Many online merchants will offer free shipping during certain holidays and also if you purchase a certain amount of items. The free shipping only applies to domestic/U.S. portion of your shipping costs. The cost to ship your packages from the online merchant's warehouse to the USA2Everywhere warehouse in the U.S. would be free. However, you would still need to pay the cost to ship your package from the USA2Everywhere U.S. warehouse to your local country. Even though the free offer does not include all of your shipping costs, it is still a good offer and will lower your overall cost to purchase goods online.
