I've been into deal hacking with Milwaukee and Ryobi products for a while now. I noticed a shift in their practices recently, especially when they started requiring the same shipping options for deals. To work around this, I've been sending what I want to a nearby Home Depot and the items I don't need to another location that's pretty far away. In the past, Home Depot would cancel the orders of unwanted items after a week, but I have one order that's been sitting for over a month without any cancellation. Has anyone heard if they've changed their policy on BOGO deals?

If you're not planning to keep those items, returning them is your best bet. It not only gets you your refund immediately but also allows for someone else to benefit from those pricy items. Just keep in mind that a lot of stores don't like unpicked orders. It could lead to stricter policies on these kinds of deals, so make sure to return or sell them rather than let them pile up!
I think it's likely that someone has to manually cancel those unwanted items, and they just might have overlooked your order. If you're feeling anxious about it, just call the store and ask them to cancel it for you—like I did once when a family member bought something without telling me!
You might want to just return the items you don't want at the customer service desk. It’s typically no hassle and gives you the refund right then and there. Might save you the headache of waiting around for a cancellation!
Some locations can be sticklers about returns. They might not allow you to keep anything if you're returning other products.
Agreed! We should all be mindful not to abuse the return policy. It’s great that they offer such generous terms, but we don’t want to ruin it for everyone.
