      10/19/24 - Ordered part from merchant total cost $104.16. Same day called to cancel. Also called 10/20 & 10/21. Merchant wouldn't cancel. Received part 10/25 & refused delivery. 11/7/24 - merchant credited $93.25 to my bank acct. I want the full amount of $104.16 since I attempted to cancel order on same day. It didn't ship until days later. Had merchant cancelled when I requested part never would've shipped & I would've received full amount back within a few days!

      On 10/19/24, Ms. ****** placed an order for SKU: NCV47123 (GSP) - 2017 ***** 3 CV Axle Assembly.
      However, they requested the order to be canceled on 10/20 and our team notified Ms. ****** that the order cannot be canceled anymore as it was processed and handed over to the carrier.
      As stated on our website, 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.
      If the request was done an hour from when the order was placed, we would have been able to cancel it, but in the case of Ms. ******** order, we weren't able to stop it.
      In good faith with the BBB and Ms. ******* we're issuing a one-time courtesy refund of the shipping costs associated with this order which should reflect within 2-4 business days.
      Again, please accept our apologies for any inconvenience that we may have caused and for the delay in receiving a resolution from our establishment.

      On 10/3/24, Ms. ********** placed an order for SKU: Y02-085AY02-086 - 2003 **** Explorer Wheel Hub Assembly Set (Replacement) and was shipped via ****** ************ and was confirmed to be delivered to the address on file on 10/8/24 at 1:34 PM.
      Ms. ********** notified us on 10/28 that the part they ordered didn't arrive and they never received the package.
      Our **************** Team immediately initiated a tracer claim with ***** in order to identify where the part was delivered.
      ***** initiated the said investigation under Case Number: C-167632807, however, after going through the investigation it was denied on 11/8/24 as the carrier found that this was delivered to the address on file.
      Unfortunately, Parts Geek is only able to file a claim on our customer's behalf, and if a claim is denied, we no longer have the capability to appeal.
      We informed Ms. ********** of the results as well as the Proof of Delivery and Denial Letter from ***** which is also attached to our response in this BBB Complaint.
      We would suggest that Ms. ********** reach out to their local law enforcement elements to file a police report as this appears to be a possible case of theft.

      Wife Jeep was having lifter and rocker arm issues. Found the 48 peace replacement kit on partsgeek. Placed an order in good faith that our order would be full filled. Order was delivered on 11/04/2024. Noticed the box on my porch was pretty small. Opened it up and realized this was just half of our oder only 12 lifters and 12 rocker arms. Made contact with partsgeek ***, who is made aware that we needed the other 12 rocker arms and 12 lifters asap. Due to being the only vehicle my wife has to drive to work and dropping off our kids at school. She told me that they made a ticket number and would hear from the warehouse in 24-48hrs. Which since I had the address of the supplier on the box. I checked the warehouse supply my self and saw that they were completely out of stock and even cheaper than partsgeek. "*** Auto Parts" is the warehouse. Which partsgeek should of noticed they were out of stock. But my order was allowed to be shipped. So partsgeek put us in a bad spot to continue to drive a vehicle that has lifter and rocker arm damage. It was a nightmare just trying to get them to under stand what I was missing. Once they did, I was told by ***** ****** "PartsGeek Supply Specialists" that it was basically up to the warehouse to respond to the ticket and ship the parts to us. Basically PartsGeek took our money and left us hoping the warehouse would send the 24 peaces we needed. Which they told us after I checked that the parts was out of stock. Something i had to do on my own and that was just a few minutes to do. So now I'm shipping them back and hope we get a full refund of our hard earned money. If you are ordering from them you might wanna think twice about it or go with a website that isn't the middle man. Or you'll be lost wonder where is your order and are you gonna even get a full refund.

      Our team was able to gather information during our interaction with Ms. ****** and a return was set up for the order, unfortunately, when we attempted to request a reshipment from our warehouse, they confirmed that it is not possible since the part is now out of stock.
      A return label was provided and this is going back to us and once received, we will issue a full refund within 3-5 business days.

