Amazing quality blinds for my Mk-2 transit custom.Contacted Ellie in customer services to check if the blinds would fit over my tilt & slide windows, the sliding door req an additional spacer which was added on at no additional cost.The blinds were made and delivered as per there stated time frame and were very straight forward to fit.Cannot fault the quality and excellent customer service.

We live fairly close so visited to order our blinds...the team there are fantastic..so helpful. We hit a minor snag whilst carpeting our blinds but again the team were great at resolving this for us.We also bought a door storage pod too.Absolutely first class customer service and everyone is really friendly. Can't fault them. Our van conversion isn't finished but we installed the blinds today..they look great, can't wait to test them out.

Exceptional service and a truly exceptional product. From start to finish this is one of the best experiences we have ever had when dealing with a company. We had blinds fitted to our already converted VW and are so pleased with the results, the team managed to come up with a solution to fit the blinds behind the built in units and they look amazing. A lovely friendly bunch of people who take pride in their product, we would most definitely recommend the company and product to anyone thinking of having blinds fitted to their van.Thanks Vanshades teamDavid and Anna Chipper

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.

We recieved our order last week and my fella fitted them easily in less than an hour at the weekend. We are over the moon with the product and finish. These blinds are high quality and fit perfectly into our two side windows. We were missing one screw cap, but a quick email to the team and they are sending us some straight out. If you are thinking about purchasing these blinds, do not hesitate, you won't be disappointed.Good communication, good value for money, fab product. Highly recomment. Thank you 🙂

Probably one of the best products ive added to my conversion. The window pods fit my van perfectly and the blackout bind and bug net function so well. I've had them in the van a while now and wanted to leave some time before reviewing so I could fully test them. The pod provides an all in one module that houses the blind system in its own recess/pod so they are neatly contained and finish the van a treat! I have to say they are well worth the money and for my next and larger conversion I'll be making sure the windows I put in allow Vanshades products.I spoke to the owner on the phone before buying who was really helpful and then when fitting I talked to an engineer who emailed me videos to show me how to carpet them properly (you can opt for a carpeting service when purchasing but I wanted to have a go). If you're thinking of buying, just go for it, you won't be disappointed! Big up the Vanshades people and their products 👍🏼🙂
