      Back on December 26th 2022 I ordered parts from ************* The parts were delivered on *** **** ** ******* ******* When I received the parts they were delivered in an Heavy Duty Envelope. When the Delivery Driver delivered the envelope he told me that it was ripped open and had wheel mark on the envelope. When I opened the envelope I pulled out one of the parts. It was find so I installed it. When I pulled out the second one it was destroyed. It looked like it was run over. I instantly called ********* The lady that I was dealing with was located in the ************ She took all my info and processed my claim. I asked her what she wanted me to do with the damaged one? I told her I'd send her a picture. I was told it was not necessary. I asked her if they were going to send me a return shipping label. She said no, just through it away. That's what I did. I NEVER heard back from ********* On January 5th I called ******** again to inquire about my replacement part. Again they took all my info. They sent me an email showing a ticket order. Week later no parts still. I just called again ******** Now I'm getting the runaround. NOW they are telling me that they need permission to process my claim. I cannot put the car back together until I receive the part.

      I purchased an oil filter housing from carparts.com. The Part failed causing the engine to seize. I read on the National Highway Traffic Safety administration website about the recall of the defective part. On December 23, 2021, my partner **************** was driving the car on the highway, the vehicle made a weird noise, the oil light blinked once, and the vehicle stopped working right after it, without any previous warning. While waiting for AAA to tow the vehicle, she noticed a puddle of oil on the pavement (please see pictures attached). I email the company on September 25, 2022, about this issue and haven't received a response. Since then, my partner has called them, was told by the agent someone was going to follow up, but they have not done it yet. We feel the company should take responsibility for selling the defective part that caused the engine to seize and offer a refund for the costs of the engine purchased and labor fees for the replacement. Carparts.com order number ************ on 09/18/2021. Part number *********, Oil Filter Housing adapter with oil cooler 3.6L. Vehicle is a 2014 Cherokee trail hawk. The cost of used engine $956.25, plus labor cost to replace it $2,300.00, total cost of $3,256.25. We thank you for your assistance in this matter.

      I placed an order on November 26th for a control arm for my car.. The website stated that I would receive the part no later than the 29th of November, it also stated that if I paid through ****** I would be billed in 4 interest free installments. Based on this information I used ****** to complete my purchase but was charged in full not in installments. On the morning of November 28th at 9:25am I received a email stating that my order had been shipped with a updated delivery date of November 28th by the end of the day. "The item never shipped." On November **** the item still had not been shipped. I contacted customer service expressed concern and requested a refund. The rep placed me on hold and said she checked and could see that my order had been placed on the delivery truck earlier in the day. She told me not to worry, my package had been shipped but the tracking update was ******* and I should receive my package by the end of the day. Because the package had shipped, they could not issue a refund. The rep also said because of the confusion she would refund my shipping and give an additional *** discount because I was not billed In installments as the website promised she assured me my package would arrive by the end of the day. The item never arrived and tracking still shows carrier does not have receipt of the package. At this stage it feels like this company is playing games with their customers and instructing the customer service reps to lie about delivery and refund options. *************** warehouse is only 45 miles from ******** I offered to drive out to pick the part up but was told that was not possible and I was reassured that my part was on the delivery truck and would arrive by the end of the day.

      I placed an order with ************ on Thursday, November 17, 2022, for a fuel pump for my 2007 Mazda 3 and the only reason I chose to buy the part through this company was because they promised to have it delivered here by Saturday, November 19, 2022 via FedEx. I paid an extra *** for the express 2 day shipping because Saturday was the only day that I had off work to be able to fix the car and it was imperative that I got the part on that day. I then get an email from ************ saying that my shipment is delayed until Monday, November 21, 2022. Then when I get my tracking info from FedEx and track my order, it says it is delayed until Tuesday, November 22, 2022. At this point I'm pretty frustrated so Friday night I email ************ customer service explaining to them the inconvenience this has caused me and told them that I wanted my extra *** I paid for express shipping since they obviously couldn't follow through on getting my part here on Saturday, like I was absolutely depending on. I got an automated response back saying a customer representative will respond to me shortly but it's now Sunday and I've yet to hear back from anyone. The last thing I wanted to do was have to file a complaint with the BBB, when all I was asking for was the *** I paid for a speedy delivery. If I'd known this delivery issue was going to come up, I would have just went ahead and paid the same *** for the fuel pump on Rock Auto, who I've ordered from in the past with no issues, for the same wait time that I'm having to wait now anyway and saved myself the extra money I spent on ************ for "express shipping". I just want my shipping costs refunded.

