Ordered custom wheels for jeep wrangler, and of course went to discount tire to get them installed and lord behold one 3 black gloss wheels and 1 silver and black wheel, so i had to put 4 heavy wheels back in my jeep take them back home, unload them again in the house, and its going on 2 weeks now and still no return labels, ive talked to customer service 3 to 4 times about my return lables, so now my money is of course tied up, this had been the most difficult return ive ever had to deal with, carid,u would never get my business ever in life again, and i figure u most likely dont give a hoot
Carids website says saa pillar posts will fit 2005-2009 buick lacrosses. However, after paying $72.00 for pillar posts, they sent me pillar posts that are too small. Apparently they are made that way by the manufacturer. I called carid and they took care of it. I got a full refund and it's much appreciated. These things happen. Carid will make it right when things go wrong. I won't hesitate to shop at carid again.
Dear Barbara,
We apologize for your experience and understand your frustration. The part you ordered was made to fit a 2008 Chrysler 300C, while your vehicle is a 300 Touring model, which may explain the fit issue. We recognize that the return period has expired, making it complicated to authorize the return, but we are actively working on this matter. Please check your email for further details as we aim to resolve this for you.
Sincerely,
Consumer Relations
So my order came in over 4-5 separate shipments, which seemed odd. I followed the on line instructions including an installation kit. The wrong installation kit was sent three times and now they won't even take my calls. A completely incompetent and dishonest group. Now I'm attempting to return the wheels since I cannot install them and no one picks up the phone. I'm not getting stuck for this order and I intend to make their existence miserable until i get reimbursed
Dear John,

Company only gives partial refund after taking a initial shipping and a returning shipping fee. The refund process will take up to six months or longer before the customer receive their money back inside their bank but the initial purchase Carid takes the money in minutes.
Dear Linda,
We apologize for the frustration you've experienced with your refund. We did receive the part back, but we cannot process your refund while a dispute is open with your credit card company.

I purchased a set of Vader Side skirts for a 2001 trans/am in mid Oct 2024. After opening the box the next day, I noticed I received 2 of the same side both (Drivers Side Skirts). I immediately called carID on 29 Oct 24 and explained what was going on, and just wanted to get another box. They requested pictures of the matching side skirts, which I immediately sent that afternoon on the 29th. I was told it'll take 3-5 business days before I receive an email. After 7 days, I called back on 4 Nov 24 and was told the items were damaged, they need 6 pictures of the box. I assured them the item wasn't damaged, which I sent back 6 pictures that evening and was told to wait 3-5 business days for an email. After 7 days went by, i called carID again on 14 Nov 24, and sent them 5 more pictures of the items all wrapped up, and was told to wait 3-5 business days for an email. After 7 more days, I again called carID on 20 Nov 24 and talked with another rep who told me it will take 3-5 business days to receive an email. So, again I called CarID on 2 Dec 2024 and was told to wait another 3-5 business days for the elusive email. I realize these came from Vader, and not from carID, but why should I be penalized and have to hold on these side skirts. I've never had any problems with previous orders from carID, but these sideskirts have been a nightmare, especially when I spent $394.
Dear Billy,
We sincerely apologize for the mix-up with your order of the side skirts. Our team strives for 100% accuracy, and we regret that we let you down this time. We understand your frustration with the delays and appreciate your patience as we've been working closely with the manufacturer. Your issue has been escalated, and we will update you shortly. Thank you for being a valued customer, and we hope to resolve this matter promptly.

