Terrible doesn't even come close to describing my experience with CARiD. This company is one of the many online marketplaces that stocks very little and drop ships. Unfortunately, their technology does a horrible job of keep track of inventory. I ordered a battery they showed as "in stock." I checked on the order two days after it was placed and told by a CSR at CARiD that it took 48 hours and that my item should ship on January 29. In addition, she provided me with a $10 gift card number to use on my next order. I figured all was well, then I checked my order status again on January 28 and the ship date had changed to February 4 with no communication. I emailed them again and have yet to receive a response, so I ordered the product from a different source, and requested a cancellation and credit (time will tell how that goes). I run an eCommerce store, and I understand that things happen, but this is just unacceptable.
