Best Buy Launches Free Next-Day Delivery on 'Thousands' of Items Through Christmas

About 99 percent of Best Buy customers are getting free next-day delivery on “thousands” of items through Christmas, said the retailer Tuesday. Excluded are “bigger and heavier” products such as 51-inch-and-larger TVs and refrigerators, it said. Customers who live where free next-day delivery isn’t available, or who order a product that doesn’t qualify, will still get free standard shipping on everything, Best Buy said, noting no membership is required. There’s no minimum purchase requirement for free standard shipping, but a $35 minimum purchase is necessary for free next-day delivery, said the website. Next-day delivery limitations may apply for Thanksgiving week, other promotional periods and for weekend orders, said Best Buy; free next-day delivery isn’t available Sundays. Same-day delivery is available in 42 U.S. metro cities for orders completed on BestBuy.com before 3 p.m. local time (2 p.m. local time on Sundays), noted the retailer; fees weren’t given in a FAQ section.
