Quick answer: Production takes up to 14 days, followed by roughly 30 days of sea freight shipping — this isn't a stock item shipped same-week. If your MINI generation isn't in the standard fitment list (R57–R60, F55–F67, and others), custom fitment is available; provide your vehicle's roof dimensions for a precise build. The usual 20% customization fee is currently waived.

Because each rack is handcrafted from real wood and built to order, the buying process looks different from a typical in-stock accessory. Here's exactly what to expect before you order.

Custom Fitment Beyond the Standard List

Standard fitment covers R50 Hatch, R55 Clubman, R56 Hatch, F56 Hatch, Classic MINI, and Rover MINI. If you drive a different generation — R57 through R60, F55 through F67, or another MINI variant — custom fitment is available. You'll need to provide your vehicle's roof dimensions so the rack can be built to match precisely, since there's no universal size that works correctly across every roofline.

The Customization Fee — Currently Waived

Custom-fit builds normally carry a 20% fee on top of the base price to account for the made-to-measure work involved. That fee is currently waived for a limited time, meaning custom fitment is available at the same price as standard fitment for now.

Production & Shipping Timeline

Because the rack is handcrafted rather than mass-produced, build time runs up to 14 days. Shipping is by sea freight only — there's no air-freight option for this item, given its size and weight — adding approximately 30 days in transit after production completes. In total, plan for roughly six weeks from order to delivery.

Shipping cost runs $230–$450 depending on your location. Provide your postcode before ordering for an accurate quote, since freight pricing varies meaningfully by destination.

FAQ

Can I get a faster shipping option?
No — due to the rack's size and weight, sea freight is the only shipping method available.

Is the 20% customization fee permanent?
It's currently waived for a limited time; check the product page for current pricing.

What if I don't know my exact roof dimensions?
Measure the usable mounting area on your roof and provide those measurements when ordering a custom fit — we'll confirm before production begins.
