Last minute shoppers who have stayed on the sidelines until this final shopping weekend can still turn to the Web for help meeting the holiday deadline. The new comparison shopping engine, myTriggers.com (www.mytriggers.com) today announced a convenient search function that lists ONLY merchants from which consumers can shop online and pick-up merchandise at the store in time for Christmas.

“Even though the shipping cut-off date has passed for most retailers, consumers can still use the Web to find what they want at the price they want to pay, hit click to buy, then simply go to their local store to pick up the item in minutes,” said Glenn S. Meyers, an online shopping expert and founder and CEO of myTriggers.com. “For consumers who are averse to the crowds and lines at the mall this Saturday, the biggest shopping day of the year, online shopping is the way to go.”

myTriggers.com’s unique search function harnesses the offer by many big-box stores, including Circuit City and Best Buy, that if you buy something online and bring in the receipt, you can pick up the item in mere minutes. For instance, Circuit City is enabling consumers to shop for last minute gifts with the following easy steps:

• Add item to online cart
• Select closest location
• Receive confirmation email
• Print confirmation email and bring it with credit card you used and photo ID
• Order ready in 24 minutes or you get a free $24 gift card
• Last day for in-store pickup: 12/24

With instant access to more than 100 million items from more than 1 million online sellers such as Wal-Mart, Sony, Apple, Office Depot, Overstock.com, Amazon.com, Buy.com, as well as eBay, myTriggers.com offers the most competitive prices on the Web and empowers consumers with the tools to get them quickly. Since myTriggers.com is connected directly to merchants’ real-time inventory—not to Web bots or spiders—consumers get pricing on items that are actually in stock.
