“No mention that this is part of Autodoc based in Germany. When the order is placed they tell you that your tracking will be available within 24h- fair enough- then they tell you that the delivery will be 6 days later. Not much use if you have a vehicle off road.”
“Ordered parts on the 3rd, tracking provided after 4days but no progress on the tracking. Contacted the courier (Evri) who said items had not been dispatched from the vendor and that they were waiting to collect.
Contacted customer services at onlinecarparts by email with this information and got a reply saying I needed to wait another 6-9days!
Paid a premium for delivery too of over £8 for this shambles.”
“It appears Onlinecarparts.co.uk have links to AUTODOC, a firm with many bad reviews. I paid Onlinecarparts.co.uk 10 days ago for 2 rear suspensiion springs, but nothing has been delivered. Evri/Hermes have given me a tracking number, but they can't find my parcel. I've just ordered more springs from a company on ebay because i'm not confident i'll ever get what i ordered from Onlinecarparts.co.uk/AUTODOC.”
“Avoid complete waste of time and money, ordered part for right hand drive supplied the part number they sent correct part but for a left hand drive car , emailed them no reply .”
“without doubt the worst company I have ever dealt with!
1. Don’t be fooled by the .co.uk domain name and uk sterling prices. Parts are shipped from overseas. My parcel took over a week to arrive.
2. Don’t be fooled by the registration based parts identification functionality of the website. My parts didn’t fit. According to the small print this was my fault as I didn’t check oem numbers. onlinecarparts would not cover the cost of the return
3. Don’t expect a refund. Had to chase several times and then provide proof of delivery. Was told a refund would be actioned, then after chasing 5 days later the story changed to not having received the parts, and then the story changed again to the parts needing to be inspected. So 5 weeks later, still no refund, and have put in a section 75 claim via my credit card company.
4. Do yourself a favour, and just order from euro car parts!”
“After sending VIN number they still managed to send out a powersteering pump, alternator, and crankshaft pulley which are not compatible with each other !!
Numerous attempts emailing them getting the standard emails back and completely ignoring that they actually made a mistake, they now turned around saying its your own fault.
So not only few hundreds out of pocket , no van which means no income I got to shell out again because of these clowns. Don't mind waiting 2 weeks for parts bu at least check if they compatible with each other ??? Joke of a company AVOID !!! No customer service or care. Plain ignorant”
“So ordered some parts for my car. Delivery was ok. Just expensive shipping 8.50£. Then I decided no longer needed this part. Because i needed to fix some different part in my car then I ordert. So I ask for return. They agree. I sent back that part to them. Saw on tracking that they received on Monday. Now past to weeks they still investigating that part. Still didn't get my money back. Email them. So no money back and don't have that part either because I returned.”
“Order Friday evening ok I understand its closed and same over the weekend totally understand but payment cleared Saturday so Monday morning you would expect for the part to get processed and shipped out Wednesday its still getting moved from 1 warehouse to another and its not even been shipped out yet so this rate probably next week.
I'll never buy again also £8.50 delivery I paid £2.50 delivery and waited 2 days for break disk from online Automotive.”
“Absolute joke of a company. DO NOT BUY FROM THESE!! Sent me the wrong brake pads and discs despite me giving them my reg. I have sent back via DPD but for some reason Autodoc won't respond to their questions regarding customs.”
“Very poor after sales service, they sent me the wrong part and since the 18th October I have been waiting for them to email me a return label, still hasn't arrived despite me emailing them daily since then.
I would not ever use this company again and I would warn anyone not to use them either - they are exceptionally useless and the staff don't appear to be able to use their initiative.”
“Didn't realise it was a German company. Ordered a rear wiper blade for my Golf, found it in their catalogue at a good price (£6.36). I paid by PayPal, but did not check the details, and received a receipt for the £18.76 I'd paid for it! Turns out "Delivery" was £8.45, and "Security Delivery a further £3.95! wiper blade doesn't need any security, and weighs next to nothing, so where on earth were these prices plucked from? CHECK CALL THE COST BEFORE BUYING!
Their Ts & Cs allow for a "cancellation of contract" clause within 2 weeks, so I've sent that email before the thing has even arrived! No reply yet - just done it.”
“Don't deserve any star rating .. order over a month ago .. was told It was delayed so we canceled order .. courier stated we received it which we haven't..still awaiting refund..absolutely disgusting”
“Absolutely unprofessional and unreliable!!they sent the order after two weeks?!failing to dispatch it in two days, as advertised and agreed by their terms and conditions!
Absolutely rubbish customer care!!
Please please do not be fooled by small prices!!”
“As others have said, a company that appears to be UK based and is in fact in Germany. Parts take forever to arrive - it took five days just to clear German customs. As car parts tend to be urgent, there is little point in a company like this other than to scam UK customers. Wish I'd checked online reviews before ordering...”
