“Trailer mirrors”

Douglas G.
9/29/24

The mirrors did not stay on the self adhesive foot pads and after you get the mirror in the proper position you have to crank them down really tight and once you want to release the tension you end up using a large screw driver to pry them loose-don't know how long they will last under that condition-second time I have used them-quite pricy-I like them when in use.

“No help whatsoever”

Ordered part. Didn't fit. CARiD says it's correct, but it's not. Wanted to return for full refund but was told about restocking fee and shipping fee, basically only getting $10 back on a $60 part that clearly did not fit...never again!

Not only you do not know at the time of purchase what is the estimated shipping or delivery date but even after you make a purchase they do not care at all to provide you with any time frame for your order! I have communicated via online chat with their customer service 4 times and 3 times I was promised certain shipping date together with ETA (understood that transit might take time) but even after those tries I was never provided with any tracking number and they could not even tell me what is the status of my order. Only the last online chat talked about approximate dates which is just a gimmick to politely tell you that you going to wait instead of days probably months. I have also called them about 3 times and they could never provide me with any status of my order! I mean just tell me what am I facing, days, weeks or months? Just horrible ignorance and incompetence! So after all of this theater and phone calls, on the 9th day they had just sent me an email with my order being cancelled. Absolutely unprofessional and really gimmick company when you do not even know when your order might arrive. DO NOT DEAL WITH THIS COMPANY!
Now I am waiting for my refund which apparently might take up to 5 business days... really? Hmm just a gimmick company!

Tip for consumers:
Do not buy from carid.com , just save you the headache!

AWFUL customer service. Website doesn't let you cancel orders. Set me item I didn't want. Parts DO NOT fit cars. I bought a hood for my car and the website SELECTED it for my specific car and it DIDN'T FIT. Then I wasn't allowed to return it. AWFUL.

Tip for consumers:
STAY AWAY

Dear Landon P.,

We appreciate your time taken to leave this feedback as we review each and every posting submitted by our customers. We understand your frustration and it's really sad that you had such first experience with our company. Looking into your account we found out that you had ordered the universal product. All the items of this sort are having standard dimensions so you need to get a proper measurements before ordering to make sure that item is intended to fit your vehicle.

We didn't have enough time to cancel the order as the product has been shipped earlier unfortunately. In this case neither we nor a manufacturer responsible for shipping costs concerning freight package deliveries however we do always cover return shipping for ground deliveries.

We still hope that you will get back to us to purchase some products in the future so you can have the best experience with the online seller.
If you like to discuss the entire situation with our dedicated specialist or you have any questions please do not hesitate to reply to this comment.
Thanks a lot for your time as we understand how it's valuable nowadays!

Sincerely,
Consumer Relations Department at CARiD.com

You've been warned - stay away from this company. I originally placed my order on July 17 with a July 24 ship date. July 24 came and went, no shipment. I contacted them and they gave me Aug 1 as a new ship date. Aug 1 came and went. Then the ship date changed to Aug 4. Aug 4 came and went. It's now Aug 8 and they still can't give me an updated status when I contacted them today. DO NOT DO BUSINESS WITH THIS HORRIBLE, HORRIBLE COMPANY. YOU WILL REGRET IT.

Verified purchase

I ordered an exhaust system from Carid on April 12th. The site said it would ship the next day, but my confirmation email said it wouldn't ship until early May. I waited patiently. It was finally shipped on May 5th. Almost 2 weeks later, I finally received it, or so I thought, about May 18th. A few days later I went to install and when we opened the box, we realized it was the wrong system. I called Carid and was told I would get an email telling me what information and pictures they needed to initiate a return from the manufacturer. I answered that email same day. It is now 3 weeks, 3 phone calls and a "chat"(where I was rudely disconnected. Great customer service, huh?)later, and I'm STILL waiting. Each time I get the same script about not being able to contact the manufacturer and please give them a few more days. ITS BEEN 3+ WEEKS after waiting over a month for what I ordered. I didn't pay my money to the manufacturer, I paid it to Carid. I recommend very strongly that you find the parts you need somewhere else. They don't sell anything that you can't find on many other sites.

Tip for consumers:
Don't use this site.

Still waiting for what I ordered. I want what I ordered, not a refund.

Dear Shermin,

Thank you for sharing your experience with our store.

We are extremely sorry to know you are not satisfied with our cancellation procedure.

From what i see, you were informed that the cancellation is not guaranteed, as the shipping date was set on the same day and cancellation request usually takes 24-48 business hours to be processed.

Please, check your email inbox for details and additional compensation offered for the inconveniences caused.

Looking forward to your answer!

Sincerely,

Dear Jay,

Please accept our apologies for the situation with your order, and for the frustrating experience you had.

We would appreciate an opportunity to improve your experience and show you that this is not the way we usually work.

All changes to the existing orders are done manually to avoid system errors, yet it take more time and that is why our team asks for 24-48 business hours to complete such change.
We are unable to guarantee shipping address chenge if the product's shipping date is set on the same day or the following one as sometimes products are shipped faster than expected.

Please, email me directly at mila.pa@carid.com with your order details and I will assist you further as well as offer compensation for the inconveniences caused.

Looking forward to your response!

Sincerely,
Consumer Relations Department at CARiD.com.
