They have been having problems shipping them,
packaging getting destroyed and parts missing.

I dare say old chap, did someone suggest my wheels had parts missing? LOL!!

Some of the heavy stuff from Harbor Freights (like my shop crane and engine stand) had packaging that was literally falling off the parts when they arrived. Luckily, nothing was missing from the shipments. They really should package their stuff better.

They have an store down here, may hafta stop and see if they stock them.

some items they only ship, ya can't get them at the store, which makes absolutely no sense to me :?

It's my understanding that the wheel and the planishing hammer are only available by order. My planishing hammer arrived today. I opened the box but haven't assembled it yet. It's box had reinforcements on the corners. The wheel has made it back to California for the 2nd time. Maybe in a week I might get it in one piece.

It makes good sense from the vendors' points of view!

....'Ya got 2 hot dogs left, so you buy another pack of buns. ....So then ya got 6 buns left, so you buy another package of dogs. .....So then ya got 4 dogs left, so you buy another pack of buns.

The cycle keeps repeating until you've purchased 4 packages of dogs (40) and 5 packages of buns (40).

By then, you don't want to see another *' hot dog for another two years, but your cardiologist LOVES you!

Actually eating hot dogs doesn't make a lot of sense either;

but that hasn't stopped me yet.

The 2nd freight damaged unit has been at their location for a week. This morning, I see that they refunded my money. I guess that means that I won't be getting one afterall. I don't know if they did me a favor or I should feel sad.
