      I ordered a rear brake kit for a **** and paid 113$ . They sent me the brake pads only, nothing else was in the box, no rotors or hoses. It's a week later now and they won't let me talk to a real person as they are automated when you call. They show delivered on their website but that's not true, only one part was delivered. Why wouldn't they put it all in one box? They make no sense and make it hard for me to deal with my mechanic because parts geek won't tell me when the rest of my order is coming. Why not just ship my order all together? They are a frustrating business to deal with and no one should ever order car parts from them because they don't know how to make sure the entire order is all together. If you can ship me brake pads, why can't you put the rotors and hoses that go with them in the same box. Ridiculous! I will never understand what they do there all day, I know it's not properly training the people in the shipping department or hiring a real person to answer the phone. I've been scheduled for a call back for two hours and counting.

      On 1/24/25, Ms. ****** placed an order for multiple parts including the item currently in question in this complaint which is SKU: 6512-07012 - 1977 **** 124 Brake Pad and Rotor Kit (Dynamic Friction)
      The items were shipped in a total of two (2) **** Tracking Number, one is ********************** which was delivered on 2/5/25, and the other ********************** which was delivered on 1/31/25.
      Due to the size of the boxes for the Brake Pad and Rotor Kit, it had to be split into two.
      We have sent feedback to our **************** Team regarding the wait times, but these are caused by the volume of the calls at the time Ms. ****** attempted to reach out.

      I have made 2 purchases for a new shift lever for my mustang and they first sent a used part number with the serial numbers scratched off.I immediately called them and they said it was an error and to go ahead and return it and purchase another one.I received the second one today and again, another used item with the serial numbers scratched off.I feel this company is a scam. They sell used items and advertise as new units.They dont give you the option to test it!

      I am rejecting this response because:

      There are too many complaints online regarding the validity of this business.   I returned the item for a final refund and have filed a complaint with the Florida e-commerce attorney general.   I contacted ****** and they advised to file the complaint as their parts are never sold with the serial numbers ground off.

      No one should have to go through this scam.  There are HUNDREDS of complaints with the same type of issue regardless of the part.

      Our **************** Team has been working to resolve this issue with Mr. ******** and we are waiting for the parts to get returned back to us so we can issue a refund.

      As for the issue with the parts received, we have notified our internal teams regarding this and we will be working with our part suppliers to clarify what's happening and to ensure that no used/modified parts are being sent to our customers.

      ********************** stands by the products we sell and if it's proven to be defective or if our customer's receive a part that's not up to spec or standard, we will take them back for a refund.

They are saying now that the sub category was which auto selected says ordered by mistake. The system chose that, not me. They are refusing a refund because of a sub category option and want to send me a part to which I have no idea what type of vehicle it belongs on. This seems to be a scam. 4 charges for ****** was charged to my bank account totaling ******. The duplicate charges i was able to get removed by my bank. This company has the part in hand and refuses a refund because of a word on their form. Which they chose at my request to return

      On 1/13/25, Mr. ******** placed an order for SKU: APCCT514 - 2018 Chevrolet Traverse Catalytic Converter (Autopart Premium), they requested a return on 1/17/25 under "Bought by mistake/ordered wrong" which was issued an RMA Number on the same day.

      The return was opened online through our website, wherein customer's can select the return reason as to why they want to send the part back and Parts Geek has no control over the return reason as our customer's answer a series of questions under a workflow which will then be used to document the return.

      On 1/28/25, our warehouse notified us that they received the return, however, this arrived without the Gaskets included on the package which is why the return was denied.

      We have attached a photo of what the part looks like when it arrived for reference, along with our catalog photo with a highlight of what parts were not included during the return.

      Unfortunately, due to this, we shipped the part back to Mr. ******** as this is incomplete and not in resalable condition.

      As for the additional charge they are seeing on the order, we have confirmed with our accounting team that only 1 charge was billed for this order and if Mr. ******** is seeing unauthorized charges, we recommend them to reach out to their financial institution.

      Again, please accept our apologies for any inconvenience that we may have caused and for the delay in receiving a resolution from our establishment.

      I have attached 3 more photos.  The first photo is showing the part number and manufacture for Parts Geek stating this is for my vehicle.  

