Dear ******,
We are sorry you are not satisfied with the part you ordered.
We have investigated this situation with ****** ***** advised the weight of the package was only 0.4 lbs. and not the 35lbs of the original package. Your return shipment under the ***** TR# ************ was stopped because an empty box was sent.
According to our records, you provided us with the wrong drop-off receipt. The pick up address and the scan did not match. Upon the second request, we received a photoshopped document.
We are unable to process a refund for the part since it has not been returned to our facility. In addition, we are not able to file the claim since the drop-off receipt is not valid.
If you have any further questions, please reach out to us at ****************** via LIVE CHAT on CARiD.com, or call us at ************.Initial Complaint

In October 2022 I purchased a brake kit , the sales person and the web site both indicated that this parts have a 24 month or ***** mikes warranty , so that sounded great and I purchased the parts .After driving less then ***** miles and less then 20months , the brakes starting having issues do to issues with the rotor and according to the mechanic the rotor looks warped of poor material ..I called CARID to report this , and pretty much they told me that there is nothing they can do because the manufacturer will not honor the warranty , I said to everyone I spoke with at CARID that I dint purchased the parts from the manufacturer , I purchased from them , and if there is an issue with the manufacturer thats there battle , I dont really care if the manufacturer will not honor the warranty thats there problem , I dealt with CARID and they are the ones who should resolve the warranty with me , but as most companies when it was time to sell they stood 100% behind the product they sold , but once there is an issue they stand 0% the product , now is the manufacturer issue , and I also asked them to let me speak with the manufacturer and they refused this request , which indicates to me that all this excuses might be false.Business response

I had recently bought car floor liners from carid.com on May 19th. I received it few days later as stated. Unfortunately, one of the mats did not fit properly so I decided to return it and request a refund. I was requested to take different pictures of the mat to see if they would approve the refund. They did eventually approve it. This process started on May 27th. I received the approval email on June 3rd after sending multiple pictures. Here is the email I received: Dear *****,Thank you for choosing CARiD.I have requested the return paperwork for the WEATHERTECH ******* - DigitalFit 3rd Row Tan Molded Floor Liner to be issued. In 3-5 business days, you will receive an email with 2 attachments: the Return Merchandise Authorization Form and Pre-paid Shipping Label. You will need to print the paperwork out, stick both papers to the outside of the package, and drop the box at a local ********* store.The product must be in brand new and resalable condition (has never been assembled, installed, or modified in any way) and in original packaging.We will follow up on the delivery of the item, and once it is delivered and inspected, we will issue a $80.20 refund. Usually, the funds are reflected on the account within 3-5 business days after the refund date.If you have any additional questions, please feel free to contact us at CARiD.Thank you and have a good day!Sincerely,CARiDCustomer Service Customer Experience C I have been reaching out to CarId Support Chat since I have not received any emails from them and all I get from them is: CARiD will email you the return docs within 3 to 5 business days.The last time I reached was on July 9th and was told this:CarId rep- I am sorry for the inconvenience. The return paperwork is being processed. It will be issued within the next ***** business hours via email.CarId Rep- I have addressed this to the manager so that to resolve the issue as soon as possibleI have yet to hear from them.Business response

Hello there,
We sincerely apologize for the huge delay in resolution.
According to the pictures of your car's interior, you have 6-passenger seats in the 2020 **** Explorer. The 3rd-row liner is compatible with models which have 7-passenger seats.
This requirement is not crucial for the 1st and 2nd row liners - that's why they fit, but is critical for the 3rd row liner specifically. Weathertech acknowledged you received what was ordered.
You ordered ******* incorrectly. It excludes CARiD or vendor errors.
The correct liner for your application in tan is part 4515753
*********************************************************************************************************Please follow the return instructions described in the *** form. Please keep in mind that for orders delivered within the continental US where the reason for return is not a result of a CARiD error, the cost of the initial shipping charge ($17.50) and a return fee ($12.99) will be deducted from the refund. Here is a link to our return policy: ******************************************************************
Upon the delivery and inspection of the liner, we will issue a $66.30 refund back to your card.
Once the refund is issued, you will receive a confirmation e-mail with the transaction ID. After that please allow 3-5 business days for the bank to reflect funds on your account.

