Harbor Freight return policy

Long story short I was visiting my nephew in a different town about 70 miles away. They needed a pole saw to trim the branches on their tree so we stopped off at their local Harbor Freight. Needless to say I had to buy some stuff like a aluminum jack, some stands and misc items. That was about a weekend ago. Today I opened the jack stand to use it and the bottom wheel was already busted off. Stupid me for not opening the box at the store. Regardless I was wondering if anyone had bought an item at one store and had the receipt for it but doesn't want to drive 70 miles to exchange the item when my local store is 15 min away. Do you think they will do the exchange or refund at my store when I bought it at a different store?

 

Any store will do, to my knowledge

 

Should be good at any store as long as you have the receipt

 

Ok they aren't open yet so when they do I'll try. Pray for me.

 

In my experience it doesn't matter which HF you buy it at. I have two close to me (camarillo and Simi Valley) and I've exchanged stuff at one that I bought at the other. Especially if you bought the extended warranty for something because then you're in the computer system. Otherwise, just don't bring up the fact that you bought it somewhere else on your own...they usually don't ask too many questions, especially if it's clear that it's just defective/poor craftsmanship.
