I had ordered a set of taillights for my '09 **** Focus on December 21, 2024 and it said they were delivered on December 26, 2024, of which, I have yet to receive them. I have checked multiple times with my post office and they have not received it. I tried calling your support number twice, the first time it went straight to voice mail and the second time they, I got ahold of someone who then promptly rerouted me to an extension that didn't exist so the call ended. I need those parts as I have been pulled over twice for broken taillights and I need them fixed. I want a refund so I can get them elsewhere.Business Response

I ordered a passenger side mirror for my car. It took me a while to get around to replacing it but when I opened the box, the mirror was for a drivers side. I had disassembled the mirror assembly and the internal mating components were not the appropriate size so the mirror would not have fit even if it was the passenger side. When I reported my issue to customer service, the representative told me that they would not facilitate a refund after the 30 day window. I specifically paid more for this part on this website assuming they were a reputable seller. After this transaction I am sure they are not. Sending incorrect and deficient parts is a fault on the seller regardless of the return period.Business Response

I ordered a catylic converter on car ************************** which was advertised for a 3L engine ******** SRX 2011 model. After receiving the order it is actually made for a 5.4L engine which the make and model does not even produce. When messaging with customer service for an exchange or refund, I was denied with no explanation other than it was past the return window. I am not requesting a return and believe this is car ************************** fault for not properly advertising the part which they sell.Business Response

I am rejecting this response because you hide behind your 30 day policy knowing that the average person is not able to identify if a part is damaged or incorrect without taking it to a mechanic to help them. This part used FALSE ADVERTISING and its pathetic a company this big cannot do anything other thenrepeat the same outdated policy that they use to **** their customers. Partial refund should be issued as the description of the part clearly stated it was for the make and model mentioned and the correct ending size. The part was not even received until close to 20 days past ordering so I was supposed to get it to the mechanic within a week and get this resolved? That wouldve been nearly impossible as a normal human being. Sad how this company is abusing people. I will be making further reviews and spreading the word to never order parts from this company as they are scammers that hide behind a return policy instead of helping make things right for their own s**** up.

Purchase made on May 15 2024. On May 25th I made the company aware that I ordered two door handles, but only received one. They responded on the 26th that the two handles were shipped separately for some inexplicable reason. I then followed up again on 10/5/24 to let them know that the part never arrived and the shipping still shows "shipped" but not delivered. Their customer service team then refused to compensate or deliver the part because it was too late to make a claim. I am simply asking for them to re-send another door handle which is less than $10.Business Response
