I received a email that my order shipped. I called after 5 days and it never actually shipped. They said it would ship that day. It didn't ship for another 2 days which put it over a weekend and made the shipping go from 5 days to 7. I buy Jeep accessories all the time and I now go somewhere else.

The salesperson that helped me initially was excellent, but itt was all downhill from there. I purchased an expensive truck rack from these people that took an extensive amount of assembly, 3 to 4 hours. When I took the last piece out of the box, it had a big dent that was quite visible. I called them to let them know and they stated that I would have to disassemble the entire thing and mail it back. So now I would have to spend another half day with disassembly and go to the trouble of shipping it back. When I asked why they couldn't just send the one dented piece, they (all three of the people I spoke with) stated that their return policy required that I send the whole thing back. They gave me double talk about how they had to determine if it was a problem with my installation. I told them that I saw that it was damaged when I removed it from the box and had not yet been installed. And if I wanted to talk to a supervisor, I would have to wait 24-48 hours, but since this was a Friday, I would probably have to wait until the middle of the following week. If it took me 4 hours to assemble, and 4 hours to disassemble, and another four hours to assemble the new replacement rack, I would be two days into this rack. I told them that if they had told me they were selling me used or damaged goods, I would have expected a substantial discount. The final woman I spoke to was very rude. Don't they know how one bad review can really mess up their bottom line. Never again wth this company. They will be out of business soon I believe with that kind of customer service.

Dear Ken,
Thank you for sharing your experience. I am sorry to hear you faced difficulties with returning the item. Indeed, since you have purchased a set, it can be replaced only with a set. It is not quite clear has the issue been resolved and I will gladly look into the issue to make sure it was. Please provide me with your order number here to take further actions.

"Give us 24-48 hours"
August 23, 2017

DO NOT BUY FROM THIS COMPANY. All they are is a middle man scam. If and when you have any issue with your order, you are at the mercy of waiting for not one, but two different companies to resolve it. This results in the blame game, and a lot of runaround. I've heard give us 24-48 hours so many times now. The company that shipped my items sent me the entirely wrong thing once, and part of the correct item the second time. This part of the process spanned a month. The item was needed for a beach home, and I didn't have a couple of months to wait to maybe get the right thing the third time around. Incompetence at it's finest. It's been over three weeks now since I first made contact with them about returning the second item, and they still haven't sent me a return shipping label. I'm calling back tomorrow because their one employee claims he will personally call the company and find out what's going on. If that doesn't go well, I'm calling my credit card company next to see if I can file a charge back. I will also report this company to the BBB. You can not send a customer the wrong thing, or just part of the right thing, and then not give them their money back!

Am I being scammed?
August 23, 2017

Purchased custom made Dub Tremlo for my Lexus and was told it would take 8 weeks to be made. A week before they are supposed to be done they send me an email informing me it will take 2 more months. Is this a scam? I paid $3500 and I was told there are no returns. I reported CarID to the better business bureau. Somethings wrong here.

Total incompetence, lost paperwork for returns and blamed every issue on management, accounting, vendors, shipper etc. tons of emails delaying action.
2 of 3 items didn't fit. What happened to your 100% fitment guarantee?
6 weeks later no action. Now I have a PayPal claim against them.
Never again will I deal with them and it's too bad since their pricing is good and in the past things were smooth. Granted they sold what the mfg claims would fit, but they need to argue the case with the supplier and not force the customer to wait while they take their time figuring it out.

What's the holdup?
August 22, 2017
Updated review

The only excuse or reason I can come up with why my problem has not been handled, is that Carid has no intention of doing the right thing and correcting their error. I have gotten probably 4 or more of these "give us 24-48 hours to check on the situation, and we will get back to you". It's been 7 days since they were contacted about my wheels not fitting, and still nothing has been done to solve their mistake. I have turned this matter over to my credit card company in hopes they can help. I also intend to contact the New Jersey attorney generals off to file a complaint as to CARiD's less than stellar business practices. And I will also seek out as many places, forums and reviews to inform others in the hope they will avoid this company!

Waiting on return response
August 16, 2017
Previous review

I purchased 4 Niche wheels for my Camaro. While taking one of the wheels from the box, my tire guy noticed that the chrome was peeling off one wheel. I immediately contacted Carid, and was sent an email with directions on how to return the defective wheel. I took all the requested pictures and sent them in. No response within the 24-72 hour period that was required to process. I decided to order and pay for a replacement wheel trusting that I would be refunded for the defective wheel. Received the new wheel and made an appointment to have the wheels installed. I got a call from the installer telling me the wheels were hitting the brake calipers! My receipt said that the wheels were a guaranteed fitment! I am waiting to hear from Carid to make this right! I gave them a 3 rating, this could go in either direction, depending on how quickly my issue is resolved! 8/15/17

Awesome service!
August 18, 2017

I've been trying to find the correct harness to upgrade my factory radio. There are 3 or 4 that keep popping up, but they just didn't seem right, so I chatted with Kristy on CarID. She asked a couple questions that I hadn't even considered, and was able to quickly recommend the product that I needed--which was not even on my radar and had not popped up in any of the searches. Kudos to Kristy for knowing what to ask in order to find the right product! You just saved me a lot of time and grief!

Dear Gene,
Thank you for your comment. We have been trouble shooting your order for quite a while, and it is sad you did not agree to co-operate. Your comment is misleading, since as you know, you placed the order by yourself online, and picked the wrong sub-model. Your vehicle was wagon, and you decided to go with base. Each interaction with an agent is followed by an e-mail, where you can see, who assisted you. We are really willing to assist you, however you rejected our offers regretfully.

Dear Jessica,
I appreciate your time to write your feedback. I see we have processed a cancellation on your order. We will refund right away, and will be able to provide you with the transaction ID. The rest depends on the bank, because they process refund from 3 to 5 business days, depending on a particular facility. You can request to proceed with the operation faster, providing them with the transaction ID.
We also checked the conversation, it seems the only fault the representative had was his accent, which made you angry with his assistance.
I regret this situation, Jessica. We are thankful for frank reviews, where our clients actually met issues. In you case, you placed the order, you decided to cancel, we cancelled and proceeding with refund.

Sincerely,
