Great Customer service fast delivery and quality product. The fit was very good, but not as good as job on the side windows compared to my VW T-Cross set.

Overpriced for something that should have fit perfectly

Fitting to a 2020 Toyota Corolla Hatchback Hybrid.
Shades were well packaged in a sturdy box and sign written nylon zip bag.
The quality of the shades look good. Fitting leaflet and clip 'type' guide included
The bag of clips were questionable, some look like they had stuck together before the paint had fully dried, leaving a few showing bare metal and a tatty paint finish.
I had the correct clips for the side rear windows, but for the tailgate window I had a mixed set of sizes of which some didn't match to what was in the fitting leaflet!
On fitting - the side rear window shades fitted OK, clips under the seal and door card fine, with a fairly snug fit.
The tailgate window on the other hand was a different story. Had to make do with the mishmash of clips but the shades themselves are over tolerance and too tight.
As such it takes some effort to to split the two to insert the joining clip.
On fitting the joining clip I noticed on driver side that shade was sagging and causing a noticeable distortion effect of the light coming through the fabric, this is due to being too tight and one shade pushing on the other.
I've made sure both sides were fitted and pushed in the corners as far as possible, so the problem is not me fitting nor the area to fit.
Removing the join clip and let one side overlap the other solves the issue, as the shade that was sagging is not being compressed.
But its left it looking like a bodged job.
I was expecting better for £84
Should of been half the price at most.

Car shades purchased for Volvo XC90

Car shades purchased for Volvo XC90.
Ordering was easy, delivery was prompt.
The shades are a good quality. They come in a zipped carry bag, complete with everything needed to fit them.
I use them to keep my dogs cool and safe in the car and they work perfectly. Including wide open windows on a motorway!
This is the second set I've bought and only had to do that as I changed cars. I can confirm they last. And if they can survive 4 GSDs I'm sure a few children won't phase them.
The price is very good. Don't be concerned that they are a lot cheaper than some alternative shades.
They are extremely good. If I change cars again I'll be back to purchase again.

Great Blinds

Good quick delivery.
Car shades are well made and fit perfectly to our car.
Easy to follow instructions and easy to actually install them to.
Far superior to our old net ones that used to flap around.

Great product

These are great. They fit the car perfectly and are very secure even with the windows down. They keep my baby shaded from the sun. I would definitely recommend

Fantastic custom fit car shades - Skoda Octavia

Fantastic products. The car shades fit my Skoda Octavia perfectly and the shades come with a storage bag for when not in use.

Easy to install and look great. Instructions were easy to follow as well.

Best custom fit shades on the market for the price. Highly recommend 👌

Well built but the fitting clips and instructions are rubbish.

I personally think the clips for the Outlander paseenger windows are an after though of the design and could be way better. The shade itself is sturdy and feels well built. Instructions on how to fit are poor. They fell out doing less than 30mph until I tried fitting a different way. I still think the clips are rubbish though.
Contact from customer services was slow. I had higher expectations based on other reviews and the price.

A perfect fit and fantastic quality!

Seriously impressed with my Car Shades bought for a Ford Focus. Other products either provided insufficient coverage or were awkward to fit and unsightly, especially the fabric net type. However, the Car Shades are a 100% perfect fit, provide excellent sun blockage and were super easy to fit with the special clips provided. They are also superb quality and definitely worth the price. You won’t be disappointed!

Great Product

Fantastic service, and a great product. Didn’t think I would be able to get any for a Land Rover Discovery 1 3 door, but they were in stock!!
Have just returned from a European trip to Albania and back where the shades were fantastic for added security and keeping the sun out of the Land Rover.
Thank you ☺️

Prompt service and excellent quality…

Prompt service, excellent quality and perfect fit.
Far superior to most other blinds and ideal protection for our grandchildren whilst still allowing them to see the world go by.
Our son immediately replaced his old-school sock-style blinds on his own car and then ordered another set for his wife’s car.
Not the cheapest, but you only get what you pay for, and definitely well worth the investment.

PERFECT!

Website information comprehensive and ordering process easy. Item arrived promptly, (4 days), packed in a protective bag with fitting instructions included. I rescued a dog who was happy in the car until we started to move then she would get agitated by the movement of everything outside the car so I bought these to black out the view from my rear windows which seems to have eased her agitation and also blocks out bright sunlight. Very pleased indeed.

Great addition to the car, shade and privacy

Found car shades after buying an alternative online. They are a perfect fit, easy to fit and provide our 1yo with more protection from the sun and a bit more privacy in the back. Definitely recommend, worth the money! Much better than those awful door sock things you see falling in the wind!

Helpful staff

Company/Staff very helpful when I contacted them with a query. It resulted in my returning original item for an alternative better suited to my needs. Refund for original item was expedited quickly and without fuss.

Awful

Awful. Told my address wasn't found in the system, so I requested to cancel the order. Told it was too late to cancel as blinds had in fact been shipped. Email later received saying order was cancelled.

Awful service. Found the staff rude and automated customer service emails unhelpful.
