Hi,
Yes, point well-taken. The issue here is that since the 8x12 lathe is also a catalog/website only item and it seems that a store took the orders... So, I am wondering what if the "service" will apply to other items or did by chance the store make an error and will refund the money?
I guess we will find out soon in the continuing saga of "Will HF actually fulfill the order...?"
Take care,
DBN

Ahh yes thats correct some items are web only, the stores have no way
to order... Actually the local stores can't order anything from what
im told other than special order items, they just have to wait to see
what they are getting in.
There is usually a little book that has the items they can order in
it, or just give them part numbers and they can look it up.
There are a number of things that I'm ordering right now that are web
only purchases.

Hi,
The stores over here are closed now but I'll do the research for
the future.
I aksed if they carry the item (I was looking for a milling
machine 93885) and if not would they special order it...? The
responses (I tried two stores) paraphrased, the item is not in the
computer, we don't carry it and we can't order it.
That said, HF is starting to advertise where they will ship items
to stores for local pick up and maybe some of the more interesting
items might be made available. I only wish my local stores were a
bit more cooperative.
Take care and THANKS!

The north store in Austin, Texas
The guy kinda looked at it weird so I told him, that someone I knew
came there and bought one no problem. He said on hold on and went
to
talk to someone, he came back and rang it up no problem.
They get a commission off the extended service plan things so if
you
mention that you want one then maybe they will work harder to make
sure it rings up. He however had no problem ringing it up using the
coupon I gave him.
If I were you and the store isn't too far I would go up there and
just hand them the coupon and the paper you have to fill out. If
they
say anything mention that it is a store item and your buying it
from
the store but its just not there because its a special order... If
that fails maybe the extended service may convince... Think its
about
120 for 2 years or something like that. So that takes it back up to
the original sale price I think but you have the service...
No Idea if this will work but thats what I would do. Worth a shot.

Hi,
Most excellent - I just called my local HF store and they said
NO, quite clearly and without hesitation. I was looking for the
milling machine # 93885.
If you don't mind mentioning - which store let you make the
purchase?
Take care,

At the harbor freight I went to I was able to special
order the 8x12
at the store. They had this little stand with a few larger items
in
a
book and you just fill out a form and then ring it up at the
cashier
like a regular item. Doing this I was able to use the 30% coupon
on
the 8x12 lathe. They said it should take 7-10 days to arrive. I'm
looking forward to it. $385 + tax.

Hi David,
THANKS - I didn't get this one.
As for the 8x12 - sorry, that lathe is not sold in the stores -
only
on-line or via a catalog purchase. Well, at least that is what the
stores tell me and I checked all the ones in a 200+ radius of the
NYC
area. Do they sell it in the stores by you?
Again - THANKS!

Hi all,
I got a HF 30% off coupon that is good thru Monday. It is a
scan
of
a print coupon. I used it today at a Harbor Freight store in North
Austin, TX. It scanned and gave the 30% discount on a micro
mill/drill. They seemed to have no problem with it being a copy.
You can get it at the following web address:

The lady there also told me you can get rain checks on items and
have the coupon attached to the rain check if your particular
item
is
out of stock.
This is an in store coupon. Not an online coupon.
This could take the sting out of an 8x12 that is no longer on
sale!!!
