Totally useless
July 19, 2018

Ordered the BAKFlip CS truck bed cover and rack which I was told would take 2 weeks, 7 weeks over $2,000 and multiple phone calls and emails later I'm told it's at the pick up location ( 2 hours drive) to find they sent only a small part of the order.
2 weeks later I find out they can't even supply what they are selling on there site.
Summer almost gone and no kayaking because of this incompetent company.
The worst thing is they don't even take responsibility, they only take the money.
Now 9 weeks later I'm fighting for my money back and totally helpless besides submitting an angry review which I hate doing.
My advice would be do research before buying here.

Don't waste your time or money with these jokers... If they send you the wrong parts or you don't receive parts they will prolong and drag out the return! I have spent 5 days, multiple emails and 2 phone calls, and still don't have any satisfaction! Absolute waste of my time for 125.00 in parts!

Rip off
July 17, 2018

I ordered a front bumper for my car. And when I ordered the representative told me check the item at the time of delivery before signing. If i sign without checking then they are not responsible if any damage. So i was doing the same exact thing what i was told. But the delivery driver said I cant check it before i sign. So i dint know what to do. I refused to take the delivery. When i called carid customer service number they said they will get back to me. After few hours they called me said that i have to redelivery fees. And the after two days they said they will deliver without any fees. But it been two weeks after first attempt of delivery, they never contacted me again for delivery. Whenever i call them they say wait 24 hours and they will get back to me.

I somewhat recently order a wheel and tire package from carid.com (June 16). The navigation and input of my vehicle information seemed easy and simple. But I was giving a shipping date that was changed two separate times. So I called and complained about that fact. They have me $65 off my order. Ok cool, mistakes happen. Now I finally received my order on Thursday the 12th. Go to put them on Saturday evening and come to find out they have me the wrong bolt pattern for my truck. I checked my order to see if there was any mistakes, nope they just mounted to the wrong wheels. Also there is a white substance around multiple bolts on the exterior of the wheels. If they do not make this right I will continue to write reviews and show pictures of the wheels being mounted on my truck (well trying to be mounted) and copies of all the emails back and forth. I would definitely stay away from this company. Only way I will continue to use them and recommend them again is if they make this right in a timely manner. This whole experience has been a headache for me. I have apt on the 24th to get my truck inspected and I need these tires before that date. What ever happened to quality and good customer service.

A great company

At first I thought my relationship with carid was not going to be a good one.
They however satisfied me to where my experience wound up better than i expected.
My first impression about carid was wrong. Good honest Company.

Dear Tony,

We apologize if any confusing information was provided to you regarding the refund. The product you have ordered was on back-order and we offered you to cancel the order or wait for a 10% discount. You agreed to wait and we have issued $6.05 on 06/29/17.

On 09/08/17 we have issued another 10% discount in the amount of $5.44 since you again agreed to wait for the order.

On 02/12/18 one more 10% discount in the amount of $4.90 was issued for your waiting.

We have been sending notifications about your order continuously informing you that the part is still out of stock. However, there was no reply from you and it was your decision to wait for the item.

On 07/02/18 you have requested the cancellation and on 07/05/2018 we have sent a refund via check since the initial transaction was older than 180 days. The refund amount is $49.54. However, initially you paid $60.49 and we have already refunded $16.39 to you for all discounts provided. Therefore, the refund amount should be $44.10. It means that we refunded more than you paid to us. Please check this information. I have also sent you an email with the transaction ID for each refund which was issued to you.

I am truly sorry if the cooperation with us caused a frustration to you. We really did not mean to insult you.

We hope for your understanding.

Sincerely,
Consumer Relations Team at CARID.com

I ordered four items which, despite ostensibly being available in stock, didnt actually ship for a week or more. When the items did finally ship, they were broken into three separate parcels, each of which shipped on three different days, and were correspondingly scheduled for arrival on different days. Fast forward a full 12 days, and only one of the three parcels has arrived. Why did I pay $20 for shipping? Why shouldnt I just order from Amazon and get my stufftomorrow? I dont think Amazon represents the salvation of e-commerce, I dont really even like the company, but arent we beyond the days of a 7 to 10 day lead time just for picking and shipping an in stock product?

Dear Nate,

We appreciate your review and your attention to the shipping process. Some items shipped from the different warehouses due to the stock availability. It means that parts are shipped from those warehouses where they are in stock. I would gladly offer some compensation to you for your frustration.

Look forward to hearing from you soon.

