Genuine Replacement Parts reviews and complaints
I bought a part from Genuine Replacement Parts
I bought a part from Genuine Replacement Parts. I returned the part to the them, as instructed and unopened, but they have refused to refund my money. I bought a part from Genuine Replacement Parts ("GRP") for my washer. Included in the package they shipped to me was a return shipping label. I returned the part to GRP unopened and unused, using the return shipping label GRP included in the package. I decided to reach out to them through email, when I did not receive any refund. GRP is refusing to refund my money, claiming that I shipped the part to a wrong address and that I did not obtain Returned Merchandise Authorization (RMA) before retuning the part. I told them the return had already been authorized because they included a return shipping label in the part they shipped to me and that the return label requires the part be returned to an address in El Paso, TX. I told GRP that they created the return shipping label and that they decided El Paso, TX as the location the part was to be returned to. They responded stating as follows: "The part was sent to El Paso, TX, and was most likely inspected by a Frigidaire tech and then disposed of." I responded that I did not just decide to ship the part to El Paso, TX; but that their return shipping label listed the El Paso address; and that UPS delivered it to the address in the return shipping label GRP created. Then, they asked me to contact UPS for proof of delivery. I did just that and sent the proof to them. Then they retorted to their line of defense that I shipped the part to a wrong address even though that was the address they listed in the return shipping label they created. They did not deny that they created the return shipping label, but kept insisting that I shipped the part to a wrong address. GRP is refusing to refund my money.

On 12/12 my wife ordered from Genuine Replacement Parts, A crisper pan for our Kitchen Aid microwave/convection oven combo
On 12/12 my wife ordered from Genuine Replacement Parts, A crisper pan for our Kitchen Aid microwave/convection oven combo. She had gotten the part number(W10187336a) from the owners manual provided with the unit which was purchased 6 years ago. The total cost was $52.75 which included tax and $7.52 for shipping. When the order arrived and we opened the box, We discovered the crisper pan we received was incorrect due the part # label on the outside of the box was different (W10367384) and the pan was smaller with dimensions of 12" in diameter and 1" deep when it should of been 12 /1/4" by 1 1/2". After contacting Genuine Replacement parts and providing as they requested, several pictures of the part I received and the box it came in, pictures of the microwave serial and model number, and measurements of the part I received. After replying to 12 e-mails from 8 different people mostly wanting the same information over a period of 5 days, I finally received instructions for sending the part back. Unfortunately these instructions did not include a return label. I would have to pay to ship the item back and wait for a quality inspection team to inspect the returned item and then pay a restocking fee of up to 25%. Because of their error, I had to pay to have the wrong item shipped to me, now they want me to pay to ship it back, and pay a restocking fee. My RMA # is 3366189 and the incident # is 415713. I have asked by e-mail several times to have a return label sent to me and to have the restocking fee waved but all I get in return is their claim I ordered the wrong item for my unit which does not make sense since the did not send me the item I ordered or were not trying to send me the right one. All I wanted was to send the wrongly shipped item back with a provided shipping label and get a full refund back.

I purchased a WaterWall Assmebly for by Samsung Dishwasher. When I received it, I was surprised to see that there was no magnet, whihc is one of the two items in this assembly and is necessary in order to action the movement of the assembly. I complained about this, sent pictures of what I received and what I should receive but found absolutely no collaboration from GENUINE REPLACEMENET PARTS. Even with the obviousness of pictures of the assembly, "Destinee" of GENUINE REPLACEMENET PARTS just kept telling that I had not sent her pictures. Then I was told to pay for the return shipping of an incomplete assembly. Unbelievable.
Ordered right part for wrong model called them couldn't just swap to right part so had to buy two ..got wrong part delivered 7 days ago but no right part can't get them to answer phone and can't email them
Purchased a replacement knobs for my stove. The knobs does not fit my stove. The cost was about 37.00. I call to return and get the correct knobs was told they don't take returns. They should at least exchange for the correct item. They indicated I lost my money. I would like my money back. I will not do business with companies that don't provide good customer service.

Transaction date = 2/20/2022 Paid $63.88 through PayPal for a Kenmore icemaker Business committed to provide me a working and compatible part Part does not work Invoice#XXXXXXX This item was purchased through the website for the model fridge that I have. There was a mix-up somewhere and apparently this doesn't fit my model of fridge. All these parts are identical so I installed the part. It worked for a few days and stopped. I filed a return claim. GRP decided that the part was wrong but will not refund because it was installed. How else could I tell if it worked or not. Called and emailed to complain. The policy is to not refund the product.
I called and spoke with a rep and was referred to a part for purchase
I called and spoke with a rep and was referred to a part for purchase. The part arrived and does not fit. I have contacted too many times for a return I called on Dec. 29th, 2020 for a part for my Samsung referigerator RFG293HARS ( I called personally because their website has a part number listed twice with two different descriptions and amounts). I ordered the recommended part. The part arrived and does not fit. I called the same day of arrival and no answer from the customer service phone number or live chat, so I emailed (my only remaining option). I have received emails back from three different reps; ***, *** and ***. I was told I didn't order the right part! I called and a rep gave me that part number. I sent required photos - oddly the packaged bubble wrap has two totally different model numbers listed on it. I was sent an email about return instructions, but No RMA number was sent (required). I emailed again, again, and different people reply with no concerns or RMA addressed. I have the return policies. All I want is an authorized RMA with a prepaid label (as I ordered what was recommended for my refrigerator model) for a replacement and/or total refund. I am frustrated as this has not been resolved or countless emails.It is so frustrating! I do not feel I am being treated fairly. Brandon even replied in his email "to order the correct part next time for my model number". Hello, I had my model number and gave it to the rep. I cannot control what they sent but it doesn't fit and I want a prepaid label to return (as this was sent to me in error by Genuine Replacement Parts) for a full refund or replacement that works. My order number was XXXXXXX for a bottom right bin cover for a Samsung refrigerator model RFG293HARS. The incident number for my email is XXXXXX. I have more photos and emailed documents but could not attach them all if you need for review.

