“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!

Second order of the same floor mats for my 2013 Passat, second order with a problem.

The first set was for the wrong car. Boxed those up (30.00 shipping) and sent them back to the manufacturer. Received a refund in about a week.

Ordered a second full set in the meantime from CARId and I received only one of two rear mats. Went through the return process. Be aware customer service does not have late hours even if they say on the site they are open 24 hours - that's just to take your money.

I had to take pictures of the problem (as if one floor mat isn't self-explanatory) and was led to believe I would receive one floor mat. Waited about four days for some sort of response and received an email asking for the mat to be returned.

Don't have the original box (which they need for some strange reason) and I am most certainly not going to spend 20.00 to send something back that cost 53.00 (on which I paid shipping and tax). I pay for their mistake?

I look at it this way I'm out 53.00 and not 73.00. Lesson learned - don't buy from CARId... they won't make something right on a product they sell. Unless you pay.

UPDATE - 9/6/15 - After my review was put online I had someone from CARID contact me to "make things right". Handled my response in a professional manner but did not receive a replacement floor mat for the one I was missing. Customer service did get me a postage paid shipping label by the end of August. Not impressed with the resolution of my problem.

After ordering mats from another company that provided excellent customer service (they followed up with TWO emails to make sure everything was correct) I sent the one mat back expecting a refund.

Now they are trying to send me another set of mats. Tried to cancel online but I was directed to call their customer service number. Of course you need to call between 9 and 8pm, so don't let the 24 hour customer service statement fool you - they aren't there past a certain hour. Had a nice person this time, BUT I was told that the order might ship out as this is sent out from the manufacturer. She even tried talk me into keeping the order (like I can use two sets of rear floor mats). Not something I need, not something I want now. Especially from these guys.

So... after a month still out of the money still really dissatisfied with this seller. Not getting a second chance with me ever.

Tip for consumers:
If you live in NJ be prepared to pay tax.....horrible return policy.

I purchased 2 items on june 6,2020. Items in stock are to ship immediately, however due to coronavirus items may be delayed. Ok I get that, we started out with an address issue. Did the change of address 1-2 day return time, ok no problem. After a few days I get an email with tracking of 1 of 2 items. Again items in stock ship immediately, today Friday June 12,2020 I received an email late in the afternoon. Carid claims their system made a mistake and in order to proceed I owe an additional $106.00. How on earth their system makes a glitch and or mistake and that somehow is my fault and or problem is beyond me. I called to ask the additional money be charged as the rest through credit so I can proceed, wait wait wait... Sir we can only do credit for $500+, uhh I just spent $971.00 and you say what? These people and this company made their system failure my fault and or problem. They should have agreed to make it right one way or another and failed massively. BUYER BEWARE, EVEN IF ITS THEIR MISTAKE YOU WILL SUFFER. I canceled the entire order because their lack of support and assistance in correcting their own mistakes. The email offers no correction other then me paying more money. Every chance I get I will write a bad review and continue to discredit your company to any and all. HORRIBLE CUSTOMER SERVICE AND PUBLIC RELATIONS. It even has the fee online as being free, rough country ships free after you spend so much. Lies nothing but pure lies! Update 6-17-2020 I got a email stating the shipping was free so I was only refunded the price of the bumper. Had the shipping been free we wouldnt be here now, again lies and horrible business practice. They dont even know the facts but are trying to tell me what I do and dont know. Bad company!

All of their promo codes offer discounts of various amounts, but when you click on them they bring up non-related items. This happened on every link I found. And then I called customer service and they pretended to be shocked, telling me to send them the links. Turns out they were links from their Facebook page. Customer service rep had nothing to say then.
Total scammers. I am glad I checked here to see I am not alone in my thoughts about this company.

****************************************************
IN RESPONSE TO THE COMPANY'S REPLY:
****************************************************
First off, since Carid is only now starting to respond to the passel of negative reviews, the least they could do is fully read the complaint. This has nothing to do with a "Gift Certificate", it is the FALSE PROMO CODES that you sprinkle the Internet with, in order to entice people to purchase from you. And the offer of honoring the *promo code* is also just more rhetoric, since I initially tried that with a call to customer service. I was told the lousy 7% off could not be honored, but after being on hold for five minutes you would do 5% this one time. But of course there is now a shipping charge (which just happens to come to more than the 5% off). Well, that's when I said, 'thanks, but no thanks!' I am so glad I did, because I would have just gone through even more grief if I had placed the order, just as numerous others did that made the mistake of ordering from such a sham company. Time to wake up Carid; social media and sites like this make it impossible to keep your attempts at swindling consumers a secret any longer!

I ordered and paid for a reserve fuel tank from Carid, DeeZee was the manufacturer in July 2020. When I asked when I might expect it I was told in 30 days as it was backordered. 30 days came and went, so I called Carid. Was told it was again backordered and they gave me another date. This went on for another 4 months. They never contacted me, I had to call them. Finally got the tank in December of 2020, I wasn't home when it was delivered but the freight company delivered two of the tanks. Imagine my surprise when I got home, mind you these are $1,000 dollar tanks! I didn't get the connection kit I ordered at the same time. That took another month and a half, same problem, no communication. When I got the tanks I called right away as both were addressed to me. Carid said they weren't aware of it but would try to find out why. No return call. This calling by me (they never returned any calls) went on till February and they sent me a return slip and informed me to take it to UPS for return. I AGAIN explained that the tank was banded on a skid and weighted more than their estimate. I emailed and explained the situation and they said they would get back with me. It's now the end of April and I send a blistering email about them not contacting me and the very same thing happened again! UPS just left in his normal sized truck and told me he couldn't take it (which I knew he couldn't, and he was very apologetic.) I sent another blistering email and am waiting to hear back from them. My next call will be to the BB Bureau. I think the only reason they finally got back with me a few weeks ago as I told them I was going to sell it on Ebay! Which I still may do. P.S., I did contact DeeZee and they weren't too concerned about the situation, but told me I needed to go thru Carid. Mike from Ohio 4/28/2021

To start with I still haven't received my pump I ordered 2 months ago.

Ok here is what is going on.

I ordered a pump for a client. This company is a mess. I have don't everything in my power to resolve this problem. But I am hitting a wall. First I ordered the a toilet which was not stated on the description as a pump at first on the page for the part which now its says pump. So I was thinking I was getting a whole toilet at first then the day comes that the package was to be delivered no package no nothing. So I called the company I bought it from which would be Boat-ID company. I asked about the toilet and they said the part that I ordered was just a pump which was upsetting so then I went with it. Then asked where is it, it was to be delivered. So we did the checking of all information and found out that the address was wrong mind you they didn't confirm the address. So now where is it I Google the address and found that it doesn't exist, it's woods. So I called them back and explained that I went looking for the package and that was not delieved. So now they sent UPS to find a Fedex package that is another problem, and they charge me 30 to do that and they did it twice now this made me upset cuz it was their fault for it not being delivered to the right address in the first place. Now they want to have a claim but no the won't call the seller to file a claim or will they refund my money for their mess up. Now I called the CWR company where the pump came from to get this claimed filed but the CWR wants the BoatID people to call them but they won't. I am at the point of sueing all companies involved cuz none of them want to do anything to resolve this. Never will I deal with these company again nor will any of my clients or friends. I am a business owner myself and this is not how business should be run.

