1 year and nothing

Bought a kit and a spoiler 1 year ago, more than 1000 euros.

They say that it has "been sent" more than 20 times but I still receive nothing.

The emails are not being answered since more than 2 months ago and when you call them, they say there is nothing they can do.

This is not my first review, in the past I wrote another one but they emailed me saying that they won't longer work on my purchase so I had to delete it.

"James" (if that's his real name) and the team behind this are shameless people who take the money from the customers who put their trust in this site.

Now say that this comment is false or email me back on an aggresive way again, I don't care. Hope people see what kind of business you are running and the way you do things.

AVOID LIKE THE PLAGUE

AVOID LIKE THE PLAGUE

This absolute scammers conned me and abused my good will. I had a spoiler delivered that was smashed to pieces. When I contacted the company “James” emplored that I give them another chance as they have now lost hundreds of pounds. I accept, only now to be ghosted by the company, ignoring my phone calls and emails.

DO NOT TRADE WITH THEM - NO PARTS SENT

Stay Clear - Ordered part in October, excuses after excuses from James on when I'd receive the part. Had to get my credit card company do a charge back. Totally dishonest. DO NOT TRADE WITH THEM!

Car web shop is awful

I don't want to be repeating what everyone else has written but I ordered a part a month ago and have still not had any communication as to whether or not it will be arriving. I do not believe this site is genuine.

I am sorry but this review is not genuine. We have now informed Trustpilot to look into negative reviews we are receiving on this platform and starting to look into taking legal action for libel. A Trustpilot reviewer has recently lost a court case in similar fashion - https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-55981600. We have no Vithun Alatunda on any of our order records. We are available on the phones Monday-Friday, 10am to 5pm and email. There is no way you could order a part and have no way to check the order. As for being genuine, we have been operating since 2003. It would be very impressive to be a scam for nearly 20 years.

Rated 1 out of 5 stars

Definitely a scam site

They take your money but don't deliver anything, worst of all they don't even try to pretend they are going to send what you paid for. Looks like the bank will have to refund what was paid.

Edit
If anyone has accidentally ordered from this website before reading the reviews and can't get a response just write a review. They get back to you and tell you about your order and ask you to change your review.

Hell Daniel, this is Lara from customer service. I have checked your order for the Mercedes spoiler and we didn't take your payment? We cannot refund a payment if we haven't taken it? We emailed you to confirm the delivery time for the spoiler and you didn't respond. There is no need to write reviews to contact us. Our sales lines are open Monday to Friday. Please call our sales manager James for more info - 01422 316144.

Absolutely disgraceful company

Absolutely disgraceful company, be warned! Order placed March, here we are mid September and it still hasn't arrived. They were quite helpful to start with but no I can't get an answer on the phone or response to my emails! Apparently they've had import issues which at first was plausible but considering my job is importing containers I now find this hard to believe! ... They shouldn't have things on their website They can't supply! Keep your money and go elsewhere!

The worst online purchase experience…

The worst online purchase experience I’ve ever had.

Months and months of lying and no communication from this so called “business” has left me with the most sour taste in my mouth.

Purchase made it April 2021 and after 3/4 MONTHS of lies and empty promises, I’m now sat here with no product and an extra month deep in a refund request.

Like many I’ve had to get my bank involved and will be pushing for a suspension of business practice for Carwebshop as well as to receive my refund finally.

Absolutely avoid at all costs, disgusting business.

AVOID.

Took money for car parts not in stock. Waited a month to see if my part would turn up, it didn’t. So I asked for a refund and they said that’s fine they’ll process it for me. 6 weeks later still no refund. Awful at replying to emails. 0 communication from start to finish. Have had to get my bank involved now to get my money back. Absolutely hopeless business avoid at all costs.

Wouldn’t recommend this company at all

Wouldn’t recommend this company at all, seems like people only get a response when they leave a bad review - I wish i listened to the review! Have chased 3 times since 9th august and still nothing.

My latest email to them is here, might actually get a response now it’s on trust pilot.

Good evening,

I placed the above order on 27th June, was told it would be in stock end of July, I agreed to that. Chased you at the end of July and you told me middle of August due to customs, right ok I agreed to that too. I work in the shipping sector and do over 30 clearances a day, you can’t tell me clearance takes 18 days, because I know for a fact it doesn’t - courier companies do quick clearances to prevent delays like these. I have sent 2 emails now with no response whatsoever. I chose your company out of trust instead of listening to the reviews on trust pilot however at this point I am beginning to regret my decision.

I am now desperate for this item and at present (18.08.2021) I have still not received my order, I need this by 26.08.2021 latest, failure to do so will be breaching the consumer rights act 2015 and I will have no choice but to request a full refund to my account.

Looking forward to your response.

