eBay launches Thule Store

eBay has launched the Official Thule Store to give customers a destination to shop genuine Thule products, such as roof racks and cargo boxes, directly on the marketplace.

eBay found around one in 10 (12%) drivers claimed the size of their car made them go on fewer road trips, while 14% said having enough load carrying space was one of their biggest concerns when going away.

One in ten (10%) drivers admitted to leaving their boot open due to overpacking their car, while 15% of drivers have improperly secured items to their vehicle roof.

More than two-fifths (43%) said they had resorted to tying items to their roof rather than using a secure roof box, while more than a quarter (28%) admitted leaving their boot open due to over-packing.

Of those drivers struggling with packing their car, eBay found that Gen-Z motorists were the most likely (43%) to re-pack their vehicle multiple times ahead of any journey, compared with 3% of boomers.

Abir Tewari, UK director of commercial operations, at eBay UK Ltd, said: “We’re delighted to welcome Thule to eBay with the launch of its official branded store in the UK.

“Customers come to eBay looking for choice, value and trusted brands, and we’re continuing to expand the range of official manufacturer stores available on our marketplace.

“Adding Thule gives drivers and outdoor enthusiasts an easy way to shop genuine products from a leading transport solutions brand, all in one place.”
