I have had the pleasure of going to Harbor Freight several times over the last month - to find items for my apartment that I've needed. I'm definitely not the most handy guy, but let me tell you - every person I've interacted with at Harbor Freight is super patient, helpful, and hard working. I have found their customer service to be some of the best service in Bellingham - even compared to some restaurants. If you tell them what you're looking for, they will be real with you and get you what you need. read more

High prices for very cheap tools and products, , I purchased zip ties that were £50 tinsel strength. They're more like a pound and a half tinsel strength. , Waste of money waste of time ! read more

For a DIY person, this is like a candy store. Parking is available in the nice large strip mall parking lot. While they also sell online, being able to see and play with all of the tools from the website is just awesome. I was almost giggling while walking the aisles. Staff were helpful, and were very personable. With their assistance, I was able to find almost everything I was looking for. Yes the tools are ridiculously cheap, and yes the quality isn't up there with the likes of Snap-on or Milwaukee, but in terms of bang for your buck, this place blows almost any other store I know of out of the water. Some people have had bad experiences with some of their tools, but I think it's honestly bad luck. The reason I keep coming back here is because I feel their tools are pretty solid. I wish they would open up a location or two in Canadaland. read more

I like shopping here. Well this is the first time, I visit this store. I have bought things from Harbor Freight Tools and its always purchased online. They have pretty awesome deals like buy anything and get a free gift or coupons like 20% off. My first purchase from Harbor Freight Tools is a slump pump and I used the 20% coupon. Of course the purchase was made back in 2014 and so the exchange rate was pretty good back then. So today, I came here to buy garden supplies. Well we came and bought a garden hose sprayer. We got a pretty good deal. For about $5, the garden hose sprayer has like 7 water spray type. As well with this purchase we also got a free pack of batteries. I think shopping at Harbor Freight Tools is a good way to save. I like this store. Not to mention their staff are very friendly. read more

Went in looking for a specific tool. The two guys at the front told me it was in the back corner of the store. I went and couldn't find it. Came back to the front and asked again. They sent me all the way to the back again. Still couldn't find it. Finally gave up. They didn't have any customers btw, they were just shooting the stuff. So yeah, if you need help this isn't the place to go. read more

Cheap Chinese junk tools and rude cashier staff ... Complaining about her coworkers schedule, I was nice and said thank you after purchase and the cashier couldn't even muster a facial or verbal response. Retailer reminder: You should thank people for your purchase, not the other way around. read more

This place is located off of Sunset Dr. near I5 highway. They offer a reasonable selection of tools and service there is fast. The best part of this shop is that they offer good bargains from the coupons they mail out. Every week, there seems to be a promotion of select free items with any purchase. read more

I feel fortunate that there is a harbor freight in Bellingham I don't buy all my stuff there but if I don't need the best (tweezers for electronic work or an accessory kit for my rotary tool for example) then they are my go to store and of course never buy anything without using your 20% off coupon and a coupon for a free gift ! read more

Great place to come if you don't want to spend a lot of money but you still need the right tool for the job. I also get all my gardening and work gloves here - their prices are 1/3rd what they charge at other places. Ask to get on their mailing list so you can receive their flyers/coupons. read more

If you want REALLY cheap stuff from China...this is your place. Bear in mind, this is not a complete hardware store...if you need specific parts...this may not be the place to go. Harbor Freight seems good for very specific things, I bought a bumper hitch, the plastic greenhouse seemed like a good deal, and there is always 20% of one item. But seriously, I am not a tool guy, I'm not that handy, but Harbor Freight fills a niche....super cheap parts, if they have what you need, Stop by, it's fun and different, though I am not sure it if will have what you are looking for! read more

Poor signage for a first time visit, cashier staff very interesting - job done and all upsell procedures completed however no one needed to be standing there.....weird You need a cheap one off tool perfect - if you are looking for quality tools not here but thats ok as they are not meant for that purpose... All sorts of a mix of other things - great spot for cheap pricing on farm/trailer/hydraulic stuff... This one is a bit smaller store compared to the others I've been too. read more

