    I ordered 2 parts from Carparts.com. They said that the shipping would be 2-3 business days. It's going on 6 business days now, one part got here 2 business days later. (I was impressed) the other one is going to be delivered by a different company on the 9th business day. The response from the customer service agent? "Yes, that's our shipping policy, that it'll be shipped out 1-2 days later, and will get to you by 9 business days later. Refer to our policies." ... I responded that that's precisely why I didn't choose the 7-day shipping. "I'm sorry that YOU were confused," was the only response. In other words, THE CUSTOMER IS NOT RIGHT ON THIS SITE. I would NEVER recommend them - I could have gotten my parts from another website that I've worked with before, with 3- to 5-day shipping, for $3 more. It definitely would have been worth it.

    I ordered a couple of headlights on a Saturday evening. Lo and behold, I saw a better one they had on the same website. When I tried to cancel my original order, I was told it was already getting ready for shipping 15 minutes after I placed it. Their solution was for me to place a new order for the headlights I wanted and return the first order I placed when I received it. I would however lose 10% for restocking fee. I would have to pay for the return shipping and it would take up to 30 days to get my refund. They could not just simply cancel the order. Worst customer service I have seen in a while. Oh! And the order that was "getting ready to be shipped" hasn't left their warehouse 3 days later. Stupid Carparts.com.

    After placing an order for a much needed item, we waited and tracked the item. Turns out they shipped the item to Indiana instead of New Jersey. That being said, the shipping and handling cost were very expensive for a fairly cheap and small item. My wife called and asked what was going on and remind them that this was an emergency. We got a call center overseas and a young woman who told my wife that she gave the wrong shipping info. Of course this angered my wife because we got 2 confirmation emails showing we sent the proper address. The young woman then said my wife should call FedEx and figure out what went wrong.

    My wife told her it was the Carparts.com who messed up and they should call. The woman then said to my wife, "Don't talk to me like that and tell me what to do." Well, of course, my wife got infuriated and demanded a manager and put me on the phone before she blew up. Did I get a manager? No! I got another young lady claiming to be a supervisor and she said there were no managers there. This was after a 30minute hold time. While speaking with this young woman and explaining everything that went on including the bad service of the first person, she kept saying nothing to help the situation, but only that she can check things the next day and investigate. Mind you, we still need the product.

    I gave many options. I said I didn't want to try to take them for a ride, please just resend the item, expedite it, refund my shipping and handling since they messed up and keep the cost of the product. She didn't want to do that because she thought the product wasn't really sent to Indiana and maybe FedEx sent the wrong tracking number. She would accept no solution until I said give me my money back. This was over a 2-hour conversation. She got so upset that I would let her do what she wanted to do. Yet she couldn't understand the fact that they had My Money and now My Product lost in the wilderness. So she started crying over the phone and refunded the money.

    The next day I sent an email to the company explaining all of this. Their simple answer was "sorry for the problem, you got your money back so you should be fine, please leave feedback in this survey." An obvious, form letter that was never looked in to by a manager. Not to mention, I Still Want And NEED the Product. I would have expected a personal apology with some options to rectify the issue. Such as either them shipping out another item for free and expedite it, or ship another item for the cost minus the shipping and handling and still expedited. They offered Nothing. Bad company with a call center staff not trained to handle situations like this. Also a management staff who doesn't care enough to send a personal letter and fix the situation. It is understandable that this is most likely a drop ship type of company. But in order to avoid bad reviews such as this, they really need to step up and be willing to fix problems like this.

    Here is the conversation I had online with CARPARTS.COM.. Customer service?

    11:21:51 AM EST Ronald: Hi, my name is Ronald. Thank you for contacting us. How may I assist you today?
    11:22:09 AM EST Bryan: Hey Ronald.. can you please update me on the order status.. **
    11:22:57 AM EST Ronald: Please wait a moment I will transfer to customer service department. They will assist you regarding your concern.
    11:23:22 AM EST Lorgie: I read your chat with our previous agent and I am happy to assist you with that. Bryan, as per checking your order, we are now just waiting for tracking number to be issued by our warehouse. Once tracking number is updated it will be forwarded to your email also so you can track it as well. For ground shipping, please allow us 2-9 business days to process and deliver your order.
    11:24:55 AM EST Bryan: If this takes 2-9days before I ships.. I really want a refund.. I cannot wait two weeks for this to arrive
    11:25:12 AM EST Lorgie: Be advised that this order was placed yesterday. Allow us 24-48 business hours to process your order and you will be notified via email once the order ships out. I understand Sir but 2-9 business days includes processing and delivery day. Most probably this part will be ship out tomorrow.
    11:27:21 AM EST Bryan: If I would have ordered this from JC Whitney, it would have shipped same day and I would have it tomorrow.. not shipping tomorrow.. I'm not pleased with this service.
    11:27:42 AM EST Lorgie: Would there be anything else that I can help you with?
    11:28:06 AM EST Bryan: No but I won't be doing any more business with your company, since you don't seem to be able to meet my needs today

    11:28:17 AM EST Lorgie: Alright. Don't hesitate to chat with us again if you need anything else. Have a good day! Bye for now. Thanks.

