Does not roll up or roll down when power is applied to the motor terminals. Connector was broken directly out of the box, wire pulled out and unable to reinsert and remain placed inside the socket due to a cracked guide and terminal clip Alignment guide for window class guide was cracked Contacted CarParts.com requesting refund or replacement Company denied both, citing I did not opt into their shipping protection program At no point during checkout was I clearly prompted to opt into this program It is unreasonable and unfair to deny refund/replacement for a defective item, regardless of optional shipping insurance and in my humble opinion goes against basic consumer rights. ?Desired Resolution: Full refund of purchase priceCustomer Answer

I ordered a clutch kit and valve cover gaskets. The gaskets cost $14 and carparts .com charged me $13 for shipping and another $3.89 for shipping guarantee or something ridiculous they shouldn't have. I immediately caught the added charges that moment and requested to cancel the order because I didn't appreciate being charged more for shipping the gaskets then they cost to purchase and not agreeing to it up front. And the representative said they wouldn't cancel it even though I literally just ordered it not a minute prior to noticing the added charges. She then informed me that I would be charged a return / cancelation fee of $33.99 to cancel my order that wasn't even filled shipped or delivered because I literally just made it . That's dirty in my opinion. Charging hidden fees that aren't agreed to and noticed immediately upon review of charges shouldn't be something that costs consumers even more money to stop from happening. That's theft of money no matter how its being described. The dispute and requested cancelation of the order was immediate and not after they had done a single thing but push a button. They are dishonest and a disgraceful company if that's what they do to those who complain or dispute hidden charges upon receipt of charges just 90 seconds after paying. Enough is enoughBusiness Response
Date: 05/17/2025
Please accept our sincerest apologies for any trouble or inconvenience we have caused you. Our record shows that no hidden charges has been made on your account and you were the one who agreed to the charges and placed the order. Thus, the shipping protection fee is optional and you may opt to purchase it or not. While Our Policy states, "We are happy to cancel your order if it hasn't been packed or shipped. Because we process orders quickly (within 24 hours), please reach out as soon as possible to request an order cancellation. If we're unable to cancel your order in time, don't worrywe have a straightforward return process in place. Just let us know, and we'll help you every step of the way."
Kindly confirm then if you would like to return the parts or you may go to our website (**********************************************************************).

I ordered a Window regulator for my 2010 **** Focus for $56.80 (including the Shipping protection). Had text tracking on it to make sure I got it, waited tll it said it had been delivered but there was nothing outside my door. Checked with my neighbors but they didnt receiveanything or seen a delivery truck stop by. waited a week to contact them over getting a replacement sent. They sent me to ********** to claim a refund. i received $54.85 back as a Virtual card to use at carparts.com and nothing else. i tried to re-order the part but the price had changed to $58.87 ($59.12 at the time of this letter) so i called to see how we could find a solution to me getting my part. They then told me to take it up with Extend because they arent allowed to fix the price so i could pay, they werent allowed to make two separate transactions and i was willing to pay the few extra dollars just to order it and get this over with or give me a coupon for a few dollars to be able to pay for it. Couldnt put the money back to the account i used to purchase the item. Extend then told me they arent allowed to add funds to the virtual card or send the money to my personal card. So now i just want my refund back and will most likely never shop at carparts.comBusiness Response

I need a refund for my order that was placed on 1/17/25. I paid $27.74 to have it shipped 2nd business day which was supposed arrive on 1/20/25. After I placed the order it didnt show that I had placed it for 2nd business day 1/17/25 it had it for ***** 2 day for 1/22/25. My order didn't arrive until 1/23/25. I contacted ***** and asked them if ***** 2 day and if 2nd business day were the same thing and they said no. It came through on their system as regular shipping when I paid extra for 2nd business day. My package still came late even for regular shipping since I didn't receive my order until 1/23/25. I spoke to two people at ***** and they both said I am due a full refund since I paid extra to have my package arrive on 1/20/25 and didn't receive it until 1/23/25. They said in order for me to get my refund carparts would have to get the refund and refund me my money since it was ordered through their account.When I informed carparts about what happened their response was "All orders must be received before 1:00 PM Eastern Time (10:00 AM Pacific Time) Monday to Friday only. Also, "Business days" for ship-out or delivery timeframes refer to Mondays through Fridays only." If that was the case their website should have said that. There's no reason why I living in *** should have been able to place an order at 9pm if that was their policy. It's not my fault their website allowed me to put the order through. So they can just charge me nearly $30 for shipping and when it arrives late just say that's not our policy? And even if the order was placed in time it still came late. That's why when I contacted ***** they said I'm due a refund because that is their policy. The only thing is carparts has to do it from their account. I can't do it because they have to refund it from their account. Either way you look at it I'm owed a refundBusiness Response

I am rejecting this response because:
My order was not placed on Saturday it was placed on Friday. When I checked out on the carparts website it showed how much I was being charged and for what kind of shipping I was being charged for. I was being charged $27.74 to have it arrive on Monday 1/20/25. If it's not in their policy then their website should reflect their policies and should not have charged me extra. Even ***** said I was owed a refund because it was shipped late. ***** said they can only refund me through carparts account. I'm owed a refund