Tip for consumers:
DONT USE BOAT ID ITS A MESS

This is by far the worst online company I have ever dealt with. Ordered a set of front car mats for our 2006 Hyundai Santa Fe over the phone with little trouble. They were supposed to be custom fit made by Lloyds Mats. Alot of this issue is also attributed to Lloyds to be fair. The mats came within 1 week. I placed them in the car and the fastening grommets were too small for the pins in our car (Lloyds issue). Trying to contact CARid is a horrendous experience. The first day I called 4 times. Wait times on hold were 20 minutes, 35,55, and 75 minutes. Finally gave up. Next day I tried all over again. Wait times of 40,50 and 65 minutes and finally got a real person to talk to. The guy didn't have a clue what to do but told me mats were not returnable to which I caused an enormous fuss. Talked to a supervisor and after another wait of 20 minutes this guy seemed like he would take care of the issue. I had to jump through hoops by sending pictures of the ill fitting mats and the pin in my car. He was in contact with Lloyds about the problem and I was assured that the problem would be corrected. Over the next 3 days on correspondence between myself, the supervisor at CARid and Lloyds I received an email telling me that Lloyds has had an issue with this year and make of mats and they didn't know how to fix the problem so they just threw their hands in the air and gave up. Lloyds gets an F for thin cheap mats that don't fit or fasten properly and for the unwillingness to try to repair the situation. CARid also gets an F as I received another email telling me my only recourse was a full refund if I sent a picture of the mats cut in half! CARid didn't care enough about this customer enough to try and compensate me for this frustrating situation. They simply washed their hands of the issue as well. I did send a picture of the cut up mats and received a full refund within a week. But the entire transaction was wrought with problems: extremely poor customer service, ridiculously long wait times on the phone (except when you order and they take your money), poor quality merchandise that they distribute. My advice to anyone is to keep shopping for accessories for your car. Don't buy from CARid as you will only be met with indifference and poor customer service. Don't buy mats from Lloyds because if there is an issue they may not guarantee their products and also poor customer service. I also cannot understand how there can be allot of 5 star customers. I also suspect that CARid has their employees or writers enter good reviews to combat all of the overwhelming negative reviews. BUYER BEWARE!

I'd bought a few parts from this outfit in the past without incident.

Last week I placed an $1,100 order for 17 cases of filters. They accepted the order indicating everything was in stock and would be shipped. Couple days later get a call; only 5 cases are in stock; 12 are on backorder... for at least a month or more.

I needed to check on timing before deciding what to do. Yesterday I called them back and very clearly said-ship the 5 cases you have and cancel/refund the 12 cases on backorder. I will have to find another source for them--can't wait over a month.

The csr said she understood and put me on hld t process the refund. When she came back she said she'd called the distributor to check on status and they'd get back to her w/in 24 hrs re. The back-order issues.?! #$#@$$!. What did she think she was doing. That ship had sailed. I then - even more clearly - reiterated that I wanted the back order parts canceled and did want the in-stock parts shipped... in other words a partial cancellation. She put me on hold for 5 more minutes and in fact did process the partial cancellation... or so she said.

I got 2 emails. This evening I read through them carefully and discovered that they cancelled the ENTIRE order. I have no inbound parts... though no one at CARID felt moved to tell me this.

I called the call center and got a bunch of gobbly-gook. I got off the phone having no idea how this got screwed up.

Add to this the fact that the call center reps must be sitting in each other's laps. I could hardly hear the CSR because of all the background cacophony of the other reps. It soounded like what I imagine these sketchy stock brokerage pump and dump bucket shops must sound like.

What an amateur operation!

