Sadly, due to the current financial climate, we've had no choice but to increase our prices as some of our material costs have risen by over 60% and our electricity costs have increased by over 100% and we're due for another price rise soon.
Thank you in advance for your patience and understanding, it will make things a lot easier for us all.

Made in both Left or Right hand drive Auto Velour is a high-quality, Belgium made, modern, needle punch car carpet that's around 5mm to 6mm thick and comes with a flexible but durable backing making it ideal for any everyday classic.
Your handmade to order carpet set will be hand created by my partner and I and our machinists here in Langham, Colchester, this allows you to choose from 6 Carpet and 16 Binding colours in any combination. (See "How to order" below)
Your set comes fitted with a Driver's Heel Pad as standard but you can also add the Passenger's side to, this does add to the overall price.
Depending on the car there may be Underlay and Sound Deadening (Felt) drop in sets (a must have item on any classic), Over Mats, Boot/Trunk sets etc...
Once fitted, your car's interior will look and smell like new again.
Sadly, creating car carpets this way is a dying art, no one is coming to replace the skilled staff, so buy your car the best carpet set out there today before another British industry disappears (Ok we expect to carry on for anther 20 years so there's hope).

This email is sent to you to gather your car and order the finer details, that only you know. Contrary to popular belief eBay has no clue as to what happened to your car in the past 40+ years, so please read through and answer all the RED questions, all others are optional, as these are the minimum, we need to pick the correct set of templates to cut your order out with.
Once I have all the answers I need, I'll send you your final "Order added to my cutting list" email and then we start cutting your order out.

Confirmation email... And Your lack of email Address
As soon as I see your order, I'll send you your confirmation email to an eBay registered email address. This is not your email address because eBay withheld it from us so eBay's A.I. controlled monitoring system can continue monitoring us for fee violations…
... And as always see "The Small Print" Tab.
If the eBay redirected (through their USA eBay) email actually gets to you in one piece and hasn't been edited or wiped clean or messed up by eBay's A.I. software, then please fill in all the answers requested including your own email address, as that way we can finalise your order in private without an auction company listening in and making decisions on what we can or cannot discuss.

Build time
Week One/Two
As its heavy work moving 130kg a roll of material, your order will be hand cut when your colour/material comes to our cutting table at our Langham, Colchester Factory as that’s the quickest way to get through them all. Once cut it will be transported on Friday to our machinists.
Week Two/Three
The machinists will assembly and add the binding, as they have done so for the past 30 years. I should be collecting the next Friday when I bring them the new sets to work on. Once back in Langham, it will be readied** for dispatch that coming week.
Week Three/Four
If not dispatched on weeks three/four due to work load, it will be readied** for dispatch on week four/five.
**This means de-threaded, de-fluff and de-flock, then final inspection and then packed, that takes 15 to 20 minutes per set, so very time-consuming and can take two days just to get through them all which means no cutting that day.
Week Four/Five
This is just in case… Hopefully we should complete quicker, but life likes and eBay likes throwing spanners around...

... And finally.
So that’s it, as long as you prepared to wait for us old school types to do what we know best then you’ll receive a beautiful set of carpets within 5 weeks of receiving you “Added to our cutting list email”.
My partner and I will do everything we can to get your beautiful handmade order out on time if not beforehand... And why wouldn’t we? We want you to be happy with our hand-crafted products and to look after you so you refer us on. Hence, we are asking you for your patience, understanding and trust.
Being of the pre-internet era, from the old school way of thinking and making things by hand, we were not born into this new text based world, and we've had to adapt, abet slowly, kicking and screaming too, so please give us time to respond.
We're a small two man family run company that’s sunk everything we have and more into building a factory during a pandemic so we can make your order quickly.
We look after all those that look after us… And by purchasing you have done just that, even if eBay earned more than we did from this sale.
We’ll be here for you every step of the way, till the fitting stage, to make sure your order goes smoothly and quickly.
… And if life (and probably eBay) throws a spanner in the works, then I hope we can work together to get past it quickly.
Like no other classic car carpet company, we’re here for you till gone midnight UK time, later if I know you’re calling as we are probably at the factory cutting and preparing carpets till gone 4am. If you need us for anything please call me (Josh) for a chat, (You can request my number from eBay) as that's always quicker than typing and waiting, especially for me as I’m Dyslexic.
Please remember, the countdown starts when your order is on my cutting list and not from the date of sale, so get your replies to your confirmation email back as soon as you can please and don’t leave any red questions unanswered (if there are any) as I will be back to get them. ;- }
Thanks for looking and hear from you soon.
Kind regards.
Josh

