ORDERS

  1. Click on the menu button on the top right-hand corner of the site.
  2. Select “Track Order” from the menu.
  3. If you are logged in to your account, the page will show a list of all your current and past orders. If not, enter your email address and order number, then click “Track Order.”
  4. Once you click “View Order Status,” you will be directed to an “Order Details” page where can find a summary of your order.
  5. Click on “Track Item” and you will be routed to the courier’s tracking page.

Yup! Once your package is shipped out, a tracking number will be sent via email.

After you place your order, your debit or credit card’s issuing bank will place a temporary authorization hold on your account for the entire amount of your purchase. This is only a pre-authorization and not a charge. You will be charged only when each item of your order ships. As a result, you may see multiple charges as parts can ship from different warehouses for expedited service.

For custom-made products, due to the longer lead times associated with the fulfillment of these orders, you will be charged prior to the expiration of the credit card authorization, regardless of when the merchandise is shipped. In the event we are unable to fulfill an order for a custom-made product, you will receive a refund of the amount charged for such product.

CarParts.com only ships within the continental United States.

RETURNS

Please click here to see our full return policy.

Whenever you buy an aftermarket part, your purchase price may include a core charge, which is the deposit you pay for the core, or recyclable component of the part. If you return the core of your old part to us, you can get that deposit back.

It works similarly to “bottle bills,” or container deposit laws, where you get money back for recycling empty soda cans, plastic bottles, etc. Like many other aftermarket retailers, this is one of the ways we’re doing our part to encourage recycling, prevent parts from piling up in landfills, and help protect the environment.

If your old core is in reusable condition and you wish to return it, please do the following:

  • Call our Returns Desk at 1-866-529-0412 and select Option #3.
  • Ask for an RMA number and instructions on returning your core.
  • Once you have an RMA number, simply mail the core back to the address provided along with a copy of your original receipt within sixty (60) days.

Please note that for core returns, you must use the exact same box in which your replacement part was received. Your core cannot be damaged, but only “non-working” or not usable because of failure. Damaged cores will not receive credit. Fluids must be drained. The customer will be responsible for the cost of shipping the core back to CarParts.com.

Core charges and taxes may vary, depending on the state in which you purchased the part.

If you have any questions, please contact us and we’ll be happy to help. #GoGreen

 

 

PAYMENTS

Zip requires your name, address, date of birth, a US mobile number, and either a debit or credit card for sign up. Instead of having a traditional username and password, Zip requires a mobile phone number and text message verification.

In order to have an account with Zip, you must:

  • Live in the US
  • Be at least 18 years old
  • Have a valid and verifiable mobile number
  • Use a credit or debit card to make a purchase

You can sign up during the checkout process. For the initial sign up Zip will just need your date of birth, a mobile number and either a debit or credit card. You'll know if you are approved instantly!

The easiest way to manage your Zip orders is via Zip app which you can download here.

Zip also has a Customer Portal where you can log in by entering your mobile number or email address and have instant access to your current and past orders at Zip Customer Login.

Zip notifies customers with payment reminders via SMS and email before each payment is due.

Your first installment of 25% of the purchase price is due at the time of checkout. The remaining three installments will be billed automatically, every two weeks. *

* An installment fee may apply. For example, for a $200 purchase, you’d make four $51 payments every two weeks starting today for a 34.7% annual percentage rate and a total of payments of $204. A $4 installment fee is charged at commencement - you pay $1 of this fee as a prepaid finance charge when you make your initial payment today. The remaining $3 is included in your future payments. Fees can range from $0 to $7.50 depending on the purchase price. Actual amount of fee for your purchase will be reflected in checkout. Estimation of installment payment and annual percentage rate excludes potential tax and shipping costs.

Late fees may apply, subject to eligibility. See complete US Terms or Canada Terms for more detail. Est. payments on product pages exclude taxes, shipping and consumer fees added at checkout. Loans to California residents are pursuant to CFL license #60DBO- 110414. Zip is the originator of all loans in CO, NV, MA, and MD. Where indicated in the terms and conditions, loans in other states are originated by WebBank. All loans subject to approval. Zip Co US Inc. ID 1963958 NMLS Consumer Access. © 2023 Zip Co

Of course. Just log into the App or Customer Portal and choose the order you wish to pay early. Zip Customer Login.

It’s important to notify Zip to avoid a late fee if your payment method is not up-to-date. Payments are automatic, however, Zip charges late fees in certain instances, such as if your payment cannot be processed because your debit card account has insufficient funds or your credit card is no longer valid. For more information on late fees, please see Zip's help page. If your payment is denied in error, you can contact Zip Support by submitting a request at https://help.us.zip.co/hc/en-us/requests/new

Please see Zip's Help Center article on approvals. If you have further questions, you can contact Zip Support by submitting a request at https://help.us.zip.co/hc/en-us/requests/new

Zip associates your card with your order when you first complete the checkout process. If you need to change which payment method is used for future installments for an order, follow these steps to associate a different card with a given order. This will cause all further installments for that order to be billed against your new card.

  1. Log into the Customer Portal at Zip Customer Login
  2. Go to the Orders Page and click View Order for the order you would like to change.
  3. Click Edit next to the payment card, select the card you’d like to use, and click “Use this Card”
HOW DO RETURNS, REFUNDS, AND PARTIAL REFUNDS WORK? As soon as Zip is notified of the return, our customers are refunded the amount they’ve paid to date and Zip cancels all future payments. In the event of a partial refund, scheduled installments are reduced/canceled first, and then paid installments are refunded.

 

Please see Zip's Help Center article on common error messages. If you have further questions, you can contact Zip Support by submitting a request at https://help.us.zip.co/hc/en-us/requests/new

Yes. There is $1.00 fee charged for every installment, except where prohibited by applicable law. So there will be a total of $4.00 fee per order. The $4 fee is fixed per order & will not change by the order amount. Pursuant to applicable regulations, this fee is currently not applied to orders with ship to addresses in the States of Nevada and Indiana. *

If you received a Zip refund and did not cancel your order, don’t worry! There is a slight delay on shipment for your order, and you will be recharged when the order is ready to be shipped.

When an attempt at purchase is made you may see a pending charge on your statement. This is called an authorization hold. Those charges are pending charges and ones that should fall off within the next 3 - 5 days. If any of the pending charges do post to your account or if you have further questions, you can contact Zip Support by submitting a request at https://help.us.zip.co/hc/en-us/requests/new
