The one eyed spying pirate at work......
O.K we originally had the
pricing of these blinds on the web. Then we noticed that every time we
dropped our prices, so did our competitors!.
(such a pain!, Imitation is a form of
flattery I suppose!)
The prestige blinds have
the following free options:
SPECIAL OFFER
(limited time)
Prestige Collection blinds are $10.00 over our cost.
(O.K what do we mean by cost? actual blind cost + Credit Card charges
+$10.00 per blind, that's it!)
Prestige collection has
been one of our most requested collections, primarily due to the quality
and price of the blind. The delivery time is 2-3 weeks.
PRICE COMPARISON
We are comparing the blinds
from the same manufacturer (Prestige) - , they are sold by different
retailers. In
some cases these blinds are sold under a trade name by certain
retailers. (sort of their own generic
version)

 Our competitors are currently more expensive on woven/bamboo blinds
respectively.
How we evaluated our market
competitors
Great
care and accuracy has been taken to obtain the correct pricing comparisons from our
competitors. Prices were obtained by going directly to their websites or calling the
individual stores. Since there were very few merchants selling bamboo curtains
domestically in the U.S, this was relatively easy!! We have compared the closest and
sometimes equal product that is available in the US market to our product.
All phones quotes was
logged and recorded. If you find one of these prices incorrect, please ASAP. The Callaloo Company will not be held responsible for
errors made by the merchants or for pricing fluctuations that is beyond our control.
(07/2/2002)
We have attached the
address of known/active webmerchants of woven bamboo blinds in the continental U.S. As
intelligent/knowledgeable buyers we strongly recommend that you: visit these
websites to see the market offerings in bamboo curtains, obtain more than one quote and
evaluate all the products available. (If there are any other competitors we have not
compared against, please let us know!!)

addresses to your browser to view their websites:
