What up with HF Website?

Ok, so maybe I don’t have enough to do today. Did anyone else notice you can’t get to www.HarborFreight.com anymore? I went to try and look up a steel hanging wall cabinet they carry that is a pretty good deal and that link takes you to some generic crap. Ok, thinking that maybe I screwed up I went to some links in the Bargin section and got the same thing. A little Google’ing and I found that the new address is http://ww2.harborfreight.com so I wonder what happened there?

Works ok for me. Sounds like a propagation or DNS issue. That tree limb REALLY messed up your stuff Ken!!

Both sites worked fine for me.

Both sites worked fine for me.

Me too, I don't have any problem at all on either URL.

Ok, so you guys are pulling my leg right?

Do I have to do a screen cap!

Nope. No problem here either

Ken,

Works for me, no problem getting in. Maybe you need to move to West Texas, no trees.

www.harborfreight.com gives me an odd page as well. Instead of the usual page with small tool pics & prices, I get some goofy menu of a few things and a silly picture of a sky. ?? www.harborfreightusa.com seems normal though.

Ah HA! An Allie! That’s exactly what I get also.

Thanks MPC people were beginning to make me think I was crazy!

People were start to think that tree branch landed on my head!

Maybe your browsers are pointing to old links?

I think your workplace IT guys are blocking the site... too much traffic.

I think a tree branch landed on my head last weekend.

Well it's working now so it must have been some DNS issue to where I am pointed. Oh well was not the worst thing to happen to me latley.