I bought some Spyder® - Chrome Halo Projector Headlights with LEDs for my 2012 Ford Focus SE with Sports Package on 3/20/15. First I ordered the wrong part and they quickly offered me a refund and charge me the difference and ship the correct parts out and received them quickly and undamaged. I tried to adjust the headlights and the adjusting bolts wouldn't move the lens to make the headlights point in the right place. I took them to the place I bought the car from and they too couldn't adjust the lights. I finally took them to a collision center to have them adjusted and still couldn't get them to adjust. I read some reviews about Spyder headlights took a lot of turns too make the lens move, so I tried and nothing. I finally read more reviews to find these headlights commonly come stripped and taking apart the headlight was the only fix, which of course avoid any warranty on the lights. I called to have the lights returned and a refund on the lights or even an exchange and I have a life and being on hold for three hours is ridiculous and hard for me to fit into my busy schedule. I tried the online return process and it didn't have my reason for return and wasn't very helpful. I tried the online chat and they couldn't processes the return and said I needed to call. I recently loss my job and now have plenty of time to call and I finally got a hold of someone very quickly this time. I asked if I could return the product and they said no the thirty days has expired and the company has a very strict return policy. I asked if I could exchange them for something else and was also denied. I finally asked if I could use the one year warranty and again was denied. I'm glad I use paypal for everything I purchased as they were able to get me a return process and my money back. I will never do business with them again as the return policy is ridiculous and won't even exchange the part for a working set.

Okay, so at first I had heard good things about CarID, things like "they have parts for you truck that you won't be able to find anywhere else" so naturally I take a look. Indeed I did find tailights for my 1994 F-150 that I hadn't noticed on any other site. I immediately pull out my card and purchase them, but I noticed on the page that it said I wouldn't receive them until May (I ordered in February) time goes by and may comes around. I E-Mailed CarID and received a notification saying that my lights would ship out on the 1st of June, not a big deal since I am a patient person. June 1st comes around and I get another E-Mail saying that the shipping date had been pushed back until the 7th, still not a big deal. Well today, the 9th of June, I get a phone call from Ivan, saying that the shipping date had been pushed back to MID JULY. YOU MEAN TO TELL ME THAT I HAVE TO WAIT NEARLY HALF A YEAR TO RECIEVE SOME TAIL LIGHTS?! IVE ORDERED RIMS AND TIRES AND GOTTEN THEM WITHIN A MONTH. Long story short, if you appreciate your sanity, don't order from CarID. They have led me around the block for months now. Whenever/ If I ever receive my lights, I will update this post regarding the quality of the lights. And they better be pretty dam perfect if I have to wait 5 months, VERY UPSET WITH CARID

Verified purchase

I ordered 4 wheels and tires, mounted and balanced, for over $4K. I received them with cheap "Snap-In" valve stems that were NOT the aluminum "Clamp-On" type specified by their advertisement, and though they looked like crummy discount garbage (ugly black, and FAR too long for the application), I couldn't afford having my vehicle out of service any longer to send them back for the correct parts I purchased to be installed, so I soldiered on.

Three weeks later, I was forced to take the vehicle to a mechanic to see why 3 of the new tires were losing 2-4lbs of air per week, and one wheel 5-10lbs OVERNIGHT. $140 and one new valve stem later, my mechanic informs me that the remaining 3 valve stems are also defective. THAT'S FOUR DEFECTIVE VALVE STEMS NOT OF THE TYPE ORIGINALLY SPECIFIED. CAR ID's solution to this issue?..."Here's a $90 refund, and four new valve stems." TOTAL SLAP IN THE FACE.

But wait, there's MORE! After waiting 3 weeks for the delivery of the replacement valve stems, I come to find out that the 4 cheap-$#*!, incorrectly installed, and defective "Snap-In" valve stem & TPMS sensor are each one-piece units, while the correct "Clamp-In" valve stem replacements are a two piece setup. Soooo... after yet ANOTHER another frustrating song and dance with CAR ID, I HOPE to get, in a MINIMUM OF ANOTHER 3 WEEKS, the TPMS sensors specific to the new "Clamp-In" valve stem units THAT WERE SUPPOSED TO BE INCLUDED WITH THE REPLACEMENTS!

NEVER AGAIN! NEVERAGAIN!

185 Hudson St Harborside Plaza 5 14th Floor
Jersey City, NJ *******

BBB Complaint ID: *******
Ripoff Report: #*******

On 9/25/2020 I ordered a TYC® - A/C Condenser Fan Assembly Order Number: ******* of the amount 46.46. I received the part and found out I had the wrong part and put in for a refund. This was the following dilemma I went through:

1st call: 10/2 - 745pm -est - Called to verify the item was received by the manufacturer. I shipped it via ups 10/1 - item was received.

