Perks of Procrastination

For many online retailers, Thursday, Dec. 18 represents the last possible 24-hour period when online shoppers can place their orders with guaranteed delivery by Christmas Eve. Some merchants looking to vie for the attention of these last-minute shoppers are partnering with www.freeshipping.org for its first annual Free Shopping Day event.

Retailers already on board include: Bloomingdale's, Circuit City, Macy's, J.C. Penney, Crate & Barrel, Eddie Bauer, Kmart, Nordstrom, Sears, Sur La Table, Target, eBags and Zappos.

How's that for rewarding those who put off holiday shopping?
