I originally ordered shutters from SameDay Shutters located in Santa Ana. The order was predicated on a delivery date which would have been in a week. I was told this was not going to be a problem since their schedule for the week was fairly light. By Wednesday, I was told by their sales department that they have not yet had the time to even process the paperwork and make the cut sheets hence my order will not be ready for 2 weeks. I asked to cancel the order and get my deposit money of $1,300.00 back. They refused, saying that the condition stated that if worked had been started, then cancelled by the consumer, then they are enttled to 25% of the deposited money. I was clearly told that the cut sheet was not started and that all work follows only after making the cut sheets. They refused to give me any of my money back.

David Blachley is listed as a CEO for Achi(e)ver Corp. dba Durashutters aka SameDay Shutters, 1800eBlinds, 1800eBlinds.com, samedayshutter.com...within this site, apperently there has been compalints filed under then business entities 'The Shutter & Blind Factory' ' 21st Century Shutters, The Blind Man, ( http://www.ripoffreport.com/blinds-shutters-window-care/david-blachley-or-da/david-blachley-or-david-blanch-fp59a.htm

This is a rip-off. The flagship company name is 'Achiver Corp', that's according to the Santa Ana business License department. Achiver Corp is dba as Durashutters. David Blachley's email footnote that he sent to me in response carried a signatory label as David W. Blachley CEO, Achiever Corp. Inventor of Durashutters.

You will find a lowered rating for SameDay Shutters on BBB. Trustlink.com have two report filed against the same company.

This is a rip-off an concumers need to be aware!

David Blachley, CEO Durashutters

AUTHOR: Desante - ()

POSTED: Saturday, December 27, 2014

Just to remind everyone, consumers or investors alike, do not do business with this scumbag. All he does is rob you of your hard-earned cash. My case as stated on this thread can be read in the OC civil courts records. The case against SameDayShutters, was dba Achiever Corp., which forfeited the permitting once I won the case against this entity in which David Blachley is both CEO. He took the business out and likely will re-surface (if it isn't already) and closed the bank account under which we was doing his accounting with so I can't lawfully levy the judgment against his account.

 

He tried to appeal the original hearing's judgment to buy him time without any intention of showing up in the appeals hearing. This buys him another 30 days to 'clean-up' from the imminent demise of whatever fake company he needs to close down. When I had my case heard by the courts, he was also under suit aby another person roughly the same time. That person also won their case against him/SameDayShutters and he also never paid the judgment, or more accurately, never gave back our monies he had taken.

 

Once again...court records are public information. Check SameDayShutters, Achiever Corp., David Blachley...there's judgments against the companies he ran for swindling us (the public) of our monies.

 

This site contains all the other complaints made against him and his multiple businesses in the past that had all benn closed after judgments. BEWARE!!!

Mr. ? routinely & wrongly sues many companies and it's employees and is smearing my good name, I had to appear in court, the Judge reprimanded Mr.? and took me off the law suit.

AUTHOR: David Blachley - (United States of America)

POSTED: Wednesday, August 22, 2012

Mr. ? routinely & wrongfully sues companies including its employees and every wholesale account he can find, after the Judge reprimanded him (Mr. ?) for it, he then resorts to smearing my good name in this online s**t website.
Mr. ? kindly pay attention, this is simple:

1.) You purchased shutter from a 'corporation' then sued four companies that I sell patented Durashutter materials to including me because I sell material to them. I did set on the board of directors and held a position within a corporation, again, this does not make me personalty responsible, as the Judge told you that is a no-no.  I had to show up in court, the judge had to repeat himself several times to made it clear and then reprimanded you in court for suing so many companies and employee (me), and then took me off your witch hunt.  
AGAIN:    
1.) You never picked up your shutters, so how can you report on the quality of the materials that I sell?     
2.) A CEO title is a diffident position than a President title, look it up on the internet, seem to know well
3.) The President and share holder of this company you talk about is Mr. Dan Bornn
4.) YOU DO NOT HAVE A JUDGEMENT on me personally
5.) YOU ordered shutters and beat up the sales clerk Beth for a five (5) day rush delivery, they were made in 4, Beth was sick, you called, the fill in girl told you normally delivery takes 3-4 weeks you cancelled the next day and was told to come pick. three month later when the corporation closed its doors your shutters were throw away

