The Floor Mat Decision - If It Helps Others

This site may earn commission on affiliate links.
I started out with a set of Taptes floormats and frunk/trunk mats. Later on I saw Tuxmats and had to have the floormats. However I didn't find the need to get Tuxmat frunk/trunk mats so I just kept using the Taptes ones.
How long did it take for delivery? I ordered mine (LR7),3 row mats, frunk, rear bottom cargo, directly from Taptes website due to $50 discount compared thru their Amazon store. After placing the order, it says ETA 13-19 working days. I contacted Taptes CS and they told me that I should be receiving it this week (15 working days). So far, they could not even provide me with a tracking number the two times I inquired.
Hoping to get quality mats. I've had great experiences with my previous vehicles OE all weather mats, but I decided to try Taptes first. Oh yes, to save and have some extra $ that I can spend on other accessories. Ha!

I ordered the Taptes mats from Amazon so it was Prime Delivery, I think. I’m not sure how long their website orders take to ship.

Just getting back to this.
Thanks Rlaza. I want the tall sides of the front Tuxmat. I'll cut them as you did.

ev4Robert:
Ah rats. I forget LDCRS and can't edit the post. (tough rules here on that) Props though, you're right.

All:
Sending the Tuxmat Cargo stuff back. I don't like the 1 piece rear cargo and I'm not spending $220 on something I'm taking a razor blade too. Well, not since college anyway.

FWIW, LDCRS back ordered for 4-6 weeks, no way to back-order (which I hate, is the same BS Tuxmat does). Why do I have to babysit their inventory while they guess at the backed up orders? Just silly.

Argh!
 
ordered directly from taptes site on feb 19.

only been a week so not expecting any shipping info until next week.
I ordered mine Feb 5. Taptes still could not provide a tracking #. The only consolation now is that $50 coupon for the looooong wait. Maybe they ordered it thru Alibaba. LOL. That $230 I paid for the 7 seat mats ain't gonna earn close to that savings on interest. I am just hoping mats will fit well....

just received an email from taptes early this morning.

says that the mats have just shipped from their hong kong warehouse by sea and it will take roughly 30 days to arrive.

"Currently, your order has been shipped,
2023/03/01 The package has been picked up
2023/03/02 Packages arrived at Pinghu warehouse
2023/03/03 The package is containerized and shipped to Shanghai Terminal
Arrived at the terminal on 2023/03/04,
Customs declaration data forecast
2023/03/05 Shipment
2023/03/06 Departure from Shanghai Wharf

The estimated delivery date is around 2023/04/01."
 
There seems to be 4 common choices being made:

Tesmanian: Least Expensive Maintream @ $209 for a full set. Sort of a flexible rubber/EDPM. Fits seems to be 8 of 10, folks like then. I suspect they get dirty/stained/worn looking easily.

TuxMat: The high end of common. I've used them in a PacHy and think highly of them. Well regarded here too. Sort of a softish tough fabric, they provide exceptional coverage. particularly in the front footwells.

3d MaxPider: Up front, loath their website. Seems built by a 19 year old marketing intern. If you do find the patience do ferret out product differences options and prices (patience is required) I think you'll find the Koga is the most commonly used version. Fabric not unlike Tuxmat, but not as good of coverage. Pricing isn't but, but the don't have a highly bundled kit like Taptes.

Taptes: Basically a 3D Maxpider ripoff, but apparently well done.

What I suggest:
* I consider the full set of Taptes as the best quality/cost/coverage. A lot of coverage for $270.
* I'm already spending some coin on the car, so I'm getting the best coverage I can. Tuxmat up front is $200. Their rear/frunk/truck set is $220 and seems silly high, but there aren't great other options. S

So $270 vs $420. An reasonable person would be offended by the well over 150% charge to move to Tuxmat over the Taptes. I certainly am. I'm very comfortablle paying for service and quality, but this is silly. However, I want the coverage, so while i begrudge them every dime I guess I'm going to buy Tuxmat.

You may reach other conclusions, and I'ms sure the "I love my XYZ" comments will follow. None of the less many of ya'll are considering the same thing - Here's a head start.

TESMANIAN
New all: $209
Cargo: $110

TuxMat
1&2 = $200
Cargos = $220

TAPTES:
Front: $149
All: $269
Cargo: $180 for matching matts
$ 80 for rubber

MAXPider
Front: $189 (amazon)
I was considering tuxmat as well until I learned that soft material can peel off easy after use. Since this is floormat, it will face abuse so I went with taptes. It is tpe material, I got all for 209. You want to get the new TPE one and not XPE one. The XPE one looks just like 3d spider.
