    This place is great. Especially if you want to get a new but used phone, get home with it and think…read moreabout how easy that was, get it activated, then wake up the next day and have your iPhone Flash the blue screen of death for like 6 hours , while wasting all that time on the phone with Apple, but no fix . It gets better: That same day you drive 60 miles to take the broken phone back, thinking that it's just a coinsedense and you'll be able to make the next one work , (silly assumption on my part I guess). You arrive and the service is terrible, the worker is complaining about how she was supposed to get off of work 5 minutes ago, doesn't help you whatsoever, complains when you ask to see a certain phone, rolled eyes when you ask a question, and doesn't know a damn thing about the products she's selling .. Then finally you will pick out a phone that you fall in love with, you will think that it was just a one time thing (high hopes?), you trust them when they lie to you , and get home and try to activate it, then BAM. your carrier will tell you that the phone is not unlocked and it still connected with someone else's account and that there's no way you can activate it..... I drove over 200 miles for this to happen , then I call to talk to manager, no one would answer for an hour. When I did talk to someone, that could have cared less, (who was unhelpful and uneducated and useless to me for 1 minute), I dropped the call and lost connection to wifi, (because I was using an App on my "basically new phone") and guess what? No answer from me now.. They must not like being called out on their B. S. Don't trust them .

    Bought great quality product from them, and can't wait to do business with them again, staff was…read morefriendly and the service was fast

    The one star rating is today February 1 2025 only. This store is us pretty good…read more So I was at Waterloo Harbor Freight this morning for a pre-arranged exchange. The employees have always been nice at a minimum. Today I was greeted by an unprofessional employee. She was angry because I lose my words sometimes since my stroke. On her third try asking for a receipt I asked her what part of no doesn't she understand? On her second attempt she abandoned me and went to the office pouting. Then came back for her 3rd try. She proceeded to make rude facial expressions from the time I walked. I asked for help moving the return from my truck inside. I said it was heavy but couldn't get the name to come out due to Aphasia. I told her the exchange product was labeled with my name. She continued to give me dirty looks. So I asked her if she was hungover or something because she was being a "bitch". She responded I don't drink. Then she made a performance of telling the normal young lady via radio that she didn't want to help me. So I loudly said to the other employee who was nearing the back of the store that I didn't want her help. The other 2 employees said you can't call someone that. I said "not only can I call her a bitch, I'll continue to call her one as long as she acts like one. I n the previous 6 weeks I've been in this store at least 3 times a week and never had an issue. A lady who identified herself as the manager said in an offensive tone that she would be calling the main manager today. I responded with go ahead he knows me and if he likes I'll give him a transcript of our conversation from my hearing aids. In loud places I turn on TTY so I can understand what is being said. And showed her. She just feigned disinterest. Epic Fail #harborfreight

    Excellent Store. Highly recommend! I always leave with way more stuff than what I originally went…read morein for!

    I ordered two faucets - only one came in the box. When I contacted customer service they told me…read morethe second one would arrive on Thursday. It didn't. I called customer service on Friday and they told me it would arrive by 7:00 pm. It didn't. I called customer service on Saturday and was told that both faucets were in the box. I explained that I had only received one. Of course I didn't save the box or packing because I had been assured by customer service that my second faucet was on the way. I lost $135. I will never step foot in Home Depot again.

    Short Version: It's a pretty decent and clean home improvement store that carries the essentials…read morethat a home improvement store should have. The prices are a bit higher than I'd expect, and the employees help is hit-or-miss. However, if you get one of their super-helpful employees, you'll seriously love your experience. Long Version: Fantastic experience today at The Home Depot over in Waterloo. I started off at Menards as it was closer to me, but after I was told that Menards couldn't cut the lumber I needed AND they couldn't special-order the part I needed, I chose to try out The Home Depot and see what went on. The store itself is surprisingly clean. There's a Lumber area, and they have Lumber carts. They have a small clearance area near the restrooms. Unlike Menards, some of the prices are a bit high, and Home Depot doesn't seem to offer the "super cheap" doorbusters that Menards offers either. That was slightly disappointing. Employees seemed hit-or-miss. Some of them seemed particularly helpful and really wanted to help while others seemed to be mostly ignoring me. Both versions work fine. However, I did receive different responses from various employees as to whether the store carried things, so that was frustrating. (Turns out that they did carry it!) I wish the employees were on the same page. There was a guy in the Lumber department named Joe who was BEYOND helpful. I came in with some measurements and a general idea of what I wanted done, and he helped me pick out the wood type, explained the differences, and cut it for me. This is something Menards said they just couldn't do, but Joe had no issue with it. After that, I figured I might as well look into finding a good shelf for my cabinet, and that wood needed to be cut to size as well. I asked a nearby employee if that was something they could do, and she said "definitely not". Okay. Well, I thought I'd check with Joe to be sure. He said it would be no issue at all, and he cut it exactly how I needed it. My review would probably be average at best if it wasn't for Joe. Looks like the employees are hit-or-miss in helpfulness, but Joe honestly made this somewhere I'll come back to just for the lumber department because of him!
