I ordered a vented gas cap for my **** galaxie, however they shipped me two gascaps and charged me for both however they are not vented as was plainly written in the description. It's not the money it's the flagrant lie and deception on their part. Beware of doing business with a company that will cheat someone out of thirty five dollars because they will cheat everyone.

I am rejecting this response because:a shipping label was created on 4/4 but was not dropped of at the post office until 4/7. Then the package came and it wasnt even boxed up. Just bubble wrapped with a shipping label and destroyed. And now more of my time and money is being wasted. You failed on properly packaging the shippment and then lied about when you shipped it. Poor business ethics. This needs taken care of

I ordered a part for my car on 3/19/25. I never received the part. I filed a claim a couple of times and have had zero response other than the warehouse is checking. I simply want my money refunded of $97.09 for the part I never received. I have tried calling multiple times and can not get through. I do believe this is some sort of scam. I have never had customer service so poor.Business Response

On 4-04-2025 I ordered a set of car wheel bearings, they arrived today, 4-09-2025, they were left at my house. The boxes they came in were wrapped in clear package *********** tape. The box looked a bit chewed up (I don't know how else to describe it). Ok. I opened it up & there was damage on the one, as I pulled the tape off of the other box, it was chewed as well with damage to that item as well. I called immediately and was on hold for 1hour & 17 minutes. Didn't get anywhere. I went on the web site to return, and it would not continue. I tried again, my wife tried (she's better with computers than me) , and still nothing worked. The phone didn't work & I couldn't get a return number from them, I don't know what else to do. thank you.Business Response

A return request was received by Parts Geek on 4/9/25 regarding the parts they received that were damaged and upon receipt, an RMA Number was issued so the part can be sent back for refund.
As of today 4/14/25, this is still in transit via **** 1ZB3692J0318410666 and will arrive on 4/14/25 and once received, this will undergo inspection and processing before a refund can be issued.

A feedback was sent to our warehouse and partner carriers to ensure any similar issues do not happen again.
As for the delay in someone answering our hotline, due to an increased number of calls we're receiving at this time, there might be an increased wait time before our representatives over the phone can assist customers, but we assure them that calls are handled in the manner they are received.

When I ordered this on Monday April 7th, it said it would be delivered on the 9th or 10th. I paid for expedited shipping and the status of this is still unavailable. I tried calling them 6 times but all you get is an automated menu which I left my number on to be called back twice with no call backs. I emailed them 3 times. I finally got ahold of someone in live chat on their site that told me I couldnt get my money back because one hour from me placing the order it gets boxed. Well if its boxed isnt it ready to be shipped? I just want my money back and theyre telling me no for false information.Business Response

I am rejecting this response because: its bad enough to be put through the hassle of. Poor communication from every point! Businesses need to be held accountable for the negative impact they create! Every statement made is in their favor! They want everything, but give nothing! The day I place the order, Parts Geek made three actions on my bank. 1 was a fee for $1. And the second was the TOTAL AMOUNT for the part, the third was a -$1. Not once was it stated that Parts Geek was doing this action! But here it is, consumers have to play the companys wait for partial refunds when the companies feel like it! Give my money back as fast as you took it Parts Geek! Youve stressed and stretched this out too much already!!!

*Bought a new CV axle with a ****** mile warranty. * Immediately out of the box could tell it was used. Contacted for a replacement. They refused to send a replacement and wanted me to send this part back first. *Had to buy a CV axle locally so I could send this back. You can't drive a car without a CV axle. *Parts Geek refuses to pay for return shipping of defective item. To recap they sold me a used part when I paid for a new one. They won't warranty replace it despite it being under warranty. They won't cover shipping for me to send part back. I was forced to buy a second part.

On 12/6/24, Mr. ***** placed an order for SKU: 1700-684719 - API - 2016 *** Optima CV Axle Assembly, they opened a return request on our website on 3/28/25 stating "It was fine at first but now it vibrates at high speed and pops. Less than 3 months installed less than ***** miles." under "Warranty Claim", but there was no mention of the part appearing to be used which is why an RMA Number was issued.
As the parts were installed and used and is already outside of our 30-day period from when this was purchased, we won't be able to issue a return label for it and our customer would have to shoulder the shipping costs going back to us.
As stated on our website, If your part is found to be defective you will receive a full refund. All replacement items must be re-purchased. We do not send out free replacements.

I am rejecting this response because: the part says it has a ****** mile warranty and it doesn't even have 1000 miles on it. Therefore this part is under warranty and should be replaced as such. In addition, they want me to remove the part which means I have to buy a new one first and then pay to return the part myself and wait while they decide if they are refunding. A ****** mile warranty is a ****** mile warranty. End of story. It's under advertised warranty and needs to be replaced as such.

I am rejecting this response because:
I believe that their web site was not clear. For example I entered all my card info as they requested so I was under the impression that the parts that was displayed for me to choose from fit my car. I trusted that I had the right parts while I looked for a pro to install them. My parts were severed install still in the box in the trunk of my car. Not fair !! I feel like parts geek stole my money! Not fair !! Now Im using another vendor and I get to pay twice! Not fair !! Very bad customer experience and the **** spoke down to me !