       

      Next two pictures I've attached are the manufacture for that part number showing that this is for different vehicles than the company I purchased it through.  It will not fit my car. 

       

      After looking into reviews online of this company they purposely Leave parts missing that way customers can not return the part. 

       

      I received no gasket with the order and it does not go to the car they are selling it as fitting.  It is a scam dealer.  They need to confirm the parts they are selling before someone spends this much money on mystery parts.

      I ordered a part from Parts Geek, but before it was delivered realized that I no longer needed it. Per the company's return recommendations, I accepted the delivery and immediately shipped the item back to Parts Geek. I never opened the package and simply returned the item exactly as delivered. Even though I returned the item in EXACTLY the same unopened packaging without ever opening the package, Parts Geek refused to accept the return, claiming that some small part was missing from the package. Obviously, I would have no way to have removed a part from the package as I never opened it, but I even provided a picture of the package at delivery, showing that is was exactly as returned. It is clear that Parts Geek operated a fraudulent return policy through which they have no intention of accepting valid returns.

      On 1/9/25, Mr. ******** placed an order for SKU: APACS040 - 2013 Land Rover Range Rover Sport Suspension Compressor (Autopart Premium).
      However, they reported on 1/16 that they wish to return the part under "No Longer Needed".
      When it was returned, our warehouse has notated that one of the plastic pieces that come with the part is missing which is an essential part of the suspension compressor (photo attached).
      As such they were denied as our return policy clearly states that everything must be returned to qualify for a refund, however, in good faith with the BBB and Mr. ********* a one-time courtesy refund was issued and should reflect the same payment method used to purchase the part within 2-4 business days.

      I have been ordering parts as a good customer, and typically if I had to return a part there would be no problems.Unfortunately, this company is refusing to refund my money for an unopened and unused part that they have received almost 30 days ago, without explanation.With over 10 calls with customer service, the tell me the same story, "we have reached out to the warehouse." Now, if it was me trying to return a part beyond their policy, they would have every right to not bend, but this is over $300 transaction and return has been done according to their policy and in their time frame; and of course eventually they will just refund me without any inconvenience consideration nor internal adjustments to prevent this to other customers. Where is the internal accountability?I wonder if they maintain their integrity and not manufacturer an excuse to not give me my money back because of this complaint.

      On 1/12/25, ****** ****** placed an order for SKU: *****N (Wai Global) 2021 Jeep Gladiator Alternator.

      This was shipped by our warehouse via ***** **********************, however, it encountered a delay with the carrier and is still currently in transit as of 1/23/25.

      Our team initially reached out to the carrier and is currently conducting a tracer claim.

      When a customer claims they have not received a part, and the shipping provider claims they delivered the part OR is lost in transit, the only thing we can do is start a tracer claim investigation.

      Please be advised that tracer claim investigations may take 7 to 14 business days or more to complete.

      Unfortunately, this is out of our control since the carrier will conduct the actual investigation and we'll have to wait for the results.

      We are closely monitoring this issue and will ensure that we notify ****** ****** once we hear back from the carrier.

      I ordered farts from the company.They detailed it and said that the headlights I ordered would fit my truck after opening the headlights.I found that the connections were different than my truck connections.Therefore I sealed them back up in the box and returned them period. They were never installed and they sent me bogus pictures that showed something that I could not understand maybe scratches. The pictures were very difficult to see. I received an email stating that the warehouse. They sent them back to refuse them. And? They deny me a return of the lights so I could try to sell them or A. Refund, they said they were going to discard them period this company and its employees have no. Remorse on satisfaction of customers and try to believe the customers for something that they did not.I have never had this problem ordering parts with any other company. I think this whole return policy is a scam. ***********.

      Please accept our sincere apologies for failing to provide you with the excellent service you expected from us.
      On 12/16/24, Mr. ******** placed an order for SKU: HLA87408 - 2020 **** F250 Super Duty Headlight Set (TRQ), however, reported on 12/23/24 that they received an incorrect part in which a return was arranged to get it sent back to us for a refund.
      However, during inspection of the said part return, our warehouse notified us that there's a deep scratch on the assembly which prevents us from restocking the part.
      Unfortunately, due to this issue, we had to deny the refund request of Mr. ******************* please accept our apologies for any inconvenience that we may have caused and for the delay in receiving a resolution from our establishment.
