ALEX made my order so easy! I have had nothing but issues ordering everything I need for my car but this was fast and painless! He was awesome!
I ordered the parts and with no time I got them to me as well as fast friendly customer service, and great shipping times and prices very competitive
My orders are always shipped quickly and the CS staff is always helpful with helping me find what is best for what Im looking for. I am hooked
Carid is the WORST. To say the least dealing with Carid has not been a pleasant experience and customer service is non existent. The entire order has been wrong with damaged items, RMA's sent for the wrong manufacturer, parts not fitting as they are for the wrong vehicle, their mistake, not mine.
1- The grille I ordered was damaged, parts were also missing.
2- lights come with no instruction, I had to modify them to fit my truck 4 hours spent on a simple 30 minute project.
3- now the Weather Tech window covers do not fit as they are for a wrong vehicle not my 2010 F-150 super-crew. Not Weather Tech fault as Carid ordered the wrong parts
I have not been able to speak to any supervisor, many hours of my time wasted, 8 phone calls and counting trying to get these problems addressed with 10 plus e-mails, still no resolution as to the issues at hand. A measily $30 discount that does not come close to my time wasted with calls e-mails and installation of all items being frustrating and with no accomplishment in sight.
DO NOT BUY ANYTHING FROM THIS ORGANIZATION AS THEY ARE CLUELESS AND JUST A BUNCH OF ORDER TAKERS. NO KNOWLEDGE OF WHAT THEY SELL OR ANYTHING ABOUT CARS. What a concept.
I finally went to my credit card company and disputed the entire sales purchase of $800.00 plus dollars. I need to get a refund for the grille, I also need a refund for the Weather Tech products and an RMA. This should not be hard to do, nor should it take days to accomplish.
This company really sucks! Do yourself a BIG favor... Go somewhere else to buy your car accessories!
I really don't like resorting to negative reviews. But it's truly sad when customers have to resort to posting one to get something done. I placed an order with CARiD on July 4th for a hood shield for my wife's 2013 Hyundai, to be shipped to Canada. My order confirmation included shipping costs. UPS attempted a delivery to my home on July 11th while I was at work. I expected the package would be dropped outside my door. UPS left a notice at my door informing me that additional fees were owing and had to be paid before the package could be left. At no time did CARid advise me of additional shipping costs or fees when confirming my order. UPS attempted two more deliveries at the same time of day while I was away at work. I called UPS to find out how to get my package re-delivered. I was told after three delivery attempts it was returned to one of their depots and labelled as an abandoned package? Then I was told only the manufacturer can authorize the package to be released so it can be delivered. I called CARiD to find out what could be done and was told what I already knew - that after 3 delivery attempts the package was treated as abandoned. William in customer service told me he had contacted the product manager to check the information about the delivery and would get back to me in 24 hours. That was 4 days ago. I followed up again and still received no response. So here I am almost a month later waiting on this shipment that couldn't be delivered because of extra charges that I was never told about. This looked like a professional organization to deal with for auto accessories but the customer service has been anything but professional. I will be pursuing them for a refund if something is not done soon.
Dear Trevor J.,
We do apologize for the inconvenience caused by delivery of the product to Canada. We feel horrible that can't follow up on the delivery of every package to the customer's door but we work hard to reduce amount of such issues. When we place International orders we charge customers for the products and shipping but unfortunately we are not able to cover brokerage/duty fee requested upon delivery.
We understand how you are feeling about this transaction and would love to get this issue taken care of for you. Please reply to this message with some order details so one of our dedicated specialists can contact you shortly. Your time and cooperation will be greatly appreciated!
Sincerely,

Don't waste your time or money buying from this company (CARID). I purchased a Vanguard bull bar from them. Per there website they say hassle free refunds and technical support. This could not be farther from the truth. They have no technical support and their hassle free refund, not so much. I received the package from UPS and was told by the UPS driver that delivered it that he had a discussion with his manager that morning about the horrible condition of the package. The package was in such poor condition that part of the bull bar was hanging out of the box. And this in no way was UPS's fault, it was in the way that CARID packaged it. It looked like it had been repackaged and then sent to me. Their installations procedures refer you to a picture and tell you to install per picture, no written instructions. When we called for technical support we were informed they have no technical support. After looking at other websites it is very clear that trimming of under carriage plastic is required for the installation of their bull bars. This was never mentioned on CARID'swebsite, nor was it mentioned in the picture showing how to install the bull bar. They are now trying to tell me that they will only refund my purchase price minus the shipping charges of $30 and minus the taxes paid. Why would I not be able to get my taxes and original shipping charges back for their inability to provide a product that can't be installed safely and without frame modifications? I WOULD GIVE THEM NO STARS BUT YOU HAVE TO AT LEAST GIVE THEM ONE STAR TO DO A REVIEW.
Dear Vickie,
I would like to apologize for the poor packaging and confusing description of the item. Please address this issue to me directly at alison.rh@carid.com, so I could double check it and make things right. I would need o know your order number to move further.
Look forward to hearing from you soon.
Thank you in advance.

Ordered a set of taillights and one was broken. Called customer service and told them the situation. They had a new set ready to ship that next day
Spent a whole month trying to return a product that had the wrong wires for my car and at the end couldn't return it completely waste of time...
This is the second time I've ordered through CARiD. The service was great and Art was very helpful. I'll definitely be back next time.
Got new car and had question on fitment of floor mats and had all my questions answered quickly and properly. Was impressed with service.
I recently had a package damaged in shipping and they were quick to solve the problem and get a new part on the way.
Called to change color of items that I ordered. Request was processed and I received my order on time and in the correct color.
Got great help from customer service and got all my products for a great price and good shipping time. Definitely will be ordering again.
Kay at CARiD was very helpful and pleasant when i used Carid on the past they always gave me good service and have good products and always been happy with everything
I have found Carid to be very helpful when ordering and assuring order is correct or does everything to make sure order is corrected.
Thanks 2 staff my item came quick and i love it got a item for my trailer that ive bin wanting ebony guided me through process and we got it done
Very Good Service Mary she is excellent Great place to order parts! Will order from these folks again. My hat is off to You!
Bought a set of Spyder head light, called CARid several times over 3 month asking technical question before I bought! After every question answered the sales person would then ask me to place a order, like dealing with a car salesman. Answer question then try to close customer. Getting my Credit card was the most important thing to the sales person! Incredible, was never told that the headlamps were illegal to run due to them having a slight tint. I drive a Benz E 350 not doubt it was going on the public HWY. Never thought to ask because the web site stated the headlamps met ALL DOT required regulation and the hook was I would get EXPERT help from CARId... Call SPYDER Auto parts got a worse run around, all I was looking for was a exchange not a refund. Was told by spyder it was CARiD fault Im currently being told by CARiD that they are talking to SPYDER and to be patience,, so far 3 weeks and to many DIFFERENT "Customer" service emails from a half dozen different"Customer" service people... what a nightmare. Will put follow up post when this is finally finished, my suggestion is buy elsewhere. Certainly not Spyder auto and maybe not CARiD

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!

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
