    **BEWARE OF KNOCK OFFS ON EBAY**

    I sell these on ebay as well for a slightly higher price. Recently someone made me aware there are Knock Offs of my sunshade being sold on ebay.

    You can see they use inferior materials. See the attached pic. Our sunshade's frame is much more sturdy and it won't bend like the knock off leaving your dash exposed.
    See the pictures on the thread of mine and you'll see they are all very straight.
    You can also see on the knock off they are using what seems to be a Square T-Shirt silk screen to apply the imprint. So not sure how long that imprint will last.

    They even copied our description of my ebay listing and are selling for the exact same price..


    Our Sunshade are Patented and I have someone working to get these people to stop

    I bought this from this guy on ebay. I was just made aware that these were knockoffs. I didn’t know at that time. Same price too. So beware . Doesn’t for right too. Screenshot_20210816-083120_Chrome.jpg

    Yes, thats them! I'm sure you can return it. Trust me when you hold and use ours you'll see the difference. There pivot section is not reinforced, the wire frame is thin and bends easy. I doubt that knock off will last years like ours do.

    Ordered last week, got shipping confirmation a day later (on the 14th) and it has no updates so far. Just curious if you were able to get it out. Thanks!

    I usually ship all order same day or next day. Your order came in at 6:10pm so it went out the next day.
    I don't know why but, USPS is showing a delay in delivering your order but, it is in route. It shows expected delivery of the 23rd.

    I am using a 2-4 day shipping method but, usps has said there are some delays with some areas. Although I've seen its been rare at least with what I'm shipping

    Got mine today, thank you very much @Level7Taco! It's a really clever design and fits perfectly.

    BTW I am the one whose order said "Surprise me" regarding plain or printed. :) The surprise was - backing is green!? And I appreciate you including the pouch!

    We tested the Green backing with the Black and it tested the same. So we decided to "go Green" and add a little color :D
    Its the Satin Silver coating the does all the heavy lifting of blocking the UV's

    Just got mine today. Quality is excellent. Second to none. Feels very sturdy. Material is thick unlike the very flimsy fake from eBay. quality wise isn’t even close. Glad I got this.

    Glad you got the authentic one from us. Those Guys are really selling an inferior product on top of it being a knock off of ours. I spoke to Ebay and provided them with our patents, they said they would move it uptake change of commands and get the listings removed and banned.

    Enjoy the Shade! I'd still say you should return that other fake or your wife might put you on the couch if she see's/feels the difference of your sunshade :argue::rofl:

    I bought it end of June so its past the return time. The fake doesn't compare to the OG. Its not even on the same level. Super happy I got this and it blocks the heat a lot better
