“Best Car Trash Can Ever”

Kim V.
4/7/22

I saw a carcan advertisement on Facebook and decided to give it a try. It works great. It definitely helps keep my car tidy It holds larger trash like fast food bags, cups, etc.… I also love that it has so many other great uses. The mesh side pockets are awesome for keeping certain items handy. I like giving practical gifts and I have given away about six of these and everyone has loved their gift and found it very useful. I highly recommend this product!

“Company cyber harassment - very aggressive”

Jessie H.
12/9/20

Update 3: More bizarre emails arrive. Today their emails said they pay this site $500 a month to hide my review (I can still see it) and... And this gets even more bizarre... that they did a news story about how I turned down a cancer donation? I really don't know what that's all about. However, I have uploaded photos of these emails and it provides a more holistic picture of the crazy marketing scheme that this company goes through to try to manipulate its customers... Please think about these things before deciding to do business with this company... Update 2: The bizarre badgering continues with nearly weekly emails threatening to sue me if I do not take down my legitimate review. See screenshot attached of their latest email and decide for yourself if you want to do business with these people... Update: *This site urged me to provide order details "in order for your review of carcan to remain published". The day I provided sitejabber with the order number I received a bizare, badgering voicemail from the company (see screenshot) that arrived at almost 9pm... *Ultimately the product took 44 days and did not arrive until a few weeks after Christmas despite what the company rep stated (below) in their response to my review. *I note this site is suddenly flooded with positive reviews for carcan after initially having an average rating of less than 2 stars from almost a dozen customers sharing their experiences. *As others reviewers stated, the marketing from carcan offered an incentive of refunding the shipping cost if I posted a positive review on Facebook. This offer was made within a day of my purchase and more than a month before the product arrived. I wonder if some similar effort is magically driving up the 5-star reviews that all appeared within the past week... *I notice all the other negative reviews (~a dozen) that were available when I posted mine have disappeared and my review is now the "oldest". I wonder if the "prove you purchased this" email from sitejabber that resulted in me providing the order number and getting that badgering voicemail from carcan was a company-initiated challenge/"purge mechanism" to remove the negative reviews on sitejabber. If other reviewers did not respond to the email challenge in time with an order number their review might have been removed (something I would find offensive if a company could remove negative reviews simply by claiming the review is not valid and then waiting for someone not to notice the email)... All I know is when the email arrived, I updated sitejabber with the order number then got that bizarre call, and now my review remains l on this site Original review: I think they have a decent product. However on their website they only describe the method of shipping as DHL or USPS or "epacket". However my order was shipped directly from China using YunExpress. I would think that it is deceptive for a business based in Canada touting shipping services from USPS or DHL to in fact be based out of china sending product using the Chinese mail system with estimated shipping times of 15 to 20 business days. Furthermore it took over 7 days for the product to have a "pending shipment" status. Avoid the hassle and worry of not ever receiving your package - don't buy from this company.

I used to use a plastic bag hanging from the shift stick but the wind would blow it all over when windows were down, now with this perfect product I see no problems. It's elegant and comfy making the car look cool and has many other key features. I bought 2 and my son was happy to get the other one. If you're a neat and clean person this product is great!

I absolutely love my car can. I have it hanging off the back seat on my Hummer H3. I use it to store dog bowl, treats extra water, extra leash, wipes, dog poop bags and whatever else I may need for the pups day trip. Now I never get caught in a jam or have to fiddle around on the floor to find a rolling bottle of water. Everything is right in reach! Best purchase ever!

I absolutely love my new Carcan. Great price. Super sturdy material and great size. Hangs nicely from car head rest. Use it for trash or use it to store various car items. Easy to reach from sitting in drivers seat. It is lined with waterproof material so you can use it for a mini cooler as well. I am extremely happy with my purchase and wish I would have bought more for me and my friends.

This is the best trash bin for vehicles! It hangs easily and conveniently from the head rest, if you need to close it (due to smells or whatever) a slight push is all that's required. Otherwise it is held open so it's always easy to throw things away without fumbling. It even has 4 mesh pockets on the outside to hold tissues or keep your sunglasses handy or whatever! It's a fabulous item. Very inexpensive and such helpful, courteous staff!

I always used a grocery sack hanging from my gear shifter for trash, so when I saw an ad for these on Facebook I decided to order some. I got one of the multi packs: one for me, and one for each of the rest of my family for Christmas. My husband thought it was silly until he actually used it, now he loves it. It seems very sturdy and looks so much tidier than the grocery sack. I love that you can open and close it with one hand. It did take a few weeks for shipping but was worth the wait.

Best can for a car! Or use it as a lunch bag as my brother does. Lol. The kids love it as it has mesh outer pockets for their rocks from the park that they refuse to leave on the ground. Also have a bottle of sun screen and bug spray in the side pockets. Would definitely buy more. This was gifted to me as a Christmas gift.

