Although your account shows a pending or even settled transaction, you will not be
charged for the part and your order will not be submitted due to the payment not

information not matching. Please allow 2-3 business days for your account to adjust
and the money that is currently being held in the pending status to be available.
This is an automatic process that clears its self between the financial institution
and the credit card processing company. If you have any further questions please
contact our Customer Service Team.

Duplicate Order Response(modify the yellow prior to sending)

We noticed there was a problem with your order. We received 2 order confirmations
from you 36895 & 36896. This happens if our system/network hangs while making
the payment or if the customer clicks the submit button more than once.

However, as the orders hit our system, it red flags the transactions for duplication.
So our system only accepted your first order i.e 36895 and voided the other
transaction.

Please allow 1-2 business days for the voided charge to drop from your pending
status.

Unable to reach us on the phone

Our customer service team works diligently to assist all of our customers. Many
customers use the phone system to assist them in purchasing parts. This in turn

Questions:
Why would the shipping button be red in the BE?
Can we have the emails that are automatically sent to the customer, set to
non-reply
 Where is the warranty information listed for a part
How can I determine where the status of a customers return is and the status
of their refund
Do we inform customers that their order will be dropped shipped when they
place the order
Do we have any more knowledge on the ECM code that is loaded on at the
factory, does the customer still have to get it programed, how can we sell
them the correct one
What is the criterion for a warranty return to get their money back or another
part sent and do we pay for shipping new part?
What is the criterion for a defective return to get their money back or another
part sent and do we pay for shipping new part?
What conditions can I get a return shipping label made and who is the contact
for that
What is the trigger for crediting money back from a core return, new part
return, etc.
If an order is canceled or OOS and not shipped, I can credit full refund
correct?

Website Improvement Suggestions:

1. The order verification email that is sent out automatically has a duplicate
paragraph in it. It looks unprofessional. Need to delete one of them.
2. The shipping delay message that appears in someones shopping cart under
the items description should be changed to red text. Right now most people
dont even see it.
3. When a customer purchased multiple parts on one PO# and then they want
to return one of them for a NEW or CORE return or any return actually. The
system has a bug. It will not allow them to select the one part that they need
to return. It will only select the part on top of the list.
4. On the return request page and the order status page we should change the
Order Number heading to P.O. Number (Purchase Order #) because on
the packing slip that people get all have multiple order numbers on it, and
only one says P.O. number and that is the one they need. Many people are
very confused on which number to use.
5. When the auto refund button is used in the BE it puts a note in the order
automatically. But it does not include the date and time stamp. This should be
updated to be included.
6. In the Request a return for delivered item email, the order number is
absent. It would be very helpful for the order number to be added to this
automatically generated email.
7. In the Your APK Order Return Request email, the heading of the email ie
NEW RETURN and the second bullet item on the bottom need to match the
letter that is automatically updated based on the customers input. Ie N, C,
D, W all three items need to match. If the Letter is being updated so can the
bullet item and the heading. Also, in the center of the email where the RMA
number is it says Order. It needs to be updated from AutoPartsKart Return
(Order 12345N) TO AutoPartsKart Return (RMA# 12345N). All three of
these things must be checked and changed on every return. This is a big
waste of time.
8. When a customer has already submitted a return request and they try it
again they get an error message of This order has already been returned. This
is very confusing to people when they still have that part on their kitchen
 table, they know it hasnt been returned yet. It needs to be changed to say A
Return Request has already been submitted for this order.
9. Customers that pay with PayPal need to receive a message stating that the
shipping address on file with PayPal is where we will be sending their order,
not to the address that they just typed into our order page.
10.Next to the search bar have a bubble that says You can enter your cars
year, make, model here. something like that

Notes:
PA- Parts Authority is the East Coast supplier

ME- Metro is the West Coast supplier

Pink orders in the back end means that it is a nonstock item that will be drop
shipped directly from the manufacturer to the customer. It will delay the shipping by
one to two days. It could also mean that a catalytic converter was purchased for
CA / NY and it may be illegal.

Transaction ID: with alpha numeric characters is a paypal order and just numbers is
credit card

PayPal accounts cannot change the shipping address from what is listed on their
PayPal account

Returns are charged a 15% restocking fee of the price of the part

Defective return is applicable only within 30 days of order. Once that passes all
returns will become warranty claim.If its defective return within 30 days, PA issues
return label and reships a good part.If customer puts request after 30 days, use
warranty claim template

Return Procedure:

Fill out the Return Request form. We need your order number (use number listed on order
confirmation email), email address and the part number for the core you wish to return. You can
select Core return as the reason for return. If you do not have your order number, please
indicate when your order was purchased and the full name you used upon ordering. All RMA
(return merchandise authorization) numbers are e-mailed in 1-2 business days with a return
shipping address and complete shipping instructions. No core returns will be accepted without a
RMA number.

