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.

Maybe Lowes changed their shipping recently? They canceled a couple items of my shipment (out of stock/couldn't find item). I still gpr free shipping on the remaining $29 worth of items. The two remaining items shipped one each from two diff locations. The items were already half price sale. They lost money

You may be confused about who canceled the items. Lowes canceled items in the order, which dropped the total order below $45, and charged shipping for the items they didn't cancel. Do you think that's fair?

Yeah that's bs. If it's multiple orders with intention of returning to store, they you can get ripped for shipping. It being refunded. But most people will say it came damaged or something which makes in the companies fault. We can also be real that this doesn't happen all the time and product is priced accordingly to make mad cash. I'd be more worried about scum at b&m's stealing sh!t.

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.
Revenue and profit are very different things. Lowes revenue is lately in the $100B range with about 10-13% operating profit. Still big numbers but $97B in profit is more than Microsoft and about Apple's profit.

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.

It's clear from some research that organized retail theft isn't a thing. A few viral TikToks don't make organized crime

You are looking at the wrong sources then.

Organized retail crime is a VERY REAL thing... ask virtually any metro or suburban police department, search on it on youtube (and you will see lots of news stations reporting on it), etc.

I'm floored that some people are so low-information, so disconnected from what's going on in the world, to even comment something like this.

PD Crime statistics are from retailers, which have gone down, not up, once you account for the changes in retailer's reporting policies.

Well I'm not going to get into this whole "quote your reputable sources thing"... All I can say is please start tuning into the news more. this level of not knowing what's going on in the world is a big part of why democracies are faltering across the world. this is just one small example of not having a good sense of what's generally going on in the world.

Nobody that has that would argue the point that organized retail theft is not off the hook in recent years, comparatively speaking.
