Quote HistoryQuoted: I ordered 1 orange and 2 black. Received 1 orange and 4 black. Going to put the kids Christmas gift cards in the extra cases and wrap them up. You are not going to ask if they want the 2 extra cases back ? I know I would. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Went to HF today, they were fully stocked with every color of the 3800 cases. I'm wondering if I can take the 3800 GAWDAWEFUL ORANGE case back that I got on the sale and swap it for a tan one. Straight across. I opened it once, didn't even take the tags or stickers off. Yeah I guess it's vanity thing, but I really wanted a tan one. Wish me luck ! In for answer as I got 2 orange and 1 tan and want to swap an orange to black GL!! |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Does the foam still give a little after you treated it with plastidip? Yes. And, as you layer the PlastiDip letting each spray(layer) dry you can control the stiffness or "give". You can layer it all the way to a smooth finish as well if you like. |

Got all 3 of mine, one each color. Had planned on putting my QRP ham radio in one of them but since it needs a tuner, it wouldn't all fit in the case. If I went without the tuner, I could fit the HF radio and a handheld. I'll find something else to use it for. (Or, I'll buy a Xiegu G90 that has a built in tuner. You know, so the case doesn't feel neglected.

AND do it in a well ventilated area. Plastidip has some strong fumes! |

The retailer seems to have been a bit overwhelmed on this one and made some mistakes. It's on them to make it right, which I'm sure they will. Well it probably wouldn’t be hard to reach out to the company and tell them you were shipped items you didn’t pay for. The consumers seem to have been greedy on this one so we won’t get it ever again. I just love people who steal from a company with a great product on sale. It ensures prices won’t change and sales won’t happen. This is why we can’t have nice things. If they want to mail me their cases they didn’t pay for along with all the information about the purchase I’ll spend all free time making it right with Harbor freight so they don’t have to. |

If they contacted HF, I'd bet a Pmag that they'd be told to keep the cases. A company that large isn't going to bother with the process and costs involved with the return of a $20 item. Characterizing what happened here as "stealing" is more than a little dramatic. And sales won't happen, Harbor Freight? LOL. All that said, I'd agree with you that the absolute right thing to do would be to at least contact HF about the error. But I'm not going to judge anyone who doesn't bother. |

Now I seem to recall that there was some kind of tariff passed on certain types of cases and the prices for the rifle cases went up to the point where the HF cases weren’t nearly as much of a bargain compared to Pelican and Sam’s doesn’t even carry them anymore. Anybody else remember this? |

For the guys that liked the 9 gun foam insert, but don't want to pay $80:
 Attached FileIt's very easy to cut 10.5x3 inch strips from HF anti-fatigue floor mats. I got 8 double stack pistols in it. I could do 9 if I had some thinner ones. The gun on the right is a 34 slide with threaded barrel and a mag well. That is about the largest you can fit in it. |
