With fuel costs and shipping prices going through the roof, more than a few
online stores are going the extra mile to eat some of these burdens for you. Whether they build
the shipping cost into the product price ahead of time or charge just a small flat fee to ship any order,
these online stores are making it possible for snowboarders, skateboarders and surfers
everywhere to get quality gear shipped to their doors for free.
Most stores will also let the customer
know how long it will take for your order to process and ship from their warehouse, as
sometimes these "economy" shipping options can take a couple of weeks.
Occasionally there are exceptions to free shipping offers related to oversized items and shipping
orders overseas or to military addresses. It's always best to read a store's shipping policies
if your address is a bit out of the ordinary. If you're looking to save a much coin as you
can this fall on your gear and gifts, this little guide will help point you in the right direction.
Another good factor to note when bargain hunting is which online stores charge sales tax in your
state. Avoiding sales tax on high ticket items like
surfboards, snowboards and skateboards can save you upwards of $50 an order. Knowing which state the
store charges sales tax in is often an indicator as to where
your order is being shipped from, unless it was
drop shipped. This can give you a good
idea of how far your order has to travel and how long it will take. There are a few
online stores located in Oregon, one state that does not charge sales tax to its
residents or to customers out of state. Here is a list of online
retailers that have ongoing free shipping offers which require no special coupon or code.
Sometimes these stores will even have better free shipping offers than what are listed below, so make sure
