“Ordered a right-side electric heated mirror for a LHD VW T4. On the good side, the product shipped from the UK to the west coast of the US in just a few days and DHL (shipper) had great tracking information available. Price was excellent at $80 USD total out the door for a product that is normally $200 at a VW dealer here. It is an aftermarket imitation though and you get what you pay for. It is correctly convex for distance reflection, but around the edges of the glass there is very noticeable distortion, almost to the level of distraction. The mechanism has a lot of play in it and so the mirror glass jiggles quite a bit at speed, also distracting. If you are in the US, it does not have the silly US-required "Objects in mirror are closer than they appear" text although I didn't expect it to have it either since it's a rest-of-world mirror. The rivet that holds the red locking tab was also protruding a bit, getting in the way of the mirror seating properly when unfolded so we had to squish it down a little to clear the plastic. All in all it's fine and it will get you by, but the product definitely reflects its low price. If there is a higher quality version from another manufacturer that can be had, even if a little pricier, it might be worth stocking that one instead.”

“Fast delivery. Only 2 parts are sold on your website as Original VW but I get the brand JP delivered which is the biggest shit on the market. Looking at the boxes of these 2 parts it looks like they have made a lot of trips back and forth.”

“Hi I purchase off this site regularly and will probably continue to do so. However I have always had an issue with your pricing on the website. If you are going to offer a 10% discount, eg for July, then it should be off everything. Items which have a 5% discount do not appear to receive the additional 5%. Just my observation.”

“It would be good if you total your customer when they go to my going to be dispatched as ordered my God last Friday and it's Tuesday today and still no notification of when my kids are going to be dispatched. Poor communication on your part !”

Thanks for your review. It looks like your order was placed at approx. 7.00pm on a Friday evening. This order wouldn't have been processed until we returned to work on the Monday when it was despatched. The Free Carriage option that you opted for is a 2-3 day service meaning it would arrive mid-week. We do have a Guaranteed Next Working Day Service which is currently £6.00 which would arrive by the next working day, if the goods were needed rapidly. Hope that helps.

“Good service. Just wish there were more parts available especially when doing a full restoration project.”

“Freight costs from VW Heritage were over 33% of the goods I purchased. One item I wanted was out of stock so I had to purchase that from another supplier and pay another $14 freight on a $20 part.”

Thanks for the review. We try and stay as competitive as possible with shipping consignments from the United Kingdom to Australia. It is a vast distance, but typically only takes approx. 5 days to arrive!! We do have approx. 18,000 product lines and can sometimes be out of stock of items.

“I'm Michele from Italy, I have already bought from this site and I have to say that you have competitive prices and I have nothing to complain about. You have recently changed the interface with different nationalities: England, Spain, Germany, and so on; The problem is that Italy and other EU states are missing. I do not ask you to create one in Italian, but it would be best to have an EU profile with currency in € and English, to identify yourself better on the site and see if you are eligible for free or no shipping costs, over 100 euros or other promotions Thanks, I hope that the request will be heard. Best regards”

“Ok so ordered a pair of J tubes and a new master cylinder. When I get my package tge J tubes tinware brakcets are bent and twisted around the tubes and the ends that fit into the header were bent and distorted not very happy but straightened them and fitted because we wanted to run the engine. I think if the box was better padded there would have been no problem.”

Sorry if you've had a bad experience? Obviously I'm not sure what the situation was when you called, the website has now been changed and navigation is much better than it was on the old site.

“The website is very comprehensive and I found the two items I needed very easily. However it said that orders placed before 3pm had next day delivery. When I placed my order at 2.55, there was no option for next day delivery and my items are now not due to arrive until Monday, 4 days after I ordered them.”

“They haven't yet. Not until I actually receive the goods I ordered. However, what astounds me is that VW Heritage does not appear to provide any crankcase thermostats that connect to the cooling flaps on Aircooled 2.0 litre Type 4 engines. These are an essential item required for the correct running of these engines. I couldn't find them on the website. If you do actually sell them please let me know as I'm awaiting these items from USA.”

“They didn't , it clearly stated that "large panels" where free to my location in delivery section. The small print did state that this could be changed dependant on part . I thought I'd thiugth be ok buying a mk1 lower door repair panel it's not that large is it? . Guess what £8.50 delivery ( my total order was over £35 for claimed "free delivery" ). VW heritage do stock a lot of good stuff but in all my dealings with them I feel they are out to screw me over in some way, luring me in with broken promises of free delivery . It has got to the stage where I shop around others and would even use Werk in Germany, autohaus in Us because their flat rate delivery (to UK) is actually cheaper than heritage . I also go direct to vw for my classic parts.”

Thanks for taking the time to review us. It looks like you placed your order on the Bank Holiday Monday just after Easter when we were closed. I can see your order was processed on the Tuesday when we returned to work. The FOC carriage option you had chosen is a 2-3 day service, so your order should arrive on Friday. We do also offer a next working day service if items are needed quickly in future.
