      On or about the first part of the year I bought a booster / master cylinder for my **** Jeep . On the **** site stated guarantees to fit. Have contacted carParts *** to get fittings so I could finish installation. Have gone back and forth on communications with no resolution. Last communication from CarParts *** stated that I could not send part back due to policy on returns. Communicated back to them that I was not looking to return part but for them to get the fittings so I can finish installation, thus making goo on their guarantee. $400 cost

      A product for my vehicle was order and the part was installed by a mechanic. After the install of the product the product was faulty. I contacted the company and after speaking to the parts department the part was not a part for my vehicle after the website says it was for my vehicle. The product is now not available on the site anymore and ******* checked the other product on their site and even the one that states its for my vehicle on their site will not work. This is false advertisement and the labor cost should be paid from this company. Because *** paid for the labor and now I need to take the product out and install a different one and pay the labor again. The order number is CPZ385135219. The product is for a front car fan.

      I am rejecting this response because:
      This was neither a defective part or sending out a wrong part. This was for a part that you guys listed on your site to fit my vehicle and upon checking with your car parts specialist that item does not fit my vehicle and will not fit any other M3 or M4 vehicle at all this is why Im requesting the money back for the labor. The part that was listed online is false advertisement., If the part would've not been listed to fit my vehicle, I would've never ordered it and had it installed thinking that it was for my car.

      I purchased a car part on May 26 2023, I received the part on May 31 2023, I opened the box as soon as the delivery guy put it in my hand , upon looking at the part i noticed it was damaged . I called carparts.com and they sent me a pre paid shipping label to return the part. I returned the part to them and they explained that it needed to be inspected and then I would receive my refund. They received the part back on June 8th 2023 , there policy states that it had 7 days to inspect and issue refund . After countless times on calling and getting nothing and pushed off they have yet to date issue me a refund . I am seeking a refund and to file a complaint and lawsuit against them for unacceptable business.

      On Wednesday, June 14, 2023, I purchased a 6-pack of ignition coils and protection plan through Carparts.com. The total was $208.97 and the product was scheduled to arrive on Saturday, June 17. By Friday, June 16, I decided to contact the company because I had not received email confirmation with the tracking number for the shipment. At that time, I learned that the order was pending due to "card declined;" however, I bank account showed the money was withdrawn on Thursday, June 15. The representative told me there was a pricing issue and the difference of approximately $110 was not authorized thus the order was pending to obtain the difference. It should be noted, if the site incorrectly charged me that's not a customers problem and they were not authorize to charge me the difference. Once that was worked out, they indicated the product would be shipped that date and should arrive by Monday, June 19 (two days after the original date). However, I received an email that there were delays at the warehouse and the product would be shipped at a later date. I then called and requested the order be cancelled and a refund be issued, which should not have been an issue considering the product remained at the warehouse. However, the representative indicated he would submit my request for cancelation and refund. It's not Tuesday, June 20 (4 days after expected delivery) and the product is still showing "awaiting carrier pickup" yet no cancelation nor refund has been processed. I've requested cancelation/refund on Sunday, Monday, and again on Tuesday, June 20, 2023. They indicated upon delivery I can return the product with shipping to be paid at my cost. This company is a scam! That's unacceptable, I requested cancelation/refund prior to the product leaving the warehouse.

      I ordered rotors and pad kit on 5-14-2023 using you website look up and was sent or directed to the wrong part. Any how they couldnt send us just the property rotors because it was a package I guess. So when I talked to the cs it took her over an hour to find the right part and figure out why these rotors didnt fit. I explained to her that the old pads can not be put back on at this point the cars rear breaks are torn apart. She said just use the new pad and when I send the correct parts send all the other stuff back. Which I did. But the day she order the correct parts I had to pay in full again. So you guys have both orders money and I havent been refunded. Order number CPZ384359277 should have already be refunded I have spoke with cs 4 times a s they just say it hadnt been checked and processed yet. Well this nuts. You cant hold people money like this u have the parts back refund me my money. It my money time and aggravation. This is the first time I have ordered and it maybe my last at this rate. I will use a company that works in a timely matter and doesnt keep people money when they shouldnt . Here are your words. REFUND Refunds for standard returns normally process and credit within 2-3 business days of the warehouse receiving your part. Once the return has been approved and processed, the refund will be credited to the payment method you used to buy the merchandise. It been way longer than that. My refund should be ****** after u deduct for shipping I already paid for.

      I am rejecting this response because: I never placed an order with car parts I also never provided them with *************** unlisted cell phone number. And yet they are spamming me with text messages. This is not a complaint about to order this is about car parts spamming me with text messages to an unlisted cell phone number that is registered with the do not call registry. Response is rejected not acceptable. Car parts must provide me with their source of my unlisted phone number and cease-and-desist in these text messages otherwise I cannot except any other responses from them.

      Bought a set of mirrors that did not work. Was sent another pair and they came in a damaged box that I have pictures of. Sent them back and I did get a refund. I had to pay ***** $20 for boxes to ship then back to carparts.com. was told in store while on phone that I would be reimbursed for this by showing a receipt. Now I am told that they will not refund the new boxes I was forced to by because original package was damaged. I'm not talking about a dent or torn I'm talking flat out bound in duct tape.
