RockAuto poor shipping, return policies, and no real company contact

I ordered parts 2nd day, after the parts were 2 days late, I contacted Rock Auto. That's when I was told that they wouldn't do anything for at least 15 days. I needed the parts, that's why I ordered them 2nd day. I had to purchase parts from another firm and repaired the vehicle. I tried to cancel the order, and they wouldn't let me. I contacted my credit card company, explained the issue, and wanted Rock Auto to deal with me so that I could end this issue. I stopped payment for the order. I then contacted rock auto to explain that I would like to pay for the parts that arrived on time which came from a different location. They refused to work with me. Because they did not challenge the stop payment it went through. The late package arrived 22 days late, the postmark shows that it was shipped 2 days before from Florida. I contacted Rock Auto again to ask for a return postage label to return the now unneeded parts. They refused to work with me unless I dropped all complaints, so that's that.

RockAuto Warranty replacement

I purchased a catalytic converter with a 5 year warranty. 7 months later it failed. The site has no way to contact the company whatsoever. When trying to redeem the warranty they require another one be bought before they will process a return. The reason i purchased this part in the first place was to replace the catalytic converter that was stolen. Now purchasing a part from a so called legitimate dealer of the part they want to rob me as well. I dont have another 600 to give them while they consider honoring my warranty. Meanwhile my car sits as i cannot drive it without a cat. I tracked down the actual warehouse that my part came from and explained my problem. Got abosultely no response. I feel like ive been hustled and nothing i can do about it. Added to the part being stolen from my vehicle only to be sold a defective one and then be required to buy a 3rd one.

Desired outcome: replacement or refund

RockAuto Wrong part listed on website

I have a return going on and it is not right that I have to split the return shipping with “rockauto”. The part I ordered completely is wrong on your website for the specified vehicle. So this is a rockauto problem, not the customers. Rockauto has the part listed for the wrong vehicle and if this is what the part manufacturer says it fits then the blame goes to them. I should be getting a full refund, I order a lot of parts from rockauto and this area is where rockauto is weak in. It’s limited what I can select for the return and if it’s not specified then I have to select something close to the problem. I do not appreciate being charged for a completely wrong part and then split the return shipping for rockauto a problem. The order number is: [protected]. I would appreciate it if this matter can be fixed.

Desired outcome: To be fully refunded for the wrong part listed on rockauto.com

RockAuto next day delivery

payed for expedited shipping only for it to be delayed. rock auto charges you to expedite but doesn't follow threw tells you shipping is not guaranteed only estimate. Called fedex shipping can be refunded but shipper has to call them to have it refunded due to service that was used. kept getting the run around from somewhat of a customer service department threw email very rude. I get that ground shipping only estimate which is does not say that when ordering and still not seeing it but next day is not the same.

Desired outcome: to be refunded my expedited shipping fees

RockAuto Having to pay shipping on return of wrong part they sent me.

I usually have no problem with Rock auto and have ordered a lot from them over the years but this time I ordered brake pads front for a 2016 ford explorer got sent wrong pads will not fit my car completely different and now I have to pay the shipping to return them and they are the ones who made the mistake!They have no costumer service you can talk to so what do you do in a situation like this?I really hate getting ripped off like this and there is no reason for it you made the mistake so why should I take the loss? I added pictures and you can plainly see that the shoes they sent will not work?

Desired outcome: Would like to get my shipping back both that I paid when I ordered it and what I had to pay to return it?

Same here. I ordered 10 oil filters and they sent me the wrong model. I sent them an email and their customer service said that it was my fault because I ordered the wrong part, even though their website said that the filters were a compatible model with the OEM part number. I had to pay for the return shipping. This company sucks. They rob you even you are a long-time customer. Will never buy anything from them again.

RockAuto Refund not sent.

This company refused to send a refund on the whole faulty part I bought from them. They stated via email they won't give my money back because I chose Core Return and not Part Return which is clearly not true as shown in the following order confirmation.

For a customer to receive a replacement part the customer must pay in advance the entire price of the part plus half shipping and once they get the faulty part they would refund the money which they didn't do in my case for the reasons I already explained above.

