“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!

I ordered a set of 08 g35 sedan headlights. Hey arrived on time however after installing them they did not fit in the bumper properly. I did some research and found the headlights were for a 2010+ g37. I contacted CARID and told them about the issue to which the said they would contact the manufacturer. A week later I got a response stating they were the correct headlights. I can personally guarantee they are not the right lights having installed them and looked at the discrepancy myself. Selling incorrect products to customers and telling them they are wrong... good business model

Honestly, at first i was always buying from auto parts stores like Autozone and Advance Auto Parts, but the frustrating part was not finding the right help, all the parts i needed/need, AND at a good price. With Carid not only did i find good pricing and all the parts i needed/need but the best part is seeing known brands like Tein and other well known performance parts. Not to mention customer service and timing was always on point. I already recommended others to Carid and they're just as satisfied. If your thinking about trying Carid out, please do. You can speak to David, which is the guy i speak too. Have a good one guys and enjoy.

As many reviewers have noted before, the prices for shipping are most outrageous, but this is only half of the shipping issues.

Items will frequently be marked as "in stock" only for you to receive an email after half your order ships, stating that it will be an indeterminate amount of time before the remaining "in stock" items ship. If I would have known that, I would have canceled the whole order.

When they do ship your order, you might find that not everything that should be in there is. When you call their (outsourced to India) customer service, you get very poor service, and then they want you to send them a whole bunch of information, including pictures of the issue. Hey idiots, how am I supposed to send you a picture of the stuff that didn't come, you just want a picture of the void where it should be?

Terrible company worst customer service ever. This company doesn't even try. They sent me a used cassette toilet for my camper that smelled of urine. It was so bad UPS person warned us. So bad that it would be impossible for the person in shipping not to notice the smell. Now that I'm reading their reviews, I see this is just who they are. Management is aware of all the complaints, so the problem starts with Antonino Ciappina, the CEO, and runs straight down to the person in shipping and all the rude people in customer service.

Tip for consumers:
Avoid at all costs.

I purchased some headlight assemblies last month and received them about 10 days ago. They were not the same assembly I ordered nor do they match the part the email stated I purchased. I have been asking for a return the last 10 days and have not been allowed to. They take up to 72hrs to respond so I am now 4 replies deep with customer service working with their technician to figure out why the headlights are the wrong ones. Honestly I don't care why they don't fit my car, they're not the ones I purchased. If I am still denied a return today I will have to contact my credit card and pray they will delete the charge from this bull$#*! company. Don't put faith in their reviews or if you contact them prior to purchasing and are assured they are the correct assembly for your car

Tip for consumers:
Don't give your money to the company

Id ordered an $800 cargo carrier for the top of my car. Waiting weeks for delivery and tracking information was never updated, only "pending". After three calls, I learned the carrier returned the parcel as undeliverable, claiming they "called" to schedule delivery. Oddly I work from home and never once received a call to schedule delivery nor were those details included when I ordered. CarID refused to refund the $185 for shipping, even though i as never contacted and worse off, they assessed a $185 "return fee", which again was never listed during the purchase process. Of the $800 I paid, CarID refused to refund more than $350 of the purchase. NEVER AGAIN!

Tip for consumers:
Never purchase from this company. Their offshore customer services is the absolute worst.

Would not recommend CARid. We are on our 4th try to get the correct and non damage wheels. At this point we have 3 good wheels, one scratched and one replacement that does not match the other 3 wheels. Now they are saying that we have to wait for RMA shipping labels before they send the correct 4th wheel. It has taken over three weeks to get to this point and we still do not have a matching 4 wheel set. Do not recommend CARID

Manager calls me a racist when I asked if she was located in the US... like if I wanted to speak to an American we only have one race. She still had no reason why after I paid for items in my cart it added an item I didn't order that was for a Nissan truck and not my Toyota Camry! I called to delete the non ordered item within five minutes and two days later i'm told the stop request wasn't processed in time and I may have to ship the item I didn't even order back and wait for my refund. I will never order anything from this terrible company again!