Was in today with my mom and dad. Mom had bought a tile saw as a Christmas gift. Dad had circled the one he was interested in in the ad, but only the display model was there. Mom tracked down a salesperson and asked if they had more in stock. The sales person pointed to the more expensive model and told her it was the same thing, just a different color. (Untrue...it's a bulkier model with a built in table, not what my dad wanted) They talked her into buying it, and she used a 30% off coupon. Today, we went in to exchange it. First, they told us there would be a restock fee of $36. We told them they sold is a different model than the one we wanted, so the manager canceled that fee. The woman who initially sold the wrong model was there and corrobborated, if huffily. Then, the price didn't look right, so mom asked and they said you can't reuse the 30% coupon. After much talking, the manager very angrily informed us that she would put her career "on the line" to process the discounted price manually. Aside from this passive aggresive service experience, we did all the lifting and carrying of the items to be exchanged ourselves, no employee stepped out from behind a register though it was not busy. Very frustrating experience, I am far less likely to purchase here. All the tacked-on service fees as well as the manager being unable to process a discount easily speaks to an organizational problem. read more

I sometimes buy tools at Harbor Freight for one-off jobs. It can be even cheaper than renting for the course of a job. Electric tool quality can be spotty. I had a sawzall that literally disintegrated in my hands. Did that bother me? Not really since it had cost me $8 on sale and lasted 18 mos. I also bought a 'disposable' chop saw to install some crown moulding. That I've had for 8+ years now. One thing to note is that their hand tools have a lifetime warranty. So if you keep the receipt, you should be able to replace anything that breaks, forever. That's pretty good value for cheap tools. If you're learning how to use a tool before deciding on a major purchase buying a version from this store while you work on your technique can be a good option before spending big bucks DeWalt/Bosch/Freud/etc. If you can learn to do well with a Harbor Freight tool, you'll do even better with a top-end tool. At the very least, Harbor Freight Tools is an interesting place to visit. You never know what kind of gadget or new tool they'll have in stock for you to experiment with or solve a particular problem. read more

Coupons galore and good sales often. A wise man once told me to purchase inexpensive tools as you need them, and if they ever wore out, you'd know that was the tool to buy expensive. This place is a great spot for that! I purchased a cordless drill, two full sets of bits, a large set of screws, a set of screwdrivers and a large pack of batteries ALL for $41.00. The usual, around the house handy folk will feel capable to DIY without breaking the bank, which is GREAT! Also recommend their tarp selection for campers- tarps are usually SO expensive! Not here! Look online for super coupons and specials so you don't miss out! read more

The candy store for boat owners.... Lifetime warranties with no questions asked. Best deal around

Even though Harbor Freight has a bad reputation for having poor quality tools the staff at this location is great. I have been in several times and got great customer service that we find the right tool for the right job even though some of the merchandise is not the best there are plenty of things at the store that are a great bargain Buy read more

Their slogan should be "you get what you pay for," because the prices are almost as low as the quality. I bought a 1/2" socket wrench. The socket head sheared clean off the first time I tried to use it because the metal was so weak. When I tried to return it the manager gave me a huge attitude and suggested I had misused the item to cause it to break. I tried to escalate the issue with the General Manger but he refused to even leave his office to speak to me about it. My issue was finally resolved after I got their District Manager to call the General Manager of this location and force him to give me the return. The DM was a good guy in the end but the issue should have been resolved without him. read more

I went in with a vague idea of which tool I needed to replace a part in my car. Darren was extremely helpful and went above and beyond to help me figure out exactly what I needed. As a woman it can often feel intimidating to walk into a tool store and ask for help, but I never felt talked down to and received exceptional service. Will definitely recommend HF to my friends and come back for any other tools I may need in the future! read more

If you need inexpensive tools to get the job done it is the place to go. Most stuff made in china but then again most of the other brand tools come from there too. Not just hand and power tools but other odds and ends for yard and garden. Also tools that can be used metal and small wood craft projects! Worth checking prices online or in store. read more
