Is CARiD reliable?

quise2024 · June 16, 2015

Has anyone used this site before? If so coul you share your buying experience please.

I am in the (long) process of making some mods to my new truck. I know of some sites members use (autoanything, realtruck, shopchevyparts) but I dont recall seeing anyone say they used CARiD before. And anytime I search for what Im looking for their site is usually one of the top few to pop up in the search.

Only thing Ive heard was thrpugh a youtube review for some bulbs and this person said that theure basically a middle man, but their bulbs arrived broken.

Thanks for your help

I just ordered a set of light brackets last week from them and it went painless. I haven't received the brackets yet so I cant say they are 100% reliable.

They will reliably charge you more than most anybody on the web.

Expensive & slow shipping but the parts will arrive as described. I think they are located in NJ, took a little over a week to get some stuff to Cali. Imo, you can find better and cheaper sites.

Thanks for the replies, will use them as last resort. Good to know that you do get your products though and its not some knock-off china replica site

They had the lowest price on the brackets that I was looking for and as for shipping they were quick. My parts should be here tomorrow.

I have used them as well. I usually check them, 4wheel online and auto anything. If you call 4 wheel online they can sometimes get you a better deal. I bought my tires, exhaust and tonneau cover from them.

I have ordered from them as well. They even gave me a discount for having served in the military.

I recently bought a dynomax catback from them. Shipped quickly, had no problems. And a good price

funny... i ordered my dynomax from them too (best price around).... They send me an email saying they can't ship it to NY. I called and the woman said "it has an illegal catalytic converter" I tried for a half hour to tell her it has NO catalytic converter and it mounts behind my trucks 3 factory ones. Had to climb the flag pole to management who agreed and said he would get it to ship tomorrow. 3 days later still hadn't shipped so i told them i want them to cover the shipping charges. The guy took that as "cancel my order" so i got a cancellation email. Had to call back again and after an hour phone call and 2 more days wait it finally shipped.

i guess that's the headache i get for wanting it the cheapest i could find.

p.s. love my dynomax VT

just for the record the mud flaps i ordered on the same order came the next day. the exhaust situation was a mess

I had ordered the dynomax from summit racing. After about 2 wks got an email saying backordered again. I canceled that order and ordered from Carid, got it in about 3dys. I don't know, sometimes things occur that you just shrug your shoulders and say, I don't understand the problem.