I use to keep my car trash in a plastic bag, between the seats or on the floor (don't judge me), until I found Carcan. Now my car trash is organized in one place behind the passenger seat... I just have to remember to empty it :(. It even holds my water bottle for an easy reach and storage. Now, I think I need to get another to store my snacks in one place. I would definitely recommend this product for any loose "stuff" you need to organize in your car.

I really like my CarCan. It is so spacious. Takes me weeks to fill up. I also like that it is labeled CarCan in fluorescent green in a band around the top to discourage smash-and-grab bandits from thinking it's a purse. Waterproof, too, so soda cans with a little liquid left in them are no match for it, and you can rinse the bag out in the sink to keep it clean. Best bag of its kind I've ever owned. Keeps my car tidy. I recommend this product wholeheartedly! I've owned and used it for more than a year.

Made of quality materials. Durable. Unobtrusive. Doesn't take up much space. Garbage is secured and virtually out of sight. The pockets help keep things organized and helps keep your car less cluttered. Useful for drink storage with ice if need be. Just a great product I wish I had years ago. Not that expensive and it's worth every penny.

I am in love with my car can. I have 2, I hang 1 on each seat and there is never an excuse to have trash on my seat. I am an uber driver and I keep car chargers and lysol wipes in the pockets for my passangers. I never even thought of using one for a cooler, but with the insulated bags you sure could. So easy to wash out the sticky mess some trash causes.

Thank You for the two CarCans I received, they will come in Handy for sure!, I keep one on the driver's side and one on the passenger side of our vehicle, not a drop of garbage on the floor of the vehicle. Plus they make a great gift loved ones "CAN" appreciate! It has so many uses, I will be using one to organize my cleaning products under my sink.

Why I love my Carcans

• Previous review

I purchased the Carcan product about a year ago, I ended up purchasing another one for the other side of our vehicle, now NOTHING gets thrown on the backseat or floor anymore. The waterproof feature brings peace of mind, especially when traveling. Let's face it, coffee & drink cups are not always completely empty when we throw them out, with Carcan you don't have to worry about ruining the inside of the product, it rinses out with ease. It can handle wet or dry garbage waste. I also like the side pockets for extra storage for charge cords, maps, magazines. And if you have kids it can hold diapers and face wipes! I will continue to use this product and recommend Carcan to anyone and everyone.

Usually hesitant ordering online but this company made it so easy for me. They placed the order for me, and emailed me details and how to pay via credit card. Package of 5 CarCan holders arrived yesterday and all as good as shown on their Facebook. I particularly like the foil lining to keep my Summer drinks cool. They also enclosed at no extra charge 5 Canada car air fresheners. See photo,. They have been a pleasure to deal with.

Tip for consumers:
Company responds very quickly to questions and delightful and helpful at all times.

These are so amazing! We have purchased 15! Family members with cars, 4 for grocery shopping and 1 attached to our living room table as a garbage can. I am going to purchase more and give them to neighbors and hubby's co-workers, for Christmas.

Thank you CARCAN!

I perched 8 of the Carcan bags to give as gifts for Christmas. To start with I put one each of my trucks. As Christmas was upon us. I handed out Carcan bags. As now everyone that received one loves them.so use them for trash and some are used to keep water cold. These bags hold up well. I've had mine for at least two years. I'm hoping to perches one or two more.
Thank you for coming up with this bag.

I bought these CarCans so the kids would stop leaving their rubbish in the car.
The are a great size. I just get them to pop all the rubbish in on car trips and when I get to a town I unclip, drop the rubbish in the public bin and clip back on. I was hesitant to buy as I thought the quality would match the price but I was amazed how great they are made and the quality. Love them.

The fact its leak proof and can be used as a rubbish container as well as a cooler was the main attraction, but on a recent car trip, my son became unwell and vomited. Luckily CarCan was right there and he used that. It prevented my car being covered in sick, and being leak proof and closable we were able to contain the mess until we found somewhere to empty it and rinse it out. Good as new with a good wash.
Brilliant little things, best car accessory to come out in ages.

I ordered three carcans. They are by far the best product I have used to organize my belongings.the mesh pockets offers ease of finding things and the bag can be used not only as a trash but as a cooler/iPad holder. The mesh pockets holds sunglasses, glasses, doggie treats and bags plus water bottle. All within reach and visibility. Awesome on long trips.

I ordered 4 of the Carcan and it was one of the best things I've ordered in a long time. I have so many friends and family that would love these. I'm always afraid to order anything online cause you never know what you're going to get. I have trust that I would get good quality from this company at all times. Thank you for your integrity and your trustworthiness. I will order these as gifts.
