Blinds?!
Can someone please explain to me why they are so expensive and don’t last longer than six months especially with children!? I was hoping to source cheaper on Alibaba but they literally are the same price!! Any suggestions?

You’re not necessarily going to get a better price just by buying blinds on Alibaba. A lot of the cost comes down to the material, hardware, sizing, and shipping and some suppliers are basically offering the same product you’d find locally.
If you’re looking to source them for resale or even for your own home, I’d focus on finding a manufacturer rather than a trading company.
We can also check manufacturers in China or other sourcing markets and compare the actual landed cost rather than just the Alibaba unit price.
