“You can now order your iPad online and ship it to your home for free!” Best Buy has announced. “It's also available in all Best Buy stores. Prices start at $499.99,” the giant retailer states on its web site.

With Best Buy’s announcement live, Apple has added one more online store as an iPad sales channel. Previously, customers were only able to purchase iPads at BestBuy as reservations for in-store pickup.

The retailer now carries all six models of Apple tablet (WiFi version and WiFi +3G version in 16GB, 32GB, and 64GB configurations for each).

Best Buy sells them adding $0.99 to the “suggested retail price” but does ship for free within The States.

BestBuy.com ships the tablet in 6 to 10 business days, and guarantees delivery of the WiFi-only model before Christmas.

America's giant retailer highlights the following key features for the WiFi version of Apple’s slate-shaped portable computer:
