L.L. Bean announced that it is waiving shipping fees, joiningZappos in a small band of online retailers giving consumers what they've been asking for for years. Wouldn't it be nice to have to quit looking for free shipping codes or waiting for "free shipping" day during the holidays?
If online companies lose their tax-free advantage (re: Amazon), I think a lot more sites will start offering free shipping to stay competitive.
I have been looking for examples of other companies offering free shipping all the time and haven't found them yet. Please share if you know of others.
By the way, free shipping generally only applies to standard delivery and does not apply to large freight items or furniture.
