Does ACME Tools offer free shipping during the 2026 Black Friday sales?

Question

I saw a deal tracker saying ACME usually has a $199 shipping minimum but another site mentioned sitewide freebies for Black Friday 2026. Im confused if that includes freight stuff.

$600 budget

Ohio deck project

deadline mid-December

Anyone know if heavy table saws qualify for the free shipping?

Saw this earlier but just now getting around to replying. In my experience, the freight trap is totally real with these big sales. I've been doing this for years and even when they scream sitewide free shipping, once a saw hits that 150lb mark, they almost always slap on a liftgate fee or a heavy-item surcharge. I learned that the hard way on a big planer a few years back... cost me an extra $75 I wasn't expecting. Since you're doing an Ohio deck in December (godspeed with that weather), you're probably better off with a high-end portable unit that qualifies for standard ground. I've tried many, and something like the DEWALT DWE7491RS 10-Inch Table Saw with Rolling Stand usually stays under the freight limit while still being a beast. Another killer option for heavy decking is the Skilsaw SPT99-11 10-Inch Worm Drive Table Saw because that worm drive has way more torque for wet, pressure-treated lumber than the regular ones. Both usually ship free ground if you hit that $199 mark.

I've ordered from ACME a few times during their holiday blowouts and the freight shipping is usually where they get you. Standard ground shipping is almost always free over $199, but heavy stuff like big table saws often stays excluded from the sitewide promos. Since you're on a mid-December deadline for that Ohio deck, you might want to look at saws that ship via standard ground to avoid those extra fees.

The DEWALT DWE7485 8-1/4 in. Compact Jobsite Table Saw is usually small enough to ship standard and fits your budget.

The SKIL TS6307-00 10 Inch Jobsite Table Saw with Folding Stand is another solid option for deck work. Check the cart early on Black Friday morning tho... sometimes they drop a specific free freight code for a limited time. If you're doing a lot of rip cuts, getting it shipped soon is better than waiting and missing that mid-month window.
