I purchased wheel's and tires from CarID and decided I wanted to cancel my order (had not shipped yet). I was told that my order can not be cancelled despite it not reflecting that anywhere on the product page or during the checkout process. On the wheel page, it says they can be returned before the tires have been mounted.
I next asked if I could instead make a change to my order. I wanted to see about buying different (more expensive) tires. They told me that in order to do that, they would charge me a 10% restocking fee for tires that have not even shipped. Additionally, I looked everywhere on their site and could not see any mention of a restocking fee for cancelled orders or for returned orders. They are very unfriendly and dishonest. Stay far away from this vendor. They claim quick and easy returns, yet I couldnt even make a change to an order that hasnt even shipped.
Finally, they advertised my purchase as being in stock and shipped within 48 hours. When I spoke to them, They were still waiting for my purchase to arrive to them 4 days later.
Dear Nick,
We appreciate your review for our store and would like to apologize for misunderstanding with the cancellation policy. According to the policy, all custom orders are non-cancellable and non-returnable. You may check the details on the website at https://www.carid.com/help-center/product-return.html The disclaimer is shown at the checkout stage. Without having confirmed that you have read this notification, you could not have the order placed.
However, we were ready to cancel your order as an exception. There is no information on the website regarding the fee since they are applied only in some particular situations.
We have already sent you an email and offered a compensation for the delay.
You may reply me back at alison.rh@carid.com with your opinion.
Thank you in advance!
Sincerely,
Consumer Relations Team at CARID.com