I ordered a range top to replace mine. The order included my model number of Range, that I have. When I got the range top it was not even close to the one I needed. They 'Genuine Replacement Parts' said send it back and that they did not have the one I wanted. I went to UPS in Kailua Kona, Hawaii and they said it would be $192.40 to send back the $244.00 range top. I then ask for help with shipping since they sent the wrong one. They said 'No' and there would be a $25 restocking charge. OUCH!
I called the Genuine Replacement parts phone number to find the part number I needed to fix my stove. I have a Whirlpool Rf368LXMS model stove. They told me I needed a top element broil part number WP9760771. I ordered the part from them and paid a total of 52.28. The item arrived and it is 4 inches too long, it is not even close to the correct size. I called the number to return it and sent 10 emails with the very specific information and photos they requested. I FINALLY got approval to send it back, at my expense. I wanted them to pay for shipping back but they refused. The UPS store was going to charge me $79 for shipping to return it, USPS told me it would be $64. I did not send it back because the shipping will cost more than the item. I am out $52.28 for absolutely nothing. The company is a scam. They told me what part I needed then sent it and stole $52.28 from me. Here is my invoice. INVOICE SHIPPING TO: ADDRESS: Point Circle NW Gig Harbor WA United States PHONE: EMAIL: [Redacted]@yahoo.com DATE: Jan 02, 2022 INVOICE NUMBER: # [Redacted] TOTAL: $52.28 1 x Whirlpool Part# [Redacted] Oven Broil Element (OEM) @ $40.89 EA Sub-Total: $40.89 Fedex/UPS Ground Shipping : $7.52 WA Sales Tax: $3.87 Total: $52.28
they sent me a non-packaged used part that is wrong and refuse to take it back because its not packaged... it arrived not packaged the part on the left, clearly discolored and old not packaged is from the seller. the part on the right, pristine white, is from my machine also note the part numbers are different and how they connect is different. never installed it because its different, and clearly used.
After purchasing an appliance part from GRP I received it and the very next day returned it for a refund. I paid for shipment to me and for return. I have received a refund for about 95% of the product cost, however GRP has refused to refund me for the $6.99 cost of shipment to me (which I paid for as well as for the return). I was appalled in the manner by which Brian (the customer service manager) responded to my request The response from Brian is one of the most disgusting/insulting correspondences I have ever received from a supplier. If he is indeed your Customer Service managers/leader, his email does not reflect favorably on its owner nor the business. He covers issues in his response that have absolutely nothing to do with my request (for refund of a shipping charge that I paid for). His defensiveness is offensive, the tone suggest that he sees customers as a pain in the butt, his choice of words leaves a lot to be desired, he rambles, he poses challenges (hello I'm a customer the reason he has a job) and talks down (condescending) to me. Directly below I have included a sample of that response I can not understand why you feel entitled to receiving a refund for the initial 6.99 shipping costs; however, we will not provide you with a refund for this cost of shipping. I also reviewed your support ticket and can affirm that our employees handled your refund and matter correctly. Moreover, we have already devoted a sufficient amount of time to explaining why we do not refund initial shipping costs. At this time, there is unfortunately nothing more we can add to justify our decision. This will be our final communication on the matter.
Returned new, unused refrigerator part, and refund denied
Returned new, unused refrigerator part, and refund denied. Company stated part was "used" and had "markings" on it which was basis for denial. Ordered refrigerator ice maker auger motor for my Kitchen Aid refrig, model # KSRS25lKSS01 on 2/25, for the price of $122.89 plus tax and shipping, totaling $140.60. Paid on-line with my MC debit card. Purchase order # XXXXXXX. When the new motor arrived, I compared it to my old, removed original motor, and noted that it did not match the mounting screw holes as on the original, mounting base. It was apparently NOT the OEM part for the ice auger. I then decided to try and restore my original motor to operate. I was eventuallyt successful to unsieze the motor. I then contacted GPR to get RMA for return of the new/unused motor. I sent multiple photos of the part for return and refund, with copy of the paid customer invoice, and explained to Caitlin that it was the incorrect part and that I was able to restore function to my old motor, not needing to replace the motor. l was approved to send back the new motor to GRP, and mailed it back on 3/10. The return was received by GRP on 3/16, but did not hear from them for some time. I called and they stated the part had to be inspected by the warehouse. I called again on 4/6 and was told via e-mail that my return was rejected stating that it was received with markings from installation or attempted installation, and is no longer in "new" condition. They refused to issue a refund. Instead they offered to send back the part for a fee of $21.60! On 4/7, I called to speak with a supervisor-***, but was unavailable- left message to have him call to discuss the matter, but have not received a call back. Called on 4/8, customer service rep stated that *** was in a meeting, but left an e-mail. Checked my phone, but no e-mail was received, the rep read my the e-mail on her computer, which reiterated the above decision.

I ordered a part that had a misleading image for part I needed
I ordered a part that had a misleading image for part I needed. I asked for a refund and for me to get a refund I had to send pictures of the item? I ordered a part on this website. The part had 2 images, one was the part from one side, and the other was a schematic that indicated the correct part. When I received the item, the opposite side (not shown in the picture online) was not correct, but the other side was, the schematic in the picture was correct matching my part too. I let the company know of the issue, when I went to return the part, they had updated their site to match the correct part that was shipped and changed the price. They said they would return the part if I sent them pictures of the part they sent, and that is all I thought they wanted. It was a weird request, but I still did it, then they said they wanted to see the serial number tag of my washer, I don't think that is any of their business considering the scenario at hand. Their part was described wrong on their website but they want to see my washer number to be sure? If I'm asking for a refund, I'm a customer, I should be able to get a refund even if my part was correct and I just found another part cheaper somewhere else. I did not install the part. It was just taken out of the bag and then realized it was not correct. When my wife called to confront them about this, she was already upset because of the length we were having to go to get a refund on this 30 dollar part. She called and told them the scenario and they still did not want to issue the refund. They said they sent the correct part for our washer. This is not professional or how you work with customers. My wife then was very upset and then put on hold where she was then hung up on. I got an email from the company later saying that, because of my wife being upset, they were locking me out of their system and I would not get any responses or refunds. If this wasn't a 30 dollar part. I would sue.

Wouldn't honor return policy
Wouldn't honor return policy. Wrong part number on their website. Called within minutes of ordering to cancel and refused to cancel. Hello, I apologize about this but upon requesting for a return for you I noticed the price is under $30. We can not accept returns under $30. The reason is that we do hold a small restocking fee and the customer is responsible for the return shipping cost. We would hate for you to spend more on returning the part and only get a partial refund. Please see our return policy: https://www.genuinereplacementparts.com/policies.php?return_policies "We do not accept returns for any items valued under $30.00. We do not cover the cost of shipping nor refund any shipping costs for the return of non defective items."

I ordered and received a damaged refrigerator part
I ordered and received a damaged refrigerator part. After 11 days, I am still unable to get any response from customer service to resolve this issue. I ordered a defrost heating element for a refrigerator on 6/8 via the seller's website. Total bill was $78.71 and was paid for via my Citiband/AT&T Universal Card. Website said it would be delivered on Wed 6/10 via FedEx Ground. The first red flags went up when I received receipt incorrectly showing shipping address as billing address and billing my office instead of me personally. More red flags when part arrived a day late, and via UPS Ground. (I have no complaints with regards to this only that it was misrepresented.) Part arrived at 12:05 on 6/11. I immediately opened and inspected the part. The part arrived in the original Whirlpool box still sealed in the original brown tape. This box was placed inside a UPS Express Tube by the seller/shipper. All packages were in pristine condition upon arrival. The part is a heating element, which is enclosed in a glass tube. The reason the part arrived damaged is that the part was wrapped in bubble-wrap and placed in the Whirpool carton (by Whirlpool) and most of the bubble-wrap contained no air. Within 45 minutes of receiving the package I tried to contact the seller by phone, online chat, and sent emails (along with photographs) to two different email addresses. The customer service email on their website differs from the customer service email they give you while waiting endlessly to get through via their telephone line. After 11 days of trying to reach the seller by phone, and email, I have yet to reach anyone or elicit any type of response. I do however, believe they are aware of the situation because I checked the UPS Tracking info on this package a few days ago, and noticed that they apparently have filed a claim with UPS. UPS tracking info shows that I (receiver) reported damage, but I only reported to seller. I never contacted UPS nor do I believe UPS is responsible for the damage. I have attached receipt, photographs screenshots of emails etc all in one PDF file for your reference.