However, we are always ready to assist and provide the return documents to return the product back for refund or offer compensation if the client will decide to keep the product.

Please, email me at chester.ha@carid.com with your order number, so i could locate it in the system make things right!

I purchased something from this company, and paid for it and also payed for shipping. One week later they sent me an email telling me I owed them $211 additional shipping cost. I told them there must be some mistake they told me you either pay the $211 or canceling your order. They did not try to help me at all. I contacted the manufacturer where the top was being made because it was a special order, I ask them for the size and weight of the package they will be sending it in. I then contact UPS with the addresses and got rates from them. UPS told me it would cost $32.34. When I called car ID back they told me that the shipping cost was $221 total. They would do nothing to help me or to find out why the shipping cost was that much. Do not purchase from this company because if something goes wrong they will not help you

Absolutely ridiculous! Worst experience ever... I went back and forth with them on live chat 8 times, no exaggerations. Cancelled the part because it was on back order and they still shipped it a week after it was cancelled then it was already on the way.

Carid C. – CARiD Rep

Dear Robert,

We are sorry to know that the item was shipped despite the cancellation. According to the expectation we list on our website, we must ship parts as soon as possible. This is our commitment to customers. So once the product was back to stock, we shipped it immediately.

While the cancellation requests are processed within 24-48 business hours. The fact that your order was shipped before the cancellation went through means that we fulfilled the promise we gave to you and shipped the order as fast as we can.

Please reply to my email address alison.rh@carid.com with your order number, so I could offer some remedy to you.

Sincerely,
Consumer Relations Team at CARID.com

I purchased my dream car a 2016 Dodge challenger. I wanted to put the red caliper covers on to dress it up a little so I shopped around and decided to make my purchase at Carid. After verifying the part order with my dealer I placed my order. Upon receipt I found that I had the wrong item because of the wrong information provided by to dealer. I contacted Carid for a return and spoke to Antonio about what happened. He was as disappointed as I was that I had the wrong part. He took care of the problem and couldn't apologize enough even though it was not their fault. I like that there are still people out there that provide great service. Thanks Antonio.

Dave

Ordered 3 things over a month ago. Car id shipped them with a "unknown shipper" what does that mean?!? They shipped it shouldn't they know with who... anyway ordered a month ago and every item was shipped separately between the 21 of July to the 5 of august. And I ordered on the 1st of July. I've been hounding them with emails and live chats but have never gotten a straight answer as to what I've been asking. I don't want anyone else to order from this site because it's just plain terrible. 9th of august still no sign of any of the items

Dear Isaiah,

We are terribly sorry to know about the issues with your recent order.

According to the most up-to-date information from the manufacturer, one of your parts was out of stock and the other one was lost in transit, therefore, the shipment was never received.

We are ready to provide you with a full amount of refund for both merchandises that were never delivered.

Please, check your email for details and let us know how you would like to proceed.

Looking forward to your answer!

Sincerely,

Tried calling 30 minutes after cancelling the order. They were not open.

I had emailed with someone over the weekend and he said I would have to call on Monday to cancel. Called on Monday at 8:00 AM CST, right as they open and they will not cancel. Awful shipping prices too.

I needed new headlights for my Jetta so I contacted Carid and they suggested a pair in my price range. I asked lots of questions because there being shipped to Canada and I was assured they where. So I ordered them.

They arrive and I payed brokerage fees on my lights which I understood. I open the box and they are not the right ones for my car! Great. So I send them back then a few days later I get an email stating they found the right ones for my car... I asked are you sure, and they replied yes. So I ordered them and when I received them they were the exact same ones I sent back...

Now Ive paid brokerage fees twice and there company policy is not to reimburse for international shipping. Ive argued with them for months and nothing has been resolved.

Dont waste your money with this company

This is the order that I ordered on April 19th 2017, still have not received my order from Carid.com, every month they tell me it will be shipped the following month, I think they screwed up on the shipping cost and keep telling me it's the manufacturers fault, they keep offering to cancel the order for me but not to give me a solution
