Free Shipping Day-Friday 12/17

It’s not too late to shop online for Christmas!

On Monday (12/13) I wrote about the importance of free shipping and that a heavier percentage of transactions include free shipping. E-Retailers need to offer free shipping to stay in the game.

FreeShippingDay.com promises that on Friday, December 17, more than 1,500 participating merchants will offer free shipping with delivery by Christmas Eve in the continental United States. The site instructs that “All Free Shipping Day offers will be revealed on this website at 12:00am EST on Friday, December 17, 2010.”

Free shipping AND delivery by Christmas Eve?

That’s another day I can procrastinate my shopping!
