After Walmart announced that they expect their biggest Black Friday ever, they recently unveiled their new shipping options for the 2013 Black Friday season.

Orders of $50 or more will qualify for free shipping. Orders under $50 will be charged a flat rate of $4.97, but shoppers can alternatively request a free in-store pickup at their local Walmart.

In previous years, Walmart's shipping costs were quite pricy, pushing shoppers to shop in-store rather than online. With these new shipping options, we are sure things will change this year and expect Walmart's online sales to boom this Black Friday season.

Walmart has just released its annual Top Toy List, and this year they took special care to seek out opinions from experienced product experts: kids! Walmart enlisted the help of 1000 kids of ages 18 months to ten years old to test, play with, and select their favorite toys. You can learn more about the top toys and their selection process here.
