“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!

Another company only interested in MONEY. NO customer service here. I was charged over $200 dollars in shipping and had to pay the delivery company a COD charge. This company is just a middle man, no practicle use for them, go directlly to the company who manufatures what you need.
The carid site also does not allow disgruntaled customers to post reveiws. A TERRIBLE AMERICAN CORPORATION!

Carid C. – CARiD Rep

Dear Client,

Thank you for your review.

Our goal is to provide the best service and prices across the Internet. If you found a product on another website for less, let us know and we will check on the best deal for you. No rush there though. We will be glad to honor the price match within one year of the purchase.

However, there are a few important things to keep in mind:

Price match cannot be combined with other promotional offers.
Price match does not include applicable sales tax for NJ residents.

Some exclusions do apply:

Erroneous price listings.
Sales or Promotional Offers.
Liquidations.
Items from auction sites or membership clubs.
Employee discounts.
Wheels and Tires.

If the item you have found on other source meets the above, please provide me with the direct link to the item on the competitor's website. Once I get the link, I will check on the price match and get back to you with the quote in 24-48 business hours.

I look forward to your reply at alison.rh@carid.com!

Sincerely,
Consumer Relations Team at CARID.com

I placed an order for a part that was In Stock where the product page listed that it would be shipped within 24 hours. It has been over 48 hours and no notice of shipment. I reached out to customer service, and was finally told there was an issue with processing and that there was no guarantee that it would ship out even today. I specifically ordered from this company since it was based out of a neighboring state and would ship within 24 hours. Because of the lack of clear communication that there was an issue, several days passed which forced me to order the item from another website with overnight shipping. This lack of clear communication has cost me $70 in shipping when I could have ordered it days earlier had they been clear that it would not ship according to the information the website. A general disclaimer about COVID potentially delaying shipment 3-5 days is not a replacement for updating the product pages to reflect the delay. Don't state that it will ship within 24 hours if it's really 24 hours +/- 3-5 days. Measuring in hours when the level precision is several days is just as good as a scale that provides numbers in 0.1lbs increments when an error of +/- 5lbs. 0.1lbs is meaningless if that could be anywhere between -4.9lbs and +5.1lbs! 24 "hours" is meaningless if it could be 4-6 days! Buy from anywhere else.

THIS... IS... A... DROP... SHIP... COMPANY.
This company is RIFE WITH DECEPTIVE BUSINESS PRACTICES. THEY COLLECT YOUR MONEY BEFORE THEY SHIP. AND TRAIN THEIR CUST. SERV. REPS TO LIE AND TALK AROUND ANYTHING YOU ASK. YOUR PART WILL NOT SHIP WITHIN THE FIRST 24 HOURS. THAT IS A COMPLETE FRAUDULENT PROMISE! IT MIGHT SHIP WITHIN 4-5 DAYS. YOU WILL GET REPEATED FALSE SHIPPING DATE PROMISES. AND IF YOU ASK TOO MANY QUESTIONS OR START DEMANDING ANSWERS. THEY WILL QUICKLY HANG UP ON YOU... CHAT AND CS LINES BOTH, OR PUT YOU ON HOLD INDEFINATELY HOPING YOU WILL HANG UP EVENTUALLY. THEY CLAIM NOT TO HAVE SUPERVISORS. YOU WILL BE MAD. YOU WILL FEEL LIKE THEY HAVE RIPPED YOU OFF! STAY ON THEM, THREATEN THEM WITH THE BBB, CFPB, USOAG, FBI-E-COMMERCE FRAUD DIV. AND A DECEPTIVE. BUSINESS PRACTICES LAWSUIT! AND... GOOD LUCK... YOU'RE GONNA NEED IT!

I needed to order Rixxu classic front & rear seat covers, but shipping costs way too much coz they charge it per item, which doesn't make sense! $60! I emailed them but unfortunately they said they have no control over the shipping company... huh? Apparently it seemed that the rep was outsourced so definitely they have no control nor idea about shipping details. Fortunately I called the following morning and was able to talk to Luis. He explained to me that one of the items aren't available yet the reason they charge double. Estimated time the item will be available will be on the 10th of November yet which is 3 weeks from the time I ordered(Oct21) a little bit long for me but still manageable. He proceeded to take my order and charged me 30$ for shipping, still high. $20-$25 would be reasonable for me.
I could have given this 4 stars but my overall experience could vouch for a 5 stars since the agent Luis was knowledgable with what he's doing, has quick service and passionate with the customers Thank you CarID!