Genuine Replacement Parts is taking advantage of customers by raising shipping costs AFTER sale is completed and making it difficult to return
Genuine Replacement Parts is taking advantage of customers by raising shipping costs AFTER sale is completed and making it difficult to return items. I had a broken oven door. I ordered two parts from them on separate invoices to do the repair job. One item was received but the other did not. When I called to see what was happening, they were holding on to the part until I would pay an additional $85.59 for shipping. On their web site I purchased that item and paid shipping. This unposted charge was added AFTER the sale. Due to this being outrageous they offered to fully refund this invoice, which they did. I ordered the parts I needed from another supplier so I could have all items from once single supplier to avoid future issues. I asked them for a return label for the other item I had received. They are declining to do so and are sending me unreasonable instructions for returning the item to a different third party. I never agreed to this return policy nor were they able to produce anything showing that I had agreed to it. Here are some of the details from their emailed return instructions: "PLEASE DO NOT DEFACE/WRITE ON THE MANUFACTURER SHIPPING BOX! If you need to wrap the box in plain wrapping paper, please do so to protect the manufacturing shipping box! All returns must be properly packaged and shipped to protect the value of the returned products and all items must be returned in saleable condition, packed in the original box with sufficient packaging materials. "Keep the manufacturer packaging in decent condition for returns. The use of USPS tape, duct tape, writing with sharpies, etc, will make the boxes unable to be resold and will result in denial of your return and refund." Many of those details are unusual and since I opened the box already to check the contents there is no way to meet these conditions after the fact. The return issue is related to invoice XXXXXXX. This has not yet been refunded. The scam involving raising shipping is related to invoice XXXXXXX. This was already refunded. I tried to resolve this with them (case XXXXXX) several times and they won't even allow me to escalate to the case to a decision maker.

The following link will show you that by using the website, and purchasing a part with us that you agree to our terms. Also in this link is our shipping policies, which states; " In the event a product is listed at an incorrect price due to typographical, photographic, or technical error or error in pricing information received from our suppliers, GenuineReplacementParts shall have the right to refuse or cancel any orders placed for product listed at the incorrect price." Instead of just cancelling, we offered you the chance to keep the order. Sometimes the shipping carrier will increase the freight based on location, size, and delivery method. You can also find our return policy in this link that will break down any questions you may have. https://www.genuinereplacementparts.com/policies.php?return_policies Unfortunately, there are times the shipping carrier will increase the price after we submit the information. This varies by carrier, weight, and delivery location. We did ask if he would like to cancel and be refunded, which he did. We will not under any circumstance provide a label for the other order. He was incorrect that it was not escalated to management, the Office Manager responded via email on 02/11
The company advertised a replacement part as in stock and available at a specified price
The company advertised a replacement part as in stock and available at a specified price. The did not honor their own price. The company advertised a replacement part as in stock and available for 2-day FedEx shipment at a specified price of $41.89. I ordered the part, and received confirmation of the order. My invoice # is XXXXXXX confirmation is dated Jul. 11, 2020. On July 15, while awaiting the part's arrival via "2-day shipment," I received a notice that my order had been canceled by the company "due to an inventory discrepancy." The email stated that a "refund has been processed and may take your bank 3-5 days to issue." Further, the email stated that "the part should be available for reorder within 24 hours." I believed that this issue was likely that the part was briefly out of stock or delayed. But I checked the website to check on availability. Imagine my surprise when I saw that it was listed as in stock, and available, at a new price of $137.89. I addressed this issue with customer service, via email, on July 15. I requested that the company honor its original advertised price. I was told that my matter would be sent to the "escalation team" and was given a phone number to follow up. When I phoned, my call was answered on what appeared to be a general customer service line. I advised that I was seeking the escalation team, and provided my original invoice number as requested (not the assigned case number). I was placed on hold, then the same person came back and advised that no further action would be taken. I again requested that as a matter of good customer service and transparency that the company honor their original purchase terms - as is routinely done when a pricing error has occurred. (Most establishments honor the price for transactions in process, then correct the error for future customers). The customer service confirmed that "a mistake" had occurred in their pricing (not with their inventory), but refused to honor the original price or to even provide a discount on purchase at the new price based upon delay and inconvenience. I am now starting over 5 days later, searching for a replacement part. This delay has caused significant inconvenience.

Thank you for expressing your concern. We do not like when our customers' orders must be canceled, and we are sorry it happened to you. Like many inventory systems, ours is not flawless. We are constantly updating part quantities and prices which are bound to one another and fluctuate often. Per our webpage's pricing disclaimer: All prices on this web site are subject to change without notice. Whilst we make every effort to provide you the most accurate, up-to-date information, occasionally, one or more items on our web site may be mis-priced. In the event a product is listed at an incorrect price due to typographical, photographic, or technical error or error in pricing information received from our suppliers, GenuineReplacementParts shall have the right to refuse or cancel any orders placed for product listed at the incorrect price. If an item's correct price is lower than our stated price, we will charge the lower amount and ship you the item. If an item's correct price is higher than our stated price, we will cancel your order and notify you of the price error and order cancellation. You will, of course, have an opportunity to purchase the item at the correct price, if you so wish.

Company is not giving refund in a timely manner
Company is not giving refund in a timely manner. On August 19, I placed an order for several parts. On August 25, my order was tracked as "out for delivery" at 9:07am. At 9:35am the package tracking stated, "Returned to Sender". Some time after 10am when I realized there was an issue I called UPS and asked them what is happening to my package. UPS stated, that I refused the package. I immediately corrected them telling them that no UPS driver came to my door and that I have camera's to prove this case. Then the UPS representative corrected their statement and said, that in the notes it shows that the package was damaged and unable to deliver and UPS made the call to return it. I contacted the GRP and explained the situation and ask them to cancel my order, due to another issue I was having with an other parts supplier, but that I needed to replace an order for 1 part. After several phone calls and several hours of emailing with both GRP and UPS, GRP is still holding my refund even though I never touched the package claiming they need to wait until it gets back to their warehouse. GRP is also claiming that I refused the package even though I did not and after speaking to UPS, UPS advised that if GRP is only looking at their online portal they will see that is says refused only because their is not another option to pick but a phone call to UPS from GPR would clear up the misunderstanding. GRP is refusing to make that call to UPS and ultimately forcing me to wait until the package is returned to their warehouse and inspected? As of today, the expected date by UPS to arrive at GRP warehouse is Sept 2, 2020 and this does not even calculate the expected time frame for which I can actually get the refund. In the meantime I can not reorder parts or get my stove fixed so that I can cook for my family because these funds are in limbo. This is not acceptable given that I never touched their package or even laid eyes on it. And according to UPS a simple phone call to UPS would clear up the situation. But it seems GRP does not like using the phone as I have not been able to contact anyone through their phone system nor have they even called me back. I am very unhappy and will not use them again.