I received a response from Carid on July 15th stating that they will be giving me a refund AFTER deducting the return and shipping fees. When I emailed back stating that I thought this was unfair due to having to wait for over a month, contacting Carid numerous times, and being told I will receive the return paperwork email in '24-72 hours' each time, I am only receiving partial refund, they only responded with:
We appreciate your cooperation and understanding.
From what I can see on file, the return paperwork was issued on 07/15. Sometimes e-mails go straight to the "Spam" box or bounce back. I kindly ask you to check the "Spam" folder for the attached Return Merchandise Authorization Form and the Pre-paid Shipping Label.I have sent back the product as instructed and I am waiting for the refund.
Better Business Bureau:
I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID ********, and find that this resolution is satisfactory to me.

Way to long for refund process. Still waiting on refund that they received back the product on 6/25/24. When I called today 7/2/24 they say it's still in process at the manufacturer. Refuse to give me name of manufacturer so that I could talk with them. Their policy states 5-7 days will be a refund and email. I've gotten neither.Business response

I ordered 2 front lower control arms 30/4/2024 that their website stated would fit my vehicle. As I am active duty army I ended up being unable to install them on my car within 30 days of receiving them, no big deal I thought, their website said it was a perfect fit. I come to find out on the one day I have free time to install them that they are in fact, not a perfect fit. They dont fit at all because theyre not even the right type for my car despite their website saying otherwise. After a continuous back and forth over the course of weeks I finally get an employee that admits that there may in fact be a flaw with their website and that what I ordered definitely doesnt fit my car. I request a chargeback from my bank. After two weeks I come to find out that CARid employees gave my bank the runaround and claimed I ordered the wrong parts. I confronted them over the phone today only to be put into an argument where a supervisor continuously cut me off and raised their voice causing my to reasonably lose my cool and feed into the argument. After requesting that I get information thatll allow me to contact corporate they refused to give me said information until I requested yet another supervisor. Said supervisor gave me an attitude and condescendingly tried to talk me down. Im at my wits end. Especially after seeing how many complaints they have, I wish I had seen this sooner so I would never be in this mess.Business response

On the 15th of March 2024, I requested a warranty claim on faulty aftermarket headlights which I purchased two years prior. The warranty claim was approved by CARid and I was informed I had two options. Option one was to place a new order of the headlights, then send in the faulty headlights and I will then be reimbursed or option two was to just go ahead and send in the faulty headlights and I will receive a new set of headlights without needing to purchase a set. I informed CARid I cannot send in my headlights since I need what I currently have in order to continue to go to work so I will go with option one and purchase a new set. With this same reply, I asked since there is an upgrade to these headlights can I just go ahead and purchase them and be reimbursed for what I would have gotten back for replacement headlights. I did not receive a response for some time so I took it upon myself to go ahead and place the order for the upgraded headlights. Not long after I received the new headlights I received an email from CARid stating they cannot allow me to upgrade it has to be a one for one replacement of the same purchased/ original item ordered. I told them I completely understand so I will request a return for the current order received which I paid $1468.82. The new plan was once they receive the item, reimburse me, I will then go ahead and purchase correct item. I sent in the item with the provided label given by *****. After a couple days had gone by, I received another return label. I was confused so I contacted CARiD. I was informed the first set of labels was to send in my faulty headlights and the second was for returning the purchased item. I informed *****, I NEVER stated/ agreed I will send in my faulty set but not until I receive the replacement. It's now going on two months; they have not refunded my money. They say they will refund me my money, but I only get phone/ email responses saying we will update you in three to five days. I have all emails.Business response

I ordered a set of Brake Rotors for my wife's Jeep. It said ships in 5-7 days. After 11 days I tried to cancel, they refused to let me cancel and said the product was shipped. The next day I get a shipping confirmation email product was shipped that day (day 12) 2 days later product arrived, I tried to return it 1 because of the crappy customer service I had received and 2 because the Rotors looked cheap and spray painted. For $300 I expected quality Rotors. These are anything but quality. I have photos to back everything up. I left them a poor review and I get an email saying they will refund me for the entire price paid, return the Rotors when I get the RMA form from them. 10 days pass and and now they are saying they cannot accept a return, I must destroy these and send pics as proof for a refund. I have no way to destroy steel Rotors and I won't because I'm afraid they will deny my request for destroying them. They refuse to refund me is my issue. If the Rotors were good I'd have accepted them and moved on, but they were not. Now I am in a back and forth with them and they still refuse to refund my moneyBusiness response

I received incorrect wheels from CARiD and immediately contacted them to inform them the wheels were incorrect. After a few days I received an email back informing me to box them up and email them back when they were ready. In this email they also had me sign a form stating I boxed this wheels up in a much better condition then I received them in. If I did not box them up to their liking, I forfeit my refund. I have been in contact with customer service representative Bel Dago, but now that I have been asking for a refund not a replacement I am no longer receiving any correspondence.Business response
