Fri, May 28, 2004, 11:53pm (EDT-1) snipped-for-privacy@hiwaay.net (Hoyt=A0Weathers) puts out: Today I received in the mail their "acknowledgement" (their misspelling - not mine).
Damn, now I've got to find a link to a new on-line dictionary, because the one I use spelled it the same way.
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.
You should have ordered a couple more things then. This came directly off their site: SHIPPING INFORMATION
- (a) Quoted prices include FREE SHIPPING if the order is .00 or more, and being shipped within the contiguous United States.
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.
I've seen places that charge more. I won't mail order from them any more either. Because there's now a store 15 or so miles from me.