Thank you for writing. It was a pleasure speaking with you this morning, even though our phone conversation was cut short. I believe there was a connection issue, and the call dropped. Issues like yours are difficult for us to manage as items purchased from our website are made pursuant to a shipment contract. This means that the risk of loss and title for such items pass to you upon our delivery to the carrier, and that responsibility of the item is turned back over to us once or if the shipment is returned to GRP's possession.
This does not mean that we dismiss ourselves from the process entirely; however, more information must be collected before we are able to act. Most of this is dependent on the documentation and status updates from your order's tracking page, which is at the oversight of UPS. This was especially true in your situation where UPS reported your shipment as refused instead of damaged.
As discussed, we have been monitoring your issue closely. Since this morning at 10:24 AM, the UPS tracking number 1Z1234567890123456 reflected a "Damaged Reported" status. Before this, as you are aware, the package tracking reflected a refusal since August 25, with the comment: "The receiver refused the delivery. The package will be returned to the sender." Before acting, whether it be on your behalf or not, GRP is required for the shipment to either arrive as a return shipment or reflect a damaged status as we did not have possession of the item. To us, the parcel was en route to our Columbus warehouse with an estimated return date of September 2.
Though you mention that UPS verbally told you what the status of the package was, this was not officially documented until this morning. At 10:24 AM today, UPS noted, "A damage has been reported and we will notify the sender." After consulting with our warehouse manager, we have still not heard from UPS about your order at all; nevertheless, we believe that the UPS tracking webpage provides enough information and closure at this time in relation to the damage claim, and we will issue you a full refund today. Please note it may take your bank 3-5 business days to process this transaction.
We regret that your items were damaged in the shipping process, but we also cannot be held liable for UPS' shortcomings, especially if the status of a package was noted incorrectly. More on our shipping policy can be found here: https://www.genuinereplacementparts.com/policies.php?shipping_policies
I returned an uninstalled part to GRP following strict RULES to protect return using priority 3-day
I returned an uninstalled part to GRP following strict RULES to protect return using priority 3-day. No response for 3 wks. Returned an Unused Transformer to Genuine Replacement Parts following strict guidelines including double boxing original box in bubble wrap and a 2nd box to protect the return. I sent priority mail and heard nothing back for 3 weeks from any GRP rep. So after several attempts for 3 weeks to get a response a guy name *** got back to me. He told me the people in the warehouse were disorganized. Finally, on July 1, *** contacted me and I quote, "Please allow up to 30 business days from the time item is received and inspected to process the return. As we are experiencing delays" Finally, they refused a credit of $230 plus $50 shipping because they said it had some scratches on terminal. The transformer sent was never installed so I'm not sure how scratches appeared. They sent pictures and no scratches showed up on photos. GRP photos of the returned transformer they took. Email excerpt from GRP: Frustrated with the poor customer service I asked them to return the unused transformer I sent to them. Picture of transformer I sent back below. Instead the transformer they returned was severely damaged and not the new unused item I sent to GRP. The returned transformer metal case for mounting was bent, gorged with scratches and looked liked someone from GRP pulled it from the trash pile and mail it to me. See pictures below of what I received. hoping I'd be an idiot not to recognize it from the transformer I actually sent. My opinion is the GRP warehouse and company used fraudulent practices in working through my request for credit on the unused transformer I returned for credit. That is why I spent $50 shipping because I was confident my refund would be approved. I honestly expected a fair resolution but instead was treated unprofessionally by the customer support. When they charged me $22 shipping on the return of a transformer that was not the one I sent priority mail with care with another transformer that's trashed and unusable even if it was needed in the future. Your help is appreciated. *** Attached: Photo 1 - my pic of item I returned Photo 2 - GRP photo of item they received indicated scratch on terminal Photos 3-5- pics of item returned to me with extensive damage.

As discussed, I have issued you a refund today in the amount of $206.02. Like I mentioned, we have never seen something like this happen, and we hope to discuss this with the persons who handled and packed the item. Thank you for confirming that this was an agreeable solution.
Sent replacement part that was not what was ordered
Sent replacement part that was not what was ordered. Being charged to return and not refunded shipping plus being charged restock fee. I ordered a Deli Crisper Drawer for a GE side by side refrigerator from Genuine Replacement Parts. What I received was a Snack Pan which is much smaller than the Deli Crisper Drawer. There was no packing information in the box. Just the drawer and bubble wrap and loosely taped. I emailed them 3/30 to tell them this is the wrong drawer. I was told to send pictures and part number from the outside of the box or the packing information in the box (which I did not receive). I immediately sent them all the information. They wrote back twice asking again for the part number. which I had already sent and resent. They wrote back a day later saying the part I ordered is no longer being stocked and they sent this in place of it. I told them I do not want this part as it does not fit the space and send me a shipping label to return. They responded with the fact I have to pay for shipping AND insure it, track it and I am to inform them when they have received it! They will not pay refund original shipping fees or shipping fees to return it. Also per the terms and conditions of returns, they can charge up to a 25% restocking fee and they will determine at the time it is received of my final refund. I wrote to *** the person approving my ability to return the item, about those issues. Here is her response: Mrs., I have looked further into this for you and it also looks like you did not order by a model number. You ordered by a part number. I have determined that the part you ordered is also not compatible for your model number. I have attached that verification for you to this email for your reference. This is why we will not be able to provide you a label to send this back. We also do have a call center. You can reach us in office between 8am-4:45pm central time. In addition, the restock fee is typically not that high. In this case, the restock fee would be $5 and the original shipping charges are non refundable. Respectfully, - *** When I ordered the product, it asked for a model number for the refrigerator and it generated a part number and a picture of the drawer. I attached a screenshot she sent me as well as the original confirmation order and all the email correspondences (I could only attach 3 emails as there was only 5 attachment buttons but I can send the remaining at your request). I'm not sure where this screen shot is from, but I do not remember seeing the red notation that it is not compatible. If I had, I would not have ordered it! They should have contacted me and told me the Snack Pan would be sent in lieu of the Deli Crisper Drawer due to it no longer being in stock so I could make the decision if I wanted the alternate product which I would not have. They sent me a confirmation for the product I ordered. If this was no longer in stock, then why would I get a confirmation order for the correct product?