2nd Call: 10/6 - 456pm -est - Inquired about the status of refund and was told it was sent RMA dept for a refund of 35.50 less 10.96 for shipping.

3rd Call: 10/8 - 1126am -est - Inquired about refund and was told it would be on my bank statement within 3 days. Did not happen.

4th Call: 10/13 - 1010am -est - Inquired about refund and was told it would be on my account the next day. Did not happen. I told them I would be making a complaint with the BBB.

I would like a refund of $35.50 placed on my bank account immediately. The customer service may make promises but I have seen no attempt on their part to refund my money even though they have their item back unscathed. This is fraud plain and simple. I have heard excuses from them based on covid but the complaints I have researched have been going on since 2016.

I ordered a set of car mats, and their e-mail acknowledgement stated they would ship them on April 25th. On Wednesday, April 20th, my husband surprised me with a set of car mats, so early on Thursday, April 21st, I called to see if I could cancel the order. The first person I spoke to said she thought I could and had me speak to their shipping department just in case. That individual also said he would make sure the order was canceled. On Saturday, April 23rd, I received an e-mail message stating that the order had SHIPPED. I tried to call them, but I received a phone message stating their offices were closed but I could call back during normal business hours of 8 to 5 ET Monday through Friday. I live in Los Angeles, 8 to 5 eastern time is 5am to 2pm. What a joke.

I did manage to send an e-mail, but after 5 e-mails I was told that I could not return the items or refuse the shipment, but if I destroyed the carpeted car mats (all 4 of them) and sent them a digital picture showing they were destroyed, they would be very happy to refund me 50% of the cost. ARE THEY KIDDING!

I have filed a complaint with the Better Business Bureau and am awaiting the results.

Bottom Line - I WILL NEVER PURCHASE ANYTHING FROM THIS COMPANY AGAIN, AND I STRONGLY SUGGEST YOU DO THE SAME.

CARID is sub name the parent company is ONYX (which I did nor know until I filed a complaint with the BBB). Ordered a set of wheels and tires on 9/12/20. Suppose to ship on 9/28/2020. I called a week prior to that? Why so long and was told that was asap. I tried to cancel and the tab on their website to request cancellation does not work! Good luck getting someone on the phone! I called on the 28th and was told I would get tracking info shortly, nothing! Called numerous time and you stay on hold more than an hour. One time after holding for an hour, message came on and said I was calling after BZ Hours, its was 10:30 AM. Finaaly got someone and requested to speak to Super, could only lease a message.
Super called the next day and flat out Lied! Said the tires and wheels ahd been received by their warehouse and were being assemlbed and I couls not cancel and would get shipping info in the next few days. Not true and it only takes 45 minutes to mount and baalnce a set but it takes a few more days to ship? Made a complaint to AFFIRM for a charge back but i'm sure they are affilited and the told me two weeks for them to make a decision on wether to make a charge back. IO took that as to give ONYX time to comply with the order. I filed a complaint with BBB. ONYX refused to cancel and overnited the wheels and tires on October 6. I reluctantly accepted them. Everyone that I talked to during this process LIED! I will never do business with ths company again and advise you to avoid them! This is a brief synopsys, actual was worse than what Iv'e written.

