Review of CarParts customer complaints, rating & accreditation on Better Business Bureau
Is CarParts registered on BBB?
CarParts is not registered on BBB. Therefore, this business has no BBB rating and accreditation.
The FedEx tracking number stated that the part wasn't shipped until 10/27 and arrived over a week from when I ordered it.
I called "customer service" and was treated very poorly. At first, the agent was not willing to get a manager for me. After at least 5 minutes oh me insisting on speaking to a manager, she said that there was none available and she could get a supervisor (who sounded a lot like her).
I was told by the "supervisor" that the package was given to FedEx on the 22nd (the day after my order was placed). I was lied to again, FedEx didn't get it until 10/27.
I was told that a manager was not going to call me back, that I would have to keep calling to maybe reach one.
I was sold a part CarParts didn't have in stock, yet they charged me. I had no clue, until it didn't show up. Then I was argued with, placed on hold, transferred for a minimum of an hour each of the calls... I believe the count is at 5 now! I'm on hold with them now... 30 minutes and counting and I STILL haven't talked to a warm body!
They also sold me the wrong part. As soon as I saw the email, I called in. They told me the order was canceled and ordered the correct parts. The next day I see a charge on my card, then an email, with the shipping info. I called in AGAIN and was told it had already been processed and shipped before I canceled, which was impossible! They are SCAMMERS!
I have four boxes I was told the RMA's would be sent via email... they sent ONE RMA, TWICE, but nothing was sent for the other 3 boxes!
I received an email on 10/7 stating 'your order is on the way! Estimated delivery date Thurs Sep 30'.
How that's even possible?
The part they were going to replace, they couldn't tell me if it was in stock, when it would be shipped OR when it would be delivered. I told the gal I give up and I couldn't do this anymore & I wanted to return everything. She stated she would send me all the RMA's... nothing ever showed up!
So in closing this thing out, Rosalie if you read this, I appreciate you going above and beyond to make my experience a good one…. And for replying as fast as you did…THANK YOU….
In any case, the customer service agent was friendly, took my information and submitted my cancellation request. She also explained to me what I already knew about there being a "small window of time" to cancel an order.
As I said, she was very friendly but I was also friendly so I have to wonder if those complaining about poor customer service and rude behavior were themselves being overly rude. I give them a 4 because the agent was kind and helpful. If CarParts had a better cancellation policy, I'd give them a five.
I ordered a break line assembly kit for a 2004 Jeep Grand Cherokee and was reassured by the website that the parts were "guaranteed to fit," but I received the incorrect parts. When I contacted customer service, I was told the kit I received was for a Jeep Sierra. I was told to expect an email with a "return shipping label" within 24 hours. An email was never received. I waited 48 hours before contacting customer service again. Again, I did NOT receive a return shipping label, but did receive "instructions" to use "any carrier" to ship the parts back. This means I will have to pay out of pocket to return parts I never ordered. - Will come back to update IF/WHEN I do receive full reimbursement.
DO NOT use carparts.com! Save yourself the time, money and hassle! Shop elsewhere!
A couple of hours later, got an email notification the payment for the part had been authorized, but the shipping address on the email was to another state. Immediately sent them email and called Customer Serviced directly. Two days later, got notification the part had shipped, but still to the other state. Have traded a half-dozen or emails with them, but CarParts took the position the address I gave them for my billing address was the one they used to FedEx it to me. That's impossible, because my credit card company won't authorize payment for a wrong billing address (I checked with my credit card fraud department, who
Verified this). So now the part is headed to another state. What I've been able to gather from the hundreds
Of other customers who filed complaints with the BBB, CarParts does this quite frequently then charges a
69% "restocking" fee to send you the right one. BTW, my part is out of stock/production at every other parts supplier, including the manufacturer, so I'm guessing CarParts doesn't even have my part, but would most
Likely substitute another part that isn't correct for my car and hit me with a couple of restocking fees. Avoid
This bunch like the plague. My bank said to call them back and cancel the payment when I finally decide what to do about this issue. I've decided.
After posting our experience with the part on the CarParts website, their customer service provided a surprising and quite satisfactory response. (We never contacted the customer service department. CarParts reached out to us).
We do not blame CarParts.com for the manufacturer's error on the part and will not hesitate to buy from them again. As the overall part design seems superior, we may even buy from the same manufacturer with the knowledge a bit of customizing may be required, once again NOT the fault of CarParts.com.
