I bought a brake kit that was "guaranteed to fit" the model of vehicle I uploaded on their site. After thinking about it for a few minutes, I checked the vehicle to realize it came with rear drum brakes, not rear rotors. I then called to cancel the order. They said they would submit a request to cancel the order. I received an email 3 days later saying that my order had been shipped. I called again and they told me I could return them when they showed up and they can process a refund when they get the package back. They received the package on July 5th. They were going to only refund 178 dollars for some reason, and when I explained how it said "guaranteed to fit" and how I tried to cancel it right after I ordered, they agreed to a full refund. However, I've called multiple times and they said they'd email me when they process it, even yesterday, when I called the *** told me he'd expedite it himself and I'd have an email yesterday. That didn't happen. I sent their products back and just want my refund.Business Response

You guys have had the returned parts for a week now. Exactly how long does the refund process take? The poor customer service on **********************'s part through this entire process means you've now lost a customer. I ordered on 7/10/24. The original delivery date was 7/13/24. First, the part was lost. Then, the part shows up nine days after 7/13/24 on 7/22/24 completely damaged. I was given a measly $5 credit on my order, which was never received. I called and asked that a new part be overnighted to me on 7/18/24, which didn't arrive until 7/24/24, again, completely damaged. I shipped both packages back, being informed that I was going to be charged a return shipping fee because the part didn't fit my car. That was on me. But the original order package that was returned on 7/25/24 was delivered to *************, ** and not the warehouse in *********, **. The second package that was returned on 7/25/24 that should have been overnighted made it to the warehouse in *********, **. Please explain to me why I'm having to babysit you over $156.28. This company could have handled this entire process way better. Do better.Business Response

I ordered car parts from car parts.com and paid to have parts delivered by Saturday August 4th. Parts still not here on Monday August 6th. They also took double the money from my bank account and stated that is their company policy and that the money will be returned to me in 5 to 7 business days after I receive all my parts which I never authorized. After trying to resolve this issue with customer service they actually hung up on me after telling me I'm just complaining for no reason. I want to let anyone know whom maybe thinking of buying ANYTHING FROM THIS COMPANY TO ABSOLUTELY NOT DO IT. This is by far the very worse company I have ever dealt with. I am in the process of reporting theses unauthorized charges to my bank and going to file a police report for theft. Not sure how this place is still in business but goes to show you how the agency in charge of protecting consumers rights is also a complete failure and a waste of our taxpaying citizens. Such an embarrassment that in today's world you still can not purchase a product from a company without being scammed. DO NOT USE CAR PARTS. COM Also they are partners with FED X who also is a joke. Only use *** OR ***** FED X is the bottom of the bottom of delivery services.Business Response

Hello. So I have made several purchases with this company. I have previously had no issues until recently which started 5/31. I ordered a part to have fixed on my car. I paid for expedited shipping. The part would not make it in the time that I paid for therefore I had to pay double the money to the shop. I reached out to car parts for a return. They sent a label. Unfortunately someone in my office put the label on the incorrect part. I reached out to ***** immediately to see if they can stop the package and return. They failed me. I reached out to car parts letting them know the issue. H they supposedly mad notes to return the package. Which they failed. We have been in contact for months. They advised me to buy a shipping label to return the wrong package. I did. After months of lies and telling me they are trying to locate my package they claim they cant and they wont. Due to high volume. Whats the point of having a rule in place if you as a company wont follow it. Therefore I am out $85 of a missing/lost/stolen part and $20 for a ***** label. To be told sorry everything we said we would do we arent due to high volume. I hate this because I love dealing with car parts. I have still shopped with them during this issue. But this really is unacceptable.Business Response

I am rejecting this response because: this is what I was already told. I just dont find it fair that I followed all steps your company gave me to just be told oh well there is nothing left to do. You knew prior to telling me to pay for a label that you had high volume . So what happens to customers who make this mistake? What does your company do with the products? Make a profit. Its not right and Im not ok with it.
