I noticed another carpet company while browsing ebay today - TST Carpet Manufacturers:

http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/MOULDED-CAR- ... 1c40776269

I thought it must obviously be a pretty low quality product for that price, but I was curious, and looked up their site. They are Australian owned an operated, and have been in business in Australia for 34 years. Accroding to their site they "were major suppliers to Exact Fit Moulded Carpets, Moulded Car Carpets WA, Queensland Moulded Car Carpets, Tru-Fit Automotive, Siba Moulded Car Carpet & Knox Moulded Car Carpet."

Which is pretty much all the other brands I know of in Aus. So has anybody used them before? I'm tempted to buy some, because how bad could it be?

Wow cheap.

Got a set in December for a Leyland Mini in 'Bark' loop pile.

Fit was reasonable, no worse (perhaps better) than the $300 carpet we've bought from another Melbourne company.
The front wasn't perfect, but that may have been my fitting skills rather than the carpet.

Only negative was that it came with a light brown/tan heel pad rather than black as stated in the listing.

Might not be perfect, but it suited what I was after. I'd buy from them again.

Postage was $28.70 for me. Came in one big roll wrapped in plastic.

That looks good mini fanatic. foes it vacuum easy?

Did you have to do all the cut outs or was it pre cut?

Looks good, I like the brown heel pad..
