  1. Hey the gas prices are doing great things for e-commerce. People don’t want to leave home because it’s costing 3 times what it used to for a quick run to the local Best Buy or Target. Works for us!

  2. Will be interesting to see how awareness of free or discounted shipping offers increases as gas prices motivate more shoppers online. Often, merchants – particularly in the clothing and apparel space – offer free shopping codes to attract customers. This offers helps shoppers save both by avoiding the pinch at the pump and by forgoing the shipping fee when shopping online.
