Toysrus.com To Offer Free Shipping In November
|
 Toysrus.com, a leading online retailer of children's products on the Internet, announced today its plan to offer customers free shipping for a limited time in November. The promotion provides an extra incentive to shop early in order to get this year's hot products that may be in limited supply later this season. Amazon.com, which teamed with Toysrus.com in August to create a co-branded toy store, handles shipping for all toy and video game orders from their distribution network. The special offer, which begins this week and runs through November 22, is available on all toy and/or video game orders of $100 or more. Shoppers will find more details in the annual Toys R Us Big Book, distributed this week to millions of consumers via newspapers and in Toys R Us stores. ``The free shipping offer is a great opportunity for customers to get everything they need on their holiday gift list ordered before Thanksgiving while saving money as well,'' said Greg Ahearn, vice president of marketing, Toysrus.com. ``It's the best time to shop for the hottest toys that may be hard to find as we get closer to Christmas.'' Free shipping orders for in-stock items will be sent via standard delivery service, and will normally arrive within seven to ten business days from the order date. The promotion does not include overnight or rush delivery charges. Free shipping will be offered to destinations anywhere within the continental United States, Hawaii, Alaska or Puerto Rico. Toysrus.com does not ship products internationally. Holiday Convenience and Reliability The new Toysrus.com, teamed with Amazon.com site, combines the strengths of the world's No.1 toy retailer with the world's leading online retailer, bringing consumers the best of both worlds in time for the holidays. Toysrus.com, the most recognized toy brand in the world, will offer consumers the largest selection of the hottest products on the Internet at great prices. Amazon.com will provide their expertise to manage all aspects of the online shopping experience, including site features and content, customer service and delivery.