      I ordered a part for my vehicle from carparts.com using their online order form from my phone (double checking that I had all payment and shipment information entered correctly). After receiving the tracking information from their shipper, GLS, I saw that they listed the incorrect zip code. I also noted that the shipper claims to have priority shipping in a number of states, but it does not list *********, where I live. I clicked the link in the email from GLS to inform them that the shipping zip code was not correct. They sent a reply that did not acknowledge my email, but it simply stated that my package was out for delivery and would be delivered by 5 pm. I then reached out to carparts.com via a link in their order confirmation email to let them know that the zip code their system generated for my order was incorrect (even though I entered the correct zip code when ordering). They're response was that I should reach out to GLS to correct the address. I replied that I had, but that they didn't acknowledge the issue. I asked that they help me, because I had attempted everything I could. They said they'd reach out, but that I would need to agree to pay $19.50 to GLS for an address correction fee. I refuse to pay for a mistake that carparts.com created, and I question if there is a scheme being pulled by these organizations to get me to pay more. My goal had been to resolve this issue and get ahead of it by notifying them that they had an error on their end, and I gave them the info they needed to correct it. However, they not only didn't fix it, they told me I was going to have to pay a third the cost of the total order to resolve the problem they created. I really need the part ASAP (I can't drive my vehicle without it), so I will most likely need to order it from elsewhere and will most likely need to dispute this with my credit card company and waste more of the time I don't have to deal with this.

      (The consumer indicated he/she DID NOT accept the response from the business.)
      I alerted CarParts.com of a problem with online ordering that occurred on their end, and I tried to resolve the issue both with them and the shipping company they hired to deliver the product.

      Rather than simply accepting that their system generated an incorrect zip code and fixing the issue, CarParts.com told me I would need to pay the shipping company (1/3 of the product price) for the correction.

      I said I would not pay for their mistake and that they needed to fix their online ordering form so that their system does not override the zip code entered by the customer (as appears to have been the case given that I double checked my address and payment info before submitting the order). Their response was that I entered the info incorrectly.

      The refund they initiated is fine, but the fact that they don't care to fix the issue that landed me filing a complaint with the BBB has not been addressed, so I cannot accept the response from the business.

      To CarParts.com:
      Please look into your online payment systems to verify that information your customers submit on your portal is accurate. Also, when a customer lets you know about a problem with your system with the intent of notifying you so you can try to fix it, don't repeatedly blame them!!! This infuriates them and makes them go to the BBB to file a complaint. I am only trying to help you improve your business.

      A satisfactory response from you would be that you are actually making an effort to make sure your online order form correctly receives, stores, and reports customer input.

      Carparts.com said they are taking actions to avoid incidents like this in the future. Without the details on how they'll fix the issue, I will assume they won't blame customers for technology glitches on their end and then telling the customer they need to pay money to overcome the glitch.

      On 10-23-22, I purchased auto parts from ************* The parts were never delivered. When asked about the parts, carparts provided delivery photos that were not my address.

    BBB Business Profiles are provided solely to assist you in exercising your own best judgment. BBB asks third parties who publish complaints, reviews and/or responses on this website to affirm that the information provided is accurate. However, BBB does not verify the accuracy of information provided by third parties, and does not guarantee the accuracy of any information in Business Profiles.

    When considering complaint information, please take into account the company's size and volume of transactions, and understand that the nature of complaints and a firm's responses to them are often more important than the number of complaints.

    BBB Business Profiles generally cover a three-year reporting period, except for customer reviews. Customer reviews posted prior to July 5, 2024, will no longer be published when they reach three years from their submission date. Customer reviews posted on/after July 5, 2024, will be published indefinitely unless otherwise voluntarily retracted by the user who submitted the content, or BBB no longer believes the review is authentic. BBB Business Profiles are subject to change at any time. If you choose to do business with this company, please let them know that you checked their record with BBB.

    As a matter of policy, BBB does not endorse any product, service or business. Businesses are under no obligation to seek BBB accreditation, and some businesses are not accredited because they have not sought BBB accreditation. BBB charges a fee for BBB Accreditation. This fee supports BBB's efforts to fulfill its mission of advancing marketplace trust.
