Re: Harborfreight experience

Sir, totoo ba na madaming china-made yung HF tools since nag-ooperate din sila sa China?

The most important thing for Harbor Freight purchases are the in store discount coupons. Just don't know if they have online coupons too.

Re: Harborfreight experience

5% is when they shop something for you. You can drop ship to them. Just pay the BBox.

Please do let us know if you find a way how to do that.

Yes, we've been doing that with Amazon and other sellers. But where's the part where you place the orders from HF? That's our point of interest.

Re: Harborfreight experience

Yes I goggle search yesterday Jhonny air cargo as per suggestion from f&s and pyth, it seems they do quite good transactions and the local buyer can have his/her merchandise in a few days time or couple of weeks only. Maybe I will try this one soon and really find out how good and fast their services are, I just hope everything goes well.

Re: Harborfreight experience

johnny air is very fast and reliable it takes only at least 5-7days for your package to arrive from their office in the us to the phil. althought they would cause an arm if you would purchase bulky things

Re: Harborfreight experience

Wow, how bulky is bulky, even ba one item only ? HMMMM, thanks for the tip, spot10 !!!

Re: Harborfreight experience

to get a rough idea sir rosy ive shipped my kreg k4 to them and it cost around P1300 for the shipment alone and i saw someone shipped a i think a 50-60 inch flat screen tv/PC forgot the exact size but they said it cost around 27k for the shipment since they compute by volumetric and irregular object cost higher.. o ive also shipped a 6ft fishing rod before and it cost 3k also an irregular shaped item

Re: Harborfreight experience

OK bro spot10, what could be considered as a regular box, is it very similar to a balik bayan box or still something squarish, or maybe a little bit rectangular. I am not obliging you to really know but maybe you could give an idea since you have been a customer of them probably for quite sometime, just for the sake of information so that others may have some ideas too if ever they do transact business with them.

Like me, if ever I transact with them, it will be the first time and at least I have a rough idea how I will be charged for shipping.

Thanks again in Advance !! :thanks: 😉

Re: Harborfreight experience

sorry sir ive only been shipping fishing stuff and its not that big and heavy so in regards to a balikbayan box havent got a clue better call them for exact pricing
but a box is a normal shape so it all depends on the weight.. again im not really sure since
i only ship small items

Not really my good friend, no early X'mas tool shopping, just exploring several option on possible services I may use for next years purchase. "Wan ti kuarta" pa pang shopping, ipon at ipon pa rin, though I have talked already to a friend how I will be able to make my purchase come to a reality.
Secret na lang muna yon, baka maudlot dream equipment ko, hehehe, LOL 😀
