    In case you haven't heard of it, Shoprunner is an Amazon Prime competitor. It offers 2 day free shipping on all orders from any of its member retailers. Of specific importance to us folks here on NBR is Newegg. Radioshack and Ebags may apply in certain cases and are on the list as well. Most of the other stores (quite a few) sell other things like clothing, shoes, etc.. I can't access the rest of the list right now because the site is getting hammered from this promotion, haha. Normal price is $80 per year, but this limited promo through Facebook gives you it for FREE!

    ShopRunner - Today: Free Membership | Facebook
    Again, the site is getting hammered like crazy so it will likely take a while for you to get in. It took me the last 15 minutes. Don't let the errors bother you, I finally got the site to load and my submission through 2 minutes ago. This promo will likely be gone pretty quickly so if you want in, you should move fast!

    EDIT:     The deal is back on for today (Dec 9)! FYI, the payment info is optional.

    There is good news if people are interested in this. They just posted this on their Facebook page:

    So, if it's not working for you now, check back later.

    I got to the page but every time I click the activate button I get a message saying action is not currently available. Figure that is because of the high traffic and not the fact that I have had a free membership before.

    Edit: Nope, apparently your account is tied to your physical address. Oh well.

    Nevermind. It worked but apparently it was just being laggy when it was saying it didn't. Nice

    Lol free 2 day shipping from Dominos pizza ..


    It's always funny how things that are free still require you to input a Credit Card.
