That's because December 18th has been dubbed "Free Shipping Day" with nearly 900 retailers participating on the official website.
There's no charge to ship on the 18th and there's no minimum purchase required. A link to the official "Free Shipping Day" website is posted at the end of this article, but first there's more information you should know.
