This transaction was rated as less favorable compared to:

A colonoscopy while awake.
Hearing your Urologist sneeze really hard while you're having a vasectomy.
Finding out your wife was having sex with the garbage man (Wait, on second thought, this really could work to your advantage).
Receiving a ‘greetings' letter from the IRS.
Receiving 100 lashes with a cat-o-nine tails then dunked in 34 degree salt water.
Recently I tried them again. They had one part, spark plugs, which were significantly cheaper than everyone else ($11 vs $18 each), so I ordered eight of those and various other filters. Only the spark plugs had a price advantage over other sellers, but I figured the savings on the plugs made it worthwhile. I ordered, paid by credit card, order was confirmed and my card was charged very quickly. I got a shipping notice two days later which listed the filters but no plugs. Since it's quite difficult to contact them directly, I had to ask through their website form if this was in fact a partial shipment. I got a reply a couple days later saying the plugs were out of stock, deleted from my order, and a credit was issued. The plugs showed "in Stock" on their site when I ordered them, the day my order was shipped, and also today. Six days later and my credit hadn't shown up on my credit card, so I contacted them again. I got a very quick E-mail replay that my credit was being processed today. Really? Promise a credit and then don't even process the credit until six days later after I complain?
I suspect I know what game they're playing, and it will Absolutely be the last time I will order from this place.
Excuse me? What happen to the price of $46.98 they advertise for that grille? I sent them another email asking them about that and here's their reply: "As your order history progresses we can offer additional discounts if possible. Please email me any time, I can always call you if you need assistance as well. Direct number is *******426 (Mon-Fri 9am est - 6pm est) call us at 1-800-541-935" Can you believe this! Exactly how in the hell does that transpire to the price I saw on line when I did my search? They want me to buy their parts for what seems like months and the more I buy the more I save... WHAT KIND OF CRAP IS THAT?! If they honored the price I saw at first I would have bought parts for years. I just cant believe they do business this way. Its just to bad I didn't check their ratings first: 417 complaints on the BBB, Over 100 complaints on site Jabber, and many more!
What ever you do DO NOT BUY PARTS FROM PARTSGEEK.COM or even look at their website... They try to hook you using False and misleading advertisement. After reading all the complaints lodge against them they should be shut down ASAP!
It was then that I started calling the 800 number on their site repeatedly until I got a human who sounded like he just got up from a nap. With the RMA number I then mailed the piece back at my expense. When I got to the UPS store (the same carrier used to send it to me), I learned that UPS will not offer a nickel of insurance on a product that was not packaged like mine was when it arrived. Maybe UPS damaged the part, but it is equally possible and now I think more probable that PartsGeek just sent out a damaged part to try and sell it.
After almost 4 weeks of waiting, I started calling them again and finally got someone to track down that they had actually received the part. Again read the fine print. They have 30 days to refund your money and in this case, they took every bit of it.
All in all, it took over 6 weeks from the time I received the bad part to the time I received my money. If you can wait that long for bad parts and service, you will find that for $20 more, you can deal with a reputable company.
Parts Geek refuses to send a new one without paying for new one 119 nor they would cover the shipping cost for the return nor the labor.
In the top of that, their customer service very bad, rude, conniving, anger, hostile, intimidating, bullying and treated me like crab. They would put you on hold then they hung up the phone. The worst experience ever. Very difficult to do business with and would not recommend it to anyone.
Then reading their customer help library, I note that they accept no responsibility for lost or damaged packages. Issues must be addressed with the shipper. In my case - UPS. So, while UPS is doing their claims investigation, I proceed to use PartsGeeks Manage My Order feature which allows one to do such things like return a core, re-order, review product, or a general return. I click the general return button and it has a selection for reasons why one is returning. I select "I didn't receive part". That's it. Nothing else, no response from PartsGeek. Then, after my vehicle project is done, I have parts I ordered that I don't need so I return them and PartsGeek gives me two different RMA numbers for the same part within two to three days. I already sent the parts under the first RMA given and I have yet to see any refund/credit. I will have to call their 800 number because their ticket system is always down. Now, I will give PartsGeek credit for giving my core credit on cores returned; though, out of the four cores returned, I only received credit for three. Personally, I will never use PartsGeek again, just because of the quality of their customer service.
We choose not to have unlimited phone plans anymore, so we pay for ALL incoming and outgoing calls. Being on hold for ten minutes, then calling back during your business day and waiting longer does not aid the rating of Parts Geek. We know what we pay for in phone service when we get the bill. When a supervisor is requested about a processing matter that could affect all customers, it should not be questioned, which was the case with the second operator. I had to mention taking time out of my business day and not going through extra clearance to speak with a supervisor. I wonder if a woman was put on the line since a woman called?! Do not accept a call back, because 1) it will not happen and 2) a business should not control communication when it has been paid by you, thus interrupting your business day at their convenience after inconveniencing you! PartsGeek all sounded nice, yet that had nothing to do with why I was calling about the shipping policy AND processing flaws.
I ordered a strut bar for the passenger side my car, item #11378. The website described this piece as "the front right." I hope we all agree that is the front passenger side. I was sent the front driver's side. I called in, and the lady over the phone was pleasant. She assured me that PartsGeek would send me a shipping label for the return and placed another order for the correct item right there in the spot. Of course I had not yet returned the first bar, so I paid out of pocket for the second item.
The replacement bar comes in and *has the exact same item number as the first bar (#11378)* but this time it is the correct item.
Meanwhile, over email, PartsGeek tells me they cannot send me a shipping label because the website described the item as the driver's side. It *does not*. And even if it did, that means they still sent me one of the wrong items because I have two strut bars with the same item number and yet only one of them works. After I sent photos of the item number from my receipt and the description of what the website says, I was told that they would ask the warehouse and to not respond to the thread until I heard back from them.
I called today and the guy who answered was incredibly unhelpful. He took my number and told me that a supervisor will call me today, with no specified time.
Do not buy from these con artists.
Overnight I was refunded a partial refund of 43.43. My order total was 57.87. I do have a bank statement that shows both of these transactions. I would like to get my full refund from them, they kept the money for the insurance on the part that was ordered, which I don't understand why they wouldn't give me the money back for that as well, being that I no longer have the part nor did I take it out of the box. I immediately returned the package to the sender.
One headlight was correct the other was for a newer style BMW. PartsGeek mistamped the package at the warehouse. I called customer service the first time. Before I even get to give my name I get hung up on.
Second time I speak with a man named Richard. I send him an email and shortly he contacts me back and says the correct headlamp was not found (they had no more stock of) and I would have to purchase a different brand that was $140 dollars more AND different brands. He would discount $15 dollars for the inconvenience. I explained I need both lights to be the same manufacture but he was unable to get another.
Now parts geek already gives you $15 dollars off any purchase just by signing up for the email list. I explained that it was ridiculous that I have to now go ship the item, pay extra for a brand I don't even want and wait another week but all they could do was a $15 dollar discount. I had said the word "$#*!" in my statement (not directed towards him, just the situation) and he said not to curse at him. I told him I have a freedom of speech and was not cursing at him.
*** is an ok word and he hung up. YET AGAIN I called again and got in contact with Roman "front end manager". I explained how his representative "Richard" hung up and he said he is sorry that shouldn't of happened. Ok I let that go and went on how the situation happened.
He said all they could do was a $15 dollar discount and same old story. Roman stated he has no other higher up a customer can speak with and the *** customer service ends with him.
I told him I want to return both lights and he says they would refund me for the full amount on the wrong light but I still have to pay shipping on the other. I WILL NEVER SHOP WITH THIS *** WEBSITE/COMPANY AGAIN!
