“After receiving the shades I noticed that two of the clips were missing, not a great start. I have sent you 3 emails over a week ago and still had no reply. I’ve tried to call and on both occasions I was on hold for over 25 minutes, but I was apparently number one in the queue the whole time, but no one answered so had to hang up. Very frustrating when I’m calling from Ireland, which costs me to call. Customer service is none existent. Plus the clips I have, I tried putting on the shades and they only go on if you bend the clip. All in all not a great experience or product. I wouldn’t use car shades again.”

“My order was canceled with no notification or explanation.”

Hi Casey We are sorry you haven't had a good experience with us, however after looking into this we can see that the order was cancelled because the wrong country was entered during the checkout process, and because England was selected instead of USA, that meant the shipping and tax chargers were both wrong for your order. You should have had an email from us notifying you about this, therefore we apologise if this didn't land. If you would like to place another other, once the USA is selected on the checkout page as the shipping country that will automatically calculate both the delivery cost and the tax charge. We are sorry for any inconvenience this may have caused. Thank you Car Shades

“I ordered the car shades and they arrived relatively fast. However I just could not get use.to the visibility especially out of the rear window. I have sent 2 emails and have never received a reply to any of them. I have followed the returns policy and sent the shades back and have the confirmation of delivery as well as photo. This was also followed by an email explaining why (which they asked in the returns policy) which again was not replied to. I have tried calling numerous times and it just rings out and puts you first in the queue for 30 min. I have not received my refund or even confirmation I will. And after reading these reviews it seems people are experiencing the same. A good product (just not for me) let down by poor customer service”

“I didn't like the product when I received it (details below). I returned it, but haven't had a refund and have experienced Terrible Customer Service. I ordered a set of carshades, but found the installation very fiddly with all of the little clips that could easily get lost if you wanted to remove the shades e.g. for rear windscreen visibility at night time. I also felt that the small metal clips could scratch the car if not installed perfectly each time. So I returned them the following week under the 30 day moneyback guarantee. I posted them recorded delivery and have confirmation from Royal Mail that they were received on Friday 02 June 2023 It has now been over 30 days, still no refund and Carshades has ignored my emails and the phoneline is always busy. This is the message I received when I originally asked about returning the product. "Hi you are welcome to return your order to us under your 30 day money back guarantee. Unfortunately we do not supply pre-paid postage labels or refund any return postage costs. Many Thanks, Stephen Stockwell. Sales & Customer Service Car Shades - Unit 1, Bilsthorpe Business Park, Bilsthorpe, Nottinghamshire, NG22 8ST UK"”

“Ordered shades for back side windows of my Honda HRV 2021 advertised as suitable for reg 2015 - 2021. Did not fit and had to return at my own cost. I then had to chase my refund after 2/3 weeks. Advertising and after care very poor.”

Hi Susan - we are sorry you haven't had a good experience with us on this occasion, 2021 was a crossover year for the model therefore it is possible you may have the newer model rather than the 2015 to 2021 model. We are sorry for the inconvenience this may have caused. Car Shades

Hi Tez We are sorry to hear you are having issues with your Car Shades and that you haven't had the customer service we expect. Please could you send us any images you have of the Car Shades in position and a close-up of the clips so we can review the issues you are facing and advise how we can help. Please send the images to reviews@carshades.co.uk Thanks Car Shades

“They do not split the sets so in case you want another part B and/or C for the rear window you don’t have this possibility, or if a part it’s broken or something else you still need to buy the whole set, AGAIN. And it’s not cheap. Nice job, Carshades.”

Hi Madalin - because of how we manufacture Car Shades i.e. in either Full Sets for all rear windows or Passenger Door Sets only, we don't have the other options available to buy just the load area or tailgate Car Shades on their own. This is something we are reviewing but at the moment we don't have a timeframe as to when this might change. Sorry we couldn't be of more assistance on this occasion. Thank you Car Shades

“We bought shades for a 2021 Kia Sportage, and they simply are the wrong size and shape. Nobody answered the phone, and so far after 2 days nobody has responded to my emails”

Update 2 - Hi Richard We suspect that you may have the previous generation of the Kia Sportage and your order was for the newest generation as 2021 was a crossover year for the car. Could you therefore confirm what model of Kia Sportage you have. Thank you Car Shades

“Still haven’t received my car shades, an error with the courier perhaps, but having spoken to someone earlier (after being on hold for 25 mins) who said it would be rectified with me receiving an email, it still hasn’t and I am now sitting on hold again, so far 47 mins and I’ve gone from caller number 9 to caller number 5! I’ve since read the reviews and it appears customer service is TERRIBLE with this company.”

“Very disappointed after what seemed to be such a positive start. Package shipped out quickly but an error with delivery address caused a problem that could have easily been avoided. I was assured the problem was rectified but a distinct Lack of communication and clarity from both seller and courier meant I never received the package so it’s unfair to comment on the contents. Refund was issued after 3 weeks and raising an issue via PayPal.”

“The shades are good quality. But if there was a zero star option I would have chose that for customer service. One of the clips that secures the shade in has fallen off due to the recent heat unsticking the pad. I have tried to call on 4 seperate occassions wiht no luck. I emailed and was told to call. Awful service. Currenlty on the phone in queue, 46 minutes and 34 seconds of being first in queue (and counting).”
