Due to the coronavirus pandemic, it’s likely you’ll be doing more of your holiday shopping online, whether it’s for last-minute gifts or holiday dinner supplies. Fortunately, many retailers offer free delivery so you can get everything you need for the holidays without having to leave your home.
Take advantage of these retailers and services that offer free shipping, so you can shop safely without having to worry about extra fees. Just make sure to order your gifts soon so you get them on time.
