<p>Detailing plans for holiday shopping (both online and in-store), Target <a href="https://corporate.target.com/press/releases/2016/10/target-unveils-holiday-2016-plans-including-more-w" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">announced</a> that free holiday shipping (and returns) started this week with plans to <strong>run through January 1, 2017</strong>.</p>
<p>Rather than limiting free shipping to just before Christmas like Best Buy, anyone that purchases an item at Target will be able to return it after the gift-giving holiday and get a new item shipping for free to their home.</p>
<p>Detailed in the fine print, free shipping will be standard shipping speeds to the 48 contiguous states as well as APO/FPO. In some cases, an over-sized handing fee may apply to large items that are purchased through Target&#8217;s site. Other promotion offering by Target in November will include promotional coupons for specific sections of the site as well as many Cartwheel deals.</p>
<p>This makes Target the second major retailer to announce free shipping for the holidays, following Best Buy earlier in the week. Best Buy&#8217;s free shipping period runs up until December 24, 2016.</p>
<p>Walmart <a href="https://news.walmart.com/2016/10/27/walmart-unveils-holiday-plans-invests-in-pickup-introduces-holiday-helpers" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">also announced</a> holiday plans this week, but <strong>without any free shipping promotion</strong>. Instead, Walmart is focusing on relocating existing staff to help customers get same-day pickup items faster as well as adding additional products to the catalog of same-day pickup items.</p>