I believe my original Order # was *******.
In my online review rant... I neglected to mention that you originally sent me the wrong part back in November '16. It took me close to a week to get you to send out the correct part that I ordered. That was a headache I forgot to mention. It's been all downhill from there.
I do appreciate your prompt response. I already heard from one of your "Voice(s) of Client team members." Irina was her name. She did NOTHING to ease this intense frustration. I am going on day 5 without my car, with several more days guaranteed without a car. I have lose 1000's of dollars in lost wages, mechanic labor fees, rental car costs, hassle, etc.
I begged your representative (Mark) the day this all first happened (Monday, January 23) to please let me purchase a new replacement for the defective part you sold me and then, when I return the defective part, you could just refund my money." He said, "That's not the way this particular warranty works."
I begged him to please send me the replacement part (so I could get my car back on the road) and then I would send back your defective part. He said, "That's not the way this particular warranty works."
And then... after 5 days of hearing nothing more... I receive an email this morning saying nothing will be done until you receive your defective part back. So... you're asking me to have my mechanic put my car up on his lift and remove your defective part so I can send it back. My car would then be stuck up on his lift... therefore prohibiting him from working on any other cars... while you think about processing this request? It has been one long struggle to get you to do the right thing. Every proposal I've given has been met with resistance. I've never dealt with a company who seems to intent on fighting the customer at every turn. Please note... I have instructed my mechanic to purchase a new part somewhere else and immediately do the work. I WILL absolutely return your defective part, but let it be very clear that I DO NOT WANT A NEW PART FROM YOU. I am accepting, and cutting, my losses here. I will accept this as a learning experience.

Dear Stephen,

Thank you very much for getting back to me. I pulled out your order and figured out that my colleague Marge is dealing with the issue you had encountered with.
I do understand, that you do not need the replacement, since you had already ordered it somewhere else. Usually we do not process refunds in such cases, only replacement could be sent by the manufacturer.

In your situation we will make an exception and will issue a full refund to your account as soon as you ship the product back. Marge just resent the return paperwork to you. Please follow the instructions and ship the item back.

Once again, I do apologize for all inconvenience you had encountered with during this transaction. If you have any questions, please email Marge or myself at greg.du@carid.com. We will gladly assist you.

Sincerely,

Car ID sold me a set of rear coil springs that are incompatible with my vehicle after their part finder specifically said it was. The model year was off by one. So my vehicle was an entire generation off from being compatible. This was due to an error in their database.

I was outside the 30-day return window by 15 days. It took me a while to get my work scheduled
Because my mechanic was booked.

My mechanic took one look at the springs and told me they were wrong. I immediately halted the work and called CarID to try to get a return.

The product barely left the box and was put right back in, no tool marks or any damage whatsoever. They original box is intact ready for resale. I provided photos proving this.

CarID responded by being uncompromising despite the fact that they were the cause of the error. My only error was trusting CarID to get me the product I needed.

I'll gladly revise my review if they make this right but this is honestly one of the worst customer service experiences I've encountered. Everybody knows that exceptions can be made in unique circumstances. They simply don't want to own their mistake even though it's entirely possible.

CarID - correct your database! Consumers: be wary - other websites had the correct information. Shop around.

One month later they have a 60-day return window for the holidays. So clearly, they could do it if they wanted to.

Order # *******

Edit: CarID issued my refunds. I wish they had responded to my very human phone calls explaining the situation instead of reacting to a bad review. Based on a lot of the reviews, they seem to have a practice of this. The thing is, I would have accepted a restocking fee, or paid shipping out of my own pocket. I would have owned my side of the street. They offered me no resolution whatsoever until I left a bad review. So they actually spent more money issuing a full refund and covering shipping than if they had initially offered a compromise. Treat people like humans and you will get better results!

Tip for consumers:
Shop somewhere else. the shipping info they provide is often inaccurate and I needed to call them to get the correct tracking numbers. I think there are better alternatives overall.

Products used:
I ended up keeping compatible parts. I'm not sure what I'm going to do with the incompatible ones.

Dear Brian,

We are terribly sorry to know about the inconveniences you have recently encountered.

The 30 days return policy was designed to give a consumer enough time to test-fit the product, make sure it meets their expectations and to report defects/ flaws if located.

In some particular cases, if the return period has passed just recently, we can still check if the product could be returned as an exception. We are currently working with the manufacturer to see if there are possibilities to approve the return.

Please check your email inbox for details.

Looking forward to your answer!

Sincerely,
Consumer Relations Department at CARiD.com.
