Christmas is approaching, and with it also a fever for purchases and gifts. But as we all know, the best opportunities are certainly not made a few days before the event, but almost a month before.
What are we talking about? Of the famous Black Friday, which, literally translated from the American, means ” Black Friday, ” but it is not a bad day at all, on the contrary!
This is a special day of sales in which most of the global trade giants are working to offer unique and interesting offers to push people to buy, even given Christmas. Over the past years, what is a real ” craze ” of Black Friday, thanks to Amazon, as you know, number one in terms of online sales.
So let’s see how to make good deals on Amazon, on the occasion of this special day.
When and where to find offers
The date to be scored is that of the last Friday in November, which follows on Thursday, date unknown to us since it refers to the Thanksgiving Day, one of the most felt national holidays and is held last Thursday of November.

Black Friday: a bit of history
Before going to see how to make the most of the discounts, give us a quick introduction. Black Friday was born in the USA even in the 20s thanks to the idea of the chain of Macy’s stores that made big discounts to kick off Christmas purchases and to bring the accounts of companies quickly into profit. But it is in the 80s that the phenomenon has taken hold evermore, spreading to other States, both American and European.
How Sales work
But what exactly happens on Black Friday? It is a day of sales that has the distinction of taking place at the beginning of the shopping season rather than at the end. There is a very wide selection of articles since the discounts are on the Christmas arrivals and not on the ” leftovers ” of the after-holidays. While the normal sales mainly concern clothing, the Black Friday discounts embrace every category of goods and above all technological items, for the home and toys.
Do you know those services to the news that show in New York dozens of people in the cold to wait for the opening of the various stores? Here, that is Black Friday, which fortunately for us maybe a day much more comfortable! The phenomenon of Black Friday is linked to online sales, thanks to the intense days of discounts promoted by Amazon, which offers thousands of items even below cost.
Lately, in the wake of success, even traditional chains and even neighborhood stores have started making promotions on the last Friday in November but, frankly, for now, you cannot compete with the choice and convenience of Amazon, which offers in that day products of each category with real discounts up to 50% and over.
Until a few years ago Black Friday only took place during the 24 hours of Friday, so it was particularly important to follow the offers that were offered during the day: in recent years the offers are extended to the whole weekend to end the day of Cyber Monday … and what’s this ?!
Cyber Monday (by Amazon)
This other day of discounts falls on the Monday following the ” Black Friday. ” It is a day of sales invented by online shopping chains and dedicated exclusively to the offers of electronic items such as smartphones, computers, cameras, and so on. Even on the occasion of the ” Cyber Monday ” you will find excellent offers on Amazon, for the online sales giant it is a sort of ” reply ” of Black Friday, in which anyway items of any type are discounted.
TAKE NOTE : the next Cyber Monday will be: Monday 23 November 2018

How to search for offers on Black Friday Deals
On this particular day, it is better to browse Amazon through the pages of Black Friday, which collect offers for discount and duration, even if in the category of a little sparse category. This is a somewhat different way of shopping online, similar to that of going to shop windows and observing what is proposed by shopkeepers.
It can happen that you find at an incredible price an item that you had discarded from your shopping list because it is always too expensive, or that you are tempted by the discount to buy an object similar to the one you were looking for. But above all, you can make you come up with many ideas for Christmas gifts!
How long are the discounts?
Typically, in every special promotion article, there is written until the promo lasts. Many articles on Black Friday will remain on offer all the time until the end of Cyber Monday, with special discounts for the electronic part regarding Monday.
Some of the offers put online by Amazon will be referred to as Limited Time Offers ( ” flash ” offers) as they will only appear for a limited time, as well as those that will only be available for 24 hours.
But unlike the Prime Day where the articles remain in special discount even for just an hour, we reiterate that most of the Black Friday articles will remain discounted and available until the end of the offer coinciding with Cyber Monday.

Rather, be careful that the discounted item is not sold out! Consider that the items with big discounts are put in prominence on the site, and you will certainly not be the only ones to keep an eye on them, better than grab them immediately.
One important thing: it will not happen that an item increases its discount during Black Friday, so do not hesitate to buy it as soon as possible.
Shipping and Delivery Times
The purchase of the item on offer will be shipped from Amazon in the time indicated, but considering that these are items shipped directly from Amazon, generally, the delivery is rapid and will take place on Monday or Tuesday.
Needless to say, if you want to buy on Amazon, it is strongly recommended to join the Amazon Prime subscription, which will allow you to receive your purchase, if available, within a day without having to pay shipping costs.
Moreover, the subscription to Amazon Prime will give you the opportunity to access the ” Prime Day ” offers, which often, are even cheaper than those of Black Friday, since you will find articles at a price, to say the least tattered.
