With just three shopping days left until Christmas, online shoppers are running out of time to make their purchases and have the item arrive at its destination by in time to go under the tree. Best Buy Co. Inc. (NYSE: BBY) is letting shoppers know that online orders placed before 10:30 a.m. Central time Tuesday will continue to receive free two-day shipping and arrive by the holiday.
The offer does not extend to every item the store sells; eligible products will have the Expedited Shipping box checked in the customer’s shopping cart.
What’s available? Best Buy’s focus, as it has been since before the shopping season began, continues to be on beefing up sales of mobile devices, with a lot of emphasis on products from Apple. For example, an Apple iPad Air 2 with Wi-Fi connectivity and 64 gigabytes of memory (MGKL2LL/A) is selling for $474.99, a savings of $125 from the list price. This price has been around for a while.
One thing we haven’t seen before is a free HDTV. Best Buy is offering a 32-inch Samsung HDTV free with a purchase or lease of a Samsung Galaxy S6, S6 Edge, S6 Edge+ or Note 5 with a two-year contract, Sprint Lease or monthly installment plan from Verizon, AT&T or Sprint. Best Buy says the TV’s value is $229.99.

A Samsung 40-inch, 1080p, Smart HDTV (UN40J6200AFXZA) is available for $369.99 along with the free Expedited Shipping offer. The price is $130 below the usual price and is $10 lower than what the same TV sold for last week.
