Sears.com Unveils International Shipping to 90 Countries Just in Time for the Holidays

       ANOTHER BENEFIT OF SEARS' INNOVATIVE SHOPYOURWAY(TM) CAMPAIGN

    HOFFMAN ESTATES, Ill., Nov. 23 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- For anyone
looking to ship that perfect holiday gift to friends or family overseas,
Sears.com now offers international shipping to 90 countries, providing yet
another convenient option for customers to get everything they need this
holiday, where and when they need it. Customers can choose from over
300,000 products in a variety of categories including tools, children's and
infant clothing, shoes, jewelry, and home fashions, and can have it
delivered to locations all around the globe as Sears.com expands its reach
to major markets such as the UK, France, Germany, Spain, China, India,
Japan, Argentina and Brazil.

    "We are excited to offer this new international shipping option to our
customers," said Imran Jooma, senior vice president for Online at Sears
Holdings. "With our large product assortment and the capability to ship
products internationally, we hope to make shopping easier and more
convenient, both for customers in the U.S. with friends and family
overseas, and for international customers who would like to purchase
products from Sears.com."

    The international shipping option provides customers a variety of tools
to make shopping simple. Sears.com offers an international filter that
allows customers to select only the items that are available for shipping
to their selected destination. The eligible items for shipping are
identified by the special globe icon located next to the products. And for
Spanish speaking customers, Sears.com has an integrated Spanish language
site to help make their online shopping easier. This site can be found at
http://www.sears.com/espanol.

    Friends and family of military personnel who are abroad on active duty
will be able to have gifts shipped to their stations. Sending gifts to
loved ones through APO/FPO addresses can still be processed through the
traditional Sears.com site and gifts can be delivered just in time for the
upcoming holiday season by simply shopping as a U.S. customer and using
U.S. currency.

    In order to receive holiday purchases by December 25, 2009, orders must
be placed by 11:59 p.m. CST on November 30, 2009. Customers can start
shopping today at http://www.sears.com/international.

    "Sears is committed to making holiday shopping simple," added Jooma.
"Our ShopYourWay(TM) campaign transforms the shopping experience and gives
customers the flexibility to quite literally 'shop their way.' And now,
we're extending that 'way' around the world."
