Shipping & Returns 2020 -- updated Oct 2019 -- update pending

This is a list of stores offering free shipping for the holidays. Some stores also offer free shipping in both directions - delivery & returns. Return periods vary depending on the item being returned. Since we're only concerned with technology returns, only those dates will be listed. This list is linked in the OP. Let me know if I missed any stores.
