I now know how Rock Auto treats botched orders

I never thought I would be writing this about Rock Auto. I have been a customer for years and have never had a problem with orders, or their condition. Boy, now I have and they treat you like they did nothing wrong, with a smile on their face. I ordered A pair of rotors with pads in prep for the July 4th travel. Received a call letting me know the order inadvertently shipped with only one rotor because they did not have the other. Was told to just put in a second order and then return the first to be credited to my account. I said well that is a bit steep but if that is my only choice okay. Well the second order of two rotors came in on today Friday, and guess what, only one rotor!!! I called them again and was told they did not know how that happened again, but they only had the one that was shipped. If I wanted to get these on before the 4th, I would have to order another set and return the other two botched orders before being credited to my account. There was no offer of anything, not even free shipping this time. I am not made of money, maybe you other customers are. I am now over $200.00 out of pocket and they want $200.00+ for another set of rotors. I am so upset that I am writing this review. I never write negative reviews. If this is what I can expect from: Sandra Taylor, Vice President Customer Service, Tom Taylor, Vice President Marketing and Jim Taylor, President, then yes my last dealings with Rock Auto will be to return these botched orders and take my business elsewhere. Great company when all goes well, but the worst when they mess up, even mess up twice !!! I hope this is published so other customers can know to expect no satisfaction when their orders are messed up other than to keep digging in their pockets with the hope they get the next one right. Bye for good Rock Auto!!!

We sincerely regret the problems this reviewer had with his order. When we make mistakes, we take full responsibility for the error and do our best to rectify the situation. In this reviewer's first order, one of the rotors that he ordered was out-of-stock. Since the complementary second rotor had already been shipped, we offered a return for a full refund on this second rotor, including a pre-paid label for return shipping, so that he could place a new order for a matching set.
The customer is correct that our customer service representative incorrectly placed his second order for a quantity of only 1 rotor, not 2 as he needed. We have reviewed the situation with this representative to prevent similar problems on future orders. Contrary to what the reviewer states, though, we have offered a full refund on this second order, including another pre-paid FedEx shipping label to be used on the return, so that he doesn't have to pay for return shipping. Once this customer has returned the parts to us, we will be more than happy to refund him in full, including the cost of original shipping on the rotors.
