In the old days, those of us who were brave enough to try this new online shopping thing were willing to pay a shipping fee for the mere convenience of having goods delivered to our door. Today, we’re a lot more experienced (and jaded), and free shipping is something we actively seek.
Most retailers will offer free shipping with a minimum threshold, like $25, $35 or $50. During the holidays, merchants like Target, Amazon and Best Buy spoil us with free shipping with no minimum purchase, but there are actually 48 stores with free shipping – without a minimum spend – and no membership fee, like with Amazon Prime, Target Circle 360, or Walmart+.