Contact Name and Title: Confidential, CSM Contact Phone: Confidential Contact Email: Confidential@genparts.net Thank you for writing. On a certain date at 17:25:54 PM, you ordered one "GE Part# WR32Xxxxx DeliFresh Crisper Drawer (OEM) Top." GRP likes to think that we make it easy for customers to order the correct OEM replacement parts for their specific appliances when they search for parts they need by model number; however, it is important to note that you ordered by part number. On 2021-03-30 at 11:06:04 AM, you wrote: "I received the following order but I did not receive the DeliFresh Crisper drawer. I received the Snack Pan size. I need the deeper drawer." Following company protocol, we requested photographs of the incorrect part you received, the part number (usually located on the box or packaging), and the sticker label with your appliance's model and serial number. You sent us the photographs we requested on 2021-03-30 at 11:16:10 AM and 2021-03-30 at 12:46:12 PM. After researching what you received, we were able to determine that you were sent a substitution part. The part you received, WR32Xxxxx, replaces the old part that you ordered, WR32Xxxxx. GE no longer produces the original part number and has updated the part to work with more models; nevertheless, we also checked the compatibility with your model and found that the part is not compatible. In fact, our site does not recognize your appliance, the GSH22JSDBSS, as a valid model number (See Screenshot 1).
After advising that you had ordered incorrectly, you wrote back on 2021-03-31 at 10:06:02 AM: "This is a much smaller drawer than the one I ordered. The snack pan is much smaller than the deli drawer therefore it is not an appropriate substitution. You should have contacted me prior to sending it to me to inform me you did not carry the appropriate ordered part. Please send me a return label immediately as I will be returning it. I'm not spending that kind of money for a substitution that is inadequate. Will that be emailed to me as I need to get this sent back ASAP and get my refund." We can see that here you were very confused because you may have not read that the part you received, although it is a substitution, is incompatible with your model. After doing my own research and examining diagrams, your GSH22JSDBSS model has three pans, each identified by GE with different purposes: WR32Xxxxx is the lower snack pan, WR32Xxxxx is the vegetable pan, and WR32Xxxxx is the meat pan. It is vital to note that the part you ordered and its substitution, WR32Xxxxx and WR32Xxxxx, are incompatible with your GSH22JSDBSS.
We sent you return instructions on 2021-03-31 at 10:16:35 AM, and you became very upset that you were not provided with a return label: "You don't provide me with a shipping label? This is ridiculous! You send me a different replacement part without my consent then I have to pay to ship it back? Had I known you no longer carry the part I need, I would have canceled my order as this drawer is not the right drawer. Do I get charged a restocking fee? I will reflect this on my Google review... You sent me a replacement drawer for the one I ordered that doesn't fit the space! Then after reading the terms and conditions you can charge me a restocking fee and you will determine if I get my refund when you approve it when it arrives. What if it's damaged in shipping. As you can see by all the pictures, it's in perfect condition and never used. You should have contacted me when you didn't have the right drawer and let me make the decision as to whether I wanted the alternative part or not which I would have refused. I see now why you don't have a call center. What is the restocking fee? I see it can be up to 25%? This is crazy!"
We responded on 2021-03-31 at 11:06:59 AM: "I have looked further into this for you and it also looks like you did not order by a model number. You ordered by a part number. I have determined that the part you ordered is also not compatible for your model number. I have attached that verification for you to this email for your reference. This is why we will not be able to provide you a label to send this back. We also do have a call center. You can reach us in office between 8am-4:45pm central time. In addition, the restock fee is typically not that high. In this case, the restock fee would be $5 and the original shipping charges are non refundable."
On 2021-03-31 at 11:26:02 AM, you wrote back with a very concerning response: "I don't know what you are looking at but I never received that. I see you have numerous complaints for the same thing with the Complaintsboard.com of which you are not an A+ Complaintsboard.com customer as advertised on your website. It says you are not a Complaintsboard.com accredited company and you have a C+ rating. Far from A+. I will be filing a complaint with them. You are a bogus company that should not be allowed to rip customers off."
In our defense, we are not a bogus company, and you are mistaken. We are honest people who work hard everyday to serve our customers. Though we would very much like to be an A+ company with the Complaintsboard.com, this is a completely false allegation. We also do not rip customers off. We process thousands of orders every weekday, and the majority of customers we serve are highly satisfied. Bear in mind that we also process hundreds of returns on a daily basis your order would not be our 'first rodeo.' Our procedure is standardized for returns as written in our policy: tinyurl.com/grprp2021. It is your decision to follow that policy or not. At your request, our escalations team reviewed your complaint and matter on 2021-04-01 at 08:18:39 AM. Our findings were very similar to what we had already explained to you multiple times: "We do not sell parts for your appliance, the GSH22JSDBSS. You ordered the WR32Xxxxx which was stated to be substituted by the WR32Xxxxx. The WR32Xxxxx and the WR32Xxxxx are virtually identical parts and are compatible with over 1,700 different appliances. But we do not list it as compatible with a single one of the GSH22J- models. I cannot send you the correct part for the GSH22JSDBSS as we do not list parts for that appliance. If you order the incorrect part we do not reimburse shipping fees. Your current estimated refund is $44.84 and you can either keep the unused part or return it using the return instructions. Your order does not qualify for a shipping label. Although subject to change, this should be an accurate refund estimation."
You wrote back on 2021-04-01 at 09:36:07 AM, alleging that you did indeed search for your model number successfully on our site: "Your site asked for my model number of my refrigerator on the website. It showed a picture of the crisper box that I needed along with the number. I do not have a part number for my Crisper box. This is unsatisfactory as far as I'm concerned and I will let complaintsboard.com handle it. I have sent them all my information along with supporting documents and emails."
This is impossible, and we figured that something was not right as you continued to be adamant about the validity of your claim. After reiterating our response to you, you write back on 2021-04-02 at 13:06:03 PM with a revelatory finding that answered a lot of our questions: "Well it's funny you say that because when I navigated your site it asked for the model number of my refrigerator. See screenshot. I put it in, picked the deli fresh crisper drawer, it showed a picture of it and that's the one I bought or thought I was buying. I also got a confirmation for that drawer. At no time did I order a snack pan which I received. It's very obvious from the numerous complaints on complaintsboard.com that this is a common practice with your company. They have signed to me a complaint / claim number and I will let them handle it. By the way why does your website say you are a A+ Complaintsboard.com business when in fact on the Complaintsboard.com you are not an accredited Complaintsboard.com business and you have a C+ rating? Isn't that false advertising? See screenshot."
Screenshot 2 attached. Here, in your picture, it is clear that your research was done on http://genuineapplianceparts.com/, a totally different entity with no affiliation to our company. Although you ordered a part from Genuine Replacement Parts, it seems most reasonable that you deduced incorrect information from http://genuineapplianceparts.com. We know that mistakes happen, but our support team has spent a great deal of time addressing this matter and providing you with evidence that we are not at fault for your mistake. For the record, we are not Genuine Appliance Parts nor are we affiliated with Genuine Appliance Parts. We cannot be responsible for any inconsistent information provided to you by an entirely different entity.
Company shipped part even after my cancelation request; Sent me the wrong part; I had to pay for return shipping Ordered a heating baking
Company shipped part even after my cancelation request; Sent me the wrong part; I had to pay for return shipping Ordered a heating baking element online (don't have the part# but it a Hiddend Heating Element for my Whirpool WFE540H0ES0 electric range oven) (ord# XXXXXXX;) on Christmas Day (XXXX). I called to cancel on the next business day Monday, Dec XX XXXX approx 1010am & spoke with Caitlin. Caitlin said she would send email to warehouse to cancel. I called @ 8am to speak to someone but the recording stated they opened @ 9am CSTthat's 10am on the east coast. However, their emails state their hours of operation are 8am-430pm CST. Later in the day (approx 146pm) I received an email from "Lily" that the shipment had already processed for shipping and could not be stopped/canceled (Incident #XXXXXX Cancel order). On 12/31 I called to inquire about returning the part. No one answered. The voice recording advised to hold and wait for a live rep. Nothing. I called several times after that to the point that the greeting was changed to something along the words of "no one is available now, call back later...and hung up! I sent and email inquire about the return process and on 12/31 I received the following email from Caitlin "Per our return policy, shipping charges are not refundable unless there is a packaging error (wrong or damaged part). We have also charged a restocking fee, we reserve the right to charge a 25% restocking fee, but we usually do not charge the full amount." This part I understand, however, their return policy also indicates "SHIPPING CHARGES We will not refund original shipping fees unless a part was sent in error, damaged, or defective." The keywords here are "SENT IN ERROR." The grandest issue here is, although the order could not be stopped in time, I STILL RECEIVED THE WRONG PART! When the package was delivered, I saw the packing slip and the content was a RANGE SIDE PANELpart#WPWXXXXXXXX. This is NOT what I ordered. Remember, at the beginning I said I ordered a BAKING HEATING ELEMENT. I mentioned this to one of the reps that I was emailing, (Brandon, Ellie, Caitlin) can't remember who exactly and still, I GOT STUCK WITH SHIPPING THE ITEM BACK ($29 via UPS ground). Why would I order a SIDE PANEL ?!?!?! Yes, people make mistakes, however I verified my order before I checked out. The company did authorize my return & provided a RMA#. A few weeks later, Jan 27, 2021, I received an email from GRPs accounting dept stating I was refunded $55.45. Out of the $67.44 I paid for a part I didn't receive, they kept $11.99which most likely is a restocking fee. The bottom line is that I paid for return shipping & lost money on a restocking fee for an incorrect part they shipped to me. Again, I know what I ordered and I made sure the correct part is being ordered before I click on the Checkout button, . I looked today (Jan 28, 2021) on their website and the part I ordered (HIDDEN HEATING ELEMENT) is not showing up. This is no way of treating new customers (any customers) in a way that it's impossible to speak to someone live, and an online system which alters an order and the company ships the incorrect part. That's not right!

