Not sure where to put this. Moderators, please move this as necessary.

FYI:
If you order multiple items from Lowes and the items add up over $45 and receive free shipping and some items get canceled where you drop under $45, Lowes will automatically charge you the shipping fee for the items that do get shipped out.

That seems very fair actually... too many people game these retailers.

Retailers are having a difficult enough time with all the organized flash thefts and everything else.

Businesses are learning there are certain types of customers they definitely do not want.

They do not want paying ones?

Lowes profit for 2023 is 97 billion and their CEO was paid out 17 million while their store employee get paid between 13-27 dollars an hour, get out of here with your corporate boot licking.

What a crooked company. Just another reason I shop at Home Depot instead.

I could see if YOU cancelled items, then they charge you.

this is one of the retail miracle exploits that is amazon SnS
even if you are not prime and/or your total month is under $25
you still get the items free shipped, although you may have to
wait a week or two for most of it to show up.

I mean, inflation is hitting us all. These execs can't swim in their vault of coins like scrooge McDuck due to the amount of coins being too shallow to dive into!!! /s

The customer can refuse to accept the shipment. The shipping company will return the entire shipment to the vendor and the order will be canceled.
The main reason for this thread post as a PSA is because Lowes never tells you they added the shipping charges when they tell you they've cancel an item(s) which disqualified you for FS.
So it is on you to watch them closely and reconcile it to even know and then complain when it was their problem. Without this advisory, I would never know as is the same for many of us because we expect it to be handled as their problem and not be an added charge to us.

Please rep the OP!

Oh no, someone please think of the big corp businesses. We wouldn't survive without their greed-flation and how much they think of us!

Big businesses like lowes and Walmart are Not having a tough time. They are experts at squeezing more money out of unsuspecting customers.

Keep up with the news... if you do you will see almost all retailers are having a massive problem with organized theft rings, some places worse than others but in general is very very bad.

And the retailers always game their employees, customers, I don't see the problem?
