Harbor Freight Settlement...

I buy a lot there. I should have got in on this one.

But, hey, I did get 2 new free trailer tires!

I towed my utility trailer and camper all over on the "defective" tires. And then decided to do some accidental rock crawling with my camper and took a chunk out of the sidewall of one of them. Still got a new one free!

I just got one of those red toolboxes with the 20% off coupon
Are those the toolboxes ya’ll r talking about?

I got a lot of stuff there lately, a toolbox, a big ratchet, a doggy bed
They let me use the same 20% off coupon for all of them.
And free flashlights and tape measure with purchase. Im happy with them.

Lol

I doubt I've spent $50 at China Freight.

Get real and spare the dramatics. They made a mistake they're not going to make again, they paid what 30 million for this one time mistake? On a repeat annual revenue of billions? this isn't going to dent them. Anyone worried about price increases to pay for this would have a stroke if they knew what the prices would be on a trade war with China.

It's been a year, nothing's changed for me in terms of prices (I was just there last weekend). Even if the prices did go up, big deal, I don't shop there enough to care.

It will be paid in Chinese money. "Compare to $10 usd" only ¥6

This. And if I hadn't, I'd still take personal responsibility for those purchases.

As for paying attention to the 'comp at' or whatever prices, there's a phrase associated with PT Barnum for that one.......

Congrats to the lawyers for, as Danny DeVito would say, the 10 MILLLLION $$$$$$$.

Over paying for China tools, oh the Humanity !!

 

[wormwood1978]

Nothing yet in the mail for me. Nothing in my USPS informed delivery for today either. I'm expecting a rebate of over $100.

I missed this one but I got $108 from a dog food class action. I quit shopping at HF for a while. My local store has a real goon for a manager. He is just an arrogant smart alec jerk. The girls are nice though.

I was too lazy to put it all together, you snooze you lose I guess.

I hope this doesn't mean the end to seven sales per week

and a dozen or more emails from them in my spam folder

It's easier to write a business plan than to execute a business plan, even a GOOB plan.

Not likely. Item on latest "Red Tag Sale" in inbox has a "Super Coupon" for the HF Rotating Magnetic LED Worklight for $4.99, lowest price for it I've seen. I'll likely grab one and a free item with a coupon. Haven't decided on the free item yet. Light coupon also in latest mailed monthly flyer too.

But, what really let's me know I'm getting a SUPER deal, a must purchase, is the Super Coupon says, Compare to Snap On at $58.50. Wow, now that's a deal.

I'm at harbor freight at least once a week. I only make purchases with the 20% and free item coupons. My store doesn't let use use multiple coupons of one type per transaction or even apply the 20% to more than one item so I usually buy one item at a time.
I've got about 10 magnetic parts holders, very useful item. 5 or 6 reversible screwdrivers, a bag full of microfiber cloths. A bunch of led lights. Having said that I've always been skeptical of their sale prices and coupons. Are you really getting a better deal (quality not factored)? Sometimes not. It recently dawned on me after a few purchases that brake cleaner can be found cheaper on Amazon, even after a coupon. You gotta watch out for the "super coupon" too. Sometimes you're better off actually using a 20 coupon.
Their extended warranty policy sucks though. Warranty exhausts if you use it and you have to buy another one on your new item.

I got in on the Briggs & Stratton "not making rated HP" class action a few years ago. Best part was it was based on serial numbers of engines I "owned", despite my picking them up for free here and there.

Got a notice for some class action against Pella Windows, but my house did have the right (or wronged...) model installed, it was only for casement type I think.
