Basically, 10% back on eveyrthing you spent at Horrible Freight from 2011 to 2016. You don't even need receipts- just copies of your credit/ debit card statements showing the purchase.

Do it by 8/7!

Oh man I've spent a lot there, and have the receipts but not exactly a great cause for the suit in the first place. I think I like hft too much to do it too.

Anyway they give 20% off on just about everything anyway

In reply to Jere:

The way I understand these things to work, they have a big pool of money, and the claims are paid out of it. Any money left over doesn't go back to HF, necessarily.

So, I guess what I'm saying is, file a claim, and then go back and blow it all on a left-handed pneumatic nail puller at HF if you need to settle your conscience.

I have purchased a bunch of stuff from HF during the settlement period, BUT I am not sure I am comfortable submitting CC statements to substantiate the claim when there is potentially so much personal information involved. That is more documentation than is typically necessary for these settlements. I guess I have this weekend to see if I can find some receipts (doubtful).

I bought what I bought at a price I thought was fair. I'm not going to go back and try to grab some extra money out of HF just because I could.

We had this discussion a month or two ago. Again, Harbor Freight owes me nothing. Everything I have bought from them (and that's quite a bit) has been worth what I paid for it. Some of it has been worth more. I refuse to be part of some scumbag lawyer's scheme to rip off HF. Sure, this one made out, but if everyone would just refuse to play, these rip-off lawsuits would go away.

Nope I want no part of this one. The settlement is for someone that is/was an idiot. I will not be associated with people that are not smart enough to read a HF add.

I would donate to a fund for the prevention of stupid lawsuits.

If anything, I probably owe HF money.

I submitted CC receipts with all my personal info blotted out. Easy to do with an editor, then print as a pdf to submit. All the rest of the submittal required was anything a typical mail-in rebate would require.

And I hear all the rest of you on your moral oppositions. Honestly, though, I don't think participating/ not participating means anything either way. Like I said, the money's there.

What a stupid lawsuit. Harbor Freight doesn't owe me money because they said something was on sale that hadn't been at the regular price in the last 28 days. If you want/like something and think its a good price buy it. Otherwise don't. In the end a bunch of scumbag lawyers collect a bunch of money.

Maybe we should put together a fund and sue the lawyers for restriction of free trade.

Raping a company because you can, whether or not you personally were damaged by said company is a personal decision we all have to make. I don't think that HF will go under because of it but I've seen other small businesses driven out of business by similar nuisance lawsuits. Feed the pig.

They just opened in my town. I'm already on a first name basis with the cashiers. I'm out of this.

Their jacks are so cheap and amazing. Their sales plus military discount gets me out the door pretty cheaply. I've been making off like a thief
