I am rejecting this response because: Regardless If You hadn't Sent Me That First AC Compressor With A Gritty Powder In The Box And On That Compressor . That's Considered A Defected PART. That's Why You Sent Me A Replacement . So That Return Is At Your Expense . If The 1st Ac Compressor Came Without That White Gritty Powder In The Box It Would Have Not Been Replaced . So If Your Not Responsible For Returns That Are Not Defective , Then I'm Responsible For Is The Return Of 1 One Ac Compressor And 1 One Compressor Kit . The Defective Part Return Is Your Responsibility .. Regardless The Reason I Sent The Parts Back . If The First AC Compressor Wasn't Defected , Then I Would Have Only Got 1 AC Compressor And 1 Kit , And That All That Would Have Been Sent Back To You .

I purchased a driver side mirror for my truck for the amount of $193.20 on June 11, 2024. I received the WRONG item on June 14, 2024. I returned the wrong item. The "warehouse" received my item on June 21, 2024. I have reached out to customer service and keep getting told the same thing over and over again. That they have not inspected it yet, they are running behind on that and as soon as it gets inspected they will issue a refund. It's now July 6, 2024 and still nothing as far as a refund.Business Response

My teenage son ordered a dashboard cover for his first (used) car and the one he received had a cutout for an in-dash speaker. The description and picture on the site did not mention or show the cutout, so he requested an RMA and reordered the correct item which arrived a week later in perfect condition. The problem is that we sent back the incorrect item a month ago and have not yet received a refund. My husband contacted customer service several times and they confirmed that they received the returned part on 6/14/24, however they keep saying it has not gone through the inspection process yet so they cannot issue the refund. Their response specifically stated that this process takes 3-5 days from receipt of the returned item. It has been nearly a month! My husband requested to speak to someone directly and they wrote back that they unsuccessfully tried calling him, however he never got a call from them. He double checked his missed call log and there was no record of them ever trying to reach him. I am extremely frustrated and my teenage son, who used his own earnings from his after school job, is very upset about losing his money. This is ridiculous, we want our refund!!!Business Response

Not received a refund. Item was returned via a confirmation by FEDX on June 10th. Carparts claims on their web site see here Refunds are normally processed and credited within 7 business days after your return was received and inspected. You will receive a "credit approved" e-mail the day your refund is processed. I have called 3x with the 2nd phone call June the 26 was told ***** hrs I would have my refund. 3rd phone call was told it would be escalated, with no follow up email. So almost 30 days later I am filling this complaint.Business Response

Carparts.com Original order#***************** Total $310.25 I purchased a rotor and brake kit from this company. The items did not fit my vehicle as described. It was returned unused via the company's Return Merchandise Authorization #RMAM00003645365 and the return was delivered to them via ***** on Thursday 6/6/24 @ 5:29pm. (Proof of return attached below)After not receiving a refund I contacted the company on 6/21/24. Customer support stated that they must first inspect all returns and will issue a refund after inspection. It is now July 6th. They have had the return for a month and per their customer support today have still not inspected the item. She stated that they will do so and issue a refund within 2 days. As this is not the first time I was assured a refund would be forthcoming I am notifying the BBB. After reading other BBB complaints of theirs. It seems this is common practice to not issue timely refunds. It also appears they quickly issue refunds after BBB complaints and then comment they have done so. Most of the refund dates provided are after the BBB report is made. This company needs to do better and treat their customers better. We were waiting for this refund to purchase the correct size rotors and this delay in refund has been a safety inconvenience!Business Response

I returned an alternator that I purchased. ***** never scanned the return label but had a pick up reference for my home. When I called customer service they told me I had to call *****. I asked to speak with a supervisor and two weeks went by and they called me back. He told me I had to retrieve the tracking number, which should be in the system, and wait for *****. Why should I have to do this? This isn't fair and I shouldn't have to wait a month for a refund. This is ridiculous.
