I made an order for a new XS battery for my car and I used the acima payment option. When I got my battery, it was defective and I had to send it back. I talked to the manager and she went back and fourth about if it was broken or not. I requested my order to be expedited as I needed my car. They waisted about two weeks and still never sent it back. Then when I demanded a full refund on the acima loan for said product. They gave me the money back and made a whole new lease to charge me for the same thing. I had to call and talk to them and Acima for the month of December. Today is 1-2-2025 I still have not gotten refund for lease that I never made. $#*! them and California

Followed the procedure with requesting a RMA. After a week of them receiving the item, they did not contact me, but now claiming missing parts. However, they showed me a stock picture not the actual unit. Parts were in there and can't be used without the unit. Stall tactics so they don't refund you. Avoid this place!

Item was defective, I purchased the extended warranty where you get to pay for shipping as well. The unit came back with one of the screws partially in and this is supposed to be marine grade. How well can I trust they actually were effective if this is the sloppy work they are going to do. Do yourself a favor and shop somewhere else

Worst customer service ever
January 27, 2023

I purchased a double din pioneer unit from them and received it on 11/15/2022. The shipping box was damaged, the radio box was pierced, there was no packing in the box,and have of the features work on the radio. I called the company and told them the situation. At first, they wanted me to pay shipping for a defective "new item". Then, they said since the shipping box was damaged they would pay shipping and I would receive a new radio. I provided all pictures asked. It's been almost 3 months and I still have not had my issue resolved. I have called multiple times and been given the run around. I was told they are waiting on UPS to accept the claim. That was a month ago. I called two days ago and was told a supervisor was going to call me due to the long time frame. Still waiting on that call. I will never purchase from them again. The picture of the radio box is worse than it looks on the picture.

Products are great, but when it comes to customer services they are bad at their services. They charge you for every little thing and they start making up stuff as they go to avoid telling you the truth. Do not expect a good phone customer service cause they are not. Product is good overall, but if you choose something incorrectly then you will be stuck with customer service and it will be annoying.

I purchased a "factory refurbished" 10 inch kicker compc for a decent price. Problem is it wasn't refurbished it was a blown speaker and I'm guessing they knew when they sold it to me. Their return policy is you pay for the shipping cost back to them. By the time you pay shipping back it's not even worth returning and they know that. Basically theft by deception. Only reason I gave it 2 stars is because of the extremely fast shipping. Buyer beware here!

I will never purchase from this website and I put it on my Facebook for my 5000 friends. I spoke to 2 people in Asia and they just hang up on you. They don't understand English well either. I simply went online to make a purchase. Then the next day I get an email saying "oh we can't ship your order because we don't have your phone number". In the meantime I paid for UPS second Day air and I got nothing but grief.

Terrible company to use!
February 27, 2024

The SIMPLY sent the wrong dash kit. No big deal. BUT, they want to argue which is TERRIBLE customer service, instead of simply correcting the problem. I just want to swap kits but now they say I have to spend MORE money correcting THEIR mistake. Typical corporate BS.! WRONG! I'll spend MY money how I choose. I've used them a few times before but never again. They will RIP YOU OFF! DO NOT order from them. No tracking after order. No emails at all, as they say they will. TERRIBLE CUSTOMER SERVICE!👹👹👹👹👹👹👹👹

Crutchfield customer service is World class!. THESE PEOPLE AT ONLINE PROMISE, BUT DONT DELIVER!. What if I had a Major problem? Think I wanna be on hold for an hour?. Hell no! About to send all back. This is customer service at its WORST! NEVER AGAIN!

Ordered "brand new" speakers. Got an unsealed box of mounting hardware without the speakers. (!) Paid $140+

Escalating with the vendor and PayPal. Notice how your credit card has trouble working? They want you to use PayPal because they get the money right away, and it's way harder for you to get your money back.

Nobody else had these speakers, because the company (JL Audio) is set to release updated product lines. Needed to match the speakers already in my system. Took a chance. Got screwed. DON'T DO IT. Hopefully you see this review in time.

Waste of time and money
November 1, 2017

I ordered a pair of what was suppose to be brand new speakers. When I received them it was so obvious they they were a return/open box from another customer. The main tape seal was still there but someone had clearly forced open the box from the side and I could tell that someone had repackaged everything inside. I asked for a refund and returned them. It took almost two months of constantly calling to finally get just part of my refund back. Don't waste your time with this low budget company... use https://www.crutchfield.com/ instead, they are the best.

They have had great items at competitive prices. I have never used expedited shipping, but I have received my orders in complete working orders. I ya e done a fair amount of business with them, and now find myself in need of their services again. Hopefully the good trend continues. Five stars from me.

Simply Horrendous
February 14, 2013

Simply Horrendous. Dealing with these people; you might as well shoot yourself in the foot. They are extremely rude to you for no reason. I didn't quite understand. I was nice and respectful and above all patient. Throughout the whole process.

I ordered a sound processor from them, even purchased the additional 4 year extended protection plan. You think they would like to help you after you shove more money into their lap. But no, they dont even treat you like a number. They like to ignore phone calls and even e-mails. When I received a response, WEEKS later, I had problems with my unit, so they insisted on "testing" and repairing the unit telling me it would take "maybe 6 to 8 weeks".

3 MONTHS later, they just send me a replacement unit. Which they could have done in the first place. No customer service, no asking for feedback, no humans?

I called on their customer service department asked if it is possible to do price matching. There is a price difference of $60 for the item that I want but the agent did her best to give me a reasonable price. I Highly recommend their shop despite of the bad reviews from the previous years they are still worth it!

Stay away
April 28, 2021

Try and call them and lets lee how long before you will get someone on the line...
I tried ordering on line an item that was back ordered with most vendors. The online checkout didn't work, so I call. Somehow, a lady picked up and took my credit info promising this item will ship same day (Friday) or next business day. The following week, checking their site, the order status was "shipped" but no further info was available. 8 days later, I called to check on the order, after 40 minutes of constant attempt (you will get thrown to voice mail after 3 minute), I got a guy on the line that upon deeper look told me the item is back ordered and never shipped.
WHAT A WASTE OF TIME!
Why did you charge my card on an item you claim you have but you don't? I asked for a refund. I already have this item which Abt had in stock. But the refund from OnlineCarStereo never came. I filed a dispute with my credit card company and awaiting resolution. This place put me through so much troubles.