Core Charges

All remanufactured parts come with an associated core charge or core deposit. The CORE is the
part that is remanufactured and brought back to specifications. When you buy a remanufactured
part, you are expected to send your current part to us as a Re-buildable Core. When we receive
your core, it will be inspected by our Return department to make sure the core is re-buildable.
The core charge is refunded in full once it passes inspection. No partial credit is given on bad
cores. Although our goal is to exchange your core for our remanufactured part, you can order a
remanufactured part without having a core. We have an extensive core acquisition program
which provides us with cores for remanufacturing so there is no waiting because we have
product on the shelf and ready to go.

You are responsible for paying the shipping fee to ship the Core to us. It is your obligation to
determine whether the core value outweighs the shipping cost. You may not want to ship us your
core if the shipping cost is higher than the core value.

Core Returns

Cores must be complete, fully assembled and in re-buildable condition in order to receive core
credit. A box of parts does not constitute a re-buildable core. A part requiring welding does not
constitute a re-buildable core.

Upon receipt, Auto Parts Kart will inspect the core and refund the core charge less whatever non-
wear parts are broken, missing, or damaged. Cores requiring welding may be fixed at the
customer's option in order to make the core Re-buildable. Charges for repairing a core are
deducted from the core refund.

Cores must be returned within 90 days. After 90 days, a 25% late charge will be deducted
from the core refund.

Salvage (Used) cores associated with the sale of Salvage (Used) parts need only to be complete
and assembled. All cores must be returned in the original manufacturer's box. Cores returned
must be the same as the unit sold.

The cores should be packed carefully for return in order to protect the core from shipping
damage. We are not responsible for shipping damages.

Shipping Policy
Some of our competitors dramatically increase shipping costs, often charging double, triple or
even quadruple of the actual cost to ship the items. Rest assured, Auto Parts Kart has an internal
policy to be fair and open with all customers and never try to gouge for shipping costs.

Estimated Shipping Charges

Shipping charges for per transaction are estimated based on Dimension/Weight of the part in the
kart, percentage of the price and the type of shipping method selected. The minimum shipping
expense is listed for each shipping method. The freight amount charged to customer will be the
actual freight charged by the carrier (UPS, Fed-Ex, or USPS).

Tips for saving on shipping costs: Before choosing your shipping option, see the exact ground
transit time for your zip code. Sometimes the cheapest option available is also the fastest, aside
from the very expensive overnight option. There is no need to use more expensive options like
2nd-day-air when a standard ground shipment is just as fast and much less expensive.

Delivery Time

Ground orders are usually delivered in 3 to 7 business days. Some orders may take longer than 7
days. Orders placed after 1 PM EST will be processed the next day for all shipping methods.

Overnight and 2-day delivery is not guaranteed, if you select overnight or 2-day shipping that
only means that arrangements will be made to ship it out using that service. Please be aware that
overnight orders placed on Friday will be delivered Monday with the exclusion of a holiday. We
do not offer delivery on Saturday, Sunday or holidays.

Transit times and Estimated delivery dates shown are estimates by the carrier and, while
usually accurate, are not guaranteed by AutoPartsKart.com. If you choose a part listed with a
delay or a payment method that doesnt process immediately, add the delay to the shipping
estimate for the most accurate shipping time frame."

Oversized and Overweight Surcharge

Some items may have surcharges for size and weight from the shipping service. The customers
will be notified for the same prior to shipping, which will be added to shipping charge as an extra
cost.

Damaged & Not-Delivered Items

The shipping carrier is solely responsible for all items damaged and lost during shipping.
Customers will need to fill out a damaged claim report from the carrier for reimbursement. We
do not take returns of damaged items as we are not responsible for the reimbursement.

The customer is responsible for ensuring that the provided address is accessible for delivery. If
the delivery of a package is refused or the package is returned by the courier due to an invalid
address (undeliverable), all shipping costs (to and fro) will be deducted from customer's refund.

Risk of Loss
All items purchased from our website are made pursuant to our shipping terms, which are F.O.B.
shipping point. This means that that risk of loss and title of any item is passed to you at the
shipping point, which is when the carrier accepts the goods for transport.

Availability and Parts/Accessories Stocking Status

The website is currently hooked into a live database of parts availability. Just because an item is
shown on our website does not mean that the part is available in stock and will be delivered
immediately. We will do our best to notify customers of their order status with the notifications
provided through this system via email and SMS text messages if a phone number is applied to
the customer account with permission to receive updates via SMS text message.

Cancellation Policy

All orders are electronically processed and forwarded to the warehouse immediately upon
confirmation of the order. Therefore, there is a very short time for order cancellations. If you
wish to cancel an order, you must do so BEFORE Order is processed. All orders placed from
Friday 5 PM EST to Monday 9 AM EST cannot be canceled, as these are processed over the
weekend for shipment.