Achiever Corp dba DuraShutters, SameDay Shutters

AUTHOR: Desante - (USA)

POSTED: Thursday, August 16, 2012

David Blachley:

You were the CEO/President of Achiever Corporation.
You were/are CEO/inventor for DuraShutter.
You were behind the operation for SameDay Shutters.
You were behind the operation for 1800eBlinds.
You were the one who took my money and refused to give it back.
You were you the one who appeared in court during our small claims hearing.
You were the one, as your legal signature showed, who filed an appeal but didnt show up.

For anyone whos reading this, whether youre a customer or an investor, know thismy mistake in my suit against this scumbags thievery is I didnt *name* him *personally* in my suit. Instead the plaintiff named were : Achiever Corp dba DuraShutter, SameDay Shutters. If any of you are presently in a suit against him and/or his business, or had been wronged by him or his shutter business, make certain you *name* him personally in your suit filing.

Is David Blachley *personally* responsible for the judgment of my case? Legally, Achiever Corp dba DuraShutters, SameDay Shutters areentities owned and operated by David Blachley.  *David Blachley* *legally* cannot be responsible for the judgment by virture of the fact I erred and DID NOT name him personally when I filed my suit but as far as I'm concerned it doesnt make him any less of a scumbag in my book.

David Blachley said:
The custom made shutters you ordered were completed in 3-4 working days on your request, however you never picked them up, you were given 3-4 notices and five month but choose not to pick them up and after the company closed it doors and could not store your shutter any longer were thrown away..

LOL. This matter and case has already been decided by the Orange County Civil Court.

Note: Just read another person's post above who apparently also had the misfortune of making a mistake dealing with his silly shutter businesses like I did...I am elated a site like this exist!

#8 Consumer Comment

I too was Ripped Off by DAVID BLACHLEY

AUTHOR: SVN - (USA)

POSTED: Thursday, August 16, 2012

I concur with the author's comments as Mr. Blachley also ripped me off in 2010 when I purchased shutters from his company "SameDay Shutters, 1800.eblinds and DuraShutters"! I had to dispute all of the charges with my credit card company as well as in the courts as he provided me with POOR QUALITY SHUTTERS THAT DOES NOT WORK... totally unusable! All of Mr. Blachley past dealings with past patrons have been to date UNSATISFACTORY in which his companies' ratings with the BBB have fallen from an "A" to an "F" as soon as complaints starts filing in. Mr. Blachley has a habit of forming new entities and closing old ones when complaints and lawsuits piles up. As a matter of fact, I too won in court  and too date Mr. Blanchley has not refunded me a single peny as he has closed his physical shop in Santa Ana so I can't collect on the judgement! To this date you will not find a physical address for any of his companies within California as Mr. Blachley is avoiding the court system to pay up for all the court judgements that he have collected over the years. This is one TRUELY HORRIBLE individual who thinks he has out smarted the system but yet he does not realize that consumers are getting smarter and are aware of his unethical antics and have stayed clear of his HORRIBLE PRODUCTS!!!! YUP, hear that David Blachley, although I can't get my money back... I will soldier on to do what ever that is necessary to get your WRONG DOINGS out there so that you will NO LONGER have future victims!!!!!!

This person Does NOT Have a Judgment Against David Blachley
He is wrong and I ask him for the third time to reveal himself and provide
proof that he has a judgment stating such.

STOP your slanderous statements sir and
seek legal advise about filing slanderous statements.

STOP immediately, this website herein WILL give me your
contact information and then I WILL SUE YOU.  

Again, you ordered from a corporation with a president/share
hold, other than I.  However I am aware
you ordered custom made to order shutters from a corporation that closed
it doors.

The custom made shutters you ordered were completed in
3-4 working days on your request, however you never picked them up, you were
given 3-4 notices and five month but choose not to pick them up and after the
company closed it doors and could not store your shutter any longer were thrown
away. If you have a judgment, it is NOT a judgment against me. Again talk to
you attorney or get one before I sue you. This is the third (3) notice and on
the 4th I will file a lawsuit against you, sir.

