The news broke yesterday: LL Bean has decided to offer free shipping on most orders (excluding large items like canoes). That's free shipping, with no minimum purchase, and not just limited to holidays or store credit-card holders.
We love our free shipping. In fact, studies have shown that up to 75% of consumers will abandon a purchase in an online shopping cart when they view the shipping charges.
Free-shipping deals vary by merchant. Like LL Bean, stores like Zappos offer free shipping all the time, with no minimum purchase. Amazon has gone a different route: free shipping on purchases over $25 (with some exceptions) or free shipping all the ,
time with the purchase of a $79-per-year Prime membership. Walmart offers free "ship to store," so you still have to drive to the store to pick up your purchases. New customers get one-time free shipping at Overstock.com, while Macy's requires a $99 minimum purchase. And of course there are plenty of special offers that are always worth checking out. Dare to compare!
Don't miss all of our free shipping deals! We've got links to stores like LL Bean that offer free shipping all the time--as well as special free-shipping offers from other stores as well.
