We acknowledge that the strut mounts Mr
*** ordered were not correct for his vehicle (or the strut he ordered), which is why we issued a full refund for itWe also acknowledge that the bellows he ordered would not fit either because they were defective from the factory; we fully refunded those either.Because the struts Mr
*** ordered are made to the original equipment specifications of his vehicle (and not a proprietary KYB design), nothing precludes him from obtaining strut mounts and/or bellows made by a different manufacturerHe did not want to do that, which we understandAs our Help page explains (http://www.rockauto.com/help/?page=4#Returns), though, shipping is not refundable unless the return was due to our mistakeWe made no mistake in shipping the struts he ordered, which are correct for his application.This message concludes our correspondence with him

refund for their price, on 12/As our Help page explains, shipping

On 5/27, Ms*** went to our Order Status & Returns page to report that she ordered the wrong partsWe authorized her returnWe are not sure why she chose to obtain a shipping quote from UPSIf she clicks "Get A Return Shipping Label From Us" on the Order Status & Returns page, she can
generate a prepaid FedEx return label, the cost of which will be deducted from her refund ($17.05)

[The shipping instructions for the return said that if the box was damaged that they would not refund my moneyIt did not state that affixing a shipping label on the box was considered to be damaging the productI have pictures of the box that arrived at the company and also have insurance on the deliveryThe options given on your web site assured me that it was the correct part until I took it to a dealer at my own expenses and they finally gave me the correct part]

I called multiple times asking them to check their warehouse for my orderThey told me it was shippedIt was only after weeks that they finally stated "oh, yea your order was never shippedWe can send it now." So, no, I don't accept their pitiful apologyYes, I received a refund, but it was too little too lateHad they checked when I initially called, we would not be in this matter nowIf the Revdex.com wants to close, they canBut I am not accepting "I'm sorry".

Rock Auto should not have offered as choice the incorrect size for brake/rotors when you put in the year, make, and model of an auto on the websiteThis misuse of the internet ordering making customers choose incorrectly and then having to return the product for the correct products for their year, make and model and paying outrages amounts of shipping.

Mr*** attempts to install a part that did not fit his vehicle rendered it unsalableIf the reason the part could not be installed was due to a manufacturer's defect, we would have provided a refundHowever, the manufacturer of the part inspected it and concluded that no manufacturer's defect existedWe do not know why it did not fit Mr*** car, but we cannot refund him for a part that we cannot sell to another customerThis message concludes our correspondence with him

On 10/15, Mr*** visited our Order Status and Returns page to arrange a return for the brake parts he orderedWe authorized his return, and provided return instructions, stating: "After you've shipped the package, please enter the tracking number on our Order Status page (http://www.rockauto.com/orderstatus/) so we can alert the warehouse staff to expect it." We have no tracking number for this customer's returnHowever, our warehouse located the returned parts, and we issued Mr*** a refund for them on 1/10.Thank you,***

On 1/10, Mr*** went to our Order Status & Returns page to report that he did not receive some of the parts he orderedWe shipped replacements the following dayHe received them 1/16.We are sorry he didn't get his parts when he hopedWe will not refund his shipping

I have been in contact with PayPal and my bankPayPal has confirmed that there is no such lock on the transaction and it is able to receive a refund but as I stated Rock auto will not do so and keeps making excuses and blaming others so they don't have to do the refund! I have asked for a different form of refund or credit trying to be flexible but they refuse and quote there policiesThis does not change the fact they are holding my money for months and have no intention of refunding itI'm not going away and they will not keep my hard earned money!

We are not mechanics or techniciansWhen customers call to inquire about the parts we sell, we direct them to our website catalog, which shows all the parts we have and all the information we know about themWe are sorry if our representative was less than professional.This customer ordered
Thursday 3/at 4:30pmAs our Help page explains (http://www.rockauto.com/help/?page=3#ORDERSHIP ), orders ship within one business day (business days are M-F)Mr***'s order shipped Friday 3/and was delivered Monday 3/13, the next business dayWe are not sure why he thought the order would arrive sooner, since we showed "You should receive by Monday 3/13" in his shopping cart and shipment confirmation

While
it is not typical practice to issue refunds to anything other than
the original payment method, since the details of this situation
called for an exception the customer was issued a check refund for
$as requested on 7/8/The customer has received and cashed
the check refund as
of 7/15/