Bought my item on 11/18/2024 and the item I received was not what I ordered. I received my order within the 2 day I was given at the time of purchase. The box was marked correctly but the item inside was wrong. So it is entirely possible it was a manufacturer error. I contacted CarID the same day I received the order. I provided all the requested information and photos of the issue within minutes of getting off the phone with customer support. It took 3 days to get a response that it would be another 4-5 business days before I could get a shipping label to return the incorrect item and I would not receive my correct item until it was returned. 5 days (11/29/2024) later I got an email saying they didn't even want the item back and "Confirmation of your refund or exchange will be sent via email within 24-48 business hours". Today 12/03/2024 (admittedly within the 48hour time period) I reached out to customer support because I didn't want to wait another 48 business hours/6 BUSINESS DAYS and I was told it would be at the earliest another 3 days before the item would possibly ship. So it will be over 3 week to receive something I should have gotten in 2 days. I asked the customer service rep if this could be expedited considering at this point it has been over 2 weeks and every delay has been on CarIDs side and was told there was no way to get it expedited. Absolutely do not buy from CarID for something you need quickly, cause if they screw it up your gonna be waiting weeks per their own internal miss management, or request a refund and go somewhere else but even then you're gonna wait at least a WEEK for them to get you a SHIPPING LABEL to ship back their screw up only to possibly find out they don't even want it back and you wasted your time all together.
Dear Kyle,
We sincerely apologize for the mistake in shipping the wrong item and understand your frustration with the delays in resolution. Our team worked to address the issue as quickly as possible, and according to our records, the replacement item was delivered to you on 12/3. We appreciate your patience during this process and are here to assist you further if needed.

I ordered these bushwacker fender flares for me 2015 tacoma along with several other items. The Items showed up about a month later. I have a busy schedule so I wasn't able to immediately attempt the installation on my truck. But once I did I noticed that the supplied bolts/hardware were too short I called customer service and they told me that I am out of the warranty coverage and that they can't do anything about it. I went online and checked a couple forums and they had similar issues and were able to resolve it by ordering longer bolts. I did that and it turns out that the fender flares are not a good fit I have to bend and stretch them somehow as well as drill extra holes in my truck to get them to kinda fit. I am not at all happy with this purchase. I do not recommend that anyone buy this product from this company and manufacture. Plus there customer service is awful.
Dear Ignacio,
We apologize for the challenges you've experienced with the fender flares.
The item you ordered is a made-to-order part, which requires approximately 4-5 weeks for manufacturing. This timeframe is indicated on the product page.
We understand your frustration regarding the hardware issues and the fit of the product. On 09/18, you requested an email address change, and all communications were sent to that updated address. We also sent an email to your old address for further clarification. Please check your inbox for details, and we are here to assist you further in resolving your concerns.
Sincerely,
Consumer Relations at CARiD.com.

Answer: Dear Liz K., That's a good question, but unfortunately, we do not have an answer on it. It is better to ask the SiteJabber support to explain how the rating calculates.

Answer: Thank you sitejabber... I will put out the extra money and buy my parts from pep boys. That way if I have a problem I can just walk into the store to return the item. This site is a God send because I was just about to place my order on CARid.com
Answer: They are only concerned about the sale and not the customer. Maybe the owner was in the used car buisness before!
Answer: Dear Chantal, Thank you for your questions. All prices on our website are given in US dollars. Please specify the item number you are interested in to me at alison.rh@carid.com and your vehicle details and I will provide you with the total in Canadian dollars. Look forward to your reply. Thank you in advance!
Answer: Dear Tom, Thank you for paying your attention to the reviews posted for our store. Unfortunately, it is rare today that people take the time out of their day to recognize a job well done. They would rather go and let others know about the unfortunate that has happened to the order than say how positive they are about the service and products received. That is why you can see negative reviews only. Please specify your concern and your order information, so I could do everything possible to prevent you from writing another negative review. You may email me directly at alison.rh@carid.com Look forward for your reply.
Answer: Dear Quincy, Thank you for your concern. We regret to know, that the mufflers did not meet your expectations and you decided to return them. Usually Magnaflow meaning vehicle specific high performance exhaust systems, with badges and polished tips etc. In this case the universal Magnaflow mufflers were purchased. They were true Magnaflow items, but universal fit. To ensure the precise fit, there was a need to measure the original mufflers and to purchase the ones with the same dimensions. Anyway, the mufflers are on their way back to the manufacturer. We will issue a full refund to your account upon receipt. If you have any questions or concerns, please give us a call at 800-505-3274 ext 82. We will be glad to assist you. Sincerely, Consumer Relations department at CARiD.com
Answer: Dear Morgan, We will be glad to cancel your order asap. Please call our Customer Service team at 800-505-3274 ext 82. Thank you
