I placed an order on their website and realized it was the wrong part, then within 45 min talked to a representative and had my cancelation notice put in. They told me there was no guarantee that the order could be stopped. What they should have said was we choose to ship orders even if canceled so that we can charge you 10% of what the item costs for restocking plus hold on to your 300$ while we incrue interest for the next month. These people are crooks, should have a warning on google that says buyers beware, cheap parts, terrible service, and refusal to cancel orders once placed, even if only minutes after the purchase. I waited on hold for 25 to speak to a foreign call center supervisor who had no authority to do anything. Please go elsewhere with your money. I will never waste mine again.

If I could give this site negative stars, I would! I ordered an alternator for my wifes car on a Monday. By Wednesday I still had not received a tracking number or a shipping confirmation. On contacting the company I was told that it was still processing and that I needed to wait 24-48 hours more. I thought that was ridiculous, as I have ordered from Rock Auto in the past and received the parts within 3-4 days. I told them I wanted to cancel and was also told that they would "try"... In the words of Yoda, try not... do... or do not... there is no try! I am left extremely disappointed by their service and the speed at which they operate. I can only expect that my order has been cancelled due to the fact that the charge has fallen off my checking account... Keeping my fingers crossed! Never ordering from this company again!

False listing for a heavy part as a come on, never intending to ship it. Then shipped minor accessories for the part and charged the full shipping and handling for the order. Called to cancel as soon as notified not in stock. Within 1 hr of placing order.
1st they refused to cancel partial order, then supervisor promised to try and cancel,
Then 36 HOURS LATER, put the partial order trough anyway. Must repudiate order with credit card.

I just stopped at this site and read some reviews about Partstrain.com and I nearly busted a gut.
The person said that, "this site was easy to navigate like a lot of others" and that is what made me laugh, want to know why?
Well that's because they are all the same company and only the prices change.
It's called the U.S. Auto Parts Network and I am still not clear how many auto parts sites they have, maybe about a dozen and yes they all basically look the same.
One clue is if the sell what they call Replacement Brand parts and they all have a one year unlimited mileage warranty.
First, there is no such manufacturer called Replacement Brand it's a scam.
This network is the worst, as I have been tracking these idiots for sometime now.
I intend to do as much damage to there organization as I can and all over one defective fog light called Replacement Brand I learned the hard way.
But once I get mad I can be relentless.
Some of there co. Off the top are autopartswarehouse, drivewire, partsgeek, carmd,
Discount car lights, and many many more.
Without opening my bookmarks my brains gone blank.
What it is though and a way to stay away, is it works like this, a person goes to Google and types in something like "2004 Buick Regal replacement headlight" and then that word replacement is the director and takes you to all the sites selling these Replacement Brand auto parts. And that's that.
And if for some stupid reason you don't believe me, and do buy a part from one of these many networked websites and it goes bad under warranty, just forget about a warranty as the hoops they will make you jump through and the cost it will take to ship it back will generally not be worth it.
I sincerely hope this helps and remember, they do mostly look all the same, but if it says Replacement Brand, then know to get going.
Good luck

I put my name so they know I will do what I say...

My company attempted to use PartsTrain.com as a source for items needed to complete a large project we had a strict deadline for. Several companies and vendors were collaborated with to accomplish this project that totaled nearly $40K in cost over vehicle. One of the final touches on the project were the marker lights which were to be installed on the final day of assembly. These were the only parts we ordered from PartsTrain.com eight days prior to deadline and we paid for overnight shipping to guarantee no headaches for what should have been the last and most worry free details of the build. We were wrong.

Not only did I speak with their "online chat" option (which is the only option they give for assistance) on Monday to ensure the parts were shipped with the properly paid for shipping they still sent me a tracking number once the parts were shipped giving me details for Standard Ground Shipping. They did not mess up the billing however as adequate funds had been immediately taken off my bank card for overnight shipping. I again contacted their online chat option Tues to see what the issue was and after a lengthy conversation with what seemed to be an automated robot with pure generic responses I was promised the parts would be reshipped for on time arrival and I would return the other order.

Again they proved me wrong. The day before final assembly and no arrival as well as no tracking number. On the third attempt to speak with their online chat service I was told she knew nothing about my previous conversations (even thought I had printed them and provided her with the "chat number *******") and there was nothing they would do other than reimburse for the difference in shipping.

