The widespread availability of free shipping on items bought online makes it seem silly to ever pay for shipping again. Free Shipping On . . . makes it easier to find items that come with free shipping.

1. Go to freeshippingon.com.

2. If you are looking for something on Amazon or eBay, click on the logo for the site you want to use.

3. Enter the name of the item you are searching for in the search box and select the appropriate option from the drop-down menu. You can choose to search the entire site or only specific categories, such as books or video games. Click on "Search" or "Go" to return a list of items with free shipping that match your search.

4. You can also use the service to find free shipping coupons for more than 500 other retailers. To do this, click on the "Free Shipping Coupons" tab on the upper right corner of the site.

5. Click on the logo of a store or scroll down to see the list of all stores and coupons. When you find a coupon you like, click on the link and you will be taken to that retailer's Web site. Keep in mind that some of the coupons may be expired.
