Don't buy from harborfreight on-line. They will take your order and
never ship your product.

I waited two weeks, and my drill press hadn't shown up. No feedback
from HF, but after contacting them because it wasn't on my doorstep
yet led to my discovery that they didn't have any stock, that it was
on backorder.

They tried to put the order through two weeks later, assuming I still
wanted the thing, but thank goodness I used the virtual credit card
feature and the time limit had expired, so they were prevented from
processing the order.

Their customer support chat line sucks, to put it bluntly. You have
to wait an indeterminant amount of time, you have to keep watching the
chat window (like you have nothing else to do).

Buying from harbor freight on-line is just a bad experience.

Where your credit card company issues you a special number that is
limited. Limits include such as one-use, limited time, limited amount,
single payee, etc.
