The last time I remember them having free shipping (on games) that wasn't part of some special promtion was before Sep 2004. I made a purchase right at that point and got irked I had to pay for shipping on the item. The last few times I've bitched out BB at the corporate level, I've suggested to them that they need to get their shipping prices in line with their competitors, and mentioned them by name more than once.
CC.com does free shipping on $25 or more in purchases.
Unless BB.com has it for such a good price that the shipping charges become moot, I only do stuff from BB.com that is in-store pickup-able. Their packaging for boxes sucks, their shipping charges are a joke, and their customer service are a bunch of mindless jerks who'll be first against the wall when the revolution comes.
