The following conditions apply:

This promotion does not apply to orders shipped to Alaska, Hawaii, Puerto Rico and U.S. Protectorates and other locations outside the continental United States or to orders shipped to P.O. Boxes and APOs.

"Free Delivery" applies to shipping and handling expenses on purchases of qualifying items.

The $100 minimum purchase is calculated after all other discounts are applied (including everyday Member Discounts, organizational discounts, and/or coupons). Charges relating to shipping, handling, gift-wrapping, downloading PDFs from SparkNotes and Quamut, Magazines, and taxes will not be included to meet the $100 minimum.

*Qualifying items are items that are marked both "Get FREE shipping" and "Usually ships within 24 hours." Orders for the following items ship separately and will not qualify for Free Delivery:  Gift Cards, unusually sized or overweight items, products sold or offered by third parties (e.g., Used & Out of Print Books and PC & Video Games), and any items not marked "Get FREE shipping." These non-qualifying items will be charged shipping and handling fees.

The Free Delivery offer will not apply to any order where cancellations or returns reduce the amount of qualifying purchases to less than $100; Barnes & Noble.com reserves the right to charge applicable shipping and handling costs to any such orders.

Due to limited supplies, some items marked on Barnes & Noble.com as "Usually ships within 24 hours" will ship later and therefore your order will not arrive in time for Christmas.  Please check your order confirmation email or Order Status on our website to confirm delivery expectation.

This offer is subject to change or discontinuation without notice; we will, however, honor properly placed orders with valid methods of payment with sufficient funds placed prior to such change or discontinuation.

The offer is (i) not redeemable for cash or cash equivalents (including Gift Cards and online Gift Certificates), (ii) not valid on past purchases, and (iii) not valid at Barnes & Noble retail stores or Barnes & Noble College Bookstores. Void where prohibited by law.

Please Note: FREE Delivery to Manhattan, NY, is available for qualifying orders placed up to 11 a.m. ET on Dec. 24.
