Thanks for checking trstno1. I think you are right! I did find my most recent catalog and there was no mention of free shipping. It must have been in an earlier catalog. I went ahead and ordered anyway as I had to have that ballerina princess lamp for DD's nightstand and the Tinkerbell slides to take on my trip in two weeks. I even upgraded shipping to get the shoes here fast! So much for saving on shipping costs! LOL!
