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.
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!
They only give you a 30 day period to return cores, yet they charge you an astronomical amount for the core so they can make some extra money. I ordered a steering box from them right before covid hit and was not able to return my core. I was legally NOT allowed to cross. I then asked them to consider this as I am able to go down now. Nope, they don't give 2 $#*!s. The guy on live chat was just rude. He didn't care that I was not physically allowed to cross. Just a "Nope, you are past the 30 days." FYI, 30 days is nowhere near long enough. Some guys won't even get to the job until 2 month later. It should be at least a year.

Packaged heavily damaged, resulting in scratches on product-a $700(+) bull bar for truck. They want me to wait 2-3 days for ups to pick up damaged box/product & then who knows how many weeks for new delivery. I have a new bull bar from a different manufacturer themselves being delivered in 3 days, no CARid middleman. Tossed there defective junk in dumpster I'll eat the $700, lesson learned. Product was crap-poor welds, thin metal, listed as "chrome" painted grey. I've built custom machines my entire adult life (I'm 51). These chaps are a joke. Ban CARid, use the manufacturer direct, research the products thoroughly, and that's how proper business is done.
Dear Linda,
We appreciate you taking the time to post the review. I am really sorry to know that you received the damaged product.

High wing fiber glass spoiler came extremely damaged beyond repair. Huge crack and many other dents and small cracks. Customer service was no help and very snobby, will not be ordering from this company again.
Tip for consumers:
As requested I did contact the company again because they said they would help me. It once again turned into the same back and forth conversation and went nowhere. She is now telling me they have proof it wasn't damaged. I would love to see this proof because I have cameras around my house proving they have none. The most they offer was a $30 gift card on a $500 purchase which is just insulting. Just exchange your products or don't sell damaged products! Have some pride in your company.

CARID IS TRASH, I ordered a part that said that went to my car it came cracked, 1 week late then expected arrival. The part also did not fit my vehicle and was incorrect. It's current been 2 weeks for them to attempt a pick up so instead of exchanging my items I just ask for a full refund... and still waiting till next week I bet...
Picture show the wrong piece since I'm supposed to have a male insert not a female... the second pic is the cracked lens they takin forever to do something about.
Also every single person you talk to over the phone has some type of attitude and I feel like they all either are problems children or the call center is located in a prison somewhere..
Tip for consumers:
If you still fall for the bs of someone telling you their good.. just make sure you schedule a spa day to relieve stress if you run into an issue that your going to have to call for a refund or exchange...

Ordered very expensive wheel and tire package. Promised 5 to 7 day shipping. 2 weeks later and 7 calls later I ended up cancelling the order. The customer service team was terrible. They lied and never followed through after multiple chances to do so. After the last call I cancelled the order to which they said "we can't do that" but clearly they didn't read there own order confirmation where it stated "item can be cancelled or returned - YES" Real Truck.com got me the same package in 5 days for a discount for what CARiD did. Don't do business here... even if you talk to someone because they will tell you anything to get you off the phone then never follow up... like they say they will. Don't be fooled... they are no honest.

I ordered an $800 dollar performance exhaust system which a UPS driver attempted to deliver protruding out of the box and badly damaged. I refused the order, took photos, and notified CARiD.com. This has been 3 weeks ago! They're refusing to ship a different unit. Whenever you call, you're transferred somewhere outside of the U.S. to speak to rude people who barely speak English. Their answer to everything is that I must wait 24-48 hours, in which I imagine is an attempt to find a reputable company who sells the system I ordered. I've requested a refund, and they're now telling me it can take 3-5 business days. This company is as close to a scam as I could ever imagine. I'll come back and edit in fairness if I receive a timely refund.

Do NOT order from these guys. I ordered camo seat covers, complete with head rest and armrest covers and after waiting nearly 2 months, I received what looks like somebody bought at a department store for a car with regular bucket seats. In order to return anything they want a bunch of info including the VIN # of my car. Why do you need that to establish that a standard multi color seat cover is not mossy oak breakup? They tried to ask me what kind of car I had, as if that would make a difference! Anyway, they said 5-7 business days before they would even get back to me about my return application. One of my worst online purchases ever!

I'm writing before this transaction is complete so more bad stuff could happen I suppose.
I ordered on May 23, today is June 8.
During that time, I've had 3 conversations with customer service regarding shipment of this order. All three times they told me it was going out "tomorrow" but it didn't.
Today I got an email saying it would be sent out tomorrow. It's the first email they've sent.
My conclusion is that the company is untrustworthy and you can't believe what the reps tell you. I would avoid this company if you have any alternatives.

