Just wanted to say a massive thank you for our fantastic pod's. I must admit we didn't manage to fit them ourselves due to our van not being standard. Vanshades expert fitters did it. Customer service by Eve was brilliant, and being able to meet the expert fitters was a bonus (lovely guys).

Fantastic product and customer service. Not only are the blinds a high quality product the customer service was exceptional. Unfortunately one of the blinds was damaged in transit. However upon emailing Vanshades to confirm and explaining that the van was due to go to the converters imminently they dispatched a replacement immediately and it was delivered the next day. Eve in particular was brilliant, highly professional and efficient thank you!

I've had Vanshades pods in my T5.1 for a few years now and I love them! They're super black out, but they're also amazing at insulating the van - which I never knew about them!I've recently been back in touch with them to have a fly screen fitted and they were so helpful. Eve was really fast at replying and very friendly and the team fitted the fly screen so fast. They're a great company that obviously care about what they do.

I've had my binds filled over 4 years with no faults.Contacted customer service requesting a new blind handle as one was damaged by Bertie the dog chewing it only cosmetic damage.Eve very quickly responded sending a new handle out next day at no cost.Great Customer Service and support well done to all at Vanshades.

A true 5 star company. Absolutely professional from start to finish. Dealing with Jack, Rich and Jake gave so us so much confidence. We had blinds fitted on our T6.1 at the Vanshades production facility and they were able to accommodate our needs even with a tricky fitment behind the splash back. We couldn't recommend Vanshades highly enough.

Ordered three pods, two sliding doors and a rear tailgate. Arrived in good time and well packaged! Easy to follow instructions included, but also ample video tutorials available.The product itself is very well designed and the quality is also very good. A nice snug fit without interfering with the door seals.They have added a very stylish finish to my van, with the added benefit of being black out and colour matched to my interior.Thank you!

Isn't it good when you find a company that are professional, accommodating and true to their word.I've just got home from having a side shade fitted to my VW T5. The whole process from the initial phone call to driving away with my new "van Shades" blind was excellent. Absolutely excellent even!!!All the staff are courteous and attentive even though they are extremely busy.They have a very large, professional production facility which I'm sure they're going to out grow in the near future as the range of products and choice is vast.I chose a grey shade with grey material surround and it transforms my van immensely. The build quality is second to none too, and there's nothing out there (that I've seen) that comes close to this. So much better than curtains.I really appreciate the effort for fitting me in at such short notice (giving you only a few days to make my blind and Install it) even though I know you are absolutely pulled out with work.🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟A 5 star company where nothing is too much trouble.... I'll certainly be coming back when I want a blind for the rear window..Cheers guys and girls, all the very best for the future.From Sean.

Fantastic company. Upon visiting Vanshades for some advice on fitting their product to our van, they couldn't have been more helpful, especially Zak who even offered to fit them for us and did a much better job than we would have done, all staff we came into contact with were so helpful and friendly, I highly recommend the company and the product, amazing customer service.

Van Shades are FANTASTIC, product quality is superb at a good price.Contacted Ellie for some advice and to cut to the chase ended up taking the Camper to the factory in Barnsley and what a factory it is!!! I was greeted with a friendly welcome and a great cup of Yorkshire tea.Within an hour of arriving Rich, the Production Manager, had measured, manufactured and fitted blinds to suit my needs. They are brilliant, many thanks Van Shades, especially Ellie, Rich and Reece.

Amazing product, waited until used for a few months before reviewing. Can't fault, great advice in advance of delivery to prepare our van. Delivery sml hiccup (down to delivery company and sorted proactively by van shades 👍), received in perfect order ready for installation. Watched you tube videos... took minutes install AND they are brilliant! Worth every penny, do not bother looking elsewhere.

A bit of a rocky experience made right by some good customer service. Confusion about an items appearance due to an incorrect website image, rectified with a replacement item sent within 24 hours. Lead time was quoted as 4 weeks but ended up being 6 weeks due to how busy they are.

George Melville

These window pods are a brilliant idea, the quality and workmanship is second to none, the customer service is above and beyond. Just fitted three to my van, Vanshades have posted how to fit videos on there website so easy to follow for a fantastic result. If your thinking of getting these but are unsure, if you can make it to Edinburgh I’m happy for you to view mine.

Gave the guys at vanshades an email after the tension went in my blinds after a few years of ownership and honestly they were fantastic! Elle and eve responded so quickly to my email asking for help on how to repair them, They actually offered to repair them back at the factory for me free of charge! We met Richard at the factory who was the manager and he whisked them away and fixed them before id had chance to finish my brew! What a great company and a brilliant team!

