Free shipping day will be Dec. 16 this year according to the promoters of the event -- www.freeshipping.org.
is one of the last opportunities for online shoppers to receive free shipping from popular merchants, with delivery by Christmas Eve.
MOST OF THE RETAILERS DO NOT REQUIRE COUPON CODES.
Don't be deceived by the Free Shipping moniker -- most of the time there's a minimum order requirement.
From FS.org --
"Given the record-breaking success of 2010's event, we fully expect to meet or exceed 2,000 merchants this year," said event founder Luke Knowles. "With over 300 merchants already signed up, including big names like Kohl's, Bed Bath and Beyond and Cabela's, Free Shipping Day 2011 is well on its way to reaching that goal."
Knowles, who also co-founded FreeShipping.org (a year-round site),
developed the idea for Free Shipping Day in just two short weeks in 2008. He
realized merchants and shoppers would relish the opportunity to extend online
holiday shopping -- the preferred method of buying for those who dread the
hustle and bustle of crowded malls.
BARGAIN MOM NOTES --
Don't wait until Dec. 16 to shop. Give yourself some breathing room and get started now, stock piling little gifts that will add up to a big Christmas for your loved ones instead of waiting to the last minute and possibly putting a present on a credit card.
Planning now will help you enjoy the holidays much better.
