Indiana isn't that far away from Tennessee, so I'm sure it wouldn't be that much. I don't think I could offer free shipping, because the bear is rather big, about the size of a small jewelry box and that could mean big bucks to ship. Then again, I don't know much about shipping packages. Up until now I've only shipping items that could fit into a standard envelope. To answer your question, I would give free shipping if the bids go over 500.
