Why it's important to select the correct vehicle and tyre size
Vehicle
There are a surprising number of vehicles that cannot use traditional snowchains, the types that put chain on the inside of the wheel as well as on the tread. This is usually because there is not enough space between the wheels and the shock absorbers; this can be a problem for ordinary SUVs and 4x4s as well as for high performance cars.
You will find this important information in your car handbook - please check this before using your snowchains! Our database is intended to do the basic work for you but, with so many new vehicles and tyre sizes, it should only ever be treated as a guide.
Tyre size
Please also check your tyre size - if you buy incorrectly-sized chains they will be either too tight or too loose.
Ladder track chains
The good news is that car handbooks usually only refer to "traditional snowchains". Ladder track chains such as the Polaire GRIP and Spikes-Spider range only put chain over the tyre tread, so are not subject to these restrictions. They are also ideal for use on rear wheel drives where there is minimal space between the top of the wheel and the wheel arch.

The Carbox Difference
Many customers look at boot liners and assume that “a boot liner is a boot liner is a boot liner”, and that price should therefore be the major factor in deciding which one to buy. It really is not this simple, not at all! Cheap liners may be adequate for the task, but they are seldom good, and they are never excellent.
Carbox boot liners are excellent. There is no single reason, but the accumulation of small reasons adds up to a lot; it’s what we call ‘The Carbox Difference’:
- Accuracy of fit: Many boot liner brands accurately profile the shape of the boot space, but we have not found any except for Carbox that do an excellent job of the loading area, with plastic covering enough of the loading cill, and a tight enough fit in this area to stop movement of the boot liner when heavy items are pulled back out of the boot. This matters, especially with electrically-operated tailgate mechanisms, because if a boot liner slips then the tailgate won’t close properly, and it lifts up again; this soon becomes annoying.
- Allowance for manufacturing variations: The 5cm high edge around every Carbox boot liner is set at a specific angle, and has a flat lip at its top so that it can expand to cope with small differences in boot size; carpeted boot linings have a much bigger manufacturing tolerance compared to the metal parts on a car. The lip will catch under the carpet fibres all around the boot space; without this, dirt and dust would fall between the gaps and accumulate under the liner.
- OEM quality material: The material used is of OEM quality – Carbox supplies most car manufacturers with their own branded boot liners. The Carbox material has no smell at all – many of the very cheap liners contain significant rubber, which can be noticeable in hot weather – and it’s also fully recyclable.
- The material is anti-slip: The Carbox material, as well as being extremely tough – it won’t be pierced by anything sharp – is the optimum anti-slip. It is not so ‘sticky’ that you’d risk your back by having to lift heavy items instead of pushing them, but it has enough anti-slip that most items won’t move around in the boot space.
- Carbox low-sided liners are available in 3 colours – black, grey and tan.
- MultiMat bumper and loading cill protection: We provide a free MultiMat protector with every Carbox boot liner; it protects the outer edge of the loading cill which will inevitably get scratched at some stage without this sort of protection, and the MultiMat also protects the bumper from being scratched (typically by dog claws). This all helps to maintain a vehicle’s resale value – this feature alone has got to be worth much more than the extra cost of buying into Carbox! The MultiMat will also keep road muck off your clothes; dirt gathers around a car bumper - it's thrown up from the road and also washed down from the rear window.
- Everything is designed and manufactured to the best possible standards: Carbox is a business which always aims to do the right thing. It’s all about people, design, systems, energy efficiency, community – you can read more about this, and the awards won, at carbox.info. All in all, they are a great supplier to work with, which we think is one of the most important things in business.
In summary, we are so confident about the quality and fit of this liner that we're prepared to take it back for a refund, even if used, up to one calendar month from invoice date.

Delivery FAQs
When will my order arrive?
There are no deliveries on Saturdays, Sundays or Bank Holidays, except for postable items where Royal Mail has a Saturday delivery. Express Delivery orders placed on a Friday (before 1pm) should be delivered on the Monday or Tuesday, Express Delivery orders placed on a Saturday or Sunday should be delivered on the Tuesday or Wednesday. The arrangements for Very Heavy Items are different and are shown above.
What about Next Working Day delivery?
Most Express delivery orders will arrive on the next working day, if the order is placed before the cut-off time (see above). Some will arrive on the second working day if there has been a "split-delivery". So-called “split deliveries” happen when the couriers do not have enough trailer space for everything that should be moved around the UK, so they will load what they can and leave the rest for the next trailer.
Is my delivery day guaranteed?
No retailer or courier company can ever "guarantee" a Next Working Day delivery. As well as split deliveries, all courier companies occasionally have the same transport problems as can happen to everyone else, including snow blocked roads, closed roads, traffic jams, mechanical breakdown, an inability to find the delivery address, or to gain access to it if, for example, it's in a block of flats. We work with some of the best couriers in the business, and overall they provide an outstanding service.
Do I need to be at home?
We are very flexible with our deliveries and will aim to deliver to an address which suits you – this does not need to be your home address. Goods can usually be left without signature - we prefer this with roof boxes. There's a "Special Delivery Instructions" box in the checkout area where we'll ask you to choose a typical instruction and then amend it to suit your particular requirements.
