Black Friday has become a global phenomenon and now it’s just around the corner. As usual, Amazon is leading the charge with an extended period of incredible deals: while the “official” Black Friday event is set for November 29, 2024, Amazon has already started its shopping event that rivals – and even surpasses – Prime Day.
This year, Amazon’s Black Friday celebration officially runs from November 21 to December 2, and encompasses Cyber Monday. However, you probably have noticed that the online retail giant has been rolling out massive discounts since the beginning of November, giving consumers a head start on their holiday shopping. Below is our list of all the best deals currently available this Sunday.
Top deals for Black Friday:
The History of Black Friday
The origins of Black Friday can be traced back to the 60s in Philadelphia where it was used to describe the heavy traffic on the day after Thanksgiving. Over time, it evolved into a major shopping event (thanks to Amazon, Walmart, Best Buy, etc.) and it now marks the unofficial start of the holiday shopping season. Retailers began offering huge discounts to attract customers and the tradition spread across the United States and eventually around the world.
Amazon has embraced this tradition wholeheartedly and transformed Black Friday into a multi-week event that caters to the diverse needs of its global customer base. This year’s early deals are terrific with discounts on popular tech brands that are sure to catch the eye of everybody: Apple products which hardly see any price cuts are among the standout deals this Black Friday season: this weekend, you can already enjoy massive discounts on MacBooks, iPads, AirTags, and AirPods.
Samsung is another tech giant participating in the Black Friday festivities with deals available both on Amazon and through their official website. From cutting-edge smartphones (Galaxy S24 Ultra, Galaxy Z Fold 6, Galaxy Z Flip 6, etc). to state-of-the-art televisions (QLED, Frame) and home appliances, Samsung’s product range is well-represented in the current Black Friday deals.
Amazon has also rolled out early Black Friday deals across its extensive range of in-house brands and products: from Echo smart speakers to Blink security cameras, Ring doorbells, Fire TV devices and Kindle e-readers, you can find huge discounts on a large range of popular items. With savings up to 80% on some items, Amazon is ensuring that you have ample opportunity to upgrade you tech at record low prices.
As the early Black Friday deals heat up, we’re already seeing some incredible discounts that are too good to miss: EcoFlow portable power stations are slashing prices by almost 50%; Roborock robot vacuums are experiencing massive price cuts up to 60%; gaming fans can rejoice with 10% discounts on PlayStation, Xbox, and Roblox gift cards and Samsung SSDs are experiencing dramatic price reductions between 40% and 70%. Perhaps most exciting is the newly released Mac Mini 2024 which is already available with a 10% discount using a special coupon.
Extended Return Policy at Amazon
One of the most consumer-friendly aspects of Amazon’s Black Friday event this year is the extended return policy. Many shoppers are buying gifts for the holiday season, that’s why Amazon has adjusted its usual 30-day return window: for items purchased from November 1, 2024, the return window extends all the way to January 31, 2025. It means you can shop with confidence, knowing you can return or exchange gifts after the holiday season if necessary. The extended return period is very beneficial for those who like to get their Christmas shopping done early: it eliminates the worry of gifts being non-returnable by the time they’re opened on Christmas Day.
Taking advantage of this weekend’s early deals is a smart move: Amazon is now spreading out its discounts throughout the month rather than concentrating them on a single day. This strategic shift helps manage logistics more effectively but it also means that today’s deals may not be available tomorrow or during the official Black Friday. If you’re waiting for the main event, it could lead you to miss out on some of the best offers.
