By curating that experience to only ShopRunner eligible items from ShopRunner participating retailers, our marketplace is truly differentiated and delivers a great experience for our members.”
In addition to the enhanced marketplace, the ShopRunner icon will also be visible on product information on TheFind.com, which surfaces 450 million items from 500,000 stores to more than 20 million shoppers every month. “Online shoppers want to save time and money, and together with ShopRunner we are delivering a compelling experience that does just that by making free two-day shipping, from a growing collection of today’s most popular retailers, easy to find,” said Siva Kumar, CEO of TheFind.