I have been through hell and back dealing with this Carid AKA onyx company customer servive. Order a Gear rim with silver letting, i spoke to product specialist name mike said we have and told him about the other rom it had to match. He said no problem week later rim arrived with black letterings try to get silver they said manufacturer discontinued it BS. I saw it on other sites. I also bought the weathertec floor liners only sent the rear ones, i called the dumb $#*! customer service and they said it was shipped. Still waiting like an idiot. Call my credit card. I also file a complaint with BBB it goes no where because they paid the government off in taxes. I SHOULD'VE READ ALL THE NEGATIVES REVIEWS AGAINT THEM. My bad. I will never buy cral from them. I ordered a jack from EXTREMETERRAIN.COM and it was missing a bolt and a part was scratch in shipping immediately they sent me a replace part. Great customer service... A rated... i cant give carid a 0 because is not in the available. As of today may 24 im still waiting for my front eeathertech liners for my jeep. Carid really sucks. Today i had a replacement jeep bedliner bought from Amazon had an issue with one item immediately was sent a replacement. I dont know how Carid stays in business with such low customer ratings

I PURCHUSED A $356 REAR LIGHT BAR FOR MY 2022 CHEV SILVERADO AFTER CUSTOMER SERVICE ASSURED ME THERE WOULD BE NO PROBLEM RETURNING IT IF I WAS UNHAPPY WITH THE LIGHT BAR... AFTER THE INSTALL, I NOTICED THAT THERE WAS SEVERE INTERFERANCE WITH OUR COMPANY TRUCK 2WAY RADIO. AFTER CALLING REPEATEDLY, AND NEVER GETTING A CALL BACK, I WAS TOLD THAT THEY WERE AWARE OF THE PROBLEM OF WHITE NOISE INTERFERANCE WITH 2WAY RADIOS... IF THEY HAD PUT THAT IN AN AFTERNOTE WITH THE DESCRIPTION, I WOULD HAVE NEVER PURCHASED THE LIGHT SYSTEM. SO LONG STORY SHORT, I ASKED TO RETURN THE LIGHT BAR THE NEXT DAY AND WAS TOLD THAT SINCE IT WAS INSTALLED, IT COULDN'T BE RETURNED... SO MUCH FOR THEIR SATISFACTION GUARANTEE... I WAS A GOOD CUSTOMER OF THEIRS FOR YEARS AND COULDN'T BELIEVE THAT AFTER COMPLAINING THEY SAID THEY WOULD EMAIL ME A RETURN SLIP TO SHIP IT BACK FOR A REFUND... NEVER GOT THE RETURN SLIP... I'LL NEVER BUY ANYTHING FROM CARID AGAIN AFTER SPENDING 1000'S OF DOLLARS WITH THEM IN THE PAST... I DO NOT RECOMMEND CARID DUE TO THEIR HORRID CUSTOMER SERVICE AND FALSE ADVERTISING.

Tip for consumers:
be aware that they do not honor their advertised guarantees

Verified purchase

Updated 9/6/22: Whatever issues I had with CARID have been resolved as they did the right thing and refunded my purchase. As such I would consider ordering from them again as they have regained my trust. Thanks!

I bought a set of Spyder headlights for my truck from CARID and was told by one of their sales reps in an email that they'd fit my truck. Well they didnt fit so I asked to return them. First they told me I ordered incorrectly (despite their own sales rep sending me a link to these headlights telling me they fit my truck) and they wouldnt process my return. After complaining and waiting another two weeks they finally sent me a return label. Two week later I was told they coudlnt process my refund because the vendor said "the lens was scratched" which is complete nonsense. My mechanic buddy and I knew immediately upon opening the box and comparing my headlights to the SPYDER lights that they wouldnt fit so right back in the box they went and I personally wrapped them in the original packaging and sealed the box so it could survive anything. They doubled down on the lights being damaged and denied my return again. I CRIED because I needed that money to get the right headlights. I have no doubt neither CARID or Spyder ever had any intention of refunding my money. Then to make matter even worse they sent me an email telling me theyre going to charge me to ship the headlights back to me! In all my years of buying things online I've never had such a horrific experience buying anything. These people are just bad businessmen who think its OK to just take your hard earned money and let YOU take your chances on being able to return the product. THINK TWICE... no think 10 TIMES before ever ordering from them.
PS. The headlights were sent back in the exact condition they were received. Regardless I'd never be in this situation if their sales rep hadn't recommended these lights for my truck! Bad customer service all around AND I'm out $526.00 no matter how they spin it.

