Shipping from Harbor Freight ? ??

[Banker Billy]

Hello folks,

Ordered a 12 ton press from Harbor Freight about 14 days ago. Any idea on when I should expect this to be delivered ? ?

Have a couple of kits that are crying out "Build me - - -build me ! ! " and was hoping to have it for the weekend.

Thanks ! !

Not sure on large orders like that, but were you aware they have an outlet store over in Parma where you could just pick it up and save yourself the shipping?

Hello Antares,

Ohfal told me about the store in Parma, but I had already ordered the press. Shipping is "free" if you're order is $100 or more, so free shipping on the press. But . . . the question is: how much is the press at the store vs. the catalog ? ? ?

Anyway, got home tonight and Wifey says I received a package in the mail today "and man-o-man, is it heavy ! ! . Took two guys at the post office to get it in the truck of my car ! !".

What ?!?!?!?

Well . . . . believe it or not, HF shipped the press, in two boxes, to my post office box ! ! I even gave them my street address for shipping ! ! !

Anyway, in no time at all the press was setting in the corner of my little workshop waiting for its' first mission. It was soooooo easy ! ! Barrel pin first, then the barrel out of the trunnion. Just to easy ! !

Will have to make a trip to Parma to see what else I need.

Think I'll need a bigger workshop too.

Will they have one at the Poor House I can use ?!?!?!?

haha ... post office box?! LOL

I went to the store in Parma and picked up my 20ton for $165. It took half an hour of aggrivation with the completely clueless people that work there to get it but it sure beat having to wait ;)
