Free Shipping Day

Friday, December 17, 2010
The man who actually package this time, you remain the same: National regifting yesterday, today and now Free Shipping Day 17, Friday December 2010. Lucas Knowles is a fake holiday two years ago and has grown like crazy, with over 1,500 participants, provides shipping and warranty items will be on 24 December for purchases come today.
A survey of unicast 37% of consumers plan to avoid online now shipping. posted in the Q & A Knowles discussed below, the power of free shipping, the disappearance of the requirements for free shipping, and where shipping is free with the head. Think: shipping more and more free, not only for a day.
Tell me about the growth of the companies participating in the Day Free Delivery: What types of companies have been not in the past?Lucas Knowles: to do the number of operators in the shipping day off, have increased very little from year to year. Last year, 750 participating stores, with more than 250 last year. This year, more than 1,000 participating merchants, but we went too far. This is partly because we have seen a sharp increase in small retailers to sell only one such element. For example, saved over 40 Etsy will participate this year.
We also have a class of more than 15 dealers will be sent free of charge to residents of Canada with delivery on Christmas Eve. In this sense, it is also a day of shipping costs in Poland (see article) and the Netherlands (gratisbezorging.nl) this year, so it is certainly an idea that is gaining in popularity.
Have you noticed any changes in restrictions on exactly how and when retailers offer free shipping? Have at least $ tend to increase or decrease or disappear?LK: I see a trend towards free shipping during the holidays, that a lower threshold than they have to offer in recent years. Shipping by day we see more retailers offer free shipping on all orders. So far, 60% of participating retailers free shipping with no minimum order requirement, 17 December,.
That retailers are the most generous policy of free shipping, not only in the day free shipping, but in the whole season?LK: At the moment the best offers free shipping during the holidays Lands' End, LL Bean, Eddie Bauer and Overstock.com have regular free shipping on all items in order. Many stores like Nine West Shoes, Piperlime, Zappos and Shoes.com even charged for anything. Buyers can view a list of dealers that have free shipping no minimum purchase here.
How do you think services like Amazon Prime, which gives "free" 2 day Shipping for members pay an annual fee (which some consumers to purchase elsewhere), will impact on retailers load (or load) to the shipping company?LK: Amazon Prime has a direct impact on how freight largest distributor of shipping had. Companies such as Sears, Borders, Barnes & Noble and Overstock.com have followed the example of the Amazon by creating clubs reviews. Shipping policy of retailers, small and medium should not prevent most of the former are not large enough as a society, the freedom of navigation would be affected create attractive to buyers.
Some people believe a time when, more often, online orders come with free shipping. Do you think that as a real possibility? Or do you think things are more or less as it is, with free shipping available very often, but usually only by special action in the short term and coupon codes?LK: It really depends on the type of products you buy. Some categories such as books, jewelry and shoes free shipping more often, while other categories such as furniture and electronics, the possibility of free shipping offers are short and have a commitment, minimum order value. I think the trend we are now, what we see for the next two years.
