Hapro Roady 3300 rear-opening box, anthracite black, 31555

We look around the European market regularly and are confident that this is the best value box of this size, at this price. The Roady 3300 is (like the Roady 350) a front hinged box - the best design for both safety and waterproofing in this mid-market sector - with a single rear mounted lock.

The rear opening also gives you good access from either side - it opens to a massive 55cm wide at the back. This, combined with 'Master-Fit' roof bar fittings, makes it incredibly easy and quick to fit and remove, load and unload.

It's 79cm wide so you will still be able to fit one or two bikes next to the roof box on many cars if you are using aluminium bars.

Specifications:

• A dark black top on a black base
• Made from a very tough UV-protected ABS/ASA recyclable plastic
• The Master-Fit box to bar fittings are very quick and easy to use. Just turn the adjuster knob until the fitting is tight. These fit bars up to 95mm wide x 38mm deep, which includes all the bars we sell except for the Thule ProBar. Claw-style box to bar fittings can limit where you position the box on the roof bars - they can touch the roof bar feet even on some aluminium bar systems, so we are also listing T-track adapters in the list below. T-track fittings also increase the maximum (and minimum) distance between roof bar fixing points, allowing this box to be used on roof bars bars which are unusually wide apart (or unusally close together, although this scenario is very unusual). Basically, it's likely that the Master-Fit claw-style fittings will be suitable for your car, but it's good to know that a solution is available if they aren't!
• Weight 12kg empty, maximum load 75kg, gross loading limit 87kg
• The lock is good and sturdy, with a key which can't be removed unless the box is properly closed
• The lid opens wide on spring struts
• Fits bars up to 95mm wide x 38mm deep; aluminium bar adapters also available (see below)
• 3 year guarantee

Here is the basic geometry of this roof box:

• Maximum distance between roof bar centres, front bar to rear bar: 81cm (we recommend you check this measurement if you've got fixing points on the roof)
• Minimum distance between roof bar centres: 65cm
• Distance between the fittings, i.e. the free roof bar width required: 48cm

Hapro is the world's second biggest roof box manufacturer, one of the big three (Thule, Hapro, KAMEI). Hapro are based near Rotterdam in the Netherlands, and make roof boxes for numerous important worldwide brands as well as selling under their own Hapro brand.

Very few customers know much about the roof box market before they visit our site. We have a lot of information about the things to think about before buying, and the “real world usefulness" of various roof box features, but you’ll be buying sight unseen, and you probably won’t have used a roof box before, so there is inevitably some luck in getting a box that you’ll be happy with.

We want to remove the risks of buying these large and often expensive items, perhaps from brands which almost every other roof box retailer doesn’t stock, and so we have a unique “90 day Exchange Scheme” for roof boxes.

This allows you to use a roof box and, with the benefit of experience, to exchange it for a new one within 90 days of invoice date, only paying a contribution to our carriage costs. Most exchanges are from a shorter box to a longer one, or from a wider box to a narrower one.

These are the rules of the Exchange Scheme:

• You are allowed one exchange only.
• The original box must be in "as new" condition, subject only to fair wear and tear.
• The replacement box must be a different model. Not just an alternative colour.
• The replacement box must not be part of a package deal or be from our Bargains section.
• Roof bars are never part of the Exchange Scheme.

This is how the Exchange Scheme works:

• We charge in full for the replacement box, including carriage charges, and a charge for any packaging needed for the return of the original.
• If you want us to collect the original box, there will be a £50 carriage charge (please note that regional surcharges may apply).
• We arrange the collection, if requested.
• When the original box arrives back here we refund you for the invoice value of the original box, but you won't get back more than the invoice value of the replacement box. In other words, if the replacement is cheaper than the original we won't be giving you "extra cash back".

Please note: we can only collect roof boxes from mainland UK.

Delivery FAQs

When will my order arrive?
There are no deliveries on Saturdays, Sundays or Bank Holidays, except for postable items where Royal Mail has a Saturday delivery. Express Delivery orders placed on a Friday (before 1pm) should be delivered on the Monday or Tuesday, Express Delivery orders placed on a Saturday or Sunday should be delivered on the Tuesday or Wednesday. The arrangements for Very Heavy Items are different and are shown above.

What about Next Working Day delivery?
We have offered a reliable Next Working Day service for well over 20 years but, due to the pressure on the couriers caused by the coronavirus crisis and the huge increase in online shopping, we can no longer be confident about the delivery date, which is why we now call the service ‘Express delivery’. Most Express delivery orders will arrive on the next or second working day, but some will arrive on the second or third working day, or be split between these days. So-called “split deliveries” happen when the couriers do not have enough trailer space for everything that should be moved around the UK, so they will load what they can and leave the rest for the next trailer.

Is my delivery day guaranteed?
No retailer or courier company can ever "guarantee" a Next Working Day delivery. As well as split deliveries, all courier companies occasionally have the same transport problems as can happen to everyone else, including snow blocked roads, closed roads, traffic jams, mechanical breakdown, an inability to find the delivery address, or to gain access to it if, for example, it's in a block of flats. We work with some of the best couriers in the business, and overall they provide an outstanding service.

Do I need to be at home?
We are very flexible with our deliveries and will aim to deliver to an address which suits you – this does not need to be your home address. Goods can usually be left without signature - we prefer this with roof boxes. There's a "Special Delivery Instructions" box in the checkout area where we'll ask you to choose a typical instruction and then amend it to suit your particular requirements.
