FixPart.ie

Reviews:

I originally had ordered this part from another website which gave me a delivery date of 3-5 business days. When that rolled around and still nothing had arrived I tried to follow up with them and the item was actually on back order for an estimated additional month. I cancelled that order and went to FixParts who had the exact item - ordered on a Monday and the part was here by Friday with ZERO hassle. Will never be using the other site for any items again.

Before ordering a part from FixPart, I checked that the model number of my device was compatible with the part on their website however when it arrived it did not fit as it was too small. I contacted Fixpart who sent me a label for returning it but told €18 would be deducted from my refund if I use it (or I could pay separately to send it back myself). I explained, and provided evidence that, in such cases where I didn’t change my mind about the purchase but the item was not as described on their website and therefore not fit for purpose, in accordance with my consumer rights I should not have to pay for the return. They then said I had not sufficiently proven that the model of the device I own is the incompatible model. However the proof they asked for is unreasonable since it does not exist – they want a photo of the device with the detailed model number. This number is not printed on the device. I sent the only possible proof, namely a photo of the device with a higher level over-arching model number, my proof of purchase with the detailed model number and a photo demonstrating that the part does not fit. I genuinely cannot understand why the company are refusing to honour my consumer rights in this matter at this point and it is very disappointing. This was a simple mistake on their website which could easily be resolved by them but for reasons I can’t understand it seems to be more important to them to unfairly claw some money for shipping from me than to resolve it honestly, to leave me with a good customer experience and prevent me feeling the need to warn others about my experience in this review. Since I know my consumer rights, I am now taking actions beyond this company to recover my money. In the meantime I hope this review helps to prevent others from getting caught like I did. There are plenty of decent, honest online retailers out there so I really encourage people to avoid this one.
