That I cannot give you an exact answer because, my fiance tried it on his lap top and the monitor is too thick. So as long as you have a very thin monitor it should work. Otherwise it isn't going to. Free shipping is likely, I will have to get back to you on that.
I wish :I had more of an answer to give you, but since I have never used the camera myself because it never fit my monitor I cannot give you answer. The only thing that I can recommend is for you to check out my other auction with a newer webcam that I have. :) http://www.listia.com/auction/6361474-creative-labs-live-cam-sync-w-headset
This particular webcam is an much older version of the newer one. This one is much smaller and it fits a very thin monitor vs the other one which is newer and it should fit on top of any monitor.
