I didnt know there were so many SEX offenders, I was watching the news and given a site to check out, and just in two towns, there are over 120 convicted sex offenders living here.. there are 400,000 convicted sexual offenders in the US, wonder how many are not reported??

You ain't gonna believe the shipping charge. $6.99, that's right, six dollars and ninety nine cents. The sales tax was more than shipping at $9.08. Even if it ships out of the Topeka store, which it probably will, I expected shipping to be in the $25+ range for something that heavy.
I ordered a 6 ton hydraulic pipe/tube bender from Harbor Freight along with a small exhaust tube expander and the shipping weight is 84#.

Truly makes you wonder how they ship that cheaply. I found a knife in an auction that I wanted and placed a bid and then noticed the shipping and insurance was twenty bucks on a knife selling for less than fifty bucks.
I'm tickled pink someone overbid me on the knife.
even the USPS smallest flat rate box is 5.80 to ship it ,
Fewer main legs, more secondary legs, and even greater local legs.
Main legs go the farthest, Secondary from hubs to local distribution, and local to y our home.
Harbor Freight is the distribution arm of primarily Chinese made goods, here in the USA.
Encountered this yesterday. Email 30% off,, went to site (Mfg) and thought if this is about $20 bucks I'll buy it. Bad news at the end just before pushing the PURCHASE BUTTON, the final cost included $6 shipping or $26.00,,,Nope too much and HIT THE BACK BUTTON,,
this is the new part,, The sign,, you usually see DO YOU WANT TO LEAVE THIS PAGE ? came up but instead said IF YOU BUY THIS NOW YOU WILL GET FREE SHIPPING.
Ha,, bought the item. truly 30% off and FREE SHIPPING.
It costs them almost the same to ship it from China to a store compared to shipping from china to your address.
The price you pay at the store has shipping included as part of business expenses.
So think of it this way... You went to their store, paid the asking price and then said here's $6.99 more.[:0]