Vanshades are a fantastic team. After having samples sent out to me I ordered my window pods. I arranged to have them fitted by Vanshades as I wanted the job doing properly. While I was waiting to have them fitted Zac came to see me to say that he wasn’t happy with the colour match. I went to have a look and he was right. He said they had some other material which wasn’t an exact match but was much closer. He said if I was prepared to wait they would make another set of pods at no extra cost to me. Vanshades went above and beyond to make sure I got the best possible colour match for my interior and I can honestly say this is the BEST customer service I have ever received. From start to finish they were amazing and I would highly recommend them.

Wonderful Customer ServiceIt’s only something goes wrong do we fully appreciate the efforts that some will go to to help. Our van Blind tension cord snapped while we were on holiday. We expected a wait time of weeks for a repair. However, on the off chance, we contacted Vanshades in Barnsley. We received an immediate reply and reassurance that it ‘could be sorted quickly at the workshop in Barnsley’. We were greeted by Ellie who could not have done more to help. If first impressions count, we immediately felt in good hands. A pleasant Technican , Jake, met us, introducing himself, assessed the job and within an hour had it sorted. The MD, Jack Staniforth, came and introduced himself and struck us as a dynamic young man with creative vision. Vanshades did a wonderful job, efficiently and at a very reasonable price.

Popped to Van shades to check out their windowpods and the loc8 table. Jack helped us to visualise how the table would look, provided tips on how to fit (which turned out to be really helpful) and gave us some replacement panel clips. Great service from a fab local family business. Very happy!

What can I say, cannot fault this company, every step of the way they were brilliant delivering a brilliant product that not only works well it transforms the look of the inside of the van, so much better than curtains, and ever so easy to fit, so glad we spent the money on Vanshades, they are well and truly worth every penny, cannot rate them high enough.

What a great experience I had with Vanshades. First things first, I had an issue and they repaired my pod instantly. Really impressed with their customer service. But that’s not all. I drove to their unit as I was desperate for a repair due to going away in my campervan. Upon arrival into the car park I met Ritch who asked how he could help me. He took me into the office and introduced me to Ellie who made me a proper cup of tea (well I was in Yorkshire after all). I can only thank Ritch and Ellie for their quick and friendly service. It makes such a nice change to deal with a great company for once. Even as I left, I bumped into some of the workforce who asked me if I was ok and was I happy with my repair. I will definitely use Vanshades in future and I highly recommend them. Thanks again Vanshades.

Picked up our blinds today with the help of Ellie. She went out of her way to help me get them for the bank holiday (not jumping the queue by the way). They look stunning out of the box and the quality is excellent - I’ll update when fitted, 😊Update: fitted the blinds, which were easy to fit once we watched the video. They look equally stunning in the van. Very happy.Thanks vanshades, especially Ellie. 👏

Having originally bought for the rear barn door windows and pleased with the result, we went on to order for side window and sliding door window. Unfortunately the sliding door had an after fit sliding window but Van shade obviously aware of the issue because they have added a version for just that situation. Fitted with just a couple of very minor tweaks with a stanley knife, and of course they now match the rear doors properly. Great product. Many thanks.

I took our new T6 camper to Vanshades for them to fit Window pods. I must admit that I was a little apprehensive handing it over but I needn’t have worried. Zac did a fantastic job and the blinds really enhance the look of the van. I have no hesitation in recommending this product and Vanshades to anyone considering window blinds.So many thanks to Eve for her communication and to the rest of the team for their excellent product.

Sometimes the best service just takes honest communication, persistence and patience. Vanshades stayed with me as we solved my missing transfer over a few months longer than was comfortable for us all. They were quick originally with pricing and product information, with shipping to the other side of the world, and gave me confidence I was dealing with a solid company.The product, LOC8 Table, arrived well packed and in perfect condition. I had it fitted in my VW van the same day and I’m really happy with the quality, form and function.It has been a pleasure dealing with Vanshades and I’m looking forward to buying from them again.And special thanks to Eve for her amazing help and excellent communication. She’s a star!

Thanks to Eve for looking after us. Thanks to Jack and team for installing the blinds. We had a slight issue with our rock in roll bed which wouldn't close with the blind installed, so VanShade resolved this for us 😊. Nothing was too much trouble - would buy again in future.

To Peter and his team at Vanshades, drove 228 miles to have them fitted today. Excellent quality, great attention to detail, staff couldn't do enough, made sure I was looked after and did an excellent job installing the shades. They are totally blackout, so no good if your scared of the dark lol.

Phoned up to ask for advice about replacement of cords in blinds. Was informed that they would be replaced for free and since I was passing vanshades a few days later, I called in and the cord was replaced promptly by a very friendly guy called Rich. Thank you for your excellent service.
