I purchased a replacement valve cover for my 2014 *** 328d (part number 3-04-25) from Parts Geek LLC for a total of $195.59, including shipping. I received the part on the 7th and took it to the shop for installation on the 8th, only to find out that it was the wrong part. Technically, it would fit, but its missing a component called a PCV heater. On the 2014 model and older, this was a standard feature, whereas for the 2015 model and newer, it became part of an optional package. I confirmed this with *** of **************The part was inaccurately listed, and installing it would trigger the check engine light, among other potential issues. The part is 100% unused, but the box it came in was disposed of during the installation attempt. Parts Geek LLC has told me to send the part back but has also stated that they cannot guarantee a ********* reaching out for help because I feel this situation is unfair. Through no fault of my own, Im now out the $195.59 I spent on the part and shipping, as well as the labor costs at the shop. Thank you for your attention to this matter.Business Response

On 3/4/25, Mr. ****** placed an order for SKU: 2000-718521 - 2014 *** 328d Valve Cover (API), but reported on 3/10/25 that they received an incorrect part and wanted to initiate a return, however, during our team's conversation with Mr. ******* they mentioned that they already disposed of the manufacturer's box.
For part returns including incorrect parts, we accept returns, however, they must be in resalable condition which means it must be complete and unused which includes the manufacturer's box.
As this is no longer available, we are unable to accept the part back for return.

On 3/8/25, Mr. ********* placed an order for SKU: 104-2423 - 2019 ********** Mirage Transmission Mount (**** Arnley) which they requested to be canceled within an hour of the purchase.
While our policy states, Can I Cancel My Order?
We do not accept order cancellations because we often package products within an hour of ordering which is why we don't have the ability to cancel orders. We begin the order process as soon as the order is placed, our team was able to work with the warehouse to stop the shipment of the product and we can confirm that this has been canceled.

I placed an order with Parts Geek for an *** Delphi fuel pump for my 2002 ***** S10 2WD Regular Cab 4.3L (Order #************). Before purchasing, I spoke with a representative to ensure I was selecting the correct part, as I specifically wanted original equipmenteither Delphi or AC Delco.

Instead of receiving the *** Delphi fuel pump that I paid for, Parts Geek sent me a cheaper, incorrect fuel pump that costs half the price of what I originally ordereda completely unacceptable substitution.For two days, I attempted to reach customer service via phone but received no response or callback. Frustrated, I returned to their online chat, only to be met with a representative who offered no solutions to resolve the issue. Despite their mistake, they have made no effort to correct it, provide a refund, or even acknowledge their ******** this point, I expect an immediate resolutioneither the correct *** Delphi fuel pump as originally ordered or a full refund, including any shipping costs due to their failure to deliver the correct product. If this issue is not promptly addressed, I will escalate the matter by:1.Filing a dispute with my payment provider I expect a prompt response and resolution to this issue. If Parts Geek is unable to provide the exact part I ordered, I will accept nothing less than a full refund.Business Response

We received a report from Mr. ****** that they did not receive the package on 2/28 and after confirming the usual steps of checking within the vicinity, neighbors, and the carrier and still can't locate it, we reached out to our warehouse to request a tracer claim from the carrier.
A tracer claim is a process where the carrier starts an investigation to follow the tracks of the package on where it was scanned, locations it went through, as well as the where the final delivery location is which Parts Geek does not have any control over as it's being handled by **** themselves.
On 3/1/25, the investigation concluded and the ************** (****) confirmed this was delivered to the address on file.
Unfortunately, once a claim is denied, we can no longer appeal the decision.

I ordered a part from there that was supposed to arrive within a week and I was supposed to be charged when the item shipped. They created a shipping label on 2/28/25 and charged my card but did not actually give the item to the carrier. It has been over a week and the item is still not with the carrier. They have refused to cancel and every time I point out the delay and that they charged me they say they have 5 business days, then 7, then 10, then 12 business days, giving themselves more and more time. Additionally they keep saying the order is "too far along" when really it hasnt left the warehouse. Should they ship it to me I then have to pay all return shipping costs and their restocking fee for an item they failed to supply me in the manner they said they would. Many other people online report similar experiences and recieving broken parts. My mistake for not researching more their issues as they clearly have many. I have put a claim in with my bank to stop payment as well. I just want the order cancelled and to not have more hassle and cost associated with their issues.Business Response

Mr. **** reached out to us on 3/5/25 to report that they still have not received the package.

I am rejecting this response because:
You purposefully delayed responding to me and cancelling the order, I still have not received the package you are claiming you sent. You did that so you can try and either send me bad parts as you have a history of doing per online research and blame it on me, or make me pay a restocking fee of 15% and both delivery fees. You purposefully engineered this situation so you can profit off of doing nothing at my expense both directly to you and through payments to delivery carriers. I informed you earlier today that I never received the package and you are yet to follow up. This is a scam.

We're sorry that Mr. **** does not agree with the explanation we provided for this complaint.
As mentioned in our previous response, ground orders take up to 7 business days to get delivered and since it was handed over to the carrier, we can no longer cancel the order.
The order arrived on the 7th of March which is within the 7 business day period.
If Mr. **** wishes to receive a refund, they can follow the return instructions we provided via email.
Unfortunately, it appears that Mr. **** has initiated a chargeback with their financial institution which prevents us from further commenting on this complaint and we ask that Mr. **** directly coordinate with their financial institution for updates and resolution to the issue.