      Ordered vehicle parts online. Answered all the questions correctly about my vehicle. The parts arrived and they did not fit the vehicle. Researched their return policy to be able to return these wrong parts. It said I needed to request an *** #., which I did. The return instructions with this *** number said all parts must be returned in the original box. The box was pretty well mangled when I received it. It was tossed before I even realized the parts wouldn't fit. Nowhere in their return policy does it say items must be returned in their original box. The first I saw of this was when I received the *** #. Spoke to the original agent and then spoke with her supervisor. The supervisor is standing firm that they will not refund the parts if they are not returned in their original shipping box.

      The return instructions along with the *** Number was issued and on the email sent with the return instructions under #5, it states all parts must be returned in their original box and in resalable condition.
      Unfortunately, since the original manufacturer's box is no longer available, we are unable to accept the part back since this is required in order for us to restock the part.

      I received a wrong product from this company's warehouse, in **************. I contacted the said company complaining about the wrong product, I chatted with ***** ****, for about 10 minutes, and then she started to ask about the Vin of the vehicle, take photos of the packaging, asked if i installed the item, which I did not it was too big. Then more questions and i said so your company doesn't trust their customers? She told me this was all needed to escalate my case. Then i told her i was going to report this problem to the BBB, they she stated she was sending me over to *******, and he said it was my fault and that if i want to return the items, i would have to pay for it to be sent, i told him i was not going to do that and send a complaint into the BBB

      On October 15, 2024, I purchased door molding order number ************ part #***-339 for $133.26 from PartsGeek (******************************). Upon receipt, I noticed the part shipped was defective, it doesn't fit. I would like a full refund of $133.26 and a prepaid return shipping label. The seller is willing to accept the return but refuses to pay for shipping, stating it is not their responsibility. After numerous attempts to try and resolve this issue, I feel I have no other recourse but to lodge a complaint.

      On 10/15/24, Mr. ****** placed an order for SKU: ******* - 2019 **** Transit-250 Door Molding (******).
      They reported that the part didn't fit their vehicle and when their VIN was validated by our team, it showed that they have a 2020 Model which is not compatible with the part.
      Unfortunately, return labels are only provided when the issue itself was caused by Parts Geek, however, since the part purchased was not compatible with their vehicle, the label was not issued.
      This appears to be in transit back to our warehouse, however, as of checking today 10/31/24, there is an active chargeback that is currently open for this transaction and unfortunately, all correspondence and resolution will be coursed through their financial institution and we would not be able to further comment until this transaction is resolved.

      I am rejecting this response because: I submitted a screenshot of my conversation with ****** Products Technical support department. They admitted that they made a mistake in fitment description, left side molding fits the right side and the right side molding fits the left side of the vehicle, regardless of the year, it will not fit Left side of 2019 either.

      We're sorry to hear about Mr. ********** issue with the order that they have.
      Upon further review, this order was placed on 10/16/24 for SKU: 4AQ50688 - 2015 Jeep Grand Cherokee Suspension Strut and Shock Absorber Assembly Kit (Detroit Axle).
      However, after installing the front portion of the kit, they reported on 10/24/24 that the rear portion does not fit their vehicle.
      As stated on our website, for kits/set parts, they need to be sent back in it's entirety and must be in resalable condition (complete and have not been installed and mounted) which is why they were denied by our **************** Team.
      We have reached out to our warehouse to notify them of the issue and confirming if it's possible to accept the part without the front portion of the kit.
      We will update BBB and Mr. ******** once we hear back from them.

      However, on 10/6/24, they requested a return under "Bought by mistake/ordered wrong" and was returned to us via **** 1Z8154WY0332169720.
      This part arrived on 10/14/24, and is currently undergoing inspection and processing before any refund can be issued.
      As stated on our website, How long do part refunds take?
      Most return refunds are processed within 14 business days or less after the warehouse receives them back. Some refunds may take longer. Credit card refunds may take up to 2-5 business days to show up on your statement AFTER we process the credit. This is beyond our control. All refunds are applied in the same manner you paid (e.g., if you paid with a check, you will receive a check refund). You should receive an e-mail the day your refund is processed.
      We will update Ms. ***** once the refund has been issued.
      Again, please accept our apologies for any inconvenience that we may have caused and for the delay in receiving a resolution from our establishment.
