"If you&amp;#039;ve dawdled all of December away and still need to buy Christmas gifts, listen up. Starting tonight at midnight and continuing for 24 hours, shoppers will get free shipping on all their purchases at 700 participating merchants, including Best Buy and Nordstrom\u2014with guaranteed delivery by Christmas Eve! (See a full list of merchants here.) The event, founded by Luke Knowles of FreeShipping.org in 2007, is in its second year. &amp;quot;The online shopping industry peaks too early,&amp;quot; says Knowles. &amp;quot;As the holidays approach, people stop shopping because they&amp;#039;re scared their purchases won&amp;#039;t be delivered on time for Christmas.&amp;quot; The day, he explains, is meant to spike the online shopping industry through the holidays\u2014when people tend to drop their mice and hit the malls. Over 150 thousand people visited FreeShipping.org last year, but with twice the participating merchants, numbers are expected to soar this year. The merchants keep track of their own orders, so Knowles wasn&amp;#039;t able to give me a number, but assured me that I could &amp;quot;just say a lot.&amp;quot; I believe it! For more details about each merchant (some require discount codes and minimum purchases), visit FreeShipping.org, where you can also find near 2,000 free shipping coupons provided by partners with allowed use any day of the year. Happy online shopping! "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
