“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 pair of complete strut assemblies for my Hyundai Sonata. Their website made it appear that they would fit based on the models that they described. I knew I had to pay for extra shipping as I live in Canada, but what I didn't realize was that they would charge me Customs/Duty fees on top of that ($60 dollars CDN). There was No mention of that. They also told me that my parcel would take 3-5 business days, but it actually took almost 14 days as they had screwed up the paperwork on their end. When my strut assemblies did arrive, they did not fit. With a little research on my end, I realized that some models (which unfortunately included my car) could have an upgraded sport suspension for lower end trim levels, and this could have been detected by a "C" in the 8th digit in the VIN number. Had they mentioned this (like other Part sites do) on their web page I would not have encountered this issue. It took them a few days to respond back to me and they did not have the correct parts to fix my issue. After paying for the return shipment fees I will have paid for the parts and will have nothing to show for it. In hindsight I should've just keep the parts and sold them on ebay. So to make a long story short, not a properly labeled/friendly site with the correct information, extremely expensive shipping and unmentioned Duty/brokerage fees, and in the end they didn't have the correct parts to fix my issue.

Since I posted my initial rating, a CARiD representative reached out to me to help resolve my issue and did so in a professional matter. I do hope that they add "how to distinguish the sport model suspension from the non-sport model" on their website. Canadian shipping fees are still expensive, but that has nothing to do with the company.

Purchased a DuraFlex Fiberglass Body Kit for 2003 Toyota Corolla on March 19,2015. It was delivered on March 27,2015. My initial inspection was that the box was damaged and in bad shape, but I personally did not know what to look for in damage for fiberglass body parts. Parts were further inspected by my body shop professional on April 4,2015 upon preparation of installing the body kit. The shop called me immediately to come to the shop to show me major problems. The body kit has numerous chips in the gel coat and several cracks in the fiberglass. The also noted that the front bumper cover would not fit my car as stated without removing the front bumper support cross beam and front bumper impact absorber pad. Both of these are major safety features on the car and removal would make the car unsafe to drive with fear of front impact would cause the motor to come into the cab of the car due to no front impact protection. Of course the website did not state this major modification to my actual car, but only stated that sanding and cutting of the parts would be required and professional installation. I contacted CarID.com immediately that same day and they requested photos. I sent photos of all the damage. No response back. I called several times and kept being sent to an automated customer service to take a message and never called back. The finally spoke with a manager on April 9,2015. Sent him the photos and he said that I had a good claim and should know something in 24-48 hours. No response. I have emailed and called several times again to only be ignored again. Their website says 100 percent Satisfaction Guaranteed. This is apparently a lie. They have basically stole my money. Do not purchase from this company.

Tip for consumers:
It would be better to spend more at another company.

Experienced same just as Joe T. Stated. Lot of research for what? Guessing should have done more with CARiD?

Product price $71.52 for 8' bed rails and 0.00 S&H clearly stated in listing and through most of check out procedure.

Then upon almost checking out, apart from normal checkout area in another disconnected section on same page, states $145. And change for over sized shipping! Barely caught it before cancelling order. And, that wasn't easy. No simple "Cancel" button seen on website page.

Tried to contact CARiD about order. Place was closed even though states on their site open 24 hours? Convenient for who? Wasn't for me. You?

To realistically look at any online purchase, item price and any S&H need to be stated prior to checkout to determine actual product cost and budget. How is it fair for anyone if purchase price parts are hidden until later on? It's not productive for anyone involved. Especially for repeat business.

To me, this appears to be B. S. and can be considered underhanded scamming. There may be a cheaper initial price and supposed Zero cost shipping at first glance. But, carefully look and it's not quite so fair or simple after all.

Would rather deal with other companies who fairly state up front what all charges are prior to check out.

Have ordered several of same type, size and weight items from other companies in USA and abroad and never had an "extra over sized or over weight shipping fee" from any normal shipper such as UPS or FedEx for almost same exact items.

Be leery of another possibly costly thing too. CARiD requests the right to further charge your account later on if what was read on their site was correct. Please, read and reread.

Basically, buyer beware of CARiD? Too good to be true usually is and is also a red flag to be aware of. This time too appears to hold true to that advice / guise.

Dear Ros,

Thank you for taking time to post this feedback. We are truly sorry to know, that the freight shipping cost was too high and appeared only at the checkout. It works that way, unfortunately, the shipping calculator shows the shipping cost only when you put your shipping zip code. We do apologize for all inconvenience caused to you due to this matter. We will gladly look into your order and check why there was an issue with cancellation of the order. Please get back to us here with your order confirmation number.

Sincerely,

Dear Brandon,

Thank you for your feedback!

We are terribly sorry for the situation with your product.

From what I see, the order was placed on your end without the assistance of our agents. The product ordered is advertised as "raw" and due to the material and processes used in production, products will not be a “direct bolt-on.” Duraflex products may need prepping, sanding, shaving, filling gaps, and/or other body work. We highly recommends that a professional “custom” shop with fiberglass body kit experience perform the installation. Auto shops experienced in OEM installations may not be experienced in aftermarket fiberglass installations. This disclaimer is shown to each client before purchase and it is impossible to proceed further to checkout page without acknowledgement.

Also, 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 afterwards, the recipient can only mark the concealed damage by reporting directly to the Freight Shipping Carrier.

In this particular case, the shipping carrier has proofs that the product was received in a good condition and signed for. Still, we will do everything possible to help you out with this situation.
Please, check your email for details and compensation for the inconveniences caused.___

Voice of a Client Department at CARiD.com

Ordered a Bumper cover along with a grille. Although when shipped i was provided the same track number for both items, the grille showed up in a timely manner. But the bumper didn't show up. I called and they told me they had to email the vendor to get the proper tracking for the bumper and they would get back to me with it. But they never did. Never the less, the bumper showed up today. But of coarse its damaged! So I immediately took pics of the damage and refused the shipment. Now, I have seen many reviews from other customers who accepted the package but later found out that their item was damaged. But because they accepted and signed for the package, they are out of luck because accepting the delivery means you saying the the item is in good condition. I open my package at the delivery truck with the truck driver standing there with me. After opening the box we both saw the damage to the bumper along with a whole in the box located where the damage to the bumper was. I immediately took pics and refuse the shipment. Called CarID, the lady asked me if I signed the bill of lading. I told her I refused the shipment so I didn't sign anything. She tells me that because i didn't sign the b. O. l stating the item was damaged its nothing she can do. I will have fail a claim with the shipping company. She stated she can not order me a replacement bumper, which is all i wanted. I wasn't asking for my money back. I Contacted the shipping company that Carid used and filed a claim. They tell me its a 30 day process. So i ordered a bumper from another company to take care of my customer. I give them 2 stars because I try to be honest when i write a review. The customer service lady was nice and respectful. But now I have start what is probably going to be a long process of getting my money back from this order.
