      I purchased guaranteed to fit CV Axles for my car. Upon receiving them they were set to the side until the mechanic could work on the car. 34 days later the mechanic came to work on the car only to find out they were the wrong ones. Carparts.com has either a 90 day or 60 day return policy and will not honor it saying they have to go by A1 Cardone 30 day policy but A1 say I have to go by Carparts policy. I just want the right Axles for my car since they were Guaranteed to fit

      On 5/23/2023 I ordered parts in the total of $591.27 , it was debited on my account, on 5/24/2023 car parts.com pulled $81.79, $174.33, $63.39, $39.85, $157.60 for a total of $516.96, called customer service and was told it was because the parts were coming out of different warehouses and those charges would drop off in 3 -5 days. I call my bank and was told that I was billed for the above charges, since it was debt card charges there wasnt anything the bank could do, I feel so ripped off, will never do business with them again

      Please accept our sincerest apologies for any trouble or inconvenience we have caused you. Our record shows that no other charge/s aside from your order was made to your account. Thus, you placed an order for a total authorization amount of $591.27 on 5/23/23 and was captured/charged on 5/23/23 ($39.85+$63.39+$74.31+$174.33+$81.79+$157.60= $591.27) as the parts were shipped out. Per the Order Confirmation Mail, "Note this is a pre-authorization only, not a final charge. You will be billed for each shipment as tracking information becomes available. For orders with multiple items, you may see incremental charges on your card as items can be dispatched from different warehouses. All charges will add up to your total order amount. You may track your order status here."

      Hence, rest assured that no other charge has been made to your account. Kindly let us know if you have other questions by calling our **************** Team at **************. Again, we apologize for the inconvenience.

      On the 17th of May I placed an order for EXACT FIT per thier website for front and rear brake pads, rotors, snd drums. According to thier website (pictures aren't always matching per them as well) I ordered sure fit parts for my 2013 ***** cruze. So I placed the order for $265. I called and was told they would fit my car even when I questioned that I had drums for the rear. So I emailed as well for them to check prior to sending. I did all of this on the 17th. I didn't get a response back til the 19th stating that the parts were not correct and that they already shipped. According to them they could intercept for a fee and I wasn't losing more money than I knew I was already going to. So now fast forward. I receive the parts and now have to ship back. Even though I emailed prior to them sending for them not to send until they were checked. So I get a confirmation for a refund. I'm only getting $140 of my $265. They are claiming it isn't thier error even thought I messaged to check prior to them sending. I should be entitled to a full refund so I can get the correct parts. It isn't my fault they purposely delay responding so they can take people's money! Horrible business and I have contacted a lawyer about the issue. He is the one who told me to contact you and send this to him as well.

They leave them and I didnt know they delivered and it said they delivered at 2:15 pm today and I was outside waiting on them because I received emails saying they would deliver 10:00 AM to 2 PM and did not they didnt deliver it at all because I dont have packages.

      Sincerely,

      *********************** apologizes dont pay the cost that I had to pay because of the poor excuse of customer service and items that I had to have paid at the local automotive supply store. I ordered from them because they were cheaper than the local supply stores but the used a delivery company that doesnt follow customer instructions on gates. Because I have two gates with instructions on what to do with packages and they didnt follow instructions and packages was stolen or something because I dont have them. But had a paid mechanic come Saturday to fix vehicle and it was too late to cancel anything

      Sincerely,

      *********************** this check should have been over night not taken two weeks to get and been such a hassle and pain to get a refund because of not getting the packages. I had to actually get a loan from a lender to get the parts because I had a already paid off a mechanic and expected the parts to be delivered on time mattter fact they told me three times they would be delivered three different times they would be delivered on this day and was not but that is ***** unreliable. It says it was being delivered that day and at end of day waiting around was not and finally said delivery next day and not. So cant depend upon their tracking system and I have a sign saying delivery driver ring doorbell and please place inside gate

      i bought parts from car parts and i ask for a ****** to return the parts and it was in the 90 days. car parts authorize the return , but never sent me the labels to return the parts. i called them several times. i was told they were going to send the labels and never did. one time i called they told me the system was down and when it come back up they would send me the label. they are intenually not sending labels so they can keep people money. another customer told me that. i think it is unfair that they get away with that after they authorize your return.i called them 4 times. since they authorized my return i feel they should honor the return. i feel it is their fault that i could not get the product to their return location. i have parts i can not use becaise they would not share their address with **** do not want this to happen to any other customer especially people who use the last of their momey to get parts. they would mot want anyone to do this to them.thanking you in advance for hesring me out in the matter.

      I purchased 3 items from car parts.com on March 9, order number: CPZ382718997. About a week or so later I called and reported the entire order which included 3 items damaged on the outside packaging as well as the products themselves. The rep advised me to discard the items and he processed the refund for the 3 items or so he said. About a week or so later I received a refund but for only one item. Over the last two months I have been jacked around, lied too and misled countless times by numerous different reps saying one thing or another and still haven't received my refund for the other two items. I spoke with another rep today who advised me they would not be able to help me in any way due to the return claim now showing as denied but yet when I check my account it still shows as pending as it has for two months now, and supposedly it's denied now because the return was made after the 30 day return policy, which also is a lie because the specifically stated on their homepage returns are allowed up to 90 days which is irrelevant anyway because my return was done a week after I ordered the items, but it Just goes to show the back and forth c*** that they are giving me. Just complete poorest customer service not to mention The hours and hours and days on hold and having to chase them down to complete a simple return that ive already received a portion of.

      I placed an order of a pair of Shock Absorber and Strut Assembly for the price of $168 on Thursday April 27th 2023 I was given the date of delivery of Saturday April 29th 2023. I then received an email saying they would be here the 28th within a couple of hours was sent a second email of delay for Sunday the 30th. Sunday came and went and I received another email of delay for Thursday May 4th. I contacted their customer service via chat on the 30th to cancel my order and refund my money. I was told that they couldnt offer a refund or cancel my order and I would have to wait to eventually receive my items and their return labels, return the product and wait for them to get them and inspect. Once that finally happened I would have to wait **** business days for my financial institution to issue the refund. And for this month long debacle they offered half of the cost of shipping which is a whopping $16. The fact that this company advertises that they have the fastest shipping time is completely false. They attempted to blame it on ***** but offered no other solution to this problem. I cannot afford to just purchase another set and have been without a vehicle for almost a week. And what are the odds that the date has changed yet again and I am forced to wait. This company is completely unprofessional unreliable and definitely guilty of posting severe false advertising. If I could I would return the products and get my money back but I cant afford to. I will NEVER shop this site again and I will NEVER recommend them to anyone!