In my experience with business, in order to show a valued customer you made a mistake and are willing to take responsibility for it, you offer them something that is a sacrifice of you, NOT just to give them the shipping payment back. Their response?... 20 bucks back on an order of over $500.

If this were the only company we dealt with in this project I would possibly accept the service I received from them. Maybe if this were even the only company that made a mistake... but they weren't and they weren't. What they were was the only company to handle it in such a pathetic manner and then when finally having no choice but to admit their mistake offered less then a pathetic solution.

My advice to anyone even considering PartsTrain.com is to make the fraction of an effort it takes to scroll down the screen to the next option and choose it instead. There are more than enough resources online that provide excellent service far above and beyond what PartsTrain.com has proven they provide.

Please learn from others mistakes and stay away from this site.

If you could give it a minus 10 that might be sufficient.

I ordered a part from their website using their parts finder by entering my vehicle info. Received part about a week later - wrong part.

Called was on the phone for about 40 minutes going around and around with their staff who would not admit that their website was incorrect - somehow it was my fault they listed and I chose the wrong part.

Finally I get a shipping label and instructions. The instructions of DON'Ts is 2 pages long. You cannot write on the shipping box you must use a different box and you must write in black pen... and on and on.

REALLY!

Now I have to wait up to four weeks to receive a refund for a part that was incorrect because of their error not mine!

I certainly hope you don't stay in business very long which would only allow you to inflict your stupidity upon others.

Stay far far away from this company, they are not capable of good customer service!

I was ALMOST scammed into buying the full front bumper of my 2008 lancer gts. Normally the price is around 300, on the website it is marked down to $90, that alone made me wonder if it was real because it seemed too good to be true. So i talked to their customer support (if you can call it that) on their online chat help. I was talking to one of their car "specialists", and we had a long talk but to sum it up, he knew nothing about cars, he was asking if my 2008 lancer gts was the turbo model, funny thing is that none of the lancers come with a turbo. Only the ralliarts and Evolutions. Then he sent me a link that automatically puts a part in my check out, so i looked up the product number and the picture showed the lancer bumper but it was for the 2007 and earlier version (the 2008 looks completely different). Anysways, even though i already felt it was a scam i had my credit card out ready to buy it (i figured oh well i would rather take the risk if i can get this part for 200$ cheaper). Then i searched for complaints about that website, and what did i find? Exactly what i thought i would, people who got the wrong parts, parts for different cars, different brands from which they ordered, or BROKEN parts. DO NOT USE THIS WEBSITE.

Don't purchase from this company, they are just out to take your money. I purchased a replacement antenna for my 99 mercury cougar. The part they sent me is a fake. The cord is far too short and they are completely aware of the problem. However, they still sell it specifically advertised as a 1999 mercury cougar replacement antenna. Partstrain won't reimburse me until I ship it back - that's just fine, but they won't reimburse my original shipping or pay the shipping costs for me ship their mistake back to them. Their customer service reps are also in another country and hardly understandable. Do yourself a favor and buy from a different company

I ordered two brake discs (rotors) on 9/6. After 57 hours I had yet to receive any shipping or tracking information, but I had received a notification saying that I had been billed.
Their website dictates that you will receive a tracking number after 48 hours tops, so after 57 hours I called their customer support line who informed me that the part was out of stock, and that I would be receiving my refund within 5 business days.
Woah, woah, back it up, if you can steal my $#*!ing money in less than a minute you can give it back just as fast. Not only was the part listed as in stock, I was never notified at the time of purchase.
This website is a scam.

Late and damage - Hi, Everyone I've shopped at this website once and it was the last time because I had ordered a very expencive part for my car that came late and was damaged, to the point that when I got it, It completly looked like a Picasso painting, and that no matter how you looked at it you couldnt make out what it was.

Then when I tried to send it back they kept putting me on hold and transfering me from tom, to fredd, then to nancy, and then back to tom, then to hold. Also i had a hard time with them becuase they thought it wasnt there fault that the part had arrived as mangled as it did so they tried nott refunding all the money. So don't waste your time and money here.

Parts Train will tell you what you want to here but scam you - Order a part from partstrain.com and asked for 2nd day delivery. Manager told me they could ship it 2 nd day for 67.00 which was fine with me. Part never came and now after a run-around with customer service, they say I shouldn't of been told that but would do nothing to make it right. BAD, BAD, BAD CUSTOMER SERVICE! STAY AWAY!
Who needs this run-around from a online company that can't deliver and doesn't care about correcting their mistakes!
