Q: What is PayPal?

PayPal is a payment method for online purchases enabling buyers and businesses to send and receive money online. As of today, PayPal has over 100 million member accounts in 190 countries and regions.

You may contact PayPal customer service by calling 1-800-227-8749 or go to https://www.paypal.com for support and additional information.

Customers who sign up for a PayPal account must sign a Billing Agreement which will authorize the merchant to take out their payments directly from their PayPal account. Only then can the customer be able to control how to pay for their purchases. For detailed information, customers can contact PayPal customer service by calling 1-800-227-8749.

Q: How do I use a Paypal payment option?

Regrettably, our pre-paid labels do not cover the price for international returns. To use our pre-paid labels, shipments must be sent from the United States.

Q: How long does it take for me to get a refund?

It may take 4-5 business days for your return to reach the CARTRIX Fulfillment Centers. Once it is received and inspected (usually within 72 hours of receipt) your refund will be processed and automatically applied to your credit card or original method of payment within 2 days. Please note that depending on your credit card company, it may take an additional 2-10 business days after your credit is applied for it to post to your account.

Q: I just printed out my USPS return label and it has two barcodes on it, is this the correct label?

CARTRIX.com has changed the USPS return labels to include a UPS tracking number and bar code as well. This is known as a "Flex Label." When you generate a USPS label, you will see two barcodes so that the you have the option to return via USPS or UPS.

Both barcodes are needed on the label, so please do not alter the label in any way. The reason both barcodes are needed is because when the package is dropped off at USPS, UPS will then pick up the package from USPS and deliver it to the CARTRIX Fulfillment Centers.

If you misplace your USPS Flex label, please contact the CARTRIX Customer Loyalty Team at 1-800-227-8749 for assistance in attaining a new Flex Label.

Details of how to file these returns may be found at the websites of your respective taxing authorities.

This law is currently the subject of a legal challenge brought by the Direct Marketing Association and others. In the meantime, the U.S. District Court has suspended enactment of the law while the legal challenge proceeds.

Q: Restocking Fees

CARTRIX.com does not charge a restocking fee for returning most items. However, for some items, a restocking fee applies.

A 15% restocking fee also applies to the following:

  • Shipments returned without a proper Return Authorization Number (RA#) clearly posted on the box.
  • Orders placed for the incorrect model year of your vehicle
    Because manufacturers are constantly changing vehicle designs, we do not guarantee an older part will fit a newer vehicle and vice versa. Ordering a product not specifically designed for your vehicle (for example, a 2006 model car cover ordered for a 2007 vehicle) is done at your own risk and will incur a restocking fee if returned.