Our eBay approved ordering System.
eBay's software is not designed for handmade to order items like our hand-crafted carpet sets. Only the raw materials are in stock and we make your set upon ordering.
After many months of ironing out our ordering system, eBay gave us the green light and added an addendum (2017) to our eBay business account that allowed our times and quantities to override eBay’s own.
Therefore, when pressing the Buy it Now button You are agreeing to…
By purchasing you are agreeing to our delivery times and terms and ignoring eBay's displayed dispatch times. Please follow our lead and all will be well... We really do have your best interests at heart.
How to communicate safely whilst on eBay.
We’re old school and I’m Dyslexic so I (Josh) prefer to chat than to type. I was not born when typing was the norm, so bare with us. If you insist on using eBay's A.I controlled and monitored message service, then please only press the I Have a Question or Details About the Item buttons as you’ll get your reply or update on your order you want, without inflicting damage to our account. ( An eBay only problem, getting penalised for an update request.)
How NOT to communicate whilst on eBay.
I beg you not to press the "Where's my order" or any other buttons bar the ones above in eBay’s message service when asking for an update and on the Feedback Page "Did it arrive on time", as both are designed to destroy your sellers account and loss of Our Seller status ( to gain more fees for their shareholders, who don’t care that we get punished for a courier problem ). For me that’s the loss of my family’s home, for no fault of our own…
But this is shareholder eBay for you and they really don't care as long as their shareholders get their unearned fees …
If you have not provided us with your personal email then we cannot send your tracking number through eBay's message or redirected email services as eBay cannot be trusted to use them only for their intended.
eBay's redirected email service.
This is the latest goalpost moving and the worst part of eBay to date. eBay have removed your personal email address and replaced it with one of their own so that they can circumvent UK and EU privacy laws by redirecting it through their eBay USA email servers.
This causes huge problems for you and I as often eBay’s A.I. monitoring software fails to forward on my confirmation email to you or sends you a jumbled mess or wipes your reply clean and adds the word “null” instead. ( An eBay only problem .)
We work really hard for years to look after our clients my way, the old school and honest way and not the eBay way as that way just brings out the anger and frustration in people whilst trying to confirm their order via the ridiculous processes which can be is agonisingly slow sometimes.
So please, as soon as you have purchased ( and not before as we’ll both get penalised as eBay is always listening in ) forward on your personal email address so there won’t be any slowing down whilst eBay reads and decides what to do with our communications.
The tracking number.
This will be emailed to your personal email address (not eBay's redirected email address).
If you have not provided us with your personal email then we cannot send your tracking number through eBay's message or redirected email services as eBay cannot be trusted to use them only for their intended.
UK Shipping.
£17.99 is included in the eBay price you pay to cover a UK courier and eBay costs as eBay adds a fee to all shipping costs, we don't make money on shipping costs unlike eBay does.
International Shipping.
If you're not on the UK mainland, then you're international. Apart from Northern Ireland and some of the Isles off the coast of the UK, all other international shipping quotes are eBay’s, you’re paying eBay to use the eBay Global Shipping Program (eGSP).
eBay’s Global Shipping Program (eGSP)
Firstly eBay won't let us change or ship to any other address other than eBay's UK depot.
Once eBay states that they have received your order, from there on it's all down to eBay.
If it's late or lost or whatever, then it’s entirely eBay’s doing, not ours. PLEASE DO NOT OPEN AN eBay CASE AGAINST US IF IT'S NOT OUR FAULT you’ll badly affect our account if you do. (We'll get penalised for eBay's wrongdoing, and is yet another eBay only problem.)
In simple terms... We ship your order to eBay's UK depot and eBay UK ships to you. Simple...
You cannot change the delivery address… eBay won’t let you or I.
Once we have hand-crafted your order, we will dispatch it to eBay’s UK forwarding depot for eBay to process.
Our tracking number is to eBay’s UK depot only, not to your chosen delivery address.
Once eBay have signed for your order and logged you onto their systems, eBay will send you a new tracking number.
eBay will then send you and I updates as the second part of its journey begins. But eBay will take it’s time (up to a week sometimes) to in touch to let you and I know they have it, this is normal, so do not worry and just hang in there and eBay will come through.
Once we get that message, check your purchase section for an updated eBay tracking number… We do not get that tracking number.
Any problems with eBay shipping, please talk to me first, otherwise eBay A.I. Software will bludgeon its way in and ruin everything. (Another eBay only problem).
... And again, please do not click the "Where's my order" button as that open a case against us... Adds a black mark onto our account for no reason what so ever.. Our Pictures.
All pictures shown are examples of the quality of workmanship only. Please do not assume that what is pictured is what you will receive as it's impossible to photograph everything without incurring a massive expense which would have to be added your buying price. If you would like more pictures please send us a message..
... And if you cannot wait for us to hand craft this for you, then please do not purchase as all it will do is cost us time and lost eBay fees, the only winner will be eBay and it's greedy shareholders that are doing everything they can to make the eBay experience a difficult and stressful one, hence we're of the old school way...

eGSP works like this.

Don't buy those you'll regret it.
Please do not get our handmade to order bespoke carpet sets handcrafted in the UK confused with the cheaper sets you'll find on eBay from China, Eastern Europe and so on. There is no comparison between us and them. Our sets are handmade in Colchester UK from British and Belgium materials and will last and look great for years to come and not wear out in months.
All good things come to those that wait for bespoke handmade carpet sets. ;-}Related carpet sets and accessories for your car...
