If you're still hoping to find a few last-minute web deals and actually get those gifts before Christmas day, have no fear. Tomorrow, December, 17, 2009, is Free Shipping Day and there are currently 698 participating merchants (and counting) offering pro bono shipping with guaranteed delivery by Christmas Eve.
Free Shipping Day, founded by FreeShipping.org, is a one-day online shopping dream come true for all of us procrastinators. Each year, the organization consults with retailers to determine the last possible day to offer the shipping freebies and still guarantee delivery. This year, that day happens to be tomorrow, and the shipping bonanza begins at 12:00 a.m. EST.
Participating merchants include big-name brands as well as smaller retailers. Some names on the extensive list you might recognize are Aeropostale, Bebe, Apple, Borders, Express, FAO Schwarz, Macy's, Nike, Nordstrom, Sears and ToysRUs.
