I.LOVE.SHOPRUNNER. Seriously love. I've been with them for several years now, and as of now have saved $387 in shipping fees alone. $8 is an amazing deal for membership -- I'd jump on it in a heartbeat if I wasn't already a member!
thank you OP i just signed up, did it from ebates too to get my % back on living social. i was shopping on lord&taylor as they have some amazing prices on clearance items, and the $8 was less than what they wanted to charge me for standard ground!
A few years ago I signed up free for a year...then every year, it expires and they keep renewing it for free. I'd never pay for it. Well, maybe I'd pay $8 but definitely not more than that since most stores these days offer free shipping.
I just hate that only certain items at Toys R Us & other stores qualify for Shoprunner...it's not free Shoprunner shipping on everything. It drives me nuts.
