How long do custom blinds take to arrive?

It varies enough by seller, product, and fabric that the only honest answer is: check the specific seller’s stated lead time at checkout rather than trusting a general figure. Made-to-order coverings are manufactured after you order, so they take longer than stock products — simpler shades in stock fabrics tend to ship sooner, while specialty fabrics, motorization, and large or complex orders take longer. Sellers publish an estimated production-plus-shipping window on the product or cart page, and it can stretch around peak sale periods. Plan for that lead time if you’re working to a move-in or event date, order a single test window first if the timeline allows, and confirm the estimate in writing at purchase, since custom orders are generally not returnable if plans change.