I was having an issue with an item I had purchased from CARID. I had already returned it once for the same item I really didnt want to go through it again. So when I called in I spoke with a customer service rep and she had told me that basically all they can do is send me out the same item, so I ask to speak with a supervisor and she got her supervisor. So I explain to him what was going on and he listened he did not Interrupt me not one time, when I finish letting him know the issues he then ask me what item would I like to exchange it for so I told him and then with no hassle he processed the new order, I really appreciated that he listened to me and understood where I was coming from. Once again great customer service I will continue shopping with CARID!

Ordered a dash kit on 5/23, said it would ship on 6/28, it did not. Called Carid after I did not get a shipping conformation, they said they called the manufacturer and there was a delay, which is fine, but they could have let me know. New ship date was 7/09, did not receive an order conformation, called carid AGAIN, every time I speak with customer service they say they cannot get ahold of the manufacturer! Really?
So, nobody has a clue as to the status of my order. Guess I just donated $250.00 to Carid. Never again!

Bought a product online. CARID shipped the incorrect product. Order was incorrect, and they refused to compensate for wasted duty charges, etc. No communication. After not hearing anything for weeks, and only AFTER a message was sent asking for a refund, did they then communicate saying the correct product would be another 4 weeks. Save your money and time. Buy your car products elsewhere.

July 6, 2018

I ordered a $450 cowl induction hood they threw it in a chintzy cardboard box and shipped it across the country. What a surprise it arrived damaged after waiting 6 days I left it on the delivery truck and had it returned.
There resolution for the problem was shipping another Hood the exact same way. They did refund my money after I informed them I would not be waiting for any more damaged hoods.

Dear Chad,

It is a frustration for us to know that your hood arrived damaged. The Freight items are usually shipped on a pallet. And, unfortunately, we are unable to control the way the shipping company handles the delivery. However, we can offer some compensation to you for the unsatisfactory experience. Please email me at alsion.rh@carid.com with your order number, so I could settle this for you.

Look forward for your reply.

This company is a dumpster fire. Chatted with one of their "Product Specialists" to get a better idea of product features and he said all were as shown in the photo. Through more research, I found out what he said was a total lie before the product shipped. I tried cancelling the order before it shipped and, even after confirming the order was cancelled, it shipped anyway. To "make up for my inconvenience" of an extremely expensive and hard item to ship back they offered me a $15 gift certificate to buy from them again. Not a chance - you guys suck!

Update based on your message acting like you care:
1) Your site advertises it would ship within 24 hours but it didn't - more like 3-4 days

2) After I found out your rep might be lying, I contacted customer service immediately to get clarification. Your confirmation of receipt message even states that your reply takes up to 24 hours (which it did) so IF you actually did ship on time, are you saying that no one can email you about the issue and get it resolved?

3) If your answer is that I should've called, I did. I left a message that was after hours and no one ever got back to me.

Dear John,

Thank you for sharing your experience with other consumers. Unfortunately, sometimes orders are shipped faster than cancellation request goes through. According to the expectation we list on our website, we must ship parts within 24 business hours. This is our commitment to customers.

While the cancellation requests are processed within 24 business hours. The fact that your order was shipped before the cancellation went through means that we fulfilled the promise we gave to you and shipped the order as fast as we can. Please email me at alsion.rh@carid.com with your order number, so I could check the situation and offer some appropriate solution for your satisfaction. I am sure we can make this right.

Look forward to hearing from you.

Avoid at all cost
June 30, 2018

Ordered tires and wheels that said in stock ships in 24-48 hours, 14 days later they shipped to be delivered 6 days after that, to discover the wrong install kit, first phone call was told I would be contacted in 24 hours to get right part out, its now been a week and several phone calls later and still have a set of wheels I cant install and no help in sight. Terrible service, unable to tell the truth and zero chance they help with any problems. Would have picked a zero if it was an option!

They tried to make nice on social media for all the problems and offered a discount on my next purchase. Behind the social media trying to pretend like they are concerned, they still have my $500.00 and have not refunded my money or the $60.00 it cost me to mail it back. They keep saying they have to confirm with the manufacture the parts have been returned in good condition, even after I told them only one of the nine items had been opened. I even sent them photos at their request. I dont want a discount on a new purchase! I want my money back on what you sent me that does not fit. I dont care who the manufacture is. Carid is representing and selling these companies products and if something is wrong with it, they blame all the issues and delays on these companies and dont stand behind what they are selling.

Worst return process ever!
June 30, 2018
Previous review

I purchased a dash kit that did not fit properly. They argued it fit properly & that I had to provide photos, etc. Then they couldnt find my order. They did everything they could to avoid the return process. This same run around went on with three different Cardi rep's. It has gone on for weeks now and has been a complete disaster. I had to pay almost $60 to return the product out of my own pocket. I will never buy another product from them. See if what you are looking for is on Amazon and if you should need to return it you can do it in a matter of minutes.