RockAuto 2003 toyota solara oxygen sensor

Good day, This is in reference to order number [protected] That was placed on 04/10/2022 for a 2003 Toyota Solaris Oxygen sensor that did not fit the car. I tried to do a return but because the photo looked like it would work you requested photos and the car is 40 miles away. Now, we have ordered from you MANY times and if you research our e-mail address you will see that we spend a lot of money with your company with very few returns. We are asking for a return because it did not fit the car and we ordered another one from you that did. Now we have never given anyone a review good or back and I really don't want to start with you, but I will, including all social medias and the BBB. Where is the pride and integrity that a company should possess unless this is how you stay in business, by stealing people's money, by putting them in a situation where the parts you provided are not useful or don't fit the car. If this is not resolved in our favor, I will never use you again and I will steer everyone I know away from your thieving company. Sincerely Delroy and Darcy Ballentine.

Desired outcome: Return the product for a full refund

RockAuto My last order204670227 is wrong, not what I ordered

I ordered a carter fuel pump worth 180 dollars total, rock auto sent me a autobest worth only 60. dollars, it seem's like everytime I order from rock auto they send me the wrong part, and if you don't have a printer you cannot send these part's back, unless you pay and send it back yourself, rock auto has no one to talk about these issues. I won't my money back somehow.

Desired outcome: I'd like my money back and I'll never ever order from rockauto again, 180.00 dollars back please

RockAuto Moog K14 idler arm for 65 Chevy C10

Order number [protected] placed 12/29/2021. Attempted install per instructions a week ago and discovered a mismatch in bolt holes between idler arm and spacer plate. Requested a warranty replacement which was received today and is exactly like the first one with the same manufacturing mismatch in parts. I contacted Moog directly and they verified the fitment and part numbers was well as agreed there was a mismatch based on our review. Rock Auto offer no mechanism for refunding my money based on their inability to provide a properly manufactured and packaged part as advertised by them. They also do not provide customer service contact of any kind for resolution of this issue. So false advertising, refusal to address vendor issues and withholding a refund when the customer has no other recourse. Pretty crappy setup. I want y money back and they can have there junk parts.

Desired outcome: Return with refund including return shipping of original part and warranty replacement part

RockAuto Poor listing on website led to wrong part. Inv.[protected]

I have a 2006 Chevy 1500 Silverado. I ordered new brake rotors front and rear. Rockauto has the part number Raybestos 580279R listed. The description does not give any details on specifics based upon vehicle description. The part does not fit my truck. In researching why it does not fit I discovered from looking at other suppliers sites that there is a difference in parts if my truck has rear disk or drum brakes. The fact that I ordered rear disk brake parts on this same order should have initiated a part confirmation that there was a discrepancy. The other online parts sites (carparts.com) clearly identify this at the beginning of the part search. Nowhere on Rock auto is this noted. I am especially disappointed in the fact that Rockauto has no customer service contact for any reason and make it incredibly difficult to refute a situation. I received the wrong part because rock auto website listing is poorly done, this is obvious when I looked at other online suppliers.

Desired outcome: Please provide a return authorization not at my expense.

RockAuto Charging my card for cancelled order

Dear Sirs,

I purchased some spare parts online from rockauto.com, however they duplicated my order & when I canceled the order they canceled one & proceed with the payment for the duplicated one (which I don't know anything about it).

Now they refused to refund my money back (663.10$) & they don't reply to my emails any more & they blocked me on the social media pages as well!

I consider this a fraud operation.

All supporting documents are avail upon request.

RockAuto Trico 2412B wiper

I purchase 4 B2412b for my 2010, and 2012 Mercedes C350 and your side said this will fit. And I go ahead and order them along with 10 oil filters.

I receive it yesterday and I found out the wiper have a gay in between the windshields and the blade on the driver side. I fill in the refund form but looks like I have to paid the shipping cost. That's no good. Since the total of the wiper

cost is around $ 36.00 and cost me over $ 23.00 or even more to ship back.

So what is the point getting them from Rockauto if something happen like this.

RockAuto No Refund -

In August 2021 we purchased an intake manifold from Rock Auto for a 2008 Ford F150. Upon installation it was discovered there was a defective part of the manifold which caused a part of the manifold that was built onto it to blow off causing antifreeze to go everywhere.

Rock Auto would not offer a refund and only offered a replacement. We didn't want a replacement after seeing how this manifold was manufactured because we didn't want to risk the same thing happening. Unfortunately, Rock Auto said we could only get a replace of the same poor quality manifold.

Additionally, we ended up paying for 2 manifolds to be installed. Rock Auto also made us pay return shipping on the defective manifold.

Desired outcome: Refund and payment to install second intake manifold.
