My sister bought me a vise for Christmas from Harbor Freight. She bought it in person in Pennsylvania, I live in New York. She didn't really understand what I was looking for or my intentions for the vise and bought me the 6 inch cross slide vise. The kind that you usually see mounted to a drill press.
So yesterday I tried to exchange it. The clerk told me to go get what I wanted and bring it back to the register. So I picked out the 6 inch swivel vise with an anvil and brought it up front. Another clerk then told me that Harbor Freight only does returns with a receipt. I can understand that they are trying to combat theft but I have never heard of a store doing this at Christmas time. The box has not been opened and even has a bar code sticker that proves it came from the Harbor Freight in Reading, PA.
Sucks because I was kind of excited when this store opened just a couple of month's ago. Now I will never shop there.
