Love the convenience of online holiday shopping, but hate those horrid shipping costs? Now you can get your favorite As Seen On TV products shipped FREE… from Walmart.
Walmart has kicked off the holiday season early this year by getting rid of something all online shoppers hate: shipping costs. From now until December 20th, over 60,000 products can be purchased at Walmart.com and either shipped directly to your home or the nearest Walmart store for free. Even sweeter is that unlike certain popular online shopping sites, there is no minimum purchase or annual fee required for free shipping.
If the product is marked “Free shipping to home” it will be delivered to your door 3 to 5 business days after your order is processed. If it is marked “Site to Store” Walmart sends you an email when your order is ready for pickup, usually 7 to 10 business days after order processing. Return shipping is also free, or you can return online orders to a local Walmart store. According to the company, this special free shipping offer will save Walmart customers approximately $25 million this holiday season.
So slip into your PJs, pour a glass of your favorite beverage and get your holiday shopping done without leaving the house – and without shelling out the big bucks for shipping. You can relax as the gift Camouflage Snuggie and AB Circle Pro Machine are delivered to your door. Or you can cross off all your holiday list with one-stop-shopping when you pick up the Swivel Sweeper G2 for your spouse and those cute Pillow Pets for the kids at your local Walmart. Best of all, with the money you save on shipping, you can afford that comfy Sobakawa Micro-Bead Cloud Pillow for yourself. You deserve it – your holiday shopping is done, and it’s not even Thanksgiving yet!

Even during Memorial Day weekend, Gadgetglanman7 finds time to upload Pitchmen episode six. I don’t want to be critical of consummate professionals Billy Mays and Anthony Sullivan, but watching this episode was not the most exciting 60 minutes of my life. The Grabit damaged screw extractor is an effective and useful product. I was amazed at how long it took to perfect the product and how complicated it is to manufacture. But I wonder if it’s really a good product to promote using direct marketing. For the handyman, it seems like something you might not order in advance, but would wait to purchase when first need. The Tool Band-it is also a solid product, but not so wow-inspiring either. Watch and judge for yourself.

The Tool Band-it, as featured on the May 20 episode of Discovery Channel’s Pitchmen with Billy Mays and Anthony Sullivan (10 p.m. EDT on Discovery Channel. See your TV schedule for encore broadcasts), brings to mind several possible uses. For the uninformed, the Tool Band-it is a black fabric cuff that straps around your upper arm like a blood pressure cuff. The intended use is to hold tools and small items such as nails and screws, facilitated by magnets sewn into the fabric.
But wait, there’s more! Since it’s black, you can wear it to indicate mourning for a recently departed loved one. Since it has magnets, it just might help with aches and pains from arthritis. In the commercial, Billy demonstrates that the Tool Band-it’s powerful magnets will hold a 25 lb. weight. So strap one of these on each arm, attach the weights, and go about your daily routine. In no time, you’ll have biceps like Mr. Universe! Can’t find your holster? Use it to carry your handgun and ammo. Wear it under your shirt and you now have a way to stealthily erase hard drives and other magnetic digital media. The usefulness of the Tool Band-it is truly boundless.
