What is Black Friday?

For almost all  Indians, Black Friday has an entirely different meaning. But in the US, it is the day after Thanksgiving Day. It marks the beginning of the happiest Christmas shopping season. In this time, Most retailers, both online and offline, start offering deals and offers in the days leading up to Black Friday.

Although some of the best deals come and run out rather quickly, some still spill over the weekend. Do you know that last year, shoppers in the US spent a total of $6.22 billion in online Black Friday sales alone?

When is Black Friday 2019?

This year, the Black Friday shopping event will be on November 29.

So Can You grab Black Friday deals while sitting in India?

Yes, some of the biggest online retailers who offer Black Friday deals do also ship internationally. However, in the case when someone is not aware, you can always use a third-party shipping service to get your package delivered in India. These services charge you for the shipping and you’ll have to pay whatever custom duties are charged at the port of entry in India.

You can also ask your friends or a relative to bring along your online purchases when they visit India, provided everything is under the usual customs limit.

Where to actually look for Black Friday deals while shopping from India?

As we mentioned earlier that some large online retail stores will directly ship products to India. But this doesn’t include the entire inventory. Amazon US ships a big chunk of the electronics internationally, including India. eBay is another option but you’ll have to be slightly more careful while picking up the listings.

Newegg is another option in place but they only ship a limited set of products to India and the pricing isn’t always on the sweeter side. It is also worth mentioning here again that no matter what sites you pick up, you’ll have to consider international shipping and local import duties as well. Newegg is also popularly known for selling electronics and computer peripherals in the US but the site also ships products to India. To shop for electronic items on this Black Friday sale, you should visit the dedicated India page on the Newegg and check out the deals and offers on the devices in INR. You can buy the products which are eligible for shipping to India.

Now the question is How to find the best deals during Black Friday 2019 sale?

If you’re looking to buy during the week’s Black Friday sales, you should start planning right away. You can start by making a list of products you’re interested in and keep a tab on the local prices. Then may visit the online stores that ship to India and add those products on your online wish list. This makes it easier to track the products and their prices once the sales go live.

On the day of the sale, just compare the offered prices with local prices. If the gap is too much— be sure to factor in the international shipping and import duties — you can then decide if a deal is worth buying from India or not.

Black Friday sales are a great option for buying electronics that are either not available locally or are overpriced here. Just make sure you don’t buy heavy products because the shipping will break your entire budget. As always, we’ll be covering the sale and will be bringing you the best Black Friday deals once they go live this weekend.

Amazon: Amazon India’s global store allows all the Indian customers to shop for international items and get them delivered to India without any hassle. The shopping experience is the same shopping regular items at Amazon.in. The only difference is the addition of custom charges on the products.

Notably, not all the items are eligible for international shipping so it is highly recommended to check Amazon India’s global store for deals and discounts before you make your wishlist for the Black Friday sale.

 

Black Friday 2019: Package forwarding service

The package forwarding services allow their users to create a virtual address in the US for shopping online. The items you buy will get delivered to the warehouse of the service you register with and the virtual address lets the service provider forward that package to your real address in India.
