Mail Order
The company expanded into mail-order and acquired another mail-order company in the tool and equipment business, US General. At first the company mailed free sheets in standard envelopes, which was immediately successful. In the early 1980s the company relocated to Camarillo, CA, acquiring the former headquarters of Unity, another large mail order company. Harbor Freight launched its first full-blown mail-order catalog in the mid 1980s. Through TV advertising, Harbor Freight grew its customer base to over 10,000,000 worldwide. Today Harbor Freight Tools accepts online, phone, and retail orders.

Famous quotes containing the words mail and/or order:
“The mail from Tunis, probably,
An easy Morning’s Ride—”
—Emily Dickinson (1830–1886)
“Pleasure cannot be shared; like Pain, it can only be experienced or inflicted, and when we give pleasure to our Lovers or bestow Charity upon the Needy, we do so, not to gratify the object of our Benevolence, but only ourselves. For the Truth is that we are kind for the same reason as we are cruel, in order that we may enhance the sense of our own Power.”
—Aldous Huxley (1894–1963)
