WHAT ABOUT CHEAPER LISTINGS ONLINE?
We are aware of sub-standard fake versions of this product being made available online. We got one in too see if it was any good, unsurprisingly it wasn’t:
Here’s to to check that you are ordering a Genuine Mercedes-Benz W447 Vito cup holder kit:
Step 1) Price if someone is advertising a Genuine Mercedes Cup Holder Kit at under £100 including vat & delivery then it will be a cheap copy and not the real deal.
Step 2) Packaging – all genuine Mercedes-Benz Vito cup holder kits are supplied in genuine Mercedes-Benz packaging as shown in the video. If you order from Shopstuff your cup holder kit will be supplied in the box shown in the video. If you cup holder kit turns up wrapped in cling film and a plastic bag it has not come from Mercedes.
Step 3) Two Separate Parts – all genuine Mercedes-Benz Vito cup holder kits are supplied in two separate parts. If yours has arrived or is being advertised pre-built then it won’t be from Mercedes.
Step 4) Diameter of Cup Holders – genuine Mercedes-Benz Vito W447 cup holders have a diameter of 9cms at the widest (top) part at the base it should be 8cms. If the listing you are looking at doesn’t declare these measurements is probably because they are selling fake copies.
Step 5) Part Numbers & Branding– if you’ve ordered a genuine Mercedes-Benz part the technical spec, part numbers, quality control and batch numbers will be plastered all over the two parts. If the listing you are looking at doesn’t show these pictures it will be because they are selling fake Chinese copies.
Step 6) Overall quality – difficult to tell from a sellers pictures, but as you can see from the video the copy version is poorly manufactured with sub-standard materials. It will probably fit, but it’s just not the same as the real McCoy. If you’ve spent £40k + on a Mercedes-Benz Vito van do you really want it finished off with a shoddy cup holder?
If you think someone has sold you a fake Mercedes product please return for a refund and report the seller to the relevant platform.
