale service- or lack of! We chose Modern as we believed them to be a long time supplier in Australia- I wish I had read their reviews first. The controller failed just over a year after purchase and Modern refused to replace it as it was deemed out of warranty. It was useless without the controller. Not happy at all!

I have no other option but to write a 3rd review in regards to Modern Group! I paid $1,220 as a deposit for shutters then I found that I wouldn’t have the money to pay for them. No manufacturing had been started, not even a measure up. After many emails and phone calls to them I was told that they would give me half of my deposit back. I received $600. I sought legal advice and sent a Final Letter of Demand for the rest of my deposit. I received a reply to my 2nd review on TrustPilot saying they have already addressed my complaint. No! They definitely have not! I’m on the Aged Pension and desperately need the remaining $620 back. Come on Modern, do the right thing and try and get your reputation up at least a little bit. Currently sitting at 2.3. Not good for an established company!

Modern Blinds installed 2 outdoor weather blinds for me.
Their quote was reasonable and better than others.
The process moved forward to plan.
The installation was carried out to my satisfaction.
Staff were friendly and courteous.
Jackson Grech and other staff kept me informed throughout the process.

Don't Purchase Outdoor Blinds - Buyer Beware Was quoted and paid top dollar, for what was promised to be top quality/commercial grade outdoor blinds. Original installation was carried out by a tradie who I later discovered had not been properly trained in the product, as their main installation guy was off work injured. Have now had 4 warranty issues to be recetified, including parts breaking, due to original incorrect installation. Last month, one of the blinds free-fell over 1.5m (approx 10kg weight dropping), nearly hitting my wife in the head. A "Major Fault" under Australian Consumer Law (which required suppler to provide a full refund), includes safety issues. A 10kg drop from that height could be fatal, especially to my kids. Have asked for full refund, but the supplier is refusing, as the manager claims he doesn't think that it's a major fault. Do not trust this company, especially the outdoor blinds division in Perth.

Just had a roof restoration and some major leaks fi xed. Blake and Deacon did a great job, no cigarette breaks or checking Internet, got stuck in and did a great job.

Just had a Modern Roller Shutter installed at my home and I couldn’t be happier with the result. While they may be a little more expensive than some alternatives, you genuinely get what you pay for — quality product, professional installation, and excellent service.

Having dealt with Modern for over 20 years, the service has always been first class, and this experience was no exception. Highly recommend Modern to anyone considering roller shutters.

Asked for an outdoor blinds quote and made it clear I’m the sole decision-maker. The salesperson still insisted my husband had to be present and pushed to add his details. Never asked first if I was even married / if he worked away / nothing. Just straight up insisting he needed to be there for colour selection a decision making. Outdated and frustrating business protocols in 2026 to have to deal with this from a company that calls themselves modern. Taking my business elsewhere.

Debbie on the phone tried to book appointment for quote with Wife, advised I am the financial decision maker, mortgage in my name only. Still wanted to book with wife, when the appointment isn't requiring two people to accept any agreement. Someone came to provide quote, did not want to measure and quote until she could do so with my wife present. The sales tactics are getting obvious and old. I just wanted a cost to know if we can financially afford the blinds. If you want to use sales tactics on me and decline to provide a price, then what's the point?

No show to appt! Made a poor excuse of cancellation of the appt because of not answering a call. I've never had a company be a no show if they didn't get a call back. Any kind of msg could be enough to inform of cancellation, this is the modern world, haha.
Nick didn't want to come for the appt and tried to get out of it. Since I caught him out, he tried to put it back on me that's their company policy to be a no show if you don't answer their call. If that's the case, you should have that in all your appt bookings notice and that should be your company slogan, haha. "No answer = No show, even though you've made the appt intentionally." Haha

Email sent to consumer support two times so far.

Good Afternoon,

We purchased outdoor blinds from your company due to having them already at our other property.

Your consultant Anthony McAleer visited us at our home, we explained that we had a blind previously fitted to our other house and the blind stopped water entering through the fabric.

There were blinds already fitted at our new house which were Zip Track, showed Anthony that these ones let water straight through and you could see the water on the ground and it was made very clear numerous times that we wanted no water to enter our outdoor area (image was also attached), this was noted as we had all new outdoor furniture still wrapped in plastic awaiting waterproof blinds installed.

After going through the details with Anthony we chose colour and %, this wasn't an issue as again numerous times i mentioned as long as it stops the water entering the enclosed outdoor area i wasn't bothered to much and the cost wasn't a big issue as we just wanted what we asked for.

We agreed on the details, and we offered to pay cash which we thought would get us a better service and Anthony he could offer a discount due to this.

A call was made from your Production Manager Alex, 4 weeks later advising that the colour fabric we chose was not available for another 3 months, (not sure why it took 4 weeks to advise) it is also noted at this stage we had already paid $7000 based on our selections.

After consulting my wife, we agreed to change the colour as we didn't want to be delayed any longer having the install completed.

A variation was applied with both parties signing.

At this stage we were OK with the colour change and the promptness to have the blinds installed quicker.

My wife received a call 5th September from Alex advising the 99.9% is no longer available however they had 99.0% available, again this was not what we requested. My wife clearly explained to Alex, does this stop the rain entering as this was our one and only request.

