“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.

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 spoiler for my car and the part was incorrect, CARiD refunded my money for the part after a few months. I had to have have a little patience which most time I dont and that is my fault, their customer service team were great even when my attitude was not, CARiD made a mistake with the part I ordered and sincerely apologized for the inconvenience as well as refunding the money for the part. Thanks CARiD and I will be visiting the site again for another purchase

Took the time out that I had the right part for my vehicle. They also cross referenced the part number with the oem dealer part. Great company to do business with.

In hindsight, I should have purchased these headlights from Carid. I purchased a cheaper product from Amazon, needless to say I got what I paid for. Lesson learned.

They sent a defective part and refuse to replace it. They say that the part has a 90 day return, when I called the manufacturer they said it was 1 year. You go onto other sites selling the exact same part and even they say it's one year. Tried to explain this to them to see if they would make good, and all they do it hang up on you. They are selling defective parts knowingly, and scamming people by saying the return is shorter than it actually is. DO NOT BUY FROM THESE PEOPLE, THEY ARE A FRAUD!

I have had the opportunity to call CARiD recently, the associates I have delt with were both knowledgeable on the products offered but more importantly had a high level of Customer Care, I have worked in the Customer Contact Industry and appreciate good/ excellent customer service when exposed to it, you always hear about poor service, I want to applaud outstanding service when I get it.

Thanks CARiD

I ordered a poison spyder hood louvers for my 2011 JK iI went to several web sites looking for a dealer that had them in stock It seems with C19 screwing the world no one had them. Except CarID which told me they did. So I ordered it for $161. When it got delivered it was a louver for a 2013 to 2017 would not fit on mine I sent it back They informed me that they had the right part I give them another $164. After a few days they told me the part is on back order and might be sent in 90 days. Which means they never had the part in the first place they just wanted to get me to order it and take my money Most dealers I know will put on there add out of Stock or on backorder not CarID never again will I order from these people

I placed an order for one sir box gasket and an air intake hose. They were shipped at two different time. The gasket came first the hose came a week later. My husband was getting ready to put the air intake hose on and notice one end of the hose was bigger. So immediately I called and spoke with Laura for a return label. The label is to come by email within 24 to 72 hours to no avail. Then I called again no label. Now I'm calling a third time and ask for a supervisor requesting the label again. The next day I received the label and returned the intake hose. Carid received the item back and they are refunding the cost of the intake hose but not the shipping cost. At this point I'm back on the phone request the shipping cost. The rep is saying that they can not refund the shipping cost when clearly the part is defective. I'm truly pissed st this point then I asked for the president of the company's name. I was told they don't give out this information. What kind of company that doesn't give the president name or an address or Email? Now I'm paying for a gasket that weights less then ounce and the shipping cost is 14.97. This is double the cost of the gasket.
NEVER EVER ORDER FROM THIS COMPANY

I will be more than happy to look into the issue and check it for you, if you could share your order number with me here.

CARID provides the worst customer service that I have encountered in probably 60 years. The order I placed in April 2010 was delivered incomplete and trying to get the missing parts has been a very frustrating experience. I have called seven times with no success - the missing parts will be sent (they weren't), the missing parts aren't in stock but will be shipped in 2 to 3 weeks (they weren't), a manager will call back in 1/2 hour (I'm still waiting!). DO NOT ORDER FROM CARID!

I ordered a bike rack over a moth ago. When it arrived, the box was missing tape and was semi open(not secure). Of course the side straps of the bike rack was missing. The quality of the bike rack was not great either. Before I purchased the bike rack from CarID I read their Easy Return(joke) policy and figured I'd fill out a form and return it with no problems. That was not the case.

I've tried following the return steps on CarId website, but doesn't work. I then called and sat on hold for almost an hour while someone tells you a bunch of information about the hoover dam and the state of Nevada. Then i see they have a chat feature, but everytime I sign in, im like the 25th person in line. Then I email them. I get a response pretty quickly, and we've been emailing back and forth. I thought I was getting somewhere finally, but just realize that I'm not getting anywhere and they are asking me to send pictures, just like I did in the beginning. Im now on the 3rd week of emails with CarID and I'm still in the same situation.
I'm out over 250.00 for a bike rack I can't use.
This is the worst experience I've ever had. I will never buy from this company again.

I placed an order, #*******, last week. Brake parts to include rebuild calipers, with a $90 core charge. Per carid website.
"Locate the plastic packing slip envelope that was included with your product."
No packing slip envelope was included.
"Print the prepaid shipping label (sent to you via e-mail) and insert it into the plastic packing envelope."
No shipping label was emailed to me. So I contacted CS via chat. I was told the shipping label will be sent to me in 3 to 5 days. REALLY? But it gets better.
From carid website.
"Once we receive and inspect the returned product your deposit will be refunded to your original form of payment."
This is a lie. CS told me I have to return the cores to powerstop, not carid. And if they feel the calipers are rebuildable they will issue me a paper check for my $90. In one to two months!
And, carid doesn't even have UPS pick up my cores, as other companies have. I need to drive to the local UPS store and deal with them. And I'm willing to bet powerstop says my cores are not rebuildable, in their opinion, so no $90 check for me. And if I insist they send them back to me, they refuse or tell me i pay shipping.
Carid SHOULD have mad all of this clear BEFORE I made the purchase, not after. This was my first and last purchase from this deceptive company.

Tip for consumers:
Ask a lot of questions first, via email.

I look forward to your response!

Review is for "WINJETŽ WJ30-0390-09 - Factory Style Fog Lights"

I was told by one of the sales representatives that this item would fit a 2017 Ford Fiesta ST model and it didn't! I trusted her word for it being that my OEM bumper was on a backorder from Ford and would not get it for over a month. I am not satisfied with my experience from customer service and their knowledge on things like this! I was then in a back and forth email conversations with different representatives and one specifically said I had ordered the wrong part for a different year model of my car and was offered a $15 dollar gift certificate for the trouble. This is unacceptable, especially after a customer service representative and the user interface from CARiD.com said it would fit my model car.

Tip for consumers:
Would not waste my time with this company again.

Terrible customer service. They broke my order up into 3 parts with no packing slip and bad tracking information. One of the items I ordered was staggered exhaust tips. They sent the wrong item. The exhaust tips they sent weren't staggered. It's been 2 weeks already. Every time i call I've been placed on hold for extended periods of time. The last time i called was an hour and forty seven minutes. Then each time i call they tell me they have to put in a request and that will take 24-72 hours then never respond back. On the last call i now have to wait 1-2 business days for a call back from a manager. Every time i ask for a supervisor, no one is available. Apparently they are training at 830pm at night or taking 2 hour lunches. They claim to be based out of New Jersey but i have yet to speak to an American customer service representative. The customer service told me the exhaust tips are a universal fit. I told her it does fit but it's the wrong part. She told me that's the description on the website and they can't control what they send. "You get what you get, there's nothing I can do for you". Yet they claim to have outstanding customer service but at this point i don't even want to do business them and will never do so again. All i want is a refund and they can't even do that. I had to file a dispute with my card company and I'll be filing a complaint with the federal trade commission. This is unacceptable.

I purchased a cat back exhaust system and I ended up buying a different car, so to return it it was fast and easy, and the customer service was outstanding.