Thank you for writing. On December 24th at 14:33:21 PM, you ordered one Whirlpool WFE540H0ES0 Side Panel (Black). On December 27th at 09:10:38 AM, you called our offices and requested to cancel your order. We tendered your cancellation request by sending an email to our warehouse manager with your request to cancel. When we submit a cancellation request to the warehouse, we are unsure if the item had or had not been prepared for shipment. Once an item has been loaded onto the pallet we cannot stop the shipment.
According to the FedEx tracking information divulged to our customer service team on December 29th at 12:05:06 PM, we wrote you back and explained that the order could not be canceled: "We have just heard back from our warehouse and your order was not able to be cancelled. The order was processed for shipping, and once this happens, the order cannot be stopped. Once the order arrives you may send it back for a refund. Please do not refuse the package as this will delay the refund process."
We could not confirm order cancellation when you called requesting cancellation on December 27th; you asked for a shipping label, and we denied that request. How can we be faulted for shipping your item in such a timely manner that it arrives to you on or before the estimated arrival date?
On December 28th at 10:03:36 AM, we wrote to you explaining that no cancellation could be guaranteed and that by the time you called, the order was processed for shipping: "This order was placed on December 25th, a cancellation request was not made until December 28th. This item was already processed for shipping by this point, making the cancellation request unsuccessful."
According to FedEx tracking no. [protected], your order was picked up at our Braselton, Georgia warehouse by FedEx on Monday, December 28 at 12:00 AM: https://www.fedex.com/fedextrack/?trknbr=123456789012
You shipped the item back to us per our instructions on January 4, and we refunded you $55.45 (Transaction ID: [protected]) on January 5th at 15:09:31 PM.
I can assure you that our company is most certainly not a scam as you allege in your complaint, nor do we consider restocking fees as a significant source of revenue. The restocking fee exists for a purpose: quality control. Warehouse personnel that inspect returned OEM parts are qualified professionals, who have to make a very thorough inspection of every returned product to make sure these items are new and unused. These individuals may process hundreds of returns on a daily basis, and they completely inspect the integrity of a part before deeming items new and unused. They, in many ways, are gatekeepers of their warehouses and protect our future customers from receiving used, broken, bad, damaged, or switched-out parts.
We reserve the right to charge a 25% restocking fee on any return, but usually, we charge the customer $5 for a return total of $100 or less. We are honest people; we tried to cancel your order as soon as we ended the phone call with you on December 28, but your part had already been palletized and shipped.
Furthermore, on your invoice we see that you ordered a Whirlpool WFE540H0ES0 Side Panel (Black). See your invoice and photo of the parcel attached. We do not alter orders. We are happy to correct our mistake if there was one; however, we see that you received what you ordered. We cannot be held liable if you ordered the incorrect part.
Suspicious business practices involving incompetent employees who have no interest to assist on a sale gone horribly bad
Suspicious business practices involving incompetent employees who have no interest to assist on a sale gone horribly bad. A refund chance seems ZERO. Genuine Replacement Parts located at *** W. *** #241 Mary Esther, FL XXXXX has no interest in assisting with a sale that went horribly bad because of their incompetent employees and the prospect of receiving a full refund seems highly unlikely. To begin, I live in North Carolina and found genuinereplacementparts.com after doing a Google search. On Tuesday March 3rd at 12:12 pm I called XXX-XXX-XXXX to obtain more information about a product on the GRP web-site. I explained to ***, the service rep who answered the call, that I wanted to purchase a Jenn Air burner cartridge and the product information on their web-site was vague and that I wanted more clarification. I gave *** the serial number of what appeared on their web-site to be a *** Air burner cartridge. 4 minutes later after concluding the phone call with *** and at 12:24 pm I placed an order for $188.82 on the GRP web-site and used PayPal as a form of payment. After purchasing the item, I then returned back to the product page, and with closer examination determined that it may not be my desired item. 18 minutes after placing the order, I called GRP and told *** I wanted to cancel the order. She refused my request. Then, the situation became much worse. I opened the email payment receipt and saw that the address GRP inserted into the shipping address was *** Creek Pkwy, Winston-Salem NC XXXXX. I'm saying they inserted it because this address has never been associated with me. I'm self employed and work from home. I don't work at *** Creek Pkwy. This address is not listed in my Chrome browser auto fill addresses (see attached image) and the address is not listed in my PayPal account. (see attached image). The insertion of the bogus address occurred on what I call server side or on their server, their programming code and their data base. It definitely did not occur on my end. The address that GRP inserted belongs to Hanes Mall which has 200 stores. I called Hanes mall today to see if the package could be flagged for my me to pick-up. According to ***, who works in the mall office, "Each store has a suite number and the mall office has a suite number too". *** further said "With such a vague address, and no suite number, it will be impossible to flag the package for me to pick-up". So now my situation is that I will loose my $188.82 because GRP created a circumstance where the package could be easily lost. GRP has offered no assistance. *** could have circumvented this whole catastrophe if she had told me during the 6 minute phone conversation that the item she and I were seeing WAS NOT a cartridge burner, but she did not. It would have been an easy thing to cancel the order, but they refused. Their payment receipt sent to me has no shipping or tracking information. Their payment receipt also indicates that then intend to charge me a restocking Fee!?! The address GRP chose to mail the package to will cause the package to be easily lost. Their lack of support or customer service gives the impression that they have no intention of refunding my entire payment even if the package is found intact. I feel that the whole situation was a set-up from beginning to end and that I've been part of a scam. I wish that I had checked the reviews on this company before purchasing. They have an extremely bad reputation on the internet (1.5 stars out of 5 - see attached Google reviews). They seem to be people who don't care what happens to a customer and they will probably give you the same treatment.
The complaint has been investigated and resolved to the customer’s satisfaction.
Customer clearly ordered a black cooktop (picture attached), I can not speak for why the customer would order something that is clearly not what they wanted. It is the responsibility of the customer to verify the part before they order. I have attached a screenshot of the part as listed on our site to show it clearly says cooktop and not cartridge. I can ensure that we do not alter any addresses for orders unless we are asked to by the customer. The address the part was sent to was the one entered by the customer or was attached to their PayPal. It is normal for our warehouse to pick a part from the shelf and palletize for shipment minutes after an order comes through. We process thousands of orders a day and have to put orders on the pallets quickly. Once an order is put on the pallet it can not be stopped. A request for cancellation was made as soon as the customer called, but it could not be stopped (picture attached). We will not be able to offer a refund unless the part is returned to the proper warehouse.
Incorrectly supplied product not matching ordered part or substitution part number
Incorrectly supplied product not matching ordered part or substitution part number. I wish I would have gone to the Complaintsboard.com before buying here. Every word of the complaint that the Complaintsboard.com sent in its letter to the business is still accurate 2 years later. This complaint refers to order #XXXXXXX for whirlpool part number wXXXXXXXX. It is a water tube that supplies water to the ice maker on a refrigerator. I had done some research online prior to ordering this part and found that whirlpool started making a substitute part number #WPW10238092 (which eliminated the elbow that blew apart on my fridge, must have been a common problem). I found that this business was supplying part number wXXXXXXXX for around $10 cheaper than what I could find part WPWXXXXXXXX. So I figured for that price difference I'd take either the old part as advertised (wXXXXXXXX) or the substitute part WPWXXXXXXXX. The website seemed legit, it had 3 ways to contact customer service in event of a problem and had quick shipping. Only then did the fun begin. I was sitting in my living room when I hear a CLUNK and a doorbell ring. I go out to my porch and find a monstrosity of a device with a crank. Note that this part was not shipped in a box, it was just poorly wrapped in bubble wrap with the shipping label stapled in cardboard hanging around the middle. This parts shipping label said it was the substitute part, part WPWXXXXXXXX, but it was clearly NOT a water tube. I carefully peeled away part of the bubble wrap that looked like it had a part number on it and found it was labeled as "southern motion" and part number "SMXXXXXXXXXXXX". A quick google search found that southern motion is a furniture manufacturer, which is a far cry from a refrigerator. So I think "OK mistakes happen, I'll just go on the convenient live chat option and get this sorted out". So I click on the live chat button at about 12:00 noon CST and it says "live chat offline, we are normally here 9am -4pm CST". Last time I checked 12 noon is between 9 and 4. I tried to access the live chat feature many times over the course of this event and never had success reaching anyone live. So I thought "I'll just call them". 45 minutes later on hold listening to the voice say "you can reach us by email at ***@genparts.net", I hung up and emailed them. Little did I know that despite the voice saying this email address, it was not the correct email address. The correct email address is ***@genuinereplacementparts.com. I don't think I would have figured this out if they hadn't sent an email telling me they shipped the part, so I guess kudos for that? They asked for pictures of the part I received and I sent them pictures clearly showing that even though their shipping label says they sent part number WPWXXXXXXXX that what was actually in the bubble wrap was the southern motion furniture part. At first, it seemed like the process was working (even though their operations apparently only call for emails to be responded to once a day between 11pm and midnight, which really made for a drawn out discussion), Eric asked if I would like a refund or replacement. Still thinking "accidents happen", I said go ahead and send a replacement. Then I get an email saying "We have determined upon discussion with the manufacturer that you were shipped a substitute part". No, I would have been fine had it been the correct substitute part but the issue was it wasn't. I don't know on what planet a part for a piece of furniture serves as a water tube for a fridge. After this I was frustrated and bought the part from a different supplier and emailed them a picture showing them they sent the wrong part. They said they are following up with their warehouse and I gave them a deadline of today before filing the complaint. It has been nearly a week, if it takes that long to communicate with their warehouse, they have serious issues. I want a refund ASAP. No business should be allowed to operate this way.

