So I have been really reluctant to post about Shoprunner because it just seems really expensive to me. But I keep hearing raves about it from those that have signed up and today you can get the service for about 50% off.
Shoprunner is a subscription service- you pay for one year and then you get free 2 day shipping at a variety of merchants. It is sort of like Prime on Amazon- except this is not limited to just one site. You get free shipping from numerous sites like Toys R Us, Borders, Beauty.com and more…
There is no minimum purchase required to use the service- so if you wanted a $5 book from Borders for example, if you have the Shoprunner service you get that delivered in 2 days for free.
If you shop online frequently this might be a nice perk- it is normally a $79 charge for one year. Today, Rue La La is offering the exact same year membership for $39. I am thinking this would really come in handy around Christmas time and since gas is $4/gallon in my area I am trying to shop online as much as possible these days.
So you can head over to Shoprunner to have a look at all the stores they work with. If you decide this is for you, head over to Rue La La to purchase your membership.
If anyone already has experience with Shoprunner let us know what you think!

I just signed up for a free trial with them when I purchased something from Toys R Us to get free shipping. The free trial lasts 30 days and if I do not cancel it- they will charge me $79— YIKES!! So needless to say, I will be canceling it but I do love the free trial!

I free trialed this last winter for some items at Toysrus. Did not realize that it only covers the cost of expidited shipping. Meaning, if Toysrus charges $XX.XX for their shipping, you still have to pay it even though now you will receive your product quicker. It seemed to be similar to Amazon prime where you pay once and then shipping is free for the rest of the year. But it isn’t.
