I bought stuff from HF and - when taking into account what I'm buying and
how much I'm paying for it - have generally been pleased.

I have to comment that it is truly astounding how much mail I get from them.
It seems that more days than not, I'll get a catalog or a flyer or
something.... I can't believe that they don't mail away all their profits.
I know there must be marketing numbers that justify this tactic, but I
figure that a catalog's got to be good for a couple of weeks, at least. I
get at least a couple a week. Amazing.

After hearing about Harbor Freight in this newsgroup, I authorized them
to email me their catalog and sales literature.

As it turned out I wasn't really interested in the quality of
mechandize that they were selling, but their email advertisements
continued to arrive at the rate of 2 or 3 each week.

This went on for about 3 months. Last week I sent them an email reply
with the words REMOVE as the subject. Believe it or not, they
immediately took me off their mailing list.

A firm with ethics like this deserves special reconition! While I can't
get into the products that they sell, I really have to respect their
business ethics, and now feel almost obligated to buy something from
them, not because I want the product, buy just to show them my respect.
