Free Shipping for the Holidays

Everybody loves free shipping! 

So here is a list of the more popular stores that are offering just that this holiday season:

Walmart - They are offering homefree on over 100,000 items.   There is a $45.00 minimum qualifying order and it will be shipped to your door within 3 - 5 business days. You can return the items for free to any Walmart.  They also have pickuptoday, where you can order online and pickup in the store the same day or next day (depending on the time the order is placed).  This is good for any size order and covers over 20,000 items. There is also sitetostore, but this takes 5 - 8 business days.  It is good for any size order and covers over 300,000 items. Not all items are eligible but go to the Walmart site for the details and if the item is eligible for one of these programs it will tell you when you click on it.
 
Sears announced that they would offer free shipping from Sears and Kmart stores. The offer is available from October 30 to December 19. At Sears.com the order must be a qualified $99 and to receive the savings you must use the code SHIPREALJOY.  At Kmart.com and mygofer.com it must be a $49 qualified order and you must use the code HOLIDAY on Kmart.com and JINGLE49 on mygofer.com.  There is Free instore pickup available on some items at both Sears and Kmart.  Check the sites for details.
Target -  you get Free shipping on eligible items when you spend $50 - there are over 500,000 items that are eligible for this.  Go to target.com for details.

ToysRUs - They have a limited time offer for Free Shipping - It is available on everything with a $75 purchase. It will cover Standard Shipping up to $20.  So if you are buying something heavy you may still have to pay something for the shipping.  Check out the site for details, but I think the limited time offer may be extended with all the competition.

Amazon.com - they have their Amazon Prime program where you get free 2 day shipping with no minimum order size and they offer 1 day shipping for $3.99 an item.  You can get a 1 month free trial and if you sign up after that it is $79 per year.  There is another perk with the Prime program - you get unlimited instant streaming of thousands of movies and TV shows.  They also offer Amazon Student and Amazon Mom programs with some great benefits.  Go to the site and check out the details.

Those are some of the major stores that are offering free shipping right now.  I will keep my eye out for any other offers.

 Happy Shopping!
