I just wanted to share my exceptionally excellent experience in working with Vanshades, a truly customer-focused company.From visiting their stall at the NEC Caravan, Camping & Motorhome Show in February, right the way through to collecting my custom splashback (based on a photo I took whilst holidaying in New Zealand), and including all the steps in between, I can honestly say I have not worked with a better company.Their products, help, guidance and support, speed of respond and the accommodation of specific custom-type requests were first class.Thank you Vanshades!

Well where do I start, from a quick email to Eve with a query, to a few days later having a drive down, meeting Richard, Zak & Jake, who looked at van, and decided blinds could be fitted, and as I'd travelled quite a distance, set too and fitted them for me, and then I proceeded to order the pods for the other windows, from Louise, what a transformation they make, from crappy black curtains, to stylish and easy to use blinds, i would definitely recommend Vanshades to anyone with a camper. Then we met Jack, before we left who was helpful in explaining things to me, and sorted me out with a little cosmetic issue i had with my van. It was a pleasure to go there and meet everyone, so extremely friendly and very very helpful from my very first email, thank you 🙌

Great Company to deal with, Great product and super helpfull. What more could you ask for. Have got VanShades in my T6.1 and they are simply brilliant. They are very effective and dont intrude on the inside of that van, and when they are closed they stay closed unlike curtains which can get caught and opened accidentally. Highly Recommended.

Excellent service from a first class company, took my time and fitted them myself, really looks the part and they are very practical as well, cutting out the light completely, had an issue with one blind ( self inflicted), contacted Vanshades who repaired the shade quickly and efficiently all within one week, would definitely recommend Vanshades to anyone thinking of fitting Shades to their vans.

Had our van shades delivered recently, very well packed, complete with all the screws required.Have only fixed one in our van and it went in perfectly. If the others go as well as the first, everything should be great.Very happy with the product, excellent advise from Van Shades, would certainly recommend to everyone who wants to put Van Shades in their Vans.

I called into Vanshades as I was passing, and was really impressed with the staff there,it's refreshing to come across staff with enthusiasm and knowledge of their products.As for the shades, I can't fault them, all fit,easy to fit,just look at the on line tutorialThe bottom line is they look great, and work well

Delighted with our blinds for our Ford Transit Custom Devon Firefly. I’ve had a busy few days recovering and adding more insulation to the door panels to match. Hubby was impressed with the fitting of them, well worth the 5 week wait

John Siddle

Absolutely outstanding after service from Van Shades, had a string broken on a blind, popped over to see them and got it all fixed in 15 minutes, good old fashioned customer service and even got a cup of coffee (nice) while I waited. Louise was charming and Zac did a great job. Keep up the good work with your outstanding products. I’d give more stars if I could.

On the plus side the window pods look good when carpeted and seem to work well so far, on the minus side, my pods took 6 weeks to arrive ( not sure if this because I made a slight change to my order ) the carpeting video online only shows how to carpet the simple pod, It would be better if the video covered the pods with cut outs such as the sliding door as this is more tricky to carpet, also the location for screws to retain the barn door pods is not clear ( it is quite important to get these in the correct position ) and finally I didn't receive screws to fit my barn door pods when they are shown as included, not sure whySo if you purchase these pods remember to allow plenty of time for your order to arrive!

Viam Mercer

Fantastic product, fitted them all in about an hour which included removing the old curtains and cleaning up. I highly recommend that anyone building a van or who is looking for shades check these out.

From first contact to order completion, Vanshades have been a pleasure to deal with. Quick response times from emails and they actually called me back when they said they would. Makes a refreshing change from other, not so 'customer focused' companies. I'll definitely be returning to purchase a WindowPod A. Thank you Vanshades!

I am new to VW Transporter's so finding my way!The website is clear , the assistance by telephone also helpful . I wanted Vanshades to fit my shade and chair pod and they did that with no problem too. Game set and match business for me!👏

Very impressive product! Well designed and produced. Fitted a set of these into my Ford transit custom today - barn doors and then a duo blind behind the driver and a duo blind behind the passenger on the sliding door. Easy enough to fit if you take your time. I’ve seen videos saying 90 seconds per blind but in reality you take longer. They look great, are ergonomic and really block out the light well. Took 5 weeks to arrive but the website does advise of lead times when ordering. Well worth the wait.

