After calling the Plainfield store and requesting help in loading a toolbox after purchasing, and being told, "yes, we have a couple of good size guys that can help you out".
I arrived there and was met with scepticism, the manager just kind of shrugged her shoulders and said, "Look, you're asking for an awful lot" we have a truck to unload." I told her I had just talked with a gentleman there less than 40 minutes ago, and he said it was no problem.
I replied, "Good, thanks, I'm on my way "
I finally asked the manager, are you going to help me or not, I don't have a problem taking my $500+ somewhere else.
She said no.
I called the store at Southern Plaza, I was told,, "Well, you should call back tomorrow and ask a manager".
I looked and I was just a few miles from the Speedway Store.
I called them, and again, got the "no problem" reply.
I was skeptical, but upon arriving, I was assured by a lady there that, yes indeed, we can help get you loaded and on your way.
Because of limited space in my vehicle, they allowed me to uncrate the tool box, (they actually helped me) and let me wrap it with furniture blankets with straps to hold them in place before setting it up so we could slide it into the back of my vehicle.
Paid for and on my way.
I regret not getting their names, but I made sure they knew I appreciated their help.
There are a couple of other stores that might be a little more convenient to get to, but I will drive by them in the future if I have to.
I will not hesitate to take my money to Speedway Harbor Freight. read more
