Wrong Product & Poor after sales service
Edit: Wrong product appears to be an issue with the parts register and not this company.
I've been provided a phone apology and refund. As such rating has been amended from 1 to 3 stars.
_____________
Wrong Product.
I purchased parts for my car based on the website advice which indicated they were the correct part for my vehicle. My mechanic advised they are not the correct size.
Non existent after sales service.
I've tried to contact Sparesbox via email, online form, phone and chat with no success. The email and online form received no reply. Phone uses the excuse they can't answer the phone because of COVID, that's hardly a valid excuse, ever other business can still answer phones. The phone also says to use the online chat, however the online chat always says "Sorry, we are not online at the moment".
I'm shocked and disappointed in this company.

Surprisingly fast delivery
I ordered some Eibach suspension springs on 4th March, there was a notice that it could be delayed and may take 15-30 business days before being shipped. But I wasn't in any great hurry, and the price was discounted (lowest I could find online) with free shipping. Only afterwards did I decide to look at reviews for Sparesbox... many many 1 stars, orders taking forever or eventually refunded, been given the wrong item etc. I was a bit concerned, maybe I should've ordered from another supplier?
To my surprise and delight, I got an email on the 10th March (6 days later) that my order had been shipped. I was expecting at least a month based on the reviews. Sure enough, I picked it up from the post office a couple of days ago. The correct item had been shipped exactly as ordered, packaging a little worse for wear but no damage to the item.
So I'm guessing they already had my item in stock and wasn't back-ordered, which seems to be the main issue with delays. My experience was surprisingly good, no complaints with the delivery time and discounted price.

The worst company in auto parts
Ordered a tool trolley over 5 weeks ago and for over a month it has been "being prepared for shipment". I contacted the only customer service option they have and was told "I can confirm that your ordered items are now fully reserved for you at our warehouse, and we expect your order to be packed and prepared for dispatch shortly."
This was 10 days ago and it still says "being prepared for shipment"...
Last time I ordered through these muppets they took 8 weeks to deliver me brake rotors and claimed they werent in stock, despite advertising them as being in stock throughout the entire 8 weeks.
Dont bother with Sparesbox ever.... ever!
EDIT: Now over 9 weeks and still "being prepared for shipment" after being told it was ready to be sent...

I purchased a starter motor for my car which their site would fit. It has completely different mountings. I have tried to phone but they do not answer I have also sent emails with no response. It seems like a lot of people are in the same situation. If I don't get a response I will go to their warehouse and demand a refund.

appalling service
I purchased a bike rack that does not fit my vehicle.
What is unacceptable is the 10 emails I've sent without a reply, the service is terrible and as a result im sitting on $350 worth of goods which i can't use or return (as they will not reply) I have also phoned which never gets answered. The packaging is unopened and in as received condition and a photo has been sent with numerous emails

I hope you can accept my sincere apology for the delay in responding to your emails and the frustration this has caused. I understand the importance of prompt communication and take full responsibility for falling short in this instance. Rest assured, I have investigated and resolved the root cause of why your emails were not coming through to our Customer Experience Team to ensure this does not happen again in the future.
I want to thank you for giving me the opportunity to speak with you today and to work towards resolving the problem with the bike carrier. You should have received my email confirming that we've booked a courier to return the bike carrier to us, the refund has already been processed, and I've provided some details regarding the replacement bike carrier to consider.
I apologise for any inconvenience caused and thank you for bringing this matter to my attention. Please reach out to me if you have any questions or concerns.

Extremely Poor Customer Service
Ordered parts "In Stock" on 19/2/23 they didn't arrive after the 8 days delivery time shown online. After multiple emails with no response Sparesbox finally replied on 2/3/23 to say parts are not in stock and some fluff about software problems on their system. How about you stop taking orders if your software doesn't work? Parts not Due till 15/3/23 at their warehouse. Refund was offered but after requesting a refund once again no response from Sparesbox!

Is the company still trading?
Is the company still trading? their contact phone line is down & chat line doesn't work. I had brake parts delivered over two weeks ago, which proved to be incorrect. Since then have tried to contact. Sent emails with photos - no response. I will no longer be dealing with on line companies as a result YOU NEED TO DEAL FACE TO FACE!

Anyone would have been frustrated with not only receiving brake pads that do not fit your vehicle but also with the delay in response to your emails requesting help resolving that issue. I hope you can accept my most sincere apologies that this has been your experience.
I have responded to your email to us and have acted with an immediate resolution to the issue. Please reply to that email if there is anything else I can do to help.

Customer service is non existant!
Like a previous reviewer, ordered a pair of brake rotors on Feb 15th, it’s now the 2nd March and hasn’t even been dispatched. Sent half the order (brake pads) which is essentially useless without the rotors.
Sent multiple emails and no response, so now awaiting a generic response via email or here (if I'm lucky!) which doesn't address the issue or give any meaningful information or update. Apologies don't constitute customer service!! It's really quite pathetic to be honest.

Poor Customer Service
My order finally arrived on10/03/23 in tact and the exact items :)
I placed my order on the 7/02/23 and I have sent Sparesbox multiple emails with only a generic reply.
My order still has not arrived?
I am disappointed with the customer service.
This is my first time placing an order with Sparesbox .

Slow dispatch, no communication
Ordered a pair of brake rotors on February 19th, it’s now the 28th and hasn’t even been dispatched. Multiple emails and no reply, tried calling and says because of Covid restrictions aren’t taking calls… still hiding under the Covid banner
I should of read the reviews before ordering!!!
I need the parts by March 17th and I’m very worried…
