Is it unreasonable to expect vertical window blinds to last more than 5 years?

Well, if you use that facility at least once every day, more likely at least twice, that's quite a lot of wear and tear over 5 years.

I had vertical blinds fitted at my 3 living room windows 5 years ago. The tilt n turn facility has failed on one of them, so I rang the firm (Hilary's) to see about getting it fixed.
Oh no, they only supply a complete package new blind, not a repair service.
Am I unreasonable in thinking this is just not 'good enough?
