We broke a part of our cellular (honeycomb) blinds yesterday. There was no manufacturer markings on it so I went with Mr Google for help. A Victoria ebay merchant was the only one showing the part, selling it for $48 + $6.50 shipping, delivery in 3 weeks.
Off I went to the local blind shops. Shop 1 did not recognise the part, nor were they helpful in suggesting a source. Shop 2 did not have or recognise the part but suggested a repair service not far away, and shop 3 had the part. $5.00. (the repair service had not yet opened for the day and all the shops were within 5 minutes)
Caveat Emptor.
