Harbor Freight Tools gave my credit card number without my approval!

Almost six months ago I received a notice in the mail from Harbor Freight indicating that I had accumulated bonus points and was being offered “free” magazine subscriptions as a means to redeem those points. Being “free” I decided to take advantage of the offer. This service is apparently handled by a NSS Subscription Service in Stamford, CT. I did not give NSS my credit card number, yet since September 2006 a credit card that I had previously used for on-line orders with Harbor Freight was charged $7.97 for each magazine subscription and, in at least two cases, I was charged twice for the same magazine subscription. I did not knowingly agree to any of this. Within the past week they hit me for another $42. I have no idea what that charge is for. I have opened a dispute with my credit card company, but I may not be able to get all of the money back. I am extremely upset with Harbor Freight that they gave my credit card number to this subscription company without my approval and that they engage in scams such as this.

I have a farming operation and have been a customer of Harbor Freight for many years. I have bought lots of expensive equipment and tools from them via the Internet, mail, and, especially, from one of their regional warehouses. However, now that I can no longer trust Harbor Freight with my credit card number and because I do not like being scammed by anyone (e.g., "free" magazine subscriptions), they have lost me as a customer. There are more than enough alternatives out here (e.g., Northern Tools). Be careful who you do business with!

The employees are having a very strong aroma of Marijuana emulating from the lounge in the rear of the building. It has been confirmed by multiple people that 98% of the employees are drug users, yet none have been tested

This heater has been out of stock at every store close to me, close to friends of mine and now it is on sale, I have a coupon for $10 off and still cannot get this heater or a rain-check. If it is out of stock, why is it being pushed by a sale, and discount for inside track club members and now with a 15% off for inside track club members?

i was charged $27 restocking fee for a $149 compressor that was less than 22 hours old.

I purchased this one to exchange the first one that did not work either. This one was supposed to be an upgraded version but it would not even come on.

the units are great. the fact that no replacement covers are available has me a bit bewildered. WHY NOT? It would be cheaper to ship replacement tarps or covers then you have to ship all that metal. Not happy.

Hi Sir. / Madam,
I had very bad experience with Mark at 12:31:53pm on 5/18/2018.
The Supervisor Mark made a mistake to charge me a item (only cost $2.39), which he should take off from register, but made me to wait the line to get a refund. So I had to wait 15 more minutes to get $2.56 (after tax)!
