Amazon Black Friday FAQ
When will Amazon's Black Friday sales start?
Amazon's 2024 Black Friday sales event starts on Thursday 21 November and runs through to the end of play Monday 2 December (Cyber Monday). There will also be plenty of early Black Friday deals available in the build up.
Black Friday itself is 29 November this year.
Are Amazon's Black Friday deals better than the Prime Day and Prime Big Deal Days sales?
In previous years, we've seen larger discounts during Amazon's Black Friday sale than during other periods and that's largely the same again this time. What tends to vary is the wider coverage of products, with a much larger focus across more categories.
Will Amazon's Black Friday deals get better as the days go on?
Amazon rarely drops prices further over the Black Friday sales, although you might see more products receive discounts as the period progresses. It sometimes holds some items back as, like most retailers, it tends to save its best deals for the big day itself.
Of course, Amazon has largely been in full-on deals mode since the first Prime Day in the summer. And we've also only recently had the Prime Big Deal Days event, so the bargains seem to be rolling on.
Should I expect shipping delays during Amazon's Black Friday sale?
Bar the pandemic years, Amazon has been great in getting Black Friday deliveries to customers quickly, especially those with Prime membership.
However, as the sales progress, you might find that certain products have a longer arrival date as delivery slots are overrun.
Let's not forget, many of the couriers work for multiple retailers, not just Amazon. And, with Black Friday being a more universal sales event it means there are plenty of deliveries to be made across the board.
You might also find that there's a knock-on effect with post-Black Friday purchases also taking a little longer to arrive than usual.
