Great website, but that's it. Every part of my order was wrong. Every part. Wrong size rims, twice, wrong size lug nuts, wrong TPMS, which cost me $600 to replace. Just awful experience and customer service. Buyer beware!

Worst experience ever!
August 29, 2020

Ordered a lighted spoiler for my 2019 Corolla on 7/22/20 and was charged immediately. Didn't receive until 8/15 and there was missing paint from a small area. Contacted them and and after almost 2 weeks was finally given a small credit (had to purchase paint and when it arrives will have to try to touch up myself). So finally today I'm having it installed but there are no screws! I contacted them and they will contact the manufacturer and get back to me in 2-3 business days. Every time they were supposed to get back to me, after waiting the specified days I have to contact them again and they have done nothing! I am assuming I will have to find screws myself that will work. Absolute worse customer service!

Dear Betty,

Thank you for posting your feedback!

Please, accept our apologies for the issues with your recent order you have recently encountered

From what i see on file, indeed, we have reimbursed you 10% of the total amount in order to compensate for the defect with paint. Also, the manufacturer has already confirmed that the missing screws will be shipped out shortly. We will be working with them in order to obtain the tracking information for the shipment and provide it to you as soon as possible.

Kindly check your email inbox for details.

Looking forward to your answer!

Disclosure
August 29, 2020

Be mindful of ordering a wheels and tires package from Carid as no one disclosed how long it would take for such a package to be shipped--more than 4 weeks! Meaning by the time it's delivered and finally on your car could be as long as 6 weeks! Even though I tried to cancel the order a short time later I was told that I could not cancel because the wheels had already been fabricated. I will never order anything like this again from Carid. Certainly if you want something done in a timely straightforward manner try to do it locally if at all possible.

I ordered a part for my car and after a month of waiting and delays decided to cancel the order. It has been another month since that and I still haven't gotten my refund of over $400. I wish that I had read reviews of this site prior to making any purchase from them. Don't make the same mistake that I did and steer clear of doing business with them.

I bought a stainless steel muffler, flowmaster super 10 to be exact. Policy states if all stainless steel then it has a lifetime warranty as long as it is still placed on the 1st and very own vehicle ever installed which it has been. The last few years the rust is getting worse and worse. So I called them in July and we are now in August 27th, 2020 and they give me THE SAME EXCUSE "we will send the internal team another urgent message sir, just wait 24-48 hours" the internal team has to have like 20 urgent messages by now not they don't care 1 bit to help their customer out. I'm never shopping on carid

I placed an order for a part that was In Stock where the product page listed that it would be shipped within 24 hours. It has been over 48 hours and no notice of shipment. I reached out to customer service, and was finally told there was an issue with processing and that there was no guarantee that it would ship out even today. I specifically ordered from this company since it was based out of a neighboring state and would ship within 24 hours. Because of the lack of clear communication that there was an issue, several days passed which forced me to order the item from another website with overnight shipping. This lack of clear communication has cost me $70 in shipping when I could have ordered it days earlier had they been clear that it would not ship according to the information the website. A general disclaimer about COVID potentially delaying shipment 3-5 days is not a replacement for updating the product pages to reflect the delay. Don't state that it will ship within 24 hours if it's really 24 hours +/- 3-5 days. Measuring in hours when the level precision is several days is just as good as a scale that provides numbers in 0.1lbs increments when an error of +/- 5lbs. 0.1lbs is meaningless if that could be anywhere between -4.9lbs and +5.1lbs! 24 "hours" is meaningless if it could be 4-6 days! Buy from anywhere else.

Where is my REFUND?
August 25, 2020

I ordered a hood, I waited 3 weeks just to be told the shipping date is now pushed back another 2 weeks (total 6 weeks from original order) so I cancelled and requested a refund.

1: I requested a refund Via the Carid website order page.
2: I responded to the Email sent saying the order was delayed, asking me If I wanted to cancel. (YES)
3: I called their Customer Service and verbally requested a refund.

Now, 7 days later the website still says "Cancellation Requested" for my order
Why has my order not been cancelled and is only in a "Cancellation Requested" state?
Where is my refund, I was told it would take no longer than 5 days to have my bank account refunded when I talked to the person on the phone - ITS BEEN 7 DAYS!

Where is my refund?

Takes FOREVER
August 25, 2020

Ordered an engine 8/12, told the item would ship 8/13. The reason we went this carID was they promised 3 to 5 business days shipping. Here we are 8/25 and still hasn't shipped, we're left with a vehicle in the shop unable to drive and just keep getting excuses. Covid - everyone wants to blame COVID for their problems. They lack the ability to accept any responsibility. Then they offer us a $25 gift certificate to their website for the inconvenience. Really?! We won't be ordering from you again! If you really want to compensate us for the inconvenience, ship our engine and give us a discount on the current purchase. Ridiculous!

Horrible response time
August 24, 2020

Items ordered on 8/17, that day the order confirmation email gave an estimated ship date of 8/19 and informed me a second email would be received when items shipped. 8/21 no email with shipping notification so I called customer service. I was on hold for 34 minutes before someone picked up my call. The customer service rep put me on hold for "2-5 minutes" while they contacted the manufacturer for an updated tracking number... 8 minutes later he came back and told me he would put the request through for an email with updated tracking information but that it would take 24-48 hours to receive it. 8/24 rolls around and still no information so I called again. I was on hold for 39 minutes before getting picked up. New person today but exact same situation: he was putting me on hold for "2-5 minutes" while reaching out to the manufacturer. Four minutes later he came back and said he was directed to the voicemail for the manufacturer so he was going to put me on hold again for another "2-5" minutes while he tried a second time. Two minutes later he came back again and said all he could do was put in a request for an email with updated tracking information but it would take 24-48 hours for a response. At this point I am very unhappy and ask to speak to a supervisor not because of anything the rep has done, but for the horrible service of the company overall. Surprise surprise, I got put on hold again... after a total of 49 minutes on the phone with this company, I can supposedly expect a phone call from a supervisor AND an email in 24-48 hours with updated tracking information. NEVER AGAIN.

Horrible service. Ordered the bumper for mustang Aug 5th didn't get shipped till Aug 12th then I wasn't told that I needed to contact the carrier so they could deliver the part. The part gets here on the 14th and it's so big I can't carry it or look it over the driver sets it down tells me to sign and leaves... The box was damaged on the back side which I couldn't see. The whole bumper was $#*!ed up, scratched and a corner was broken. I immediately contacted carid and they have dragged their feet. Now a lady told me that it's my fault cause I received it and I need to pay for it. I asked to speak for a manager and she just kept repeating herself that I couldn't talk to anyone till 24 hrs from now. I am so irritated with this company never in my life have I dealt with such a decietful lying unhelpful company. People stay away! Customer service is horrible the parts quality are crap and damaged!
