Best Buy brings back free shipping for holidays
Best Buy is again offering free shipping on most purchases — with no minimum purchase requirement — during the holiday shopping season.
This freebie started this week and will be available through Dec. 24.
Generally, Best Buy requires online shoppers to spend a total of at least $35 to qualify for free shipping. It's one of a few retailers, however, that in recent years has started offering free shipping on everything during the holiday season.

Some scheduled delivery items
Items displaying "In Store Only" or "Check Stores"
If you plan to buy, or are considering buying, any electronics or other technology this holiday season, you might want to mark your calendar for Nov. 5. Best Buy also announced this week:
On Saturday, Nov. 5, customers can play with and score great deals on select Top Tech products and other must-have items at Best Buy's special holiday shopping events. From 1 p.m. to 5 p.m. local time, shoppers can interact with and get demonstrations of a range of Top Tech products, including Google Home, OverDryve, and more, in 400 stores across the U.S.
If you can't wait until then, you can score discounts on certain items on Best Buy's Top Tech of 2016 list now through Saturday, Oct. 29. That includes $100 off iPad Pro 9.7-inch and $100 off Lenovo Yoga 910.
