Vanimal Recenzje 

Wife bought some wind deflectors for my van. When open wasn’t the ones I wanted, ask for returns procedure! Waited ages for reply. Got the returns details, returned them. Chased and chased for credit, then told me ‘I was out of their returns time. “Whaaatt” and by one day!!. Petty, won’t use again. Poor after sales…

Bought the Vanimal predator roof rack for my Ford transit custom van. Nearly 6 months later it’s still not sorted. Just in the process of stripping it down to replace most of the bolts which are now badly rusted. Bought replacements myself (another £50) because I gave up with the company. Tried to get my money back but every hurdle goes up. Put it in writing blah blah. Zero sense of customer service, you just wait and wait and there’s always an excuse. I’ve already taken a day out to drive to Yorkshire because the thing was so hard to fit. I just wouldn’t recommend.

Great racking and first class service from James. Will 100% buy again. Thank you.

Purchased racking for my vauxhall vivaro

Very good fit had a small issue and the team reached out to me and rectified it straight away mistakes happen in business its how you deal with them that matters 👍

Brought a bonnet protector for my VW Crafter and did not fit, fitting instructions were very poor! Arranged to have a refund, filled in the form and sent item back as per customer services at cost of over £50 and have not received anything back, being told I can not have my money back and they have kept the product and probably re sold it! Would not recommend these people very poor !

I ordered a storage system for my vw transporterwouldn't help. They said I should have referenced the measurements in the advert but these are overall measurements so don't indicate shelf heights. I'm left with no option but to remake the end panels myself or accept my tools don't fit. So in conclusion I'd advise you buy elsewhere unless you don't care how big the shelves or compartments are.

I recently bought this van racking, and it was impossible to build as it came. The plywood slots didn’t line up properly, and I had to manually cut and adjust pieces just to make it fit together. It ended up taking me hours to get it right.

There were also no instructions included, and the YouTube video made the assembly look a lot easier than what I actually received.

That said, after all the extra effort, the final product isn’t too bad,it does what you’d expect once it’s finally built. But be prepared for a frustrating build process if you’re considering buying this.

I haven’t bothered to contact the company, because from other reviews I’ve read, they just blame the user anyway and offer zero support.

The ply they use is the cheapest they can lay there hands on all the black layer just flakes off when getting tools in and out some was already like it out the box.No instructions which they say is included. There is much better out there and cheaper

Much appreciated, excellent shelving and very straightforward to assemble.

I ordered racking for my Peugeot Boxer and fitting it was a breeze thank to the clear, straightforward instructions.

Wooden racking contained no instructions in the box and the online instructions were pretty useless. It’d be great seeing as they have produced them on a cnc machine if they could pilot where the screw holes need to go as simply gluing and pushing together wont work and if your gonna need screws maybe they could with their very expensive machine pre drill them.
Completed the installation and looks good but just annoyed that I had to pre drill and screw about a 100 screws which would have taken a lot less time with their machine.

I ordered my MAN TGE racking and it was delivered the next day. Very easy to assemble and fit into the van. really happy with the finished result.

Excellent racking, the adjustable shelves system is a must and were very helpful.

I had a ply racking system in my old Custom van and ordered the same for my new one but this time in hexaboard which looks even better.

Ordered a bulkhead and double rear. It's a perfect setup for what I need and keeps the van organised and tidy, which makes a change. The bulkhead is usually an area that just gets wasted but this rack is especially useful. Instructional video was clear and didn't take long to build and fit in.

Good quality racking was easy to put together. Fits well and plenty of space for all my tools.

Vanimal ( owned by parent company of 4x4 Accessories and Tyres ltd) should be avoided at all costs. I was sold a set of wheels that were quote "designed to fit all Transporter and Caravelle models from 2003 – 2022 inclusive".

The wheels supplied are actually designed for a Land Rover Discovery as the centre bore and mounting plate does not align with the hub on a VW T5 (72mm rather 65mm). They could potentially be fitted but spacers or a fitting kit to covert would be required to be purchased in order to fit the wheels safely. Vanimal advised me rather ambiguously to centre the wheels ('standard practice in it'!), which means the van would be supported by 5 bolts with 5mm gap to the hub and a 7mm gap in centre bore! The opinion given to me by my wheel fitter a mechanic, and 2 specialist companies, and a forum was that this is not a safe configuration. No supplementary parts or kits were supplied or even offered to overcome this issue. They simply washed their hands of me once the sale had been made. At the very best these wheels can be bodged to fit, to say they were designed for a T5 is a complete falsehood and demonstrates a mix of arrogance incompetence and dishonesty.

Due to my own misjudgment I told the independent wheel fitters to go ahead prior to learning all this information about wheel fitting, as I assumed spacers would be cheap and could be fitted afterwards. Unfortunately there was no solution to have these wheels fitting flush to the hub without spending £150 on spacers and increasing the track width which I did not want to do.

Having driven home I just bought some more wheels (identical in design from but from another company), and had them fitted a couple of days later. No suprise the wheel bore aligned perfectly this time - no need for vanimal centered bodge job after all.

Vanimal ignored my emails as the manager was on holiday for a few days before finally confirming a refund will not be given due the wheels having been fitted. This would be an acceptable reason had I changed my mind, however this all came about from misinformation at the point of sale.

I can assure you whatever they publish here the wheels were not designed for my van and they did the absolute minimum to help when I contacted them.

Lots of time, tyre fitting and now an eBay listing. About £350 down so far.

Thanks again Vanimal.

Ordered internal racking for my Traffic van. Happy with them super easy to put together, is well made and feels really sturdy thanks.

Both front and rear racks were excellent quality and very easy to assemble. They arrived quickly and well packaged. The only thing that could make them better would be to include a few extra wood screws in the fitting kits to build them with.

Excellent range of van accessories with professional fitting service that saved me hours of work. The roof rack system I ordered was perfect quality and the installation team knew exactly what they were doing.