Thank you for writing. Per our return policy: "We will only issue refunds for the price of the returned product(s) minus the restocking fee. We do not refund for the original shipping cost." We only refund the shipping cost if GRP sent you the incorrect item. Moreover, GRP did not charge you a restocking fee as your part cost was $19.89. Typically, we do not accept returns for items priced under $30.00.
Initially, on July 31, at 23:02, you wrote: "We don't need the part" in relation to returning your order. We do not refund shipping on orders where customers receive exactly what they ordered. Shipping costs money; GRP prices shipping competitively for customers, but we do not find it justified that we ought to bear the cost of our customers' indecision.

Thank you for writing. We discussed your case internally with other team leads and managers at length, and we unanimously came to the final decision that no additional action can be taken for you as these parts cannot be returned. We have not heard of another customer having a problem like this, and we do not feel responsible for the inconsistent communication. We believe that something may have gone wrong with your email domain's firewall settings.
There was a lapse in communication from one specific date at 07:46:11 AM to another specific date at 16:46:05 PM: more than eight months. We believe that you very well could have communicated with our live chat representatives or telephone support team, but did not. We regret that you were not able to verify that the parts were new in the allotted amount of time; however, we cannot break policy and process a return for parts ordered on a certain date.
Asked what part I need for the GE Washer/Dryer Combo thought their online chat on their website
Asked what part I need for the GE Washer/Dryer Combo thought their online chat on their website. Guy gives me the part, I order it, it's not correct. On November 23rd I was trying to find a part for the GE Stand-up Washer Dryer Combo that I have and I am speaking to a guy on their online chat. The guy gives me the part number for what he thinks I need. The item is a replacement tub for the washer part of the unit. I order it through them online. The tub gets here and it's the wrong tub. They charged me 36$ to ship this tub and so I call them an let them know that it's the wrong tub and that I would like to return it. They said, "you ordered the wrong tub'. I told them that I ordered the tub by the number their chat window assistant gave me. They tell me, "We do not pay for the shipping on the return if you ordered the wrong part". I tell them it's their guy who gave me the wrong information. They didn't care at all and said they are not paying for the return label to send it back. Not only that, they tell, "If you return the item still it needs to be sent to *** Industrial Dr, Suite F *** GA XXXXX". I said, "But that's not where I bought it from why do I have to send back to an address that is further away than the return label on the package". (The item was sent from *** Rd Suite *** FL 3331) They tell me, "that's just our return policy". I said, "Let me get this straight. You not only had me pay shipping from *** FL on this incorrect item, but now you want me to send it back to *** GA with my own money because your chat window guy gave me the wrong part number? They said, "We do not pay for return shipping if you made a part number error". I repeated, "your guy gave me the number and HE was incorrect". They said, "Sir, we have reviewed the note on this purchase and we can't find anywhere where he gave you the wrong part number. You gave him a model number and he told you the part number for that unit and it is correct". I said, "Well then way doesn't this part fit my model if it's correct. It does not fit in the Washer like it's supposed to. Not only that but I am not even wanting to return it, I would like to EXCHANGE it. It turns out that I need the transmission part on the bottom as well". They say, "Ok let me look up that part for you". I give them the model number again and after about 5 min, the they come back on the line and say, "I am sorry sir, but we don't make that part". I said, "so you make the tub, and you make all the parts, for the transmission, but you don't make the tub with the transmission?" They said, "We do make all the parts, but you'll have to buy them all separately". I said, "well do they come separately or together because I have seen other online sites that sell the entire unit as one". They say, "Well we don't do that here, Sir". I said, "Ok, so you want me to pay for shipping an item back to you at a different address than it came from, after your chat guy gave me the wrong part number, and you also won't exchange it for what I need?" They said, "We don't pay for the return shipping label when you order the wrong part number". I said, "I ordered what your chat guy told me to order". They said, "I am sorry, Sir. That is our policy". So, I bite the bullet and I take their return instructions to the post office because they said that it MUST have a tracking number and a copy of the purchase invoice MUST be attached to the box, in the original box. Well thank god I didn't destroy the box. So, I box it up and take it to the poste office where I have no idea what it might cost to ship it back to that other address. I get to the front of the line after an hour and they say, "This box is too big to send via Priority Mail". I said, well how do I need to send it. They say, you'll have to send it *** or *** So I call Genuine Replacement Parts back and tell them the package they sent me was too large to send back via Priority Mail. They did not care in the slightest. As a matter of fact they top it all off, by telling me I have till the 25th to get it to them or they will not issue a refund at all.