David Blachley is a rip-off Scumbag.

AUTHOR: Desante - (USA)

POSTED: Thursday, August 16, 2012

Achiever Corp is the permitted entity doing (had done) business in Santa Ana as Durashutter, SamDay Shutters/1800eBlinds, etc... It's CEO/owner is David Blachley.

http://www.corporationwiki.com/California/Santa-Ana/achiever-corporation-which-will-to-do-business-as-durashutter/44937645.aspx

When attempting to collect the court's judgment, Achiever Corp's permit showed forfeited status. SameDay Shutters vacated their 2127 address (while operating another business entity 'Ultra Shutter' next door. Address is 2125).

The Orange County Civil Court have open judgment against him for his silly antics. It's public record. Available for anyone to check and see for themselves.

David Blachley, you should not have taken my money the way you did. The OC court agreed with me. As they have with other suit filed against you. I hope consumers and investors alike can at least be warned by this blog and information, and I pray and hope you 'lose' at least a thousand times MORE than the amount you've taken from me.

Your last post not only showed you're a slimy snake but a lying one, too.

#5 REBUTTAL Owner of company

He is picking names out of the air- I am not responsible -

AUTHOR: David Blachley - (United States of America)

POSTED: Wednesday, August 15, 2012

It's likely this person did buy one of my branded products made with materials by a corporation that closed their doors and they may have an issue with the company, but linking me as being personally responsible not not correct.  Anyone can call The Blind Man company as they are still in business and they will confirm that I am not nor have I ever been an owner and have not sold them material to make products with.  The person posting herein to this blog is apparently picking names out of the air.
   
A.) I have been in window covering for 35+ years, have employed 1,000s, have owned and operated the second largest chain of window covering retail outlet stores in America. I am a third generation inventor, I have invented and awarded six United States Patent Awards. I am currently selling materials to factories coast to coast and in three countries. I have been VP of a NASCAR race team, worked hard my whole life to build a good name in the window covering industry. My dealers nor do I conduct business as this person is saying, I am asking for proof that I owned any of theses companies, I called them and anyone can find that I have not been to nor have I any relationship with The Bind Man as well.  

Over the last 10 years or so there have been 4 or so customers out of about 330,000 sales and/or a disgruntled ex employee of mine that has posted negative and/or conspiracy theories in an attempt to extirpate and destroy my good name by posting to this internet terrorism posting venue consider as highly controversial. 

I do not sell products, only materials to fabricators that intern sell my brand to the public.  Other than a resent 18-month market study and product development effort and the above-mentioned company I own from about 1985 to 1995 called Qwik Blinds, a chain of 52 retail outlet stores in four states. 

B.) I have been building a good name in this window covering industry for 35 years providing materials to factories coast to coast including Australia and Canada with one or more of my products in 330,000 homes with happy customers, however less than 1.5% were not, and 4 or so customers and/or an ex employee have gone to the dark side reverting to what is now referred to as internet terrorism via posting out highly controversial venues like this.   

C.) In the past I did provide hands-on management services in exchange for various R&D, (product development), market research including qualities, qualitative and segmentation, re-development and product redeployment freedom and have had deeper relations with some. 

Again, I have been in window covering industry more than 35 years, directly and indirectly servicing more than 330,000 customers and manufactured collectively countless millions of blinds, shades and shutters. I have been involved as a supplier for most of my 35 years, however in 1989-1995.

I did manufacture not only the component that went into blinds, I also fabricated the blinds and sold to the public from a chain of 52 outlet stores that I also owned in four western states including Arizona, Californian, Nevada and Texas. Yes, I was also involved with companies that did go out of business as did 90+% of all small businesses (non-franchised) failed within five years
as reported by the U.S. small business administration (SBA), however none of my fabricators or dealers intentionally went out of business to ripp-off anyone. 

 As for responding to the ramblings on from theses 4 our so past customers and/or an ex employees made up and/or conspiracy theories about several corporations that have in fact closed their doors going out of business, that I did sell materials and/or was involved within a limited capacity to develop and or retest, redevelop and redeploy products from and help with them with running the company. There are also companies I never hand dealings with, in any shape or forum, or capacity, such as The Blind Man, they are still in business today and from what I know they have a good reputation. 

