Roundup: Free shipping for Halloween costumes

Are you one of the 161 million people planning to celebrate Halloween this year? If you're going to purchase a costume from an online retailer, there are a slew of free shipping offers out there to keep in mind.

The following roundup is based on listings from FreeShipping.org, which catalogs such deals offered by online merchants. The free-shipping offers below are for standard shipping, and in most cases will take five to seven business days, so take that into account when placing your order. A costume that gets to you on Nov. 1 is of little use, and expedited shipping is not free.

Truly free Halloween shipping offers:

1. Pottery Barn Kids: Free shipping on all Halloween costumes and treat bags.
   
2. Pottery Barn Teen: Free shipping through Oct. 29 on all Halloween costumes.

Free shipping offers that require minimum purchase, starting with the cheapest:

1. BestCostumeSite.com: Free shipping on orders of $25 or more.
   
2. Costume Kingdom: Free shipping on orders of $50 or more.
   
3. Giant Party Store: Free shipping on $50 or more with coupon code 390261.
   
4. Halloween Mart: Free shipping on $55 or more with coupon code FREESHIPPING.
