Return policy
1. Custom-Made Mats Policy
All mats including Standard Floor Mats, Double Layer Mats, and Boot Mats are custom-made / bespoke / made-to-order specifically for your vehicle based on the details you provide.
Due to the bespoke nature of our mats, custom-made items are exempt from the standard right to cancel under UK Consumer Contracts Regulations.
By placing an order, you confirm that the mats are tailored exclusively to your vehicle’s specifications.
Refunds are not offered unless there is a proven manufacturing fault or a confirmed fitment issue based on the vehicle details provided by the customer.
All issues must be reported within 14 days of delivery. After this period, no replacement or refund will be offered.