Another company they blast as a retailer is Diamond Coat Technologies and Milling Incorporated, which I did help, start up by sitting on as an interim officer for three months help me formulate a patented coating technology for an R&D project. 

Again, none of my licensed fabricators of mine or myself went into business to rip off anyone as theses 4 or so retail persons (or a disgruntled ex employee) reporting to this Internet terrorism promotion venue, that obviously by the name alone fuels exaggeration and/or unscrupulous reporting in an attempt to destroy reputations including mine.

David Blachley / DuraShutter

AUTHOR: Desante - (USA)

POSTED: Monday, June 13, 2011

Update: Having won the judgment against David Blachley, DuraShutter in the Santa Ana Superior Court, I attempted to collect the judgment amount, David Blachley had instead packed up his scamming acts as he had done before.

Achiever Corp., the permitted name to do business in Sta Ana, dbas SameDay Shutters, Ultra Shutters, 1800eBlinds, 1800eBlinds.com; operated by David Blachley under his crummy and dangerous product called DuraShutters is currently in hiding. Achiever Corp recently forfeited their status, Sameday Shutters closed and is currently rated 'F' by BBB, and Ultra Shutters, if they are still open they shouldn't be since their permit under Achiever Corp is forfeited.

Aside from the judgment levied against him by the small claims court, David Blachley Dura Shutters also have one additional open judgment that I am aware of that he is also flaking from.

Consumers and Investor alike DO NOT do business with David Blachley of Newport Beach / Dura Shutters. Check with the CA State Attorney General, Santa Ana (CA) Attorney General and thoroughly check this guy and the open judgments he has both past and present. Google the name David Blachley, go to BBB, Trustlink and other reports in this site regarding this scamming man.

If you see shutters being advertise and called as DuraShutter, BEWARE! He will likely re-surface under a different permit and retail name but it will be the same shoddy product DuraSutter and the same scam artist David Blachley. I hope my report would at least help others avoid this man and his deeds altogether. Stay away from DuraShutter by David Blachley!!!!

Update of my case and complaint against David Blachley

AUTHOR: Desante - (United States of America)

POSTED: Tuesday, February 08, 2011

I am filing an update of my case and complaint against David Blachley.

I sued Achiever Corp dba SameDay Shutters, Ultra Shutters, 1800eBlinds, 1800eBlinds.com, SameDayShutters.com of 2127 (5) So Hathaway, Sta. Ana, CA 92705; and the hearing date was November 23, 2010.

Achiever Corp. / David Blachley / SameDay Shutters lost the case and the court made him liable to give me back my money. David Blachley was supposed to pay the judgment within 30 days of the court's ruling. On the 29th day, December 22, 2010, Achiever Corp filed an appeal to small claims judgment. The Appeal trial date was scheduled on January 27, 2011.

No one from Achiever Corp. showed up for the hearing thus the judge dismissed his appeal and the original judgment is finally levied against Achiever Corp dba SameDay Shutters, David Blachley CEO Durashutters. The judgment amount is now due immediately.

To this day, February 8, 2011, David Blachley has not paid the judgment.

This guy, his corporation, is a crooked business entity. Like he had done in the past, as shown on this site, be forewarned that David Blachley, Dura Shutters, operating from a permit under the name of Achiever Corp. a foreign permittee originating from the State of Nevada and operating in Orange County, California under the DBAs SameDay Shutters, Dura Shutters, 1800eBlinds, Ultra Shutters is not a business you would want to deal with.

In addition to myself, David Blachley was also involved in another small claim suit which he also lost, appealed, lost again and still, at the time of this posting, had not paid the judgment on that case as well. The case was against this complaint.

http://www.ripoffreport.com/blinds-shutters-window-care/david-blachley/david-blachley-david-blachley-78f3a.htm

Based on this, this is a scam business and David Blachley is a scam. Stay away from this business.

My Rebuttal - For the Record.

AUTHOR: Desante - (United States of America)

POSTED: Friday, September 03, 2010

 

I am not 'on hold' as David Blachley fully understands we had *clearly* cancelled this order.

