We're shopping for blinds and the quotes I am getting seem very high, even with 'friends' discount.

I am trying to source 4 blinds (23 1/2 x 59 1.4) and many stores ask for C$ 950 (US $700) before taxes per 'sheer shade' blind plus $200 for installation and $120 for shipping.

What I find amusing is that the double glazed, high performance grade windows themselves cost $320 per.

Are those prices for blinds a bit on the high side or is that the new normal?

Blinds are most likely made in China.

Appreciate the feedback