Alex advised that even thou the fabric was now 99.0% it would stop any water entering the outdoor area.

At this stage i spoke directly with Alex who confirmed we would not have any water issues,
Asked if the price changes now since its not the product we requested of which was informed no.

We took this as truth from Alex and proceeded with another variation.

The blinds were installed by Pierre, the installation was extremely good as what i would expect from your company after having previously used you.

Pierre also confirmed the ones he took down were not of the same quality as Moderns and the selection we made would stop and water issues as he could also see how water was just entering the area.

Two days after the install one of the cables linked to the handle had broken, called Alex and was advised Pierre will pop back in a few days later as he was also replacing the handle on the blind at my other property, this took 6 weeks to for someone to attend the other property, we had to reschedule the tenant 4 times due to no one turning up.

Four days after the installation we had a weekend of rain, it became apparent on the first lot of rain that these blinds were not waterproof and if anything as bad as the ones we replaced. Our brand new furniture that we finally had a chance to un plastic was cover in water.

When Pierre turned up to replace the handle, my wife explained that the blinds were not waterproof and were suppose to stop water entering, at this stage Pierre advised they would allow a little water in (images provided showing water entry and clearly a lot more than a little water).

Emailed Alex directly 2nd October, 7th October and 19th October(copied of emails attached).

We also emailed the company feedback portal 14th October and to this day we have not had a response from Alex or anyone from your company.

Customer service is paramount nowadays and especially when you spent $15000 an no-one has the decency to respond to our issues.

My job is in a high paced industry and if i treated a customer like the way i have been treated i would be without a job.

To outlay that kind of money when everyone is struggling and not be contacted has now played a big part of my mental health declining, i cant stand looking at the blinds and am here writing this to you while hoping it doesn't rain as these blinds are not worth the money we spent.

We understand and accept the variations but wont accept these are the blinds we requested and paid for.

If your salesman and production manager actually listened to our numerous requests i would not need to bring this to your attention.

If we were advised there was an error and it may have cost us a bit more we would of been happy to oblige, however the fact I'm chasing you guys down to get a response we will not be entertaining the thought of paying any extra money.

I would like to warn others considering dealing with Modern Group, the quality of the outdoor blinds are not fit for purpose, we have been calling them back for constant repairs ever since they have been installed, just on 12 months. They are now evading us to send someone out to look at the blinds as now the track they attached to the pergola has fallen off, they claim due to the weather, but they should be made to be out in the weather, looks like they didn't secure the tracks with proper screws/rivets. Do your research before buying from them, they charge way too much for a product not fit for purpose .
I WISH I HAD READ ALL THE REVIEWS BEFORE OUR QUOTE, NEVER WOULD HAVE GONE WITH MODERN IN VICTORIA, JUST READ ANOTHER REVIEW DESCRIBING THE SAME TACTICS SALESMAN HAD USED WITH US WITH THE PRICING! THEY QUOTE A HIGH AMOUNT, THEN A FAKE CALL TO THE MANAGER, MAGICALLY THEY OFFER A DISCOUNT IF YOU DISPLAY THE SIGN, THE INSTALLER SETS UP THE SIGN, TAKES A PHOTO AND THEN TAKES THE SIGN WITH HIM WHEN HE LEAVES, THIS IS THE BIGGEST SCAM I HAVE EVER FELL FOR, THIS WILL BE GOING TO THE ACCC OR VCAT FOR SURE, THEY CAN'T BE ALLOWED TO GET AWAY WITH OUTRIGHT RIPPING PEOPLE OFF.

If there was a minus star option I would select that!
Do not purchase through this company is what I wish I was told prior to making an expensive and frustrating mistake!
If looking for blinds and considering modern group SA I would suggest you consider these options:
1.look elsewhere
2.throw quoted amount of money for the blinds in the bin
3.hit your head against a brick wall multiple times

Being someone who did not opt for option 1, I feel I basically have taken option 2 and 3 by going with modern group.
Very quick to quote and take your money, this is where their efficiency ends.

Have had 4 outdoor blinds installed which we were fortunate enough to use a total of ten times max till the material broke away from the frame and they got stuck going down.

Calling constantly for at least 6 months now to have the same conversation each time. Unsure if it is now an office joke when they seem confused by my call and appearing that the information is new to them or if they deal with these calls constantly they are confused with who’s who.

Pretty sure there is zero communication or messages passed on to different workers within the office. Get told each week after relaying the same information that someone will call me to arrange coming out. In 6 months I have not had one call back, I then call back to have the same conversation and follow the same process.

Had it booked in once and no one turned up and there was no communication leading to me having to follow up again. When someone did come up they said the work required was far greater than the time allocated and he would relay to them and get it booked in. Never heard back. Called again to follow up to be told they thought everything was fixed. So currently back to square one with expensive blinds that we can’t use.

Have tried to find out information on their complaints procedure, ask for them to remove the blinds and refund, have spoken to management with the outcome being on par to if my pet dog was left to resolve the query.

I would say hanging a a bed sheet would be a more positive outcome than having to get blinds through modern group.

Mind is blown that anyone has had a positive experience.

Would love modern group to just remove the blinds and refund so I no longer have to call for such a simple request.