Bought wheels from them and even though the website says it is a guaranteed fit, they do not fit. I am currently trying to return them but no matter how many phone calls or emails I send no one in their wheel department will get back with me.

Update: after a month of playing games with me am finally getting a refund (which takes 48 hours).
Am so disappointed at this company they are terrible and their customer support is more then terrible. Alison Rhode the person responding to Negative reviews on the website was not helpful at all and did not took any matter to solve the case.
Resolution, complaint filed with the FTC and going to small court for damages to business due to their ineffective way of operation and lack of customer service.
Don't buy from em do not recommend.
Shame on you car I'd.
Dear Felipe,
I feel truly sorry about the delay with your order which is clearly unacceptable. Let me explain its origin to you. Once you have placed the order, the system did not include the shipping cost to the total amount since the item you have ordered is a Freight part. The system calculates the shipping cost only for ground shipping by default. That is why we needed additional time to calculate the shipping for your order.
The amount is already calculated and reported to you via email. We are also ready to offer 10% discount to you for the item due to the inconvenience.
Please reply me back at alison.rh@carid.com with your decision.
Thank you in advance.

I bought two gas tanks for my truck, they only shipped one with both tracking numbers attached to it making both show as received. The front tank was never in stock. Strung me along for about a month always saying they were researching the missing tank. UPS indicated only one tank ever sent and Carid finally admitted it was out of stock. Never got second tank. Stay away, poor customer service, false promises, I won't buy from them again.

Ordered wheels and tires, and not only were the tires below my car load index, but the wheels were 8.5 when I need at least 9 inches. I've called numerous times, only to be put on hold or told that a manager will get back to me (which they never do) They supposedly "guarantee fitment" and have "easy returns"…yeah right. They're claiming because I ordered a wheel and tire package it's un-returnable, but it's their fault, I spoke with one of their "specialist" and he put the package together for me. Buyer beware. I might be stuck with a $2500 brick. Next stop is contacting my credit card company.

The worst company to deal with. Don't order anything of substantial value, because if it is shipped and breaks, Carid just ignore you.
My MR2 spoiler arrived split. Totally useless.
No support, just washed their hand of any assistance. Take a look at the attached picture, that's how it arrived, box not damaged, box not crushed, but shipped with the thinnest cardboard casing, hence the damage. BEWARE. I have now lost a lot of money due to this incompetent company

I ordered an item (Order #*******) that was supposed to ship internationally which CARid would receive and ship to my international location. The tracking number provided by Fedex shows the item has been delivered to someone at CARid but they are telling me the item is lost. I have requested for a refund which was supposed to take between 8 business days to complete. Now I have been waiting for almost 3 weeks and anytime I contact them they tell me to wait for additional 3-5 days. Their customer service always close the chat before you are even done typing. This is my worst experience ever buying from overseas. I would not recommend CARid to anyone. Beware

Purchased set of wheels and tires. 1 was damaged on delivery. After immediately requesting a replacement, I have had very limited communication from customer service and a month later they are still saying the replacement is "in process" Then they offered a 100 refund if I wanted to keep the severely damage wheel worth $600. I am baffled at the complete disregard for their customers and horrible attitude of customer service staff.

Don’t
Dear Sean,

Due to the peculiarities of a freight shipment, the box and the part inside must be inspected upon delivery and signed as damaged if any harm is located. This is the only way for us to submit the damage claim with the shipping carrier and proceed with either refund or replacement for you with no questions asked. The information about freight delivery is also shown during the order processing as pop up disclaimer.
If the damage was located afterward, the recipient can only mark the concealed damage by reporting directly to the Freight Shipping Carrier.
Still, we will do everything possible to help you out with this situation.
Please, check your email for details.

Ordered a part on Ebay. Waited a month. Never received the part. Ebay was absolutely no help. Car ID also would not refund and was no help. Ultimately disputed the charge on my credit card. They somehow convinced my card company it was ok, and charged me again. I have been dealing with this for over 6 months now. I will never use there services again. $400.00 lesson.

This site offered a good price on the part I needed but I was in a time crunch. I confirmed via their online chat AND a phone call to customer service that if I paid for expedited overnight shipping ($70+ on a $150 part) I would have the part the next day. They did not even ship it for two more days. When I received it, the box was falling apart and barely held together with packing tape. They refused to refund the shipping cost and charged me a restocking fee on top of that. This is a total SCAM site with outsourced customer service that doesn't know if what they are telling you is accurate or not.
