I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID [redacted], and have determined that this does not resolve my complaint. For your reference, details of the offer I reviewed appear below. There was never a solution offered. The RockAuto customer service representative (s) lied multiple times and have continued to lie throughout this complaint process. For example, I was told that they had contacted the shipper directly, but this never happened. The shipper confirmed this and gave me a reference number to prove my contention that the RockAuto team is extremely dishonest and highly disrespectful.

We're
sorry this shipment was missing the sensor. Unfortunately, since the
manufacturer can not send the part separately, the options we can
offer are to:Return
the part (using a prepaid return shipping label) for a full refund.
Return
the part (using a prepaid return shipping label) for...
reshipment of
the correct item (including the sensor) at no additional cost to the
customer.
Place
a new order for the same part, swap out the incomplete part for the
complete part, and then return the incomplete part (using a prepaid
return shipping label) for a full refund.
Accept
a partial refund ($10, or the cost of shipping on his order) due to
the inconvenience.
Shipping
the sensor separately is not a reasonable option due to the high cost
of the sensor when sold individually (which is about 2/3 of the cost
of the full assembly purchased); we can not ship this part out for
free. The customer can use the return instructions and prepaid return
shipping label to return the part he has for reshipment of the
correct part. If he prefers an alternative solution, he is welcome to
select a solution from the above listed options in order to resolve
the problem, then contact our customer service department
([redacted]) with
his preferred option.

While they can easily ignore my request by the 'letter' of the warranty, it is certainly not in the spirit of the warranty. Nor is it in the interest of customer service or what I believed Rock Auto stood for. Yes, it was purchased a number of months back, however it was just now attempted to be installed. It was purchased along with over $500 or additional parts to be used in restoration of an MGB. Certainly not unusual to purchase parts you know will be required down the road in a project such as this. If Rock Auto is willing to lose a customer over a $12 item when this customer has spent well over $2000 with Rock Auto in the last 24 months or so, well, I suppose this is their business decision. I struggle with such a decision in such a competitive environment, but again their choice. I understand well how a good customer can be treated and I am willing to bet that the manufacturer who supplied the part to them would surely follow the spirit of the warranty. It is shameful to truly have policies such as this and sad that they profit from the unjust treatment. Just as much, it is my decision to never patronize Rock Auto again and to make a point of telling others about my experience and my opinion. I also struggle to believe the senior management of this organization condones the kind of treatment provided to me by their customer service team. If you are laughing, send it up the chain and let's see.
The
customer purchased a part with a core charge. As our Policies
page states, shipping charges on cores aren't
refundable. Cores must be complete and rebuildable to receive credit.
When the core return was received, there was a cut wire so the core
was unable to be rebuilt. We sent the...
attached photo multiple times
upon request, clearly showing the cut wire. We offered multiple times
to send the unrebuildable core back to the customer, but she did not
respond to our requests so the core was disposed of. The customer was
not charged return shipping (we absorbed this cost as a courtesy). No
refund will be issued for this core that can not be rebuilt.
Our Warranties page explains that, like other retailers of branded products, RockAuto honors the warranty provided by the manufacturer of the product. Warranties offer only replacement of the defective part with another part: no cash refunds (http://www.rockauto.com/docs/warranty.php).If Mr. [redacted]...
would like to proceed with the warranty claim, we will ship a replacement once we have tracking information showing the defective part is on its way back to us.
We are sorry for the damaged item! Ms. [redacted] requested a replacement part on Saturday, 8/6/16. We shipped a new part on 8/8/16, without requiring a return of the damaged part, and it arrived on 8/9/16. No refund is available, since we shipped a replacement part.
The customer ordered Wednesday evening using next business day
express shipping. We shipped his order Thursday, and under normal
circumstances it would have been delivered Friday. Due to a blizzard
on Thursday that affected FedEx shipments, FedEx delivered this
customer's shipment as soon as...
they were able - one business day late
on Monday. As we explained to the customer, since weather is not
something that is under anyone's control, no shipping cost refund
will be issued. He is welcome to return the part under our 30 day
return
policy.
The customer spoke with a representative hired to make decisions like
these, and who explained the answer we provided would not change by
talking to another representative. We could not cancel the order
since it had already shipped out and was in the carrier's hands.

