“Went to buy a air conditioner and set my wallet down in the store and I believe the manager picked it up and put it on the desk in the main front office. Great store and good people that work there.”
“looking for a couple of items needed to tweak my large advents. researched online first (pro tip!) found the locations, went to the store and there they were, and cheap. nice job, harbor freight. questions: what is the impact on american jobs and manufacturing? not a minor consideration in this day and age.”
“The people who work here are great and are as helpful as can be. So that's great. I give the store 5 stars. The third party delivery they used for my generator is a Big fat Joke. ACT Transportation are incompetent. My generator sat in a warehouse less than 10 miles from my house for 5 days before delivery. I was told they were short handed and since another storm was possible that night that I could come and pick it up myself as a solution made by the supervisor Tiffany like everyone has a flatbed truck to pickup a 200 plus lbs generator. So that's not a solution that's a delivery and a payment made to a company who would've never fulfilled the delivery. So my opinion to Home depot is to break ties with this company who carries a 2.8 review rating ACT AAA COOPER TRANSPORTATION. Thank you for your consideration of my comment.”
