Maybe during the last price increase somebody neglected to change the Alaska price since it 'wasn't in the US'.
Don't get me started on that! The shipping to Alaska is reason enough to purchase through Lowe's. I recently purchased a "brand new" 20 year old Shopsmith Planer on eBay, the guy did not want to ship to Alaska because it was too far away, after talking him into it he boxed it up real well, then went to UPS (too heavy for USPS), and was shocked at the price quote. The shipping was just about the price I paid for the item, but it was still over have the price of a new one from Shopsmith. USPS shipping, if you can get the seller to charge actual cost and not add an Alaska premium, is still the best and cheapest way to get things shipped here.

Update, four days later I have not been contacted with the pricing information I asked for. Not surprised with this outcome and not going to waste anymore time pursuing Lowes for Shopsmith products.
