Free Shipping Day is Dec. 18th, 2013 

If you’re a holiday procrastinator, like me, then mark  this Wednesday on your calendar. The 6th annual Free Shipping Day is Wednesday, Dec. 18, 2013.  This is a good chance to do some last minute Christmas shopping at participating stores and still get your gifts delivered by Christmas Eve.  Since shipping can add anywhere from $5.00 or more to your order, free shipping day does allow consumers to reap some real savings.   But not all retailers participate in free shipping day, so you need to know where to shop this Wed.   Here’s the stores on our list on free shipping day that offer discounts on some of our favorite fashion, beauty and tech deals.

 Overstock.com:  Overstock.com sells brand-name merchandise at up to 50% off the suggested retail price.  We still love the replicas of the Elizabeth Taylor jewelry that they offered on their site.

Belk:  With over 300 stores in 16 Southern states, a thriving website and a rich community heritage, Belk offers some great deals on just about everything.   My family based in North Carolina, does a lot of shopping at Belk’s for home, fashion and cooking items.

Cusp:  a new contemporary concept by Neiman Marcus.  CUSP hand offers the latest fashion trends and must-haves.

 DermStore:  This online store is a great destination for all things skin and beauty.  Some of our favorites there include the Elemis products, Phillip B, Skinceuticals and  Ole Henriksen.
