If your shipment arrived with a damaged or incorrect item, please repackage the item(s) in the original shipping container and refer to our Return Procedure, see below.
Upon receiving your order, inspect all packages thoroughly for missing, damaged, or incorrect parts. If you receive a damaged part, DO NOT accept the package, have the shipper immediately return to sender. If the shipper has left a damaged package in your absence, immediately contact the shipping company and have the package returned to sender. Also, please call us immediately if you receive missing, damaged or incorrect parts to prevent you from being charged freight on both receipt and return.

Freight Charge
Return freight charges are not reimbursable 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 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” email the day your refund is processed. If the purchase was made through 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 some 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 (either to one of our stores or shipped back directly to the re-manufacturer) we will refund you the amount of the CORE charge/deposit. Please call our Returns Desk at 1-866-529-5530, 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 together with a copy of your original receipt within sixty (60).
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 or the manufacturer.