RockAuto does not seem to understand consumers have no
interest in hearing about policies and procedure other retailers have in place.
We have no concern for loop holes that provide them with a false sense for not
being responsible. The bottom line is; RockAuto
sold me a defective part. This part leaked power steering fluid all over
my engine ruining both my alternator & power steering belts. I had to pay
my mechanic twice for installing the defective RockAuto part and then again to
install the replacement part. It is not unreasonable to ask RockAuto to credit
my credit card for the purchase price of the defective part. The longer this
goes on the angrier I’m getting. We are
now well into the principal of the matter and I will continue to pursue this
issue until I have my refund. When I do,
I go my way and RockAuto can go theirs. Regards,

Like other retailers of branded products, RockAuto does not offer any product warranty of our own--we honor the warranty provided by the manufacturer of the product. As our Policies page explains, warranties offer only replacement of the defective part with another part: no cash refunds and no reimbursement of labor costs, shipping costs or other expenses. By offering store credit upon return of the defective part, we offered a one-time exception in an attempt to allow the customer the option of replacing the pump locally and purchasing other parts he may need.Since this offer was declined, the customer can still replace the part under the regular part-for-part replacement warranty. To do so, he can use the return instructions we emailed him. (Alternatively, he can place a new order for the SAME part number and brand, then set up a Defective return on the NEW order number using the Order Status and Returns link and return the old part for a refund on the new order. Although manufacturers' warranties do not cover shipping costs, RockAuto will refund up to the cost of outbound Ground shipping costs for the same part on the new order.) No alternative refund will be issued.
On 6/21, Mr. [redacted] ordered front brake pads which note that they fit an EX and EX-L model Honda Accord. On 6/24, he reported that he received the wrong parts. In his report, he noted that the description and fitment details provided do not match his vehicle, which is true given that his complaint...
notes he owns an SE model Accord. We offered to have him return the parts at his expense, which he accepted. The return shipping label he generated noted that $5.69 would be deducted from his refund if he used it. On 7/3, we refunded Mr. [redacted] for the parts he returned less the cost of the return shipping label he used. As our Help page notes, shipping charges are not refundable unless the return is due to our mistake (http://www.rockauto.com/help/?page=4#Returns). Since Mr. [redacted] returned his parts because he ordered the wrong ones, we will not refund his initial or return shipping charges.
I agree Rock auto does beat competitors prices sometimes and ship you intial order in a timely manner, when it comes to returns and reshiping that's where the hassle comes in. Not to mention more than half of my orders I had to send back due to damages or incorrect items then they tell...oh we no longer carry the item you need or we have to refund your account sense the item you need has be discontinued. This order has been the worse of them all I've been call in their cutomer service number for days and each time I've been over talked, rushed, then they hang up in my face when all I want to know is how to correct an order in which Rock auto does not provide help, instructions or options to choose from for correcting my resent order. I really wish rock auto employees would treat their valued customers as such and not as a number waiting in line. Rock auto has helped me in the pass as well as caused me some hardship but I hope we can resolve theses issues so that I can continue to be a valued customer thanks for your time.
Mr. [redacted] rejected our response, but we already explained that we are honoring the policies that are posted on our website. We will not issue a refund under warranty.

The stabilizer bar links Mr. [redacted] purchased on Order #49335686 were listed as 11.80", and other sizes were also shown. When he set up a return online using our Order Status & Returns page he stated that these parts were much longer than his originals.

Our
part listings specify that that there are two front mufflers
available for his vehicle, and that one of them is an optional
muffler. This customer purchased both mufflers for vehicle, but only
needed one. As our Help page...
explains
(http://www.rockauto.com/lang/en/answersTab4.html#Returns),
every part we sell may be returned within 30 days for a refund of the
part price. Shipping charges are not refundable unless the return is
due to our mistake. The customer set up a return for the extra
muffler. Our online return prompts asked if he preferred his refund
to his original form of payment or in the form of store credit. He
chose store credit on 3/28/15, so that's how his refund was issued on
4/3/15 when the return was received. Since we shipped the part the
customer ordered, no shipping was refunded.
A
month after his refund was issued (5/6/15) he asked to change the
refund from the store credit he chose to his original payment method,
and we explained we were unable to make this change once the refund
had been issued (especially after this much time has passed). He
requested the same thing two months later in July, and we again
explained the refund type he chose in March can not be reversed 4
months after he voluntarily chose to receive his refund in the form
of store credit. We have refunded the customer for his unwanted item
in the form of credit he selected; no further or change of refund
will be issued.

