If you are a bargain hunter, you're in luck! Besides Free Fries Day, today is Free Shipping Day! Yay! Similar to November's Cyber Monday and Black Friday, Free Shipping Day is a one-day sale event held in December for last minute holiday shoppers.
For the fourth year in a row, participating merchants will offer free shipping with delivery by Christmas Eve, if you live in the contiguous United States, with no extra fees. Large and small merchants including Best Buy, Kohls, JC Penney, Sears, Nordstrom's, Sephora, Philosophy, Kmart, Apple, Dell, Bass Pro Shops and Toys R Us, will take part this year. With free shipping, why fight the crowds and bad weather when you can purchase those holiday gifts from the comfort of your own home? Whether you are looking for electronics, gadgets, games, clothing or things for the house, chances are pretty good you can find it online.
Free Shipping Day was created by entrepreneur Luke Knowles and his wife several years ago. Since its inception, more and more retailers participate in the annual event. More than 1,500 merchants participated in last year's Free Shipping Day resulting in more than $940 million in online sales, up 61 percent from the previous year.
This year, over 2,500 merchants will offer free shipping by Christmas Eve in the contiguous United States. Specific Free Shipping Day details of participating retailers will be posted online beginning at midnight, December 16th, 2011.
Friday is also the last day to ship FedEx Ground to make sure your packages get to their final destination in time for Christmas.
