Join the KAMsnaps.com Free Ship Club & Receive Free US Shipping for a Year

KAMsnaps.com always tries to provide you with the best value. We've been offering free Priority US shipping on orders of at least $28 for years and have recently introduced free shipping to Canada. We also provide discounted shipping rates to numerous international destinations (much lower than what we actually pay for shipping) and have just lowered the shipping rate for very small US orders to just $3.

But wouldn't it be nice to completely eliminate shipping costs? If you're a US resident, now you can by joining our Free Shipping Club. Offered at an introductory membership price of just $20 (for a limited time only), you'll never have to pay shipping on any of your orders, no matter how small, again--for an entire year.

This is not only a great deal in general but also offers the convenience of ordering just what you need when you need it instead of trying to save up your orders so that you can meet our free shipping threshold. Did you just place a large order only to realize you forgot to add a color of snaps? As a Free Shipping Club member, it's no big deal--you pay nothing extra to have that single color shipped separately.

At this time, membership to the Free Shipping Club is limited to US residents only.

Available at: http://www.kamsnaps.com/Free-Ship-Club-Other-Options-c31/. Additional information and restrictions are provided on the product page.

Sweet Cheeks Diaper Kits Spotlight

Sweet Cheeks Diaper Kits is an all volunteer non-profit organization whose mission is to provide low-income families in the NC Triad area with free cloth diapers and supplies. Cloth diapers are less expensive, better for the environment, and are reusable.

From Shane Morris, founder & CEO of Sweet Cheeks:
"We began making cloth diapers from recycled t-shirts in August of 2010. There is currently no federal, state or local assistance for diapers (cloth OR disposable). We are partnering with local WIC offices to supply cloth diaper kits to families in need. There is currently a waiting list for diaper kits."

Sweet Cheeks has an ongoing need of used 100% cotton t-shirts, new or used diapers, detergent, diaper cream, fabric, and other supplies. You can also attend their monthly Diaper Derby in Greensboro, NC. To learn more about Sweet Cheeks and how you can help, visit Sweet Cheeks Diaper Kits on Facebook.

Sweet Cheeks Diaper Kits is now listed as an approved charity on the KAMsnaps Plastic Snaps for Charities page.
