Yesterday, I used a Harbor Freight 20% off coupon on a Honda HRX217HYA at Home Depot...spent just under $560 for it.....have to believe they broke even at best on it....

That is excellent, since Home Depot's price is already $100 under MSRP. I didn't know that Harbor Freight coupons are good at Home Depot. Good to know. :thumbsup::smile:

If it sounds too good to be true.......

....then it probably is not true.

In post #20 I described what seemed to be an incredible deal on a battery powered pole saw, which was supposedly selling for about half the cost of the battery alone. I had placed the order with this online merchant along with another order for a battery powered chain saw that was an equally great deal. Last Friday I received an email that both orders had shipped and yesterday the charges appeared on my bank account statement. Curiously, though, no tracking numbers were provided for the shipments.

Well, guess what ? Today, I received two emails informing me that a mistake had been made and that the orders had not been shipped. In fact, neither item was ever in stock nor will they ever be, and the shipping notifications were in error. So, my orders have been cancelled with no rain checks for future purchase at the same great prices and refunds will be issued to my bank account. Of course in the meantime, my bank account has been fraudulently debited those amounts for the false shipments and the balance reduced until the refund is issued. I wonder how many other customers have been hoodwinked by this scammer.

mower mike, I buy stuff online and have been singed a few times. most recently an E coast co with a jolly web site took my order and NOTHING for 3 weeks...no email no tel con ,nothing.

I use c cards so I sicked discover on to the problem. I was told to wait 1 month. At day 29 the shipment arrived and ok. A week later the vendor called and sobbed his account had been backcharged, for no reason. I told him to deal with the card co.

You should have a bank safety clause?? Anyway I stay with ebay (they will fight for you if you're right) or credit card co. I have about 2-3 hassles per year. Never completly burned. Usually wrong part or sub par.

That is unfortunate! I'm sorry that happened to you! :frown:
