We’ve all been there: You finally find an item you’ve been looking for online, and it’s on sale for $5!

You add it to your cart, go to check out — and realize you have to pay $8 for shipping. It’s not such a good deal anymore.

Here’s another common scenario: You add everything you need to your cart, and the total comes to $25. The site offers free shipping — but only on orders over $50.

Shipping costs often double or even triple the price you pay for small orders, eliminating the savings of shopping online. But if you know where to look, you can get thousands of items shipped for free.

Few offer overnight shipping at no charge, but many can get the package to you in two to three days, though COVID-19 safety precautions are slowing deliveries down for many retailers. Still, if you don’t need it tomorrow, your patience can save you $5 to $8 to $20.

It’s worth your while to look for the many stores offering free shipping. And we’re here to help you get the complimentary shipping you deserve.