1. Alex Moniz, the sales girl I had been working with, and the one who was supposed to handle this order, CLEARLY told me she has not even began to process my order, and CLEARLY reiterated that all work begins with her and she has NOT even started on the 'cut sheets'. She clearly told me "all work on any order starts with her".

Cut sheets are made according to the measurements of the windows being ordered. This was factually the reason she told me why our order will not be ready as previously expressed. I repeated what she told me just to make sure, and she said the same exact thing. I told David this plainly and as stated.

As for the condition he posted, I can read it very clearly and very easily, though apparently David does not.

<<Once ordered, cancellations will only be accepted if assembly of the merchandise has not begun (raw materials has not been cut) and a charge will be made for that cancellation. Once final assembly has begun no cancellations will be accepted. >>

Any shutter manufacturer will tell you that 'milling' comes once the cut sheet is handled over. Raw materilas cannot be milled if cut sheets are not available. Once I told Alex Moniz to cancel the order by virtue of what she told me, she put me on hold and had me talk to David. He basically told me that *Alex is mistaken* because he had started to 'mill' the material. That's bogus!

1) How much material does he need to 'mill' if he does not have the quantity of material being ordered?

2) How does he even know there's even any order at all if my paperwork has not even been processed by Alex?

This is the reason David had used to keep me from cancelling my order. I told this guy we are not rich and whatever money we have is all there is to use for our home. Despite knowing he hasn't done anything on this order, I offered he take the 25% plus $100.00 and give me back the rest of our money. He refused.

<<If customer wishes to cancel order and only raw material is milled (not cut into sizes), the Company may at its option cancel order and charge a 25% of the entire order as a restocking fee plus a $100.00 charge if the on-site re-measure and final sight inspection were done.">>

FTR- there were NO site measure/re-measure done, no final inspection done. I measured the windows myself and gave them the measurements WITH pictures of the windows. So, even based on the condition he posted, he legally has no reason to refuse to give us proper refund of our $1,300.00.

I had clearly told him the order is cancelled. My wife had recorded this conversation I had with him. If you would like to hear this recoding, I'll be more than happy to make it available.

To this day he still have all our money. Not one penny is refunded, nor was there any misunderstanding on any part of what transpired. David Blachley still have all our monies despite my many attempts to ask for it back. I had also retained all phone records I made to this establishment since day one to show *I* was the one making all the calls.

Based on this experience, this guys is a rip-off. What he is saying here is...you can order anything you want, and if they can't give you your order based on your pre-agreed time, even if they HAVE NOT done anythig on your order, they will maintain the right to take your money regardless.

To the site's administrator, unless David Blachley returns our money then he had RIPPED us OFF. Any/all potential customer need to know this type of business conduct and they need to be forewarned.

Rebuttal to Mr. Wagner complaint.

AUTHOR: same day shutters.com - (United States of America)

POSTED: Friday, September 03, 2010

Mr. Wagner did place an order with same day shutter June 19 2010. 

If Mr. Wagner would read the terms of sale and warranty agreement, it is plain and simple Language

 1. Cancellation: Merchandise herein ordered is special order, custom, merchandise that The 1800eblinds.com Factory of Santa Ana- will order on the buyers behalf. Once ordered, cancellations will only be accepted if assembly of the merchandise has not begun (raw materials has not been cut) and a charge will be made for that cancellation. Once final assembly has begun no cancellations will be accepted. If customer wishes to cancel order and only raw material is milled (not cut into sizes), the Company may at its option cancel order and charge a 25% of the entire order as a restocking fee plus a $100.00 charge if the on-site re-measure and final sight inspection were done.

 

8.  The 1800eblinds.com Factory of Santa Ana- has given the buyer its best estimate of completion time (or this order and ready to pick up at factory, but factory production schedules change without notice; therefore, completion time is an estimate and does not obligate us.

 

 

 

The owner chose the option not to cancel the order, and Mr. Wagners order has been

On hold until the matter is resolved.

please remove the complaint review with regards to this matter, as it

Is clear on the customers contract, for which Mr. Wagner did sign and agree to.

 

Same day shutter manufactures custom made to the end user " ready to assemble "

plantation shutters factory direct to the home owner. the fact is the order was in process

and the customer attempted to cancel after production was already started.

 

Best regards,
