Black Friday, the biggest shopping event of the year, will take place on November 23. We have already shared some useful tips, which might help you to get the best deals. Now, we offer you the list of the most popular retailers supporting the Black Friday and Cyber Monday shopping frenzy.

AliExpress

A lot of people call Aliexpress Black Friday and Cyber Monday the most interesting and beneficial sale, despite the fact that there is no complete list of all Black Friday deals. Almost everybody is familiar with this term nowadays, and this term became popular far beyond the USA. Aliexpress sometimes offers up to 70% off deals, and it’s great, but you have to remember that there are a lot of unscrupulous retailers, who jack up prices right before the long-awaited Friday. Thus, their deals seem to be really fabulous. AliExpress is a marketplace that is full of such sellers, so a buyer has to be attentive to avoid being fooled.

When does it start?

It starts the next day after Thanksgiving Day in the USA, which is celebrated on the fourth Thursday of November. Aliexpress hasn’t changed the rules, so the sale starts on November 23, and it will end on November 26. However, that’s not all. The nearest Monday after Black Friday (and weekend, of course) is called Cyber Monday, and it will start on November 26, and end on November 28. During this period the site promises discounts of up to 90%. For instance, if a smartphone-like Xiaomi or Meizu costs $228, its price can be $120-$150.

Aliexpress also claims that it will be the biggest and the most grandiose sale of the year. So, we look forward to seeing what they are going to offer.

Which stores are involved in the sale?

First and foremost, it all is about Aliexpress. There will be many others, but they still are not listed precisely.

Shoppers will be able to buy goods of the following categories:

  • Consumer electronics
  • Smartphones and accessories
  • Womenswear
  • Menswear
  • Footwear
  • Jewelry
  • House and garden products etc.

Amazon

This company knows for certain what Black Friday means, and it differs from other Black Friday retailers. The first point is that Amazon offers its sales online-only. The second point is that Amazon also doesn’t have a conventional Black Friday advert. Instead of releasing a print ad for the Biggest Shopping Day of the Year, Amazon releases new deals every hour starting the week of Black Friday. While it may be more challenging to plan your Black Friday shopping without an ad from Amazon, the number of deals and deep discounts on items across the website more than makes up for it.

Amazon Black Friday Deals

If somebody doesn’t know where to buy something, their first thought is “check Amazon.” Actually, no less than 50% of online shoppers go straight to Amazon for goods searches. There’s a reason why our minds automatically default to this ubiquitous, yet most frequently used online retailer. Amazon always offers an unbelievable number of products.

Amazon revealed a preview of its Black Friday Deals Week, which offers shoppers deeper discounts and more selection this year, with deals in every department starting November 16, until November 23 (Black Friday). Whether a customer is readying their house for the holidays or searching for gift-giving inspiration, they will find incredible savings and fast, free shipping options on the hottest items across multiple categories.

According to a recent survey commissioned by Amazon and conducted online by The Harris Poll, roughly 3 in 5 U.S. holiday shoppers (61%) say they enjoy the thrill-of-the-hunt aspect of trying to find a deal when holiday shopping. Customers can come to the Sneak Peek page on the Amazon App to stay tuned for upcoming deals. Additionally, customers can receive $5 off selected Black Friday deals just by trying camera search features such as product search or the barcode scanner (the point at an item or barcode to instantly receive search results). Or by using Amazon’s augmented reality feature – AR View – to see what hundreds of thousands of products look like in their home before buying.

Customers can shop thousands of deals across every department, with new deals added daily. Every “special deal” listed item is available for free shipping with no minimum purchase amount on orders that arrive in time for Christmas – offering the largest selection of free shipping in the country. What you should also know is that Prime members get exclusive early access to select and buy Amazon device deals.

So, the most popular and demanded categories are: Amazon Devices, Electronics, Toys, Fashion, Household and Home Furnishings, Smart Home, Gaming, Audible, Music & Books, Pets Goods, Sports & Outdoors, and Automotive Items.