Ordered a set of J & K Duo silver Carpeted Blinds for our new VW T6, waited patiently for about 5 weeks for them to be delivered which was fine as I am prepared to wait for something decent.When they did arrive I was really impressed with them until I started to fit them....On opening the boxes I noticed there was a long piece of L shaped plastic on one of the flyscreen's that was loose, that only lasted two long weekends in the van before it fell off ! I managed to repair by dismantling the whole thing and re fitting 3 small screws that had been very roughly thrown in position by whoever assembled it at the factory.The shades fit OK but their not as seamless as you would think, the build quality of my set was pretty poor, the carpet on the external edges was not folded over onto the back as it shows on their "How to carpet a Vanshade" video, which means there was an ugly black plastic 3mm visible border around the perimeter which looks terrible against the other carpeted panels. again this was something I spent a day rectifying, while I was at it I also relived the handle cut out for the sliding door which was just too tight and was binding with the handle trim.Gripes aside the do work really well and look great when carpeted properly, but when you are paying nearly £600 for a "finished product" you don't really expect to spend a day and a half sorting out issues that could have been sorted with 5 mins of care & attention at the factory.Would I buy them again ? Probably because their a great design and work really well, but sadly for me anyway, let down by poor workmanship.Knowing what I know now I would just order the Naked Duo Vanshades and do the carpeting and QC myself.

Start to finish the team at Vanshades have been excellent. The quality of the product is second to none. I know there are some cheaper alternatives out there but, there's a reason they're cheaper. As the saying goes "you get what you pay for". Really are top quality blinds made easy to fit.The customer service is some of the best I've experienced in my life from regular emails to updates etc. Couldn't have asked for better.I would like to particularly thank Eve who went above and beyond to answer all my queries and sort me out with fantastic looking blinds.

The window pods these guys do are top notch and look awesome once installed. I have to also big up the customer service as they were extremely helpful and polite. I messed up on the installation of one of the pods and ended up breaking it… The asked me to send it back and they would repair for free… How good is that !!

Jamie Mitchell

16:21 24 Jun 24

Fantastic product. Just what I was looking for. Great website where you can see exactly what you are installing.

Purchased a set of window pods for my T5.1 and had to have the order sent to France, instead of my original address in the UK. Received excellent customer service throughout, thank you Eve! The Window shades themselves are fantastic, everything I wanted them to be, great product!

Paul Paintin

I cannot recommend these guys highly enough. The products are incredible, the WindowPods have transformed our VW T5, and I can finally bin off the sucker based thermal mats I've spent years sticking and unsticking to the windows...After a perfectly avoidable self induced issue whilst fitting one of them, I was invited to their HQ in Barnsley, where Rich, Jack and the team really looked after me, fixing the problem I'd caused myself, and going above and beyond in terms of customer care, even diagnosing a completely unrelated head scratcher of an issue, and pointing me in the right direction to get that sorted.If you're even remotely considering a purchase, stop dithering and get it done, you won't regret it.

I ordered the tailgate window pod for my T6, and although the delivery took a while, the wait was absolutely worth it. The craftsmanship is exceptional, with meticulous attention to detail even on the parts that are not visible. The quality is outstanding, making it well worth the cost.The customer service was also fantastic. When I reached out to inquire about the delivery timeline, they responded promptly with a personal and kind email. It’s evident that this product is made to order, and I would gladly wait again for such high-quality workmanship.One very happy customer here!

I collected a Loc8 sliding door table for my T6 today from VanShades. Excellent customer service, from Eve on the phone to a manager who clarified fitting advice and answered queries. And the Loc8 table itself? Very good, much better than the table fitted by our converters and in some ways better than the table fitted in the California we used to own. Very pleased. I might write another review specifically of the table after we have used it on a proper trip

Great Product, Great Service, Great People. Having bought a set of Pods for our new van conversion, In my mind, there is nothing on the market that can compete with the Vanshades Product and Service.

Vanshades the guys there are super helpful if you got any problems they get it sorted and keep you informed as for the vanshades for my vw t6 they were fantastic and straightforward to fit make a big difference to any van highly recommend 👍

I have had a great customer experience with Vanshades. Their products are of a very high quality and a lot of thought and care has gone into their design and final products. When I contacted them to inquire about products and fixings their staff couldn’t have been more helpful. I would totally recommend this company and their products.

Daniel Yates

12:53 23 Apr 24

Firstly, the product, I have the pod and blind system fitted to my VW transporter T5-they are brilliant, smooth operation, look fantastic, as if they were fitted at the factory.They are especially important to me, as I use them in the summer to keep the interior of the van cool for my dog.Now for the best bit; customer service, second to none, if something goes wrong with a product, and I must stress, this was not through poor quality, the measure of a good company is how they resolve that matter.Van shades are amazing, item posted back to them, and returned as good as new in 3working days-exceptional customer service, great communications from Eve, and a very happy customer. Don’t entertain any other inferior products, buy Van shades!

Mum Thompson

17:25 21 Apr 24

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).

Top Class customer service from Vanshades! The product is as good as it gets! Quality and finish along with attention to detail makes Vanshades worth every penny.

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.
