Is MileOneParts.com a scam?

jmhumr · 03-06-2018, 11:49 AM

I accidentally purchased a BMW accessory there because their website was not working well and now I’m worried they’re a scam. Tried to cancel but no phone numbers and no emails listed on the site, just a lame website form. Also learned through my mistake that they don’t provide shipping costs until AFTER you place an order, which is super sketchy.

Feeling like I stumbled into a trap here, should I be worried? Does anyone have any experience with them?

They are based out of BMW of Silver Spring I believe. Call there and ask for Jason. I have bought a bunch of stuff from their parts dept and never had any issues.

That's a shitty looking site though... I think my cursor just got the AIDS!

I believe you're confusing this place with getbmwparts.com (formerly Tischer BMW).

MileOne bought all the assets of Tischer and Getbmwparts is run out of BMW Silver Spring which is a MileOne company. My guess is the two get parts all from the same place. Now I could be wrong but it would be worth a phone call to the dealer to find out.

I think you're right. This link has "getBMWparts.com Specials" listed.

OP should be good to go.

Even if I couldn’t cancel the order, it has been “processing” since last Friday, which is completely unacceptable.

Still no luck, but I’m gonna give mileoneparts.com a firm AVOID rating regardless of the outcome.
