It sounds pretty simple — it’s Free Shipping Day today (now you know), so one might think a bunch of retailers are offering up complimentary shipping, for delivery by Christmas Eve. One would be right, because there are a lot of stores dangling that bait, though not all of them will just hand it over without a little song and dance first.

By “song and dance,” we actually mean, “some stores will make you enter a discount code to get free shipping today.” Others — including Target and Best Buy — might already be on the free shipping train for the holidays, so it isn’t really news. But it’s still free!