CARiD is the company. I ordered rims and tires back in the beginning of October. It's now the middle of January and I still don't have a complete order delivered. I initially received all four rims and tires and three were damaged. I was told to repackaged them which cost me $46 for materials. I repackaged them and sent them back. After several weeks I finally was told I would be recovering the replacements. Five weeks later they sent me three back with two of them being damaged. At this point I have two good rims and tires and once again I had to repack and send of two rims. Month in a half later I receive two rims and tires. One of them having a small scratch I decided to keep that one and send the dented one back. I waited two weeks for them to pick up the last rim and waited another month for them to send back the replacement. Before sending it they email me telling the order has been fulfilled and they currently don't owe me another rim. Furious, I called them and was on hold for over an hour when they told me they would contact me when they figure it out. Three days later I get a notification that a tire sensor was on its way according to the shipping label. I call and to verify and they had to resend me the correct order. It's not mid January and I receive my final rim and tire with the incorrect tire pressure sensor. It's complete different then all the others. Cosmetically it stands out like a sore thumb. The only one of the pair. Also the rim is damaged just like the other rims prior. CARiD claims it is the shippers fault. I know for a fact they are scamming UPS. Ever package that sent that packages with shrink wrap cardboard and box tape. The outside was NOT damaged in anyway but yet they insist on filing a damage claim with UPS. I can't sit back and allow CARiD to fraudulently filing damage claims agains UPS. I have tried to speak with someone in charge at CARiD but they never let me. Something need to be done. Tried to upload a ton of pictures but the format won't allow me to.

I initially made a purchase on Aug. 28th. Received a delay notification on Aug 31st saying that the shipment was delayed and a new estimated ship date was Sept 2nd. On Sept 3rd I sent a status request and contacted them in the afternoon on Sept. 6th since I hadn't heard back from them concerning my shipping info. Considering they didn't have an update for me, I submitted a cancellation request. To which they said it takes 3-5 days to process which is ridiculous since all that is required is an email or a phone call, but with no tracking info I figured this wouldn't be a problem. Come Thursday morning Sept 8th I find I have received 2 emails in the middle of the night; the first at 2am with tracking info and the second from customer support at 3:08am saying that my cancellation couldn't be processed before the manufacturer shipped the item.

Come to find out from the tracking info the item shipped on Aug 30th (label was created) and was picked up by FedEx on Sept 2nd. So it had already been shipped on the day they projected which means they had shipping info and just decide not to provide it. I doubt a reputable company like Megan Racing would fail to supply them with tracking info for the customer. So they knew all along and just didn't deliver my tracking info until after the product, that I no longer wanted, had already been delivered. See photos below.

I will never order anything from them again. I wish I could prevent anyone else from ordering from here again to prevent them from frustration and wasting their time and money.

Dear Justin,

Thank you for your feedback and for bringing the issue to our attention!

We are sorry to hear about your frustrating experience.

Indeed, It looks like the cancellation request did not go through before the order has been shipped out. That is why we advise that a cancellation request takes 24-48 business hours and when the estimated shipping date is set on the same day, or the next one - we cannot guarantee that the cancellation request will go through right away, as it is a two-step process and the order should be canceled on manufacturer's end as well.

We do have automatic notifications for all changes made to the order but some of them might be triggered by email systems as spam and either did not go through at all or go to spam folders.

Please, email me directly at mila.pa@carid.com with your order details and I will assist you further as well as offer compensation for the inconveniences caused.

Looking forward to your response!

Sincerely,
Consumer Relations Department at CARiD.com.

I bought a dash kit for an Acura MDX.
# 1 - some pieces didn't fit
#2 - Contrary to the description, there is NO wood in this kit. I's all cheap plastic.

