   / Harbor Freight quick hitch??? #11  
I was wondering if you meant the third week of June rather than may.I haven't gotten the postcard yet, just what came on the sales slip.(I bought other stuff).And it indicated back ordered 2-3 weeks. I suppose I may be getting a card in the mail anyway.
Thanks for posting. I live in central NH.

If you go to the HF website and click the "What's Hot" link, the first item that pops up is the QH. Pretty clear somebody is buying 'em. Now where do you find the 'anticipated' shipping date? I ordered online 5/23 and there was no indication in my confirmation the item was even back ordered, let alone an anticipated shipping date. Same on the Order Acknowledgement postcard, and that irks me. I think such info shoud be readily available before you place it in the cart, but not to have it after is even worse! Didn't check to see if they hit up the card in full yet or wait till shipping... anyone?

I agree, at the time I ordered mine, my friends was on backorder for two weeks plus. You'd think they could indicate this. If one was to order the hitch, and , say a stack of electrical tape. thats $2.99 and then add the shipping of $9.99 only to have the hitch cancelled its would sure be expensive tape.
So backordered isn't all that bad, unless you need it right away.
As I posted they don't charge the card till they ship. I bought a car lift two years ago, and they billed me the next day. Then took over a month to get it to my door.I recieved the credit card bill, and saw that there was a charger on it, and no lift. So I called the card company, and it went into disputed are mode.
Two days later it arrived. And I called the card company back, and had them "re-instate" the charge. which they did. But it stretched the lift company from getting their money another month plus.
Its not good business practice to bill for something that hasnt even been shipped out the door. They just do it to have the money in their pockets immediately.
I have had other things backordered and it didnt take long to get. I have never had a back-order been cancelled before either.
Hope this helps.Definetly post when you get it thou.
Just a reminder if you view it online, there is a download of the manual for it. to give you a better understanding.
However the ad says it has all pins and bushings, and the manual says other
OH also remember to look through many many sale flyers to get the best price. There was one on here with the hitch for 69.00 dollars. And others for 89.00 dollars.

Ordered one 5/23 or 5/24. Got a confirming email right away with an order number but the HF site didn't even recognize that number until a week later. Got the postcard dated 5/29 saying back order, the web site now says shipped 5/30, but the tracking link to FedEx says 'not in their system yet' - and has been saying that for a week. I dropped HF an email to find out the real status but haven't heard back yet. I've got a bunch of low-end (is there any other kind) HF stuff at the local store when the prices were too good to ignore, but their web site leaves just about everything to be desired. /forums/images/graemlins/tongue.gif

We shall see. /forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif

Hey Tim - I just went online to check my order status and came up with pretty much the same [non] info. Originally ordered 5/22 w/ shipping 5/23, but looks like it was changed on or as of 5/26 to say shipping 5/30. A shipping link and tracking # are now available, but the # is not recognized by the shipper. So I called HF and was told, despite the posted tracking #, even they could not track it until 14 days after the shipping date (5/30). So I asked if that meant it would not be shipped until the middle of June and all she would say is she didn't know and couldn't track before the 14 days. She also said for online sales they do not indicate ANYWHERE --before, during, or after-- whether an item is back ordered or not. Why some folks here, but not me, have received a back order notice I have no clue. Anyhoo, I asked her to put that complaint in the cookie jar and she simply said call back soon and hung up! Okaaay... /forums/images/graemlins/tongue.gif
