First Annual Free Delivery Day - Last Chance for Christmas Delivery

LONDON, December 17 - The first annual Free Delivery Day is the 18th of December 2009, marking
the last order date for Free Delivery before Christmas for many leading
online retailers. Free Delivery Day participating stores include Amazon UK,
Debenhams, House of Fraser, M&Co., New Look, O2 Shop, Tesco.com, Waterstones
and more. Over 300 retailers are offering a Free Delivery promotion on Free
Delivery Day with the Top 100 Free Delivery Day Offers being featured on
FreeDeliveryDay.co.uk

Matthew Cheng created Free Delivery Day because many shoppers did not
realize they could still get their gifts before Christmas without the hassle
and crowds of High Street. He noticed that online shopping would peak on
Cyber Monday and then wane for the rest of the holiday season. According to
Cheng, "This year, many online retailers have become more sophisticated with
their shipping schedules enabling shoppers to buy online later and still get
free delivery before Christmas. You can even stack money saving voucher codes
to get the best price."

According to Cheng's analysis:

28% of retailers have a final Free Delivery deadline of Friday 18
December.

26% of retailers have a final Free Delivery deadline of Monday 21
December.

13% of retailers have a final Free Delivery deadline of Wednesday 23
December.

11% of retailers have Click and Collect options with pickup until
Thursday 24 December.

The average free delivery order size is GBP 30 with many retailers
offering no minimums and express upgrades.

Cheng offered the following advice: "Don't wait until the last minute to
take advantage of free delivery offers since popular items may go out of
stock. If you still find yourself shopping at the last minute, the best
option is to use the Click and Collect feature at Argos, Currys, Homebase, PC
World, John Lewis and Marks & Spencer to reserve your gift."
