Frequently Asked Questions

Refunds

For almost 98% of the returns we receive, once the merchandise is received your refund would be issued within 10 business days. However, sometimes we need to talk to the manufacturer or to the customer to solve some complicated cases and therefore the refund takes a bit longer than normal ((around 20 days)).

Returns are processed once we have received the item. In the event that you have changed your mind, simply keep the part. No further action is required.

For all orders where the reason for the return is not the result of an error on our part, shipping back the product will be customer’s responsibility and a 15% restocking fee will be deducted from your refund. PartsAvatar does not reimburse the return shipping cost but only provides a prepaid return shipping label after the case analysis is completed and it turns out to be an error on our part. Also, if you refuse the delivery of the package or the carrier returns a package as a result of an invalid address, the total cost of shipping for both sides of transportation (for delivery and for back-return) will be deducted from your refund.

The money will be refunded to the original payment method within 2-7 business days for cancelled orders. For returned products, refunds will be processed within 7-10 business days in their original mode of payment. This may however take longer due to unforeseen circumstances during COVID.

When we send a refund, you will receive a confirmation email from us. Please contact us immediately by chat or by email at customerservice@partsavatar.ca if you haven’t received your confirmation email. If you have not received the refund after receiving our email, please contact your bank for any issues. Sometimes financial organizations take a longer time to process the refund request. We can definitely help you with any follow up details requested by your bank.

However if the processing of the order has already started, it cannot be cancelled. However, you can initiate a return, with the unopened package, once you receive the package.

Core

What is a core?
When a vehicle is repaired, the old part that was replaced is called a core.

What are cores used for?
Companies rebuild or recycle the used parts by completely dismantling, thoroughly cleaning the cores and replacing the faulty and/or worn elements. Cores are tested in the same manner and to the same standard as the original equipment. This process essentially restores the used or broken parts to their original function.

Why do we recycle cores?
Many parts are recycled or re-manufactured as they have the potential to save the end user hundreds of dollars. A typical gasoline fuel injector can cost $150-$300 or more easily. Meanwhile, a remanufactured fuel injector can cost only $49-$200, offering the customer huge savings.

Why should I return cores?
Returning cores allows for old parts to be re-manufactured and recycled. This helps save our environment by keeping approximately 54,000 tons of cores out of landfills annually! It also adds money back into your pocket.

In the auto parts industry, there are parts that can be recycled or re-manufactured and there are many parts which falls under this category. The customer must pay a core deposit at the time of purchase for specific items. After receiving their new part, the buyer send back their old part in the original manufacturer’s box of the purchased part. Once the core is returned to the us in its complete form and has been inspected to ensure it is rebuild-able and resellable, the core deposit taken initially is fully refunded to the customer.

After receiving their new part, the buyer send back their old part in the original manufacturer’s box of the purchased part. RMA (Return Merchandise Authorization) number is required to return a core. Any core returns made without a RMA number will be disregarded.

A core can be returned within 90 days of the original part delivery.

To receive a credit, a returned core must be complete and in it’s original unmarked manufacturer’s packaging of the purchased part. PartsAvatar is not responsible for any shipping costs or other expenses associated with returning the core.

Core returns are processed the same way as a regular return, please visit our Return Policy page..
