On 6/25/23 I contacted Carparts.com customer via telephone and advised them the vehicle make and model I own and the part I needed. They advised me what I needed and completed the order. I received the part and painted it, then when the mechanic went to put it on they discovered carparts sent the wrong part. I contacted carparts and they advised I would receive a full refund of $193.85 because I said the car and they sent the wrong part. I also have this in email. I received a refund for $86.96. I have called and emailed to determine where that amount came from and why I didnt get the he full refund as promised. I was also advised that they would contact me to discuss the cost of the paint that I was charged to paint the wrong part and I have not been contacted and they are not responding to email. The order number is #CSC15711817. The team leader for carparts that I emailed is Red Empinado. I am looking to receive the refund I was advised I would receive and compensation for the cost of paint that it cost me to paint the wrong part. I am not asking them to pay labor, only the cost of paint. I have provided them the receipts for the paint per their request and did not get a response.Business Response

I ordered a steering wheel pump order no. cpz384986463 on 06/10/23 from carparts.com for $186.39 and they sent me the part I had a mechanic install it but they said the pump was not working. I called carparts.com and they sent me a shipping label for RMA ID *********, I returned the steering wheel pump with ***** carrier on 06/26/23 and carparts.com customer service acknowledged it was received. I have called them six times and they keep stating they will expedite my refund, but every time i call its the same story and when I ask to speak with a supervisor they state they don't have the supervisor's number. One of the representatives told me they are in the **********'s and cannot reach a supervisor. I want my refund for $186.39 returned to my card.Business Response

on March 1 2023 but it came out of my account on March 3, 2023 in the amount of $489.38 I ordered a hood for my 2015 Impala and they did not send the hood that I purchased they sent a hood that fits a hood for a Chrysler Sebring instead and luckily my husband declined the delivery and it went right back on the truck. I then requested the right hood and they sent me a email saying I would be getting the wrong refund it was also the wrong hood pictured. I called several times with no help they kept saying someone will call me or allow ***** for a update by email.. after weeks they emailed me on 4-4-23 and said all 1-2 days for my refund to process. then I received a refund for $76.25 I called back and they said they gave me the difference in the shipping it cost to ship back. my issue is it was their error. I filled a complaint with my bank and they said they told **** they shipped a replacement to me but they never did. I have attached the email of the refund that I was told I would get and the proof of what they sent me and I also found that they do this to so many customers. I would understand if it was my fault but I ordered the right part what they sent me was wrong.Business Response

Complaint: 20408165
I am rejecting this response because: They keep saying they sent the Sebring hood for a Chrysler but the hood I ordered and what was listed at the time was a Impala hood which is the vehicle I have. They sent the wrong hood and I was told a supervisor would research and email back and they determined and emailed saying I would be getting ****** back but instead was sent a ***** refund. If I made the mistake I could understand not getting a full refund but I didnt. This company does this often theres so many reviews where people have to loose money because they sent the wrong part and wont refund. I disputed with my bank and they came back and said they sent me a new hood but never did just to get By with Visa.

Complaint: 20408165
I am rejecting this response because: This was not the part I purchased I thought this had only happened to me until I went to their ******** page and saw they have sent the wrong parts to hundreds of consumers and then say they took our money for freight when if they sent to right part it wouldnt be a issue. I truly feel this is what they do to keep the parts and out money. I included this in my initial complaint screenshots. Also I tried to do a complaint through my bank and they told them they sent they sent me a replacement part which they never did. I had to end up repurchasing the same hood twice with no fault of mine. The economy is bad I get it but scamming hard working customers isnt right. Refunding me 74.00 of 475 isnt acceptable when it wasnt my fault. I called and they agreed to refund my whole refund per the email because I told the rep the model number and she said it was listed wrong. Which is why the wrong partwas sent. I emailed a second guy who emailed me and said the same which o will try to locate. This company is definitely scamming.

I placed an order, which I attempted to cancel hours later. Due to the company's poor communication and customer service, the order has been shipped. I waited on the phone for 35 minutes to connect to a customer service representative only to be hung up on without a "hello." I submitted emails AND chats requesting a cancelation. Yet, I received an email confirming tracking details. ***** has yet to pick up the order, the company needs cancel the order and refund product and shipping costs. I did my due diligence to cancel this order, I should not be penalized by paying for ANY shipping costs. CarPart.com needs to provide customer an efficient way to reach store associates. I have never had this many issues contacting a company. I cannot recommend this company based off poor customer service and poor communication.Business Response

I placed an order for some bumper parts for my truck on June 20, 2023. The bumper reinforcement was bent and wasn't noticed until the part was installed and nothing would line up. I asked to return and get a refund, and included all of this info before being approved to return. I shipped back and followed all of their directions, and it shows it was delivered to them on July 11, 2023. They say wait 7 days for the refund to be processed and if I don't hear from them reach out. I am now on my 3rd or 4th time of being told to "wait 2-3" more business days, and we are nearing 3 weeks of them having the product and holding my money. If I were you, I would stay far, far away from this place, just due to the return hassle.Business Response
