I ran across an article on Practical eCommerce which addresses the topic of free shipping. http://bit.ly/8dNDN9. That one describes some math behind shipping costs. But I think your article explains the psychological aspects of free shipping well. I also recently read an interview from the CEO of Overstock.com where he claims that women customers (presumably on his site) are more sensitive to shipping costs than men. I'll add your idea to my blog article on that topic. Good idea. I ran across an article on Practical eCommerce which addresses the topic of free shipping. http://bit.ly/8dNDN9.
