Review summary

Created with AI, based on recent reviews

Evaluating 162 reviews, most reviewers were let down by their experience overall. Many customers reported significant delays in receiving their orders, often far exceeding the delivery times stated on the website, with some waiting months for their products. Reviewers also frequently experienced a lack of communication, with emails and requests for updates often being ignored or met with unfulfilled promises. The refund process was another major point of dissatisfaction, with many having to resort to their banks or PayPal to get their money back after long waits and no response from the company. While a small group of people felt the product quality was good and worth the wait, others received incorrect items, incomplete orders, or products with poor fit and undesirable branding. Some customers were satisfied with the quality and fit of the seat covers, noting they enhanced the interior appearance and were durable, with delivery as promised.

Dont waste your money

Should have read these reviews before spending my money. I placed an order 13th march 2026, over a month later no update from them. Only DHL, who have said there is a holdup on delivery and after speaking with them its due to DHL not receiving my items.
Three emails to Inka-corp and not one response.
Dont use.

Update.

Production Delays & Late Deliveries

Dear Customers,

We hope this message finds you well.

As you may already know, we have encountered numerous delays in our production process, leading to significantly late deliveries of customer orders and resulting in dissatisfaction among some of our customers.

We sincerely apologise for this situation and hope to regain your trust as a genuine company experiencing growing pains.

The majority of our products are handcrafted in the UK and are of exceptionally high quality. However, the unprecedented demand for our items has created a bottleneck in our UK production line, which we are currently addressing and working to resolve.

We also acknowledge the frustrations expressed by our customers regarding the lack of communication from our customer services team located overseas.

In response, we have now established a UK-based customer service team that is collaborating with our UK production and operations team to efficiently manage the backlog and expedite the shipping of outstanding orders whilst ensuring we respond to customers as swiftly as possible.

Please be rest assured that we are doing everything we can to respond to your enquiries by email and to dispatch your orders for delivery as quickly as possible.

We kindly ask for your patience during this time.

Please check all your inboxes, including your spam and junk folders, for our email communication.

If you are unable to wait any longer for your order, please inform us, and we will process a full refund for you, passing your cancelled order to the next customer in line.

Please email customer services, including your order number in the subject line, at:

retailorders@auto-kit.co.uk

We would like to take this opportunity to sincerely apologise for any shortcomings in our customer services and delivery lead times that have not met your expectations.

Please be assured that we are working diligently to ensure that our service and delivery times align with the quality of our products, which are indeed worth the wait.

We hope to restore your faith in us as a genuine company experiencing growing pains.


Best Wishes From The Inka Team.

Awful company and items

Awful company and items. The product took weeks to arrive after advising 3-5 days. When arrived the quality was really poor, items didn’t fit, whipped, straps fell off.
Refund has been requested and the company do not respond.
Stay well clear

SCAMMERS!

SCAMMERS!! SCAMMERS!!
Bought seat covers for £250. Was meant to take 3-5 working days. It has been over 6 weeks now. I’ve tried to get my money back for over 3 weeks. Simply ignored. Absolute SCAMMER of a company. Might aswell throw £250 in the bin. Absolutely jokers.

Scammers

Ordered some seat covers 6 weeks ago - no contact and no update - I have now sent a 7 day letter of intention to take them to court - still no response - going to small claims court now to get money back - worst company in the UK - do not buy anything off them or their parent company Auto-Kit International

Wish I would have seen these reviews…

Wish I would have seen these reviews before I parted with my hard-earned cash.

Same story as many recent reviews. Ordered a set if covers for my new T7. Paid £99. Nothing arrived. Sent a few emails and was reassured they were in production. 5 weeks later...nothing.

DO NOT TRUST THIS COMPANY

I raised a dispute with my bank and the bank refunded me.

Production Delays & Late Deliveries

Dear Customers,

Hope you are well.

As you may already be aware we have had many delays in our production which has resulted in some extremely late deliveries of customer orders and some very unhappy customers.

For this we sincerely apologise and we hope we can restore your faith in us as a genuine company with growing pains.

The majority of our goods are hand made in the UK and of extremely high quality, the unprecedented demand for our products has caused a bottle neck situation in our UK production line which we are now working through and catching up.

We are aware of current customer frustrations centred around communication with our customer services team which we are also now resolving.

As of Monday 13th of April 2026 we are moving the customer services team back to the UK in line with our main production activities in order to improve the delivery timelines and the communication.

Please be rest assured we are working as hard as we can to get your order out for delivery & as quickly as possible so please bear with us.

If you cannot wait any longer for your order please let us know & we will process a full refund for you and pass on your cancelled order in the pipeline down to the next customer in the queue.

Please email customer services quoting your order number in the subject line at:

retailorders@auto-kit.co.uk

In terms of communication we aim to respond to all customers within 48 hours by email, please check all your inboxes including your spam & junk folders for our response.

We would like to take this opportunity to sincerely apologise where our customer services and delivery lead times have not met your expectations but please take note that we are working very hard to ensure the service and delivery times match the quality of our products, which are worth the wait.

We hope we can restore your faith in us as a genuine company with growing pains.

Best Wishes From The Inka Team.

Do not waste your time. The price is very attractive do not be fooled

EDIT 13.04.26 - another 2 emails sent and still no refund.

EDIT 11.04.26 - I have now sent 5 emails over 4 days and still no refund.

I tried to buy a set of front seat covers from inka in June 2025 but needed them urgently and when they emailed not in stock I waited a week and then asked to be refunded.

This year I checked again and said " in stock delivery in 3 to 5 days." So decided to buy again........

Yup...... again contacted for update, reply in production stage....not in stock then. Advised a couple of days. 1 week later and no reply.

I wouldn't mind if they stated from order to dispatch was 4 weeks of it was 4 weeks. What I hate is missed expectation by their own actions...

Just say coming from china and send me some tracking. By far one of the most consistently bad customer service levels of any company I have had dealings with.

Requested refund. No reply so raised dispute with credit card company.

Whats the saying fool me once .........

Edit after reply 10.04.26. Bringing customer services back to the UK is a great step. For those with your products they sing their praises as high quality.

Shame they also all say the same regarding customer services. Managing customer experience and expectations is whats let me down.

As per my 2 separate emails I would like a refund.

Absolute disgrace of a company

Absolute disgrace of a company. I made an order over 4 weeks ago and no delivery, yet web site stats within 3-5 days. Have asked for a full refund, yet just get completely ignored and excuses for the delay. Please avoid this company at all costs!!!

Shocking company

Shocking company, no phone, no email replies. Thankfully my bank refunded me, but if not I would have been £100 out of pocket for some none existent seat covers. If you read this and still order from these people I have no sympathy

Nothing arrived

Placed an order though nothing arrived, chased after a week to be told high demand and production is running behind. Left it for another week, contacted them again only to get the same response. Got a full refund through my credit card company. Total waste of my time
