Saw this just now in a store's terms:

  For orders with a total quantity 10 parts or less there is NO FEE charged.

For orders with a total quantity 11 to 49 parts there is a $5.00 Surcharge

For orders with a total quantity 50 to 99 parts there is a $10.00 Surcharge.

For orders with a total quantity of 100 to 199 parts or more there is a $20.00 Surcharge

For orders with a total quantity of 200 parts or more there is a $40.00 Surcharge

FORTY DOLLAR surcharge for 200 parts. (Not lots, parts.)

Wow.

well they do have to count all those parts but they can also count on not getting
much business with that surcharge.

This is not fee avoidance, at least not according to this:

I would still report it. Russell or someone else behind the scenes may see this
as a problem, but they cannot look into things that they aren't aware of.

Worst case scenario is that they deem it not a problem.

That is disgraceful. Least favourite the store and you can avoid seeing the store
in searches forever.
