Default Rant - Harbor Freight

Hoyt Weathers wrote in
:

My very first order to them was for their Dovetail Machine for $29.99
plus shipping. Today I received in the mail their "acknowledgement"
(their misspelling - not mine). That showed the price of the article,
tax of $0, Freight of $4.95 and Handling of $5.95 . It is my view that
*handling* is an internal labor cost of Harbor Freight, just part of
doing business, and should be part of their overhead and built into
their prices. Because of this absurdity, I will never again order
anything from Harbor Freight. They burned me once. They will get no
other chance. Bank on it.

Actually you will get burned again - when the order arrives. )

And maybe burned a third time when you have to pay return shipping. )

I *never* nuy anything from Harbor Fright that I can't see, touch, and
smell in person. That said, their 4 inch angle grinder for $15-18
(depending on phase o' the moon) is a good deal. Fortunately I have a
store nearby, so I get to dry test the stuff right there. Saw a guy last
week taking apart a bench top planer - flick of the fingernail on the
case told the whole tale - cheap chinois knockoff.
