TRU Canada Online - Free Shipping Removed From Many Exclusives

I commented on this in a thread regarding R5 from TRU.ca, but figured it deserves it's own thread as this is pretty major imo... it looks like many exclusives no longer apply for free shipping over $25, or even $10 off shipping. For example Palace Cinema: http://www.toysrus.ca/product/index.jsp?prodFindSrc=cart&productId=19102406 "Free shipping on anything over $25" is not listed. This can be said about most of the "Hard to Finds". I also thought it could just be a bug and will apply at checkout, but nope, $9.83 shipping cost. If you add 4 PC's in cart the cost is $37 in shipping, gross. So i figured OK, maybe they have a new weight cap for free shipping. Well Tower Bridge still applies for free shipping: http://www.toysrus.ca/product/index.jsp?productId=18969416 And as we all know this is bigger than many exclusives. So that doesn't really make much sense. The last items i bought from TRU that were exclusives were Arkham Asylums, and they definitely had free shipping. Anyone know when this change took place? I sent TRU an e-mail, and got a mostly generic response claiming they can exclude what they like from shipping promotions. Now normally i only buy from TRU if it is OOS on LEGO Shop at Home, or i have air miles coupons. In this case i have $50 air miles coupons i was looking to burn when i noticed this shipping issue. Paying $10 to ship an R5/PC is silly. If this isn't just a bug, and going forward TRU will continue to exclude these bigger items; i will likely need to change up the strategy a bit as to avoid last minute buys and pay $10 extra per item... Blargh.
