Target.com today announced that it is providing its guests with a broader and deeper selection of free-shipping items this holiday season, including free shipping on more than 100,000 select items across the Target.com site when guests spend $50 or more on Target.com.

In addition to expanding the number of items available for free site-to-home shipping by 50 percent this holiday season, Target.com is also kicking off its holiday free-shipping promotion two weeks earlier than it did last year. This year’s holiday free-shipping event will begin Sunday, Nov. 1.

Target.com will also offer guests a 15 percent discount on all furniture orders of $125 or more from Nov. 1 to Dec. 20, 2009.

To ensure that Target.com shoppers receive their orders in time for the holidays, “estimated delivery dates” are provided for all items listed on Target.com.

“At Target.com, we are committed to being the go-to, budget-friendly, convenient shopping destination for our guests,” said Steve Eastman, president of Target.com. “By lengthening the duration of this year’s direct-to-home free-shipping event and expanding the number of items available for free shipping, we’re able to provide our guests with outstanding value while making the holiday shopping experience more convenient and affordable than ever.”
