Quoted: 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 ! View Quote In for answer as I got 2 orange and 1 tan and want to swap an orange to black GL!! |

Quoted: I ordered 3 tan and got only ONE tan....charged for 3 though. View Quote View All Quotes View All Quotes Quoted: Quoted: You are not going to ask if they want the 2 extra cases back ? I know I would. I ordered 3 tan and got only ONE tan....charged for 3 though. I ordered 3 and got 2, but the website says they're backordered. Going to be interesting to see if I get one more, three more, or none... |

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.)

Quoted: Thanks. I put two pistol cutouts on each side with magazine space in the middle. Thanks for the idea. View Quote @Sorensic Just take your time with the plastidip, you don't want it gobbing up. First layer give it a lite coat and than build up from there to your desired level. AND do it in a well ventilated area. Plastidip has some strong fumes! |

Heh. They swapped the orange for a tan one no problem.
Glad i left the stickers and tag on the one I picked up. I wonder how it will be before they have a shitload of orange cases on the shelf. LOL |

I think HF screwed up my order. I got 3 boxes.
I opened one and there’s 2 fde apache cases. I still have 2 more boxes to open and I ordered 3 cases in total, one more black case left. ETA: Ended up getting 4 fde cases and one black. |

Thank you to all the guys that suggested plastic dip to stiffen the foam. Here is how one of my boxes turned out. Attached File

So everyone who received extra cases kept them while there are people not receiving cases they paid for.

View Quote 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. |

View Quote 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 File It'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. |

It does make it less likely to snag anything and looks sharper but yours looks really really good. Attached File |

By the way, you guys can also hollow out an apple AirTag or tile or whatever the non-apple people are using and shove it in the foam underneath that way you can always find your gun case
