Post Cyber Monday, Retailers Pulling Free Shipping off the Table
December 1st, 2009 by Doug Bright
For the first time since we started tracking free shipping a few weeks ago there has been a net decline in free shipping offers among retailers. This, of course, is news of the “Well, duh” variety. It is interesting to note, however, that despite the pull back more than half of merchants are still offering free shipping.

For the record - we’ve been offering a sitewide free rush shipping upgrade on all orders over $75 since last Thursday. Ends tomorrow 12/22, but there just might be another shipping offer for those last minute shoppers (Dad, are you reading this?)
And anyone on our email list has been seeing free shipping offers since early in the month
