Something else I heard when I was back in Maine: the large Maine-based mail-order giant L.L. Bean is offering free shipping for the holiday season, with no minimum purchase required. Although I can’t find anything about it on the web, I also heard their sales were way up. Of course, Amazon’s been doing the same thing (for orders under $25) for some time now.