[redacted] I DO NOT accept this offer because 1. RockAuto only lists this part as the only part that will fit this car. It does not say any where that there may be another size that fits this particular vehicle. Had they have said that there are different sizes for this vehicle I would have measured it. But what good would it have done because they don't even sell the correct part? 2. I sent back 2 different parts. One part had no grease on it and it was still in the original packaging and they refuse to refund my money on this. 3. The grease that was on the part CAME with the part and was meant to be put on it to help in its installation. So how can you say the part is no good when grease is going to be put on it anyways? If it were the correct part it would have fit and the point would be moot.4. They charged me $3.51 to return the incorrect part they had listed then they wanted me to send them another $12 and change for me to send the wrong part back to me in case I wanted to keep it. Why would I do that? If 2 parts cost $3.51 to send back to them, why would they charge me over $12 to send 1 wrong part back to me? I would like my money back for both parts and the $3.51 back for returning their incorrect part.[redacted]
We are sorry that Mr. [redacted] has had trouble with his [redacted] rotors. He reported that they had excessive runout within the first 30 days, and we provided a return label and instructions to send them back as ‘defective’ parts. Mr. [redacted] had the option to get a replacement or a refund, since every...
part we sell may be returned within 30 days for a refund of the part price (http://www.rockauto.com/help/?page=4#Returns), but he elected to receive a replacement. After receiving and installing the replacement set of rotors, Mr. [redacted] contacted us to say that they were also bad. The manufacturer confirms that these rotors are machined and ready to install upon purchase, so it is unusual for one set to have a problem, much less two. Warranties offer only replacement of the defective part with another part: no cash refunds and no reimbursement of shipping costs or other expenses (http://www.rockauto.com/docs/warranty.php). We offered an exception to this, and provided Mr. [redacted] return instructions to send the second set back for a store credit equal to the cost of the rotors. Shipping will not be included and Mr. [redacted] is not eligible for a refund under the manufacturer’s warranty.

The grease that was on the part CAME with the part and was meant to be put on it to help in its installation. So how can you say the part is no good when grease is going to be put on it anyways? If it were the correct part it would have fit and the point would be moot.4. They charged me $3.51 to return the incorrect part they had listed then they wanted me to send them another $12 and change for me to send the wrong part back to me in case I wanted to keep it. Why would I do that? If 2 parts cost $3.51 to send back to them, why would they charge me over $12 to send 1 wrong part back to me? I would like my money back for both parts and the $3.51 back for returning their incorrect part.[redacted]
We are sorry that Mr. [redacted] has had trouble with his [redacted] rotors. He reported that they had excessive runout within the first 30 days, and we provided a return label and instructions to send them back as ‘defective’ parts. Mr. [redacted] had the option to get a replacement or a refund, since every...
part we sell may be returned within 30 days for a refund of the part price (http://www.rockauto.com/help/?page=4#Returns), but he elected to receive a replacement. After receiving and installing the replacement set of rotors, Mr. [redacted] contacted us to say that they were also bad. The manufacturer confirms that these rotors are machined and ready to install upon purchase, so it is unusual for one set to have a problem, much less two. Warranties offer only replacement of the defective part with another part: no cash refunds and no reimbursement of shipping costs or other expenses (http://www.rockauto.com/docs/warranty.php). We offered an exception to this, and provided Mr. [redacted] return instructions to send the second set back for a store credit equal to the cost of the rotors. Shipping will not be included and Mr. [redacted] is not eligible for a refund under the manufacturer’s warranty.
This
customer purchased an A/C Compressor & Component Kit that our
website specified is for replacement of a Zexel type
compressor with casting # [redacted] with a 6 groove pulley and fittings
behind the clutch and in front of the rear mount. The customer did
not match this information to his...
original compressor prior to
purchasing it. As our Help page explains
(http://www.rockauto.com/lang/en/answersTab4.html#Returns),
every part we sell may be returned within 30 days for a refund of the
part price. Shipping charges are not refundable unless the return is
due to our mistake. Since we shipped what the customer ordered but
the customer neglected to match the relevant details in the part
listing to what he was replacing, he is welcome to return this kit
within 30 days but no shipping costs will be refunded.
