I needed help picking our chair sizes and they were very friendly and patient with me. They stayed on the phone and walked me through measuring. They even gave me an extra discount because it was my first purchase. Thank you Chad you all your help!

What junk. I have been dealing with customer service for 3 months on a replacement.
The slightest breeze flips it off. It has ripped in to spots and the grommets have torn out.
My biggest gripe is the horrible and slow customer service.

Empire covers sells Covers manufactured by Budge Covers. Some products can have the same product ID numbers and different warranty lengths sold through different vendors and sales channels. The customer received exactly what he ordered and the cover will certainly carry a warranty that is listed on empire.com.
A return and replacement of the product is not necessary as the Cover is listed properly on the website. However we do understand the customers Point of view and are willing to offer him a full refund.
We have asked the customer to contact us to work on a resolution but have yet to receive any response.

I bought two covers, one for my 1973 Ford Mach 1, one for my 1967 Mustang Coupe. I didn't realize at the time, they are the same length covers. I tried one on my 73 Mach today, way too short. The 73 and 67 are no where near the same length. I even double checked the website today, if you order a custom one for a 73 it is the same as the 67, there website is wrong. Now I have a cover I can nor use. They will not return the unused cover. What a rotten company. Stay away.

Our indoor sluxury covers that you purchased are listed as semi-custom and are designed to fit multiple makes and models. The make, model, year selector is not to order a custom cover but to assist in choosing a size. Like most retailers we have a 30 day return policy that was clearly missed since you purchased your covers in February and it is not May. We hope that you find covers that will work for your vehicles.

I have a 2005 Harris Kaybot Pontoon Boat and the bimini top ripped with snow on it in the winter. I priced several others at $600 to $800 or more, some of which included new poles, which would have meant new drilling. When I went to Empire covers and plugged in the data on the boat, size, square not round, it came up with a bimini cover that was only $200, which dropped to $185 with the discount. I called customer service, which was very helpful and warned me that it may not fit. They were clear that there would be a 20% restocking fee. I thought it was worth the risk, so I ordered the cover and got it in about 5 days by Fedex with free shipping. What was great is that it fit really well. All the zippers lined up and were easy to work and appear very solid. There is about one-inch of "slack" in the cover, but it is hardly noticeable. I saved hundreds and appreciate a reliable company enough to write this review.

Nice Cover
October 24, 2022

Little challenging to put on first time alone. But, I am looking forward to the protection it will afford my boat. Wish you could order outboard motor cover to go along with boat cover. Great price, bought on sale. All in all pleased with the purchase. Thanks for great cover.

I bought a trailer cover last year for my trailer and had a problem with the stitching. I contacted Empire Covers about my problem. I dealt with John W who is their customer service rep. I let John know what my issue was and they replaced my cover in a very timely matter. Thank you for standing behind your product. Very much appreciated.

Beware of FREE SHIPPING
December 18, 2020

I went to purchase a motorcycle cover and it said Free shipping in TWO 2 spots next to the item. I went to check out and it added a $10 shipping fee. I chatted with their customer service and they said I needed $50 to get the free shipping. I sent her a copy of the page I saw and she said there was an * next to the Free shipping and I needed to click on the banner to see I don't get free shipping. There was absolutely nothing that indicated the * linked to anything about shipping on the face of the screen. She said she would talk to the web designers and I told her it was false advertisement and that I would purchase the item elsewhere.

Full boat cover for 18' Campion BR
August 8, 2023

Cover is for 18-20' boat so fits a bit loose. With the extra pole to hold cover up it eliminates rain pooling. The built in rope with pullies ensures a reasonable fit. It isn't custom but it works.

I have a unique teak wood patio table that needed a cover. I tried to find one via google. No one had the right size until I hit on the Empire site. I put in the measurements, picked the color sent in the order and when the cover arrived it fit perfectly. I now know where to go. EMPIRE. PS, I live in northern Alberta Canada, the weather is extreme. The cover I received is strong and tough. Thank you Empire.

I received 2 of the 4 pieces I ordered, a loveseat cover and a coffee table cover. They are not responding to my emails and phone calls regarding the 2 chair covers. I've spent almost $100 and not only haven't received the entire order but the products that I have are very cheap material and ill-fitting. I'm thoroughly disgusted with this company and would never recommend them.

Empire Covers has a NO postage paid Return policy. Whether you open the box or not you will pay for its return. That can be as much as $155.00. I decided to return my un-opened cover costing me a quarter of its total sale price. And there's a restocking fee that will be deducted from my Return. It cost me alot of money to do direct business with this company. If you've opened your cover then the cover will be inspected (with a fee likely charged) and maybe your defect will be spotted and money returned... either way you will have paid for its return.

Very good price on the bimini top I ordered. Very happy with the quality. I had a small issue, not due to anyone's fault, and the customer services was attentive and resolved the issue instantly. Definitely will shop them first.

I had been hunting for a good boat cover and was having trouble finding one that was a good price and good quality. After some confusion I called customer service and quickly had my call answered and helped with my purchase. The cover arrived fast and has held up great. Really happy!

Boat Cover
July 5, 2016

First mistake was Googling "Taylor Made" and not paying attention that empire popped up under search. Have had Taylor products before and they are top quality & the best on the market.
Second mistake ordering from these jokers and then having replacement shoulder surgery the next week. Wasn't able to try cover for a few weeks and their 30 warranty expired. When trying cover it was like putting a C-cup bra on a D-cup size if you know what I mean. Only one of the tie straps was long enough (bow) and that was barely. Called customer service and got the same Could care less response.
Beware of these guys.

I ordered a cover directly from the company. It was HUGE -- looked like a big, saggy diaper sitting on my car. Long story short, they finally admitted they sent one that was too big (the algorithm that figures out which cover fits which car didn't go a good job), but they would only exchange for "a smaller one" that is said to be 2 ft. Shorter but just as wide and high. Crazy. So I asked for return authorization, and, wouldn't you know it? I have to pay return shipping.

All the comments from the rep bordered on legalese ("the website never says it's a custom cover" or "you'll note there is no picture of the cover on your particular model"), which suggests I am not the first person to find these covers problematic. Buyer beware.

Fits. Like a potato sack
April 24, 2023

Cover is decent quality, only used to keep dust off the car in the garage. Clearly meant to fit more than just a mustang. Pretty much fits the car like the 'house coats' my 300+ pound mother in law used to wear.

Great Cover and perfect fit
February 16, 2023

I needed a new cover for my boat after the hurricane and finally pulled the trigger and could not be happier with the product. The cover fits perfectly and was delivered very quickly. I followed their size guide and it worked perfect.
