buying accessories on line

Post by andy_k »

I made the mistake of dealing with a company I've used twice in the past for 'aftermarket accessories' both of those times, I got a great personal service, an outstanding product and would have happily recommended them to anybody. This time. things are a little different two weeks down the line I have no product, have received zero customer service - the personal touch is gone as has my recommendation! (and money) - Looking through their Trustpilot reviews, it seems I'm not the only one - I guess the original owner of the business sold out!

This company is best avoided if you are looking for a set of car mats

I learned a long time ago to use a credit card for every online purchase.

No sign of the goods...ring the bank and do a chargeback. The seller is the bank's problem after that, and my blood pressure's spared :-D


Trustpilot scores can't be trusted as an unscrupulous business can flag bad reviews for "illegal" content. This means they're not counted pending a review which can take an unspecified amount of time.

Mr Car Mats' reviews on other sites are a bit more illuminating:

yeah, my previous experiences with them have been exceptional but I suspect they are under new ownership as it all looks a bit 'corporate' and whereas it was one guy who genuinely cared, now it's a load of people, none of them seeming to give a s**t :(
