Holiday Shipping Costs Get the Heave-Ho-Ho

Charges ditched as online competition heats up

(NEWSER) - Free shipping is quickly becoming the rule instead of a bonus as online and catalog retailers seek to lure holiday shoppers. Many shoppers searching for deals now abandon Internet shopping sites as soon as they find they must pay shipping costs, analysts are finding. Some 57% of retailers are offering no-strings-attached free shipping this holiday season, up from just 25% in 2004, according to a survey from Shop.org. More»

On Black Friday, $89 Kindles

Amazon.com announces deal on Facebook

(NEWSER) - There's no need to leave your house to snag a killer Black Friday deal, like the one Amazon just announced: a Kindle e-reader for $89. The site disclosed the deal on its Facebook page, David Carnoy reports for CNET . The only catch: You can only get the previous generation (Amazon's second generation) at that price; the latest generation will still cost $139. The deal begins at 9am Pacific time. More»

Walmart Rolls Out Free Shipping

No minimum purchase. Online retailers gulp.

(NEWSER) - Walmart just got cheaper: The retail giant today rolls out free shipping on its website with no minimum purchase, reports the New York Times.

Many currently charge consumers an annual fee for unlimited free shipping, but Walmart may have set a new expectation. More»

While e-tailers beat the scrawny 3.6% sales growth of traditional stores, experts attribute the slowdown to the maturing of online shopping. More»

Survey: Amazon Smokes Best Buy on Prices

In the battle of online prices, there's a clear winner right now

(NEWSER) - If Best Buy is indeed restructuring to better compete with Amazon , a survey by Barclays suggests it needs to work on its pricing. Comparing prices at BestBuy.com to those at Amazon.com, the survey found little or no incentive to visit Best Buy. Business Insider provides a snapshot of results: Best Buy's prices were an average of 4.2% higher, and it could beat Amazon on only 4% of products. Amazon had lower prices on 54% of items, and the sites tied on 42%. Adding insult to injury, BestBuy.com offers less free shipping and charges more taxes. More»