Thank you for writing. On a certain date at 15:17:14 PM, you purchased one GE GTUP240EM6WW Outer Tub (24 inch). Your order was processed and delivered by our delivery service on Wednesday, November 25, at 3:54 PM. Nearly a month later, on a subsequent date at 09:06:07 AM, you wrote us requesting assistance with a return: "Order was not what I needed. I need assistance with a new order and returning this order." On that same date at 11:08:54 AM, we responded: "We do not offer an exchange program at this time, so we must process a return for the incorrect item, and a new order must be placed for the correct item. I can help start a return for you. First, I need you to verify the part is in NEW/UNUSED condition before a return can be processed. Would you like assistance in finding the correct part? If so, please provide the model number of your appliance."
At 11:26:15 AM that day, you let us know that you required "the entire transmission, interior tub, and exterior tub for the 24 inch Model: GTUP240EM6EWW. That seems to be sold many places but I don't know how to locate it on your site. At first it appeared that I would be able to remove the old exterior tub and just replace it, but there is more to the repair than that unfortunately."
In your Complaintsboard.com complaint, you allege that you coordinated your purchase with a male representative using our online chat feature. We have no transcripts documenting that you discussed your purchase with any representatives on November 23. Typically, when we receive correspondence from a customer alleging that an incorrect part was sent, we request pictures of the incorrect part the customer received, the part number (usually located on the box, or the packaging), and the sticker label with the appliance's model and serial number. This information was initially not requested as the issue changed from becoming a matter of your misunderstanding about what the outer tub included and excluded to becoming an issue about the incorrect part being sent.
I wrote to you on January 27 after having read your complaint in hopes of gaining some clarity. I requested the photos to which you have refused to send in your response on January 31: "Wait, now you guys expect me to jump through hoops getting you pictures and wasting more of my time? Wasn't standing in line for an hour at the USPS only to find out that I can't even send you the package, to a different address than was shipped to me from, a further address which is more expensive, isn't that enough time. Now you want pictures? This is simple. The part wasn't what I needed. You guys would not exchange or take it as a return. You wouldn't pay for any sort of shipping and even when I tried to bite the bullet and ship it back to you, I stood in line for an hour to find out it's not even a package that can be shipped by USPS. Then to top that off I get an email from you guys, after speaking with you on a Friday, that I have to have it to you by Monday due to some 60 day rule you have or no refund will be issued."
Although we regret that you may have been told by an unwilling post officer that the size of your parcel was too large for USPS to ship, nothing stopped you from choosing an alternative like FedEx or UPS. On January 22, with almost sixty days having elapsed, you called our offices regarding the return of your order. I listened to the call between you and two of our representatives. Your argument was now that we advised you to order the incorrect part by another model number, GTUP240EM6WW. In the conversation, you confirmed that your appliance's model number is actually GTUP270EMWW, which was new information to us. Our representatives are trained very well to only recommend parts based on exact compatibility for distinct model numbers: we do not believe our representatives would have made such a careless mistake. Besides, this information does not corroborate with your email from December 14 at 11:26:15 AM where you write: "what I need is the entire transmission, interior tub, and exterior tub for the 24 inch Model: GTUP240EM6EWW. That seems to be sold many places but I don't know how to locate it on your site."
See picture. Here is where your story fails and you begin to waste our time. We asked you for pictures over the phone. You blatantly refused to send pictures over the phone, just as you refused to send me photos on January 31 when I attempted to make sense of your matter. You told our representatives to look at your invoice to see the part you received. You received what we believe to be exactly what you ordered as it is incompatible. You alleged that you chatted with an online representative, and they advised you to purchase the part you received before making your purchase. We reviewed our chat records, found no data for any live chats which occurred between you and any of our live chat representatives on or before your order date. We believe that you have fabricated this story in desperation and a last ditch effort to return your part and receive a refund. We have no reason to lie. We truly do care about our customers, and we would happily provide them with the care and support they need in order to identify or return a part.
You did contact our office initially for return instructions three weeks after receiving the part, for which we sent you clear instructions on how to return the outer tub you received on a certain date at 13:31:19 PM. Over a month later, at the eleventh hour, you choose to act on those instructions on January 22 with one day left to complete your return. Perhaps this is why you became so desperate, or perhaps it is because you felt that deceiving us would be easier. USPS would indeed have accepted your parcel as an oversized delivery. Per USPS.com, your package would have been classified as USPS Oversized Retail Ground: "Length plus girth combined is more than 108 but not more than 130 inches." From the FedEx tracking information we have for your order, we know that your parcel was indeed 27 x 22 x 22 inches and 6.5 pounds: https://www.fedex.com/fedextrack/?trknbr=Confidential Your package would have most certainly been accepted at USPS for return. It is more believable to us that you did not want to pay the estimated $101.70 in postage. See pictures attached. This is notwithstanding that GRP does not limit you to using USPS as a carrier. You could have most certainly used FedEx or UPS.
We believe we are a fair company and the majority of our return policies match those of the manufacturers themselves. Our policy states clearly that "you have 60 calendar days to return an item from the date received by the customer. All items returned must be in new and unused condition. If a part is installed, we cannot offer a refund. Any order that exceeds the 60-day warranty return timeline will be denied a refund." Not only are we denying you a shipping label, we are also denying your return. GRP cannot be responsible for your negligence and laxity.

I ordered a simple dryer belt and paid the higher cost they charge here because the order process indicated it would arrive the next day. My other option was to pay significantly less but wait an additional four days for the part to arrive. Once GRP processes my order they tell me it's delayed for four days and won't let me cancel the order because "the order was processed for shipping, once this happens, the order can not be stopped". Not that the order was shipped, it was "processed". I gave them an extra star because they were quick to get back to me when they told me too bad, sell it on ebay.
I ordered a part from this company without giving them the serial number off the microwave. I gave them the information off the front of the microwave with the brand and model. They sent the part and took my payment. When I got the part it did not fit and I asked for a refund... Sent them all of the information except the serial number and they still refuse to let me return the part for refund.
I was having a problem with my WhirlPool Fridge. I needed to replace a circuit board. I pulled the part number on the circuit board and put it into a Google Search. That search brought up Genuine Replacement Parts. It gave me the board and the picture they display is a direct match. I assumed since my Google search brought me to this company with a picture of the product I was looking for it is the correct product. So I went ahead and ordered the part. I installed the part and it fixed my one problem but created a problem that my ice maker would no longer work properly. I found that the fan was not working with the replacement circuit board. I put the old one back in and the fan started to operate again. It was within the 30 days to return so I started that process and they informed me that I ordered the incorrect part. After multiple emails back and forth and this company taking no responsibility for directing me to purchase an incorrect part I will use all tool necessary to get my refund on the incorrect part they sold me.
My refrigerator snack drawer was cracked. I looked online and found Genuine Replacement Parts as someone who had my part. I entered by refrigerator serial/model number. I ordered and paid for a replacement part based on their website. I was mailed the part. When I emptied out my old refrigerator snack drawer and compared it with the new one from Genuine replacement parts it was not the same and would not fit. I emailed them to let them know I was mailed the wrong part. They responded with email after email. I finally asked them to replace and let me send the unused new part back. They promised to send return instructions which they never did. I recently contacted them and they said that I could not return the part as it was outside their return policy. The delay I feel is caused by their not sending me return instructions. I would like to return the part and get credited for the cost.
