We have come up with the next big day in online shopping. It's called Free Shipping Day. It's a day when participating merchants give free shipping to online shoppers with guaranteed delivery by Christmas. It is on December 18.
There are currently over 60 participating merchants including Amazon, Macy's, Kmart, Apple and Dell, and the list is growing every day.
We're trying to get the word out about Free Shipping Day, and Frugal Hacks has the attention of most frugal bloggers, so I'm hoping you might be able to mention it on your blog.
With in a couple years Free Shipping Day could be as big as Cyber Monday and Black Friday.