I have spent 3 weeks trying to get a refund on a defective product.

They refuse to accept their responsibility and offer no refund or return "unless the item is unopened and in original condition". So how do you find-out if a product is defective unless you open the box and install it?

This is the worst customer service I have EVER encountered. They lie, and operate in bad faith.

STAY AWAY FROM THEM!

Yves,

Thank you for getting back to me. I looked into your profile and figured out, that the product was installed, therefore we did not let you return it. In your review you never mentioned that the product was installed. You said it was just opened.
I am sorry, but the dash kit cannot be returned after it was installed.

You were also having the fitment issue. The new piece#25 (the cup holder piece) will be shipped to you on the 21st of December. The manufacturer is currently revising its design and will ship the bran new redesigned item.

As for another piece#20 which did not it, it was placed incorrectly. It needs to be installed underneath the round center button.

My Reply:

Since you are offering corrected replacement pieces, you are obviously admitting the product is not right and therefore would have to be installed for the defect to be noticed.

Furthermore, the item being wrong as you admit, it has to be returned to the manufacturer for modification. So either way, installed or not, my product is wrong, and you cannot sell it to another customer, whether installed or not.

When you say the #20 piece should be installed under the center button, you obviously don't know what you are talking about. It absolutely has no place there.

Last but not least - you are not addressing the main issue - the description says REAL wood, when in fact the product has no wood whatsoever.

So I don't care about the replacement pieces.
I will not install this overpriced junk in my car.

When the ad and the description says WOOD, I expect wood, and if it's plastic, I expect a REFUND with no argument.

I will update my revue and I WILL get a refund, one way or another.

BTW - don't believe the "good" reviews - they are obvious fakes.

Note: i tried uploading the receipt but couldn't but the order # ******* MADE ON 10/5/2022

I am never coming near this company ever again. I bought a driver side upper control arm for my Chevy suburban and the wrong one was sent over. When I called today to request an exchange i spoke to "Bel" and from minute one she had an attitude and was trying to hold me responsible for ordering the wrong part. However, all i could do while making the purchase on the website was put my truck's info and verify that it was a fit which i did. While talking with "Bel", she didn't want to believe that it was the wrong part so had to look up the SUK# for the part to proof to her that it was the wrong part. Then eventually she agreed to start the return process but still charged me a restocking fee and that's where i lost my mind because it was their fault in cataloging the product wrong in the 1st place. Not to mention she was too damn ghetto with me on the phone so i couldn't take this kind of attitude and i asked for a supervisor or manager and she wouldn't let me talk to one. So, i hang up and called again and Jane answered this time. She was nice at first until she realized it was a return then her tone changed as well but wasn't as bad as "Bel". Long story short, i had to ask for a return at this point as they made it clear that they wouldn't even consider owning up to their mistake and was forced to start the return process in order to get the majority of my money back. Clearly, they lack of any decent customer care. I have 2 cars and always buying parts but never had to deal with this kind of unprofessionalism. I understand if i had a change of heart about the purchase then ya i ll own up to the restocking fee but it was clearly a mistake on their end.

Tip for consumers:
most websites have a better attitude and better return policies no one has to deal with those money hungry suckers so i would recommend any one to use this site at all

Dear Hazem A.,

We are terribly sorry to know about your frustrating experience with our company.

From what I see, the Control Arm you have ordered is a direct replacement and it is important to confirm the OEM part number before ordering this product. Unfortunately, this information was not listed on the product page at the moment of purchase. This error has already been reported and will be fixed shortly.

As for the behavior of our agents, this is unacceptable. Every feedback about agents is factored into their performance reviews so please rest assured the proper actions will be taken.

We appreciate your business with us and want to remedy the situation. Upon return of the part, we will issue a full refund, including the shipping fee.

Please, check your email inbox for details and compensation offered for the inconvenience caused.

Looking forward to your response!

Sincerely,
Consumer Relations Department at CARiD.com.
