I ordered a hood for my car. Paid for the hood plus $150 shipping. Hood was shipped and arrived. The hood was junk. Warped and bent and full of chips. It was so bad the body shop refused to paint it or put it on my car. CarID's web site has a 30 day no questions asked easy return policy. Unfortunately they are full of it. The web site gave me an error when I tried to create a return label and initiate the return. I called customer service and got a call center in India or Pakistan or some dirthole country. The operators made me jump thru hoops, even take photos of the hood I wanted to return. I got an email saying they would contact me in 2 business days. Well it's been 2 weeks and no contact!

So despite what their web site says about returns, they will NOT honor my return!

I am very meticulous in researching and cross referencing anything having to do with my vehicle and any upgrades. And Carid is constantly the site I end up at in the end. The reason? The best selection and quality of parts. And the most competent and friendly associates, who reassure the correct fit and application for my vehicle.

CARiD is a great website to buy wheels on. When I called CARiD I spoke with Kelvin about ordering wheels for my car. Kelvin was excellent to work with and was able to help me find the specific wheels I was looking for. I would recommend CARiD to anyone that's looking to buy aftermarket parts for their car.

My experience with the CARiD customer service over the phone was pleasant. There was little to zero wait time to speak with their staff. They communicated well and resolved my issue about making changes to my shipping address due to my own error. I will definitely be a return customer for the great prices and user experience.

Don't even think to buy any product on their website. Don't waste your time and money. I got damaged product, spent hours chatting with customer service and no refund received.

I purchase a leaf spring shackle from them in anticipation of changing it on my truck. Unfortunately, the truck would not wait and I needed to purchase the part locally. I contacted customer service to cancel my order. The operator I spoke with through online chat, cancelled the order and I got notified almost immediately. There was no hassle or any grief. I will order from them again due to the great customer service I received.

Astounding!
May 30, 2018

I was searching for accessories for my new Hyundai Kona and had found a few results. Thankfully I found CarID first. Not only did they have great selection and variety but they have amazing customization options as well. CarID was more than helpful, not only amazing selection but amazing customer service as well!

Weird service
May 28, 2018

I ordered two centric loaded calipers for my car. Then i got a mail and a tracking number with estimated delivery date. But then i got a new mail that it was shipped again. The first tracking was just from the storage to the shop. I live in norway so i waited along time for these calipers. When the package arrive they have just managed to send me one of the calipers. So i mail them back and say where is my other caliper? They apoligized and offered me a 20 $ gift card. Very useful when it cost 85 $ in shipping only to norway. So after some days they send me the other caliper. They talked about it had been damaged under transport. So i assumed that is why i never got the other caliper. Or so i thought. But no! Now they want me to return the caliper i have recieved in the first place because it was this they claimed have been damaged! I inspected it and it looks in tip top shape. I told them that there is no need to return it because it is not damaged. But no they still want me to return it. Why was it delivered to me in the first place if they suspect it to be damaged? I have not said anything to them or tried to return it! So i said can you at least mail it to me on express mail because i need these parts to get my car back on the road. I even offered to pay the extra cost for it. But no, this was not possible they said. I will never shop at carid again!

Dear Jim,

The policy applies to all clients. However, each separate situation requires a special attention. Unfortunately, not in every situation the exception can be done and not everyone in the company is authorized to make a decision regarding this. That is why I asked you for the order number to check if there is still something I can help you with.

We appreciate your understanding and would like to hear from you soon.

Sincerely,
Consumer Relations Team at CARID.com


Would never use them again

Previous review

Bought a pair of seat covers for a express (cutaway) back in March we just got the truck back from service and custom fab on it. We go to put the seat covers on not even close to fitting. I called them and said could I just exchange them. She said we don't even make them for a cutaway but I was never told that when they shipped them. I said can I get a refund they said you are past the 30 days I said ok but you don't even make the correct ones and you took my money! She said I can give you a $50 website credit and you can send them back (are you fucking kidding so you can sell them again) Thew them in the trash! We have a very large service company and will be letting our customers know the story!