    Pretty awful experience..

    I ordered a part, and about 15 minutes later, I realized it was the wrong sub model. I immediately called to cancel my order. They said they couldn't cancel it as the warehouse had already marked it as sent. In 15 minutes? Then they said to wait until I received it to call for a return. Now they are charging me shipping (both ways) and a restocking charge. I will NEVER use this "company" again. They are cheats!

    I ordered parts from their website on a Friday night after a breakdown on the road, thinking I had ordered the right parts. On Saturday, when I could look at the car, I found the parts I ordered were not the right ones. I got on their online chat and told the person I had to cancel the order. I was told there was no one in customer service and I would have to call on Monday. I was sent an email that my order was received, but could not be billed. I called on Monday to cancel the order... I was told they would try to cancel the order... TRY??? Well, the parts arrived 4 days later, and now I get customer service and they tell me they will take the parts back, but I have to pay shipping, and 10% restocking fee. I told them that if there was a way to cancel the order on their website, this could have been avoided... I'll pay the shipping, but not the 10% restocking. That seems to have been disregarded by them because they sent me an RMA number with a restocking fee.

    I am going to send the parts back and never order from them again. I have found many posts of problems with this company on the web... too bad I didn't find them sooner... I have learned my lesson. I'll stick with the companies I use now (and I compared prices and my usual company is cheaper anyway). Carparts.com... you suck!

    Oh, where to start? The part was defective, customer service is horrible, there’s lie after lie, and they will not issue a refund. I am about to give up after 3 months of calls and emails. What a bunch of jerks. I wish I had read the other bad reviews!

    I purchased a transmission form Chavez Used Auto Parts for a 1999 Honda Accord, 4 cylinder engine. As soon as I filled out the order slip, they took the money out of my account and then it took them over a week to ship it to me. Upon receiving my order between them and UPS, some of the parts on my transmission was broken. I had to order a shifting solenoid which I paid $292 and the only thing they offered to give me $150. Then I paid a technician $700 to remove my old transmission and install the new one. Now the transmission still don't work properly. It won't go in second gear and it won't down shift when I come to a stop.

    I also filed a compliant with UPS and they did a investigation over the phone but I can't get any answers from them either because I was the receiver when I'm the person that paid for the shipping. Frank is now telling me to send the transmission back and they will give me back my money that I paid for it. But I have to pay the technician to remove it and also pay for the shipping again. I feel that they should pay to have someone to just fix the transmission being they didn't properly Dyno test the transmission. I'm a soldier in the US Army with a family to feed and I don't have the money to keep going back and forth with them. The part suppose to have a 30-day warranty and was also supposed to be in excellent condition. Please help me resolve this issue because I'm ready to go to JAG and get a lawyer to take care of this problem.

    I ordered a rear window regulator and a right rear window regulator from Shemies Co. LLC. They deducted $200 from my debit card about three or four weeks ago, and didn't send me anything. They removed the address, so I can't find a phone number to complain. Would you help me? My name is Ernie **. My number is **. I would appreciate any help you can give. Thank you.

    We ordered a part a couple of weeks ago after having been told the part was in stock and would be delivered by a certain date. It took three calls (wasting a total of 2 hours of my life) to finally get to a point where I needed to cancel the order.

    First, they said they just upgraded their system and that the new and old systems don't totally talk to each other (not the consumer's fault) but the part was on its way, although no tracking number could be found. Next, they still couldn't find the tracking number, the part hadn't been sent because the part wasn't in stock (We would not have ordered the part if they had told us it wasn't in stock). It just feels like they tell you want you want to hear and when that doesn't work, they lie

    Like others, due to an item which was out of stock and on backorder, I cancelled my order online AND over the phone with a company representative. Nevertheless, the company went ahead and charged my card and shipped the unwanted item to me. This is just unacceptable and a HUGE waste of time and energy for me, for my credit card company and, ultimately for CarParts.com. I guess they hope that if they make cancellation difficult enough, people won't bother to follow up and will just let the charge sit on their credit card. I am so pissed at this company right now!

    I ordered parts for my car at carparts.com. They changed my order without my approval, sent me a cheaper part without refund. They also recommended me to buy two parts instead of one but again did not refunded my sipping expenses. They do not bother to answer to my mailes.


    Carparts.com overcarged me $22.68