Hello Cody, I am very sorry for the delay on your order. Since Brexit on the 1st of January 2021, all parts being imported into the EU have been delayed due to the new legislation. All parts are now checked by UK customs and companies have to pay import duty and VAT. The back log on goods has been ridiculous for all UK companies, especially containers like we deal in. We can now import faster from the US and China than we can from France. This combined with COVID has created delays on lots of parts across the UK and rising prices. We have combatted this by buying in bulk and increasing our stock levels. I am sorry your order was delayed and I will contact you now to speak about this. Thanks. James. www.carwebshop.co.uk

CWS is a joke

This company is a complete joke full of explanations and here negative feedback seems to be always customers fault. Had to wait months for parts that never arrived and few months more for refund.
Feels like this company is broke and they have to "loan" customers money for a while to cover their own expenses.

Note that many of these short 5 star ratings seems to be sent by CWS itself as they are given in bursts. (Reported to Trustpilot)

Good luck acquiring long term customers with your style, despite it seems that you're not doing business much longer.

Hello Janne, it seems very strange to us that we are receiving these negative reviews on our general business, rather than actual issues with specific orders. We too are in talks with Trustpilot to sort this. I am mystified how we can be at fault for receiving good reviews and how long good reviews need to be in length? We are always on the phone to solve any issues. We processed 319 retail orders in July and received 3 negative reviews. After 20 years in business, we understand that there will be issues with some orders but we have a 99% success rate. We currently hold over 1000 parts in stock and on a 24 hour delivery. Our retail side only accounts for 20% of our business and our trade side delivers to over 500 bodyshops, garages and accident repair centres. This accounts for 80% of our business. Some cars we sell parts for can be up to 30+ years old and with COVID and Brexit hitting our industries, there are bound to be delays on certain parts. Please call me (Joshua) on 01422 316144 and I will be more than happy to discuss any aspects of our business on the phone to you. Thanks.

Hello Truth, I am sorry but we do not believe this review for a minute. We have reported this to Trustpilot. It is very strange you are not naming yourself but putting the 'the truth'. We offer refunds at anytime on orders and if credit card protection was ever needed, it can be claimed up to 5 years after the sale. We deliver over 300 orders per month and we do expect some things to go wrong and expect 1-2 negative reviews. No business can be perfect but we ALWAYS offer refunds, should a customer decide they no longer want a part. Please call us on 01422 316144 to discuss this further. James. Sales Manager. Car Web Shop.

Not the best experience.

It took 7 months, multiple emails and several phone calls but I eventually received what I ordered. However, I believe that if I had not kept chasing up my order I never would have received it.

Hello Lyndon, I am sorry you feel unhappy with your order. I have looked into this for you. I can see that you were informed of the delay on this part due to the suppliers factory struggling with COVID. As they were operating with 10% staff, we confirmed that the part would take several months to arrive and you were offered a refund immediately. You confirmed you wanted to hold on for it. I cannot understand why this has been reported as a fault on our behalf? Please contact me on 01422 316144 and I will be happy to go through this with you and explain what happened. Many thanks. James. Sales Manager. Car Web Shop.

Receiving very poor service from them

Receiving very poor service from them. Placed order #100018612. Was told 3 to 4 weeks. Then told max another 2 weeks still not received not given any tracking information or any update. Sent many emails, contact forms and phoned many times without replies. Got through once said having problems with emails never got anything from me and they would chase up but got no update. Left message on answer machine left phone number got no replies. If I don't get a reply soon I'll just have to cancel order. Don't recommend poor communication skills with this company.

Update - Thank you Suzanne contacted yourselves by replying to today's email after reading your reply here but someone was impatient and didn't wait for me to reply and has cancelled my order. Remember I'm having to wait over 2 months to get my order and car web couldn't wait a day :(

Hello, I am sorry but we have been closed for the UK bank holiday. We cannot answer emails or the phone during this time. I have investigated this for you. The part is due into us this week, on our stock order. You confirmed you were happy to wait, as we do not stock MG ZR parts, with the car being over 20 years old now. We never took payment for the order, so I cannot understand how you could claim the money back? Please get in touch if you need any confirmation on this. Thanks. Suzanne. Customer Relations.

Very disappointed.

So I ordered a an item for my car on the 27th Oct 2020 and I was told it would take 3-4 weeks for delivery which was fine.
It's now 15th Feb 2021 and after many emails chasing my item up, I kept being told it should be with me next week, unfortunately still nothing. So I tried phoning, only to get a recorded message saying email was the only form of contact to reach them at the moment.
So a couple of more emails sent which were then ignored including one where I asked for a full refund.
Feeling like I had been scammed I had no choice but to contact my bank to start a dispute case for the transaction to Car Web Shop.
Shortly after contacting my bank I received a fresh email (not a reply from one of my ignored emails) from CWS, titled Tracking. It said your item has been shipped and then a name and a number.
I searched the info online and couldn't find any couriers/delivery companies that this info applied to, which I found rather strange.
My bank is now dealing with it.
I thought this was a reputable company. Or it might have been once over. Unfortunately I wouldn't recommend now. And now I'm just hoping my bank can recover my money.

Hello Mark, I am sorry but we have no record of anyone called 'Mark' asking for a refund within the last 3 years? Our last one was Mark Watson in 2017. If this is a legitimate order, please can you please send an email to sales@carwebshop.co.uk. We always process refunds within 24 hours and they take 3-5 working days to clear back into the customers account. Strange you haven't asked us but have asked your bank to take funds back? Many thanks.
