I ordered parts for my car from them, which didn't fit me. I returned them, paid for shipping, but they never gave me the money for the goods. No one answers emails, the worst company!!!!

Tool box, oxbox 3.

From the moment I emailed this company, to the item being delivered was exceptional. I would 110% recommend this company to others they should be very proud of the service they provide. Many thanks Dean.

Misleading stock levels

I was after a replacement roof rack that would be delivered quickly. Found one in stock and that would dispatched same day if ordered before 4pm and in stock according to the website. To which i did order on 7th March. I received a confirmation email informing me this was not in stock and would be dispatched 7 days later on the 13th March. It is now the 18th March and still no roof rack. Tried to call for a new delivery date but no answer. Sent and email to which I got a reply saying out of office today, will reply tomorrow.
I fell like i have been totally miss lead by the website saying it was in stock when it clearly was not. If an item is not in stock in your warehouse or you have correct manufacture stock levels don't put in stock on website as its misleading to customers. If i had of known the item was not in stock, would of ordered elsewhere
Very disappoint by their service and miss leading website

Fantastic service

Superb communication and service right throughout.

Very poor after service

Very poor after service.
After realising I had ordered a rack roller attachment with the wrong size brackets and roller width (something they admitted was easy to do) they advised me to cut the roller down and they would then sort out some shorter brackets for me.
After cutting the roller (which made the item unreturnable I was then asked for close to £50 for the brackets (the whole roller system only cost me £58)
Very disappointed. The Van guard system is really good it is a quality product but really felt let down by the service from Vanarack.
They started whining about how they were a small family business etc (we are ALL going through tough times at present.
Best to buy from the manufacturer Van Guard , they sorted the brackets out in no time at all and less than half the price.

Good morning David

A very different version of events, you were offered a return, you were also advised that you maybe able to modify the part at your own discretion. You decided to do so before finding the price of the brackets.

Were not whining, stating facts.

See below emails as a chain of events of how this come about.

Hi Jamie
I will have a go at cutting the bar down to get the right width.
If I can have two brackets that are 215mm this will work for my van. Here are some photos/ images for you as requested.
I got the plastic bung out of the bar but it did distort the hole a little. So I need a new bung and the two brackets. (I will cut the roller)
Happy to send the long brackets back if you let me have the address etc.

Many thanks for your help with this.
David


Good morning David

Thanks for coming back to us, the cost of these parts inc carriage is £38.00 + Vat

The price you paid for the while kit is £56.15 inc vat, which has a £30.95 discount from RRP.

I think unethical is a stretch, were a small family run business, going out of way to help people and we’d be making £3.05

Less our card handling fees.

I hope I do not come across as rude but companies like ours that want to help will be pushed out of business.

unsuitable roof bars

failed to ensure the product I ordered, on the advice of a representative of a company they claim to do a lot of business with, was suitable
basically told it was my fault for ordering the wrong thing then when I was passed over to her husband was told that I was probably installing it incorrectly.
I was told he would look into it an ring me back, he didn't. I have emailed, no response and when I ring nobody answers I just get told to leave a message

Good evening David, I feel your review to be unfair, Before you purchased you were given by email all the necessary info including fitting instructions for both a 2 bar & 3 bar set. This would clearly demonstrate how the roof bars fit on your van. You decided to purchase a 3 bar even after seeing the bar locations.
As far as not getting back to you that is also not true, i spoke on the phone at length with you, and i am also waiting for the technical team at Van Guard to see if they can offer bespoke brackets. This has been 3 days since our last communication, i have not forgotten you.
You will find we are a very helpful, professional and friendly family run business. Please reach out to us, we will help.
Kind Regards Jamie @ Vanarack

Mis- sized middle frame

Delivery time excellent. Middle section of the rack was slightly bigger on one side than the other making the installation pretty tricky as the holes between the 3 sections didn't quite line up meaning a lot of faffing about was needed to try and get it all somewhere near square to fix together. Unusual as this is my 5th Rhino rack amd they're so simple to fit normally you can do it with your eyes closed. Got it on and secured eventually but shouldn't have taken anywhere near that long had all parts been correctly sizes.

Hi David, Sorry to hear you have had an issue with your roof rack, is there a reason you have not reported this to us directly. you shouldn't have to fiddle about to install like you mention.

We would of happily had Rhino send replacement parts if they were manufactured incorrectly. It also help to report issues so they can be highlighted with the team @ Rhino.

Hope all is ok now though,

All the best Jamie @ Vanarack
