A source for shipping deals
If you’re a frequent online shopper, you know that shipping costs often drive up the price of an otherwise inexpensive purchase. Well, there’s a place where you can go to find numerous deals on shipping, from freebies to discounts at well-known retailers.
It’s www.freeshipping.org. This is not a new Web site. It launched in December. But it’s a convenient way to find discounts on shipping or freebies for this service in one place. There are coupons for a host of retailers, including Old Navy, Macy’s, Sears, Kohl’s, Amazon.com and Best Buy.
The drawback is that some of these coupons require you to spend a certain amount or order a specific item, such as free shipping for orders valued at $75 or more at Caribou Coffee or free shipping only on Godiva purchases at Macy’s.
One of the best deals that I noticed was a free two-day shipping offer with no minimum purchase required at Amazon.com.
Let me know what you think of some of these deals.
Amazon.com also has a deal called "Prime Membership", where you pay a yearly membership fee and you can ship everything you order 2-day for free. I think the membership fee when I joined was $75 but since I order so much through Amazon it is a better deal for me not to have to pay shipping with each purchase.

Michelle,
That sounds like a pretty good Amazon deal, and one that certainly would save you if you order a lot of merchandise.
Do you pay $75 each year for the membership fee?
