Freight Charge
We are not responsible for any return freight charges unless the return is due to a manufacturer’s defect or a direct result of an error on our part.
Refund Processing
Refunds are normally processed and credited within 24-48 business hours after our warehouse receives your part(s). Once the returned part(s) has/have been inspected and processed, the refund will be credited to the payment method you used to buy the item(s) you ordered. You will receive a “credit approved” e-mail the day your refund is processed. If the purchase was made with a debit or credit card, it may take an additional 1-7 business day(s) for your financial institution to reflect the credit back on your account.
Core Returns
Some products have a core charge associated with them. A core is a portion of a part that can be recycled or reused by the manufacturer. Doing this lowers the manufacturing cost of new parts and helps our environment.
For this reason a product with a core charge/deposit has an additional charge associated with it. If your old part (the core) is returned to us in reusable condition we will refund you the amount of the core charge/deposit. Please call our Returns Desk at 1-866-529-0412 and select Option #3, to get an RMA number and instructions on returning your core. Once you have an RMA number, simply mail back the core to the address provided along with a copy of your original receipt within sixty (60) days.
Core returns must be for the exact same part purchased and cannot be damaged. Fluids must be drained. The customer will be responsible for the cost of shipping the core back to CarParts.com.
