Retailer Unveils One-Day Free Shipping Promotion on Dec.11, Shipping
Cutoff Dates with Options Up Until Dec. 23
BENTONVILLE, Ark. -- (Business Wire)
This Saturday’s date is 12/13/14, the last number-sequential date this
century. To celebrate, Walmart is kicking off a sequence of savings this
weekend with new, lower prices on hundreds of items in stores. The
retailer is also unveiling a one-day free shipping promotion on Dec. 11
and releasing its holiday shipping cutoff times including shipping
options up until Dec. 23.
According to The
National Retail Federation, less than 10 percent of Americans
complete their Christmas shopping lists by December. To serve customers
in the last weeks before Christmas, Walmart’s hundreds of new savings
will last through the holiday. The majority of Walmart stores are also
open 24 hours a day and up until 8 p.m. on Christmas Eve, offering
customers ample time to purchase these new deals.
“Gift buying no longer happens on just one day or in just one way. We’re
seeing more customers shopping across the season while visiting both our
store and online aisles,” said Scott McCall, senior vice president of
toys and seasonal merchandising, Walmart U.S. “There is a lot more
shopping to do and that’s why we’re lowering even more prices. We’ve
said it before and we’ll say it again. Our customers can be confident
that there is no other place to shop this December – whether they choose
to shop today, next week or on Christmas Eve.”
Thursday, Dec. 11 – Head Start: Free Shipping Day at Walmart.com
Today, shoppers can get a head start on the savings weekend online.
Shortly after midnight on Thursday, Dec. 11, Walmart will offer free
shipping with no minimum purchase for one day only. Shipping rates on
