Shop.com announced that consumers can save up to $250 in shipping fees when they shop from more than one store at shop.com in a single shopping trip. The site is an online marketplace where consumers can shop from thousands of stores using a single account using Shop.com's Universal Shopping Cart. The company says customers find it easier to shop because Shop.com uses the same page layout category-to-category, store-to-store, and product-to-product.

Stores include Ashford.com, Blair, Bombay, Brookstone, CircuitCity.com, Coldwater Creek, eBags, Fossil, Frontgate, Hammacher Schlemmer, Harry and David, OfficeMax, Omaha Steaks, Overstock.com, RedEnvelope, Sharper Image, SmartBargains, Smith & Hawken, Target.com, and Ugg Australia.

Ordinarily, when a shopper buys products online from multiple merchants within Shop.com, each store ships the product directly to the buyer and charges an associated shipping fee. With the free shipping offer, when consumers purchase on Shop.com from more than one merchant in a single shopping trip, the shopper will pay only the first shipping cost, and Shop.com will apply a credit to the shopper's credit card for all additional stores' standard shipping charges of equal or lesser cost. The offer is good through the end of the year. Additional terms and conditions are explained by clicking on the free shipping offer on Shop.com's homepage.
