I dont know what kind of $#*! show this company is running but its ridiculous.
I ordered some step bars for my car and after they arrived i realized their not what i wanted so i wanted to return them. They literally want me to send them pictures of the box before they send me return labels... what kind of customer service is this? I have never dealt with a company that bribes you to keep merchandise?! Please do yourself a favor and use amazon never any issues with them.

Dear Amanda,
I am sorry for this negative experience you had. The request is based on control purpose, but not to control you. We need to find out where the error was made: was it a simple human factor mistake, or an error in the system, in which case it needs to be corrected to avoid similar misunderstanding in the future. Could you share your order number, I will check how we can smooth the things up.

Sincerely,

So I know little about cars but the sales person was patient with me and found me exactly what I needed despite my not describing it with the correct terms. He did this professionally, switftly, without talking down to me (as a confirmed non-car person), AND savedme money! I totally shop here again!

5 Star Company*****
November 24, 2017

Even though I haven't received my order yet I can say I'm highly impressed with the service I have received from CARiD. I called with questions prior to placing my order and the young man I spoke with was extremely helpful. I went ahead later that evening and ordered the seat covers online. Early the next morning I received confirmation and was given a projected arrival date of Dec 5th. This seemed reasonable. Then yesterday morning --less then 2 days later--I received confirmation that my order has shipped. I'm amazed and have a really good feeling we're going to love our new seat covers.

Buyer BEWARE!
November 22, 2017

Really sucky customer "service". Shipper lost my package. Three weeks later am still being told they are searchig for it. Instead of sending out a new shipment they choose to make it MY problem that it was lost. Meanwhile they are sitting on the money I paid and refusing to make it right. Customer "service" was RUDE, RUDE, RUDE! Refused to let me speak to manager. Told me that would get me nowhere... Buyer BEWARE!

Dear Elizabeth,
I am truly sorry you have faced such an issue. You are correct, it is quite strange to keep you that long without a replacement, there must be a reason why it happened. Could you share your order number with me? I will check the issue and will do everything possible to resolve it.

After wrong paint match then on second set peeling wheels still take BBB to get them going and they even lie to BBB that it was taken care of, Im here to tell you it hasnt been taken care of. Jason at Carid is just trying to make it hard and have me pay for another set, a total of $6600 dollars tied up and spent $2200 with no legit set of wheels. CARID is a just company that cares only about themselves. If i get ahold of GM or Owner we will have a good talk.

Update: upon receiving the parts I purchased. They sent me used and broken parts from a product that was on pre order. Should have never been used but they were. The product was used and damage and I'll never use this company again. Not worth your time and money. IGNORE THE BOTTOM EXCEPT TO COMPARE THE REVIEW. It took me forever to update because I couldn't figure out how.

Not to post a generic review. Look, this is solid place to buy mods. This is in my top 3 locations do buy and search for mods on my jeep. Theyre clear on whats available and will work with you if something comes up. Give it a chance find what your looking for. Its worth it.

Called to make sure they had a part instock, after about 10 minutes, they came back and had the parts in hand. Placed the order and paid for overnight shipping. Checked the order today, and now it says they are backordered till Dec 26th. I called, and all I was told is sorry we are out of stock now. Very unacceptable.

Update
November 21, 2017
Updated review

I spoke to a manager who told me that I must of put the spacers on wrong, that's why they don't fit. After telling him "no, sir" he then told me "well, if they don't fit then they must be damaged since you drove on them." Again, no sir as one wheel went on, it didn't fit so it came right back off. After shooting down both of his "default" answers I was then told that their guarantee is to do everything they can do make them work, NOT take returns. So I am stuck with 3K worth of rims and tires that I cannot use and being told by management that they will not take them back. Again, if you are going to purchase rims/tires. DO NOT, DO NOT, DO NOT buy from CARid.

Do not buy Rims/Tires
November 16, 2017
Previous review

Purchased Rims/Tires with the guaranteed fit. They came in and hit the brake caliper so obviously did not fit. I sent pictures as requested and asked for a return label. The answer was to send me spacers (which I do not want) and a tracking number was in my inbox. The spacers come in and... don't fit. I again reach out and ask for a return label and of course they ask for pictures. Pictures are sent and again, I ask for a return label. No response yet to my email but I called and asked for a return label and I was met with they will review the pictures and get back to me. As I stated, you guarantee a fit and these do not fit. I was met with attitude so I asked for a manager. Manager was busy so of course still no resolution. DO NOT BUY RIMS/TIRES FROM HERE. Save yourself and find a local rim store.

Scam
November 20, 2017

They offer parts for other industries other than auto parts for very cheap prices. I ordered various items, which I was told that there was a delay due to manufacturers. Then after waiting 3 weeks I was told the same. Now I have to await a refund with no set timeline

Dear Nate,
I am sorry you have faced a back order on the parts you needed. As for the refund, it has defined deadline and depends on the original way of payment. If you share your order number with me, I will be more than happy to check it for you.

Carid shipped an extra part, so trying to do the right thing, I tried to return it. Original experience was fine. They even gave me a 25 gift certificate. They asked for a further review, which I have, they gave me another 25 gift certificate. So far great. Then the problems, they wanted pictures and explanations about the extra order. I have swapped many emails and pictures, and they still want more information to just return something I didn't pay for. So I thought ok, l let's use the 50 $ certificates to buy a few towels. Went to order them. 50 of towels and 64 in shipping. I don't think so. And this ordeal is not over with yet, and they expect me to haul the extra parts to ups. I have since tod them. Send me shipping labels where ups picks them up at the house, or I am just keeping them at no extra charge. This is just nuts.

Dear Ronald,
Thank you so much for your comment. I sincerely apologize for such an inconvenience. I am guessing what would be the problem with the towels, and it is purely a technical bug. Could you share your original order number, please? I will be more than happy to look into the issue.
