Black Friday in the USA: how to shop profitably
Black Friday — the day of the biggest discounts of the year. In Russia and China, these discounts are often «fake»: sellers raise prices a couple of days beforehand, only to then run a «-50% promotion». But in the US, where the idea originated, the situation is completely different. The discounts there are real, and shoppers go crazy over them.
The last Friday of November in the States — is the best day of the year for all sellers. More sales happen in a single day than in some entire weeks. Last year, Americans spent $19 billion online on Black Friday alone in a single day. And there is only one reason: real discounts. Thousands of brands, including the most famous ones, make their products much cheaper. On Black Friday in the US, discounts reach 40%, people know this, and try to buy less in October-November so they will have enough money later for discounted goods.

Black Friday USA: 5 best websites with выгодными offers
- Amazon.com. The most popular store in America (and in the world). Also the main shopping destination for all Americans on Black Friday. On BF day, children's toys, gadgets, kitchen appliances, clothes and shoes are sold here with big discounts. Discounts — up to 30%, plus free shipping across the USA to forwarding warehouses. A large selection of beautiful things for crafts and creating home comfort.
- Walmart.com. The largest supermarket chain on the planet, and now the main competitor to Amazon in online sales. On Black Friday, electronics, appliances, cosmetics, and household chemicals are traditionally sold here. There are many offers, shipping across America is usually free, and there are still fewer online shoppers than at Amazon, which makes it possible after all to “grab” the biggest discounts.
- eBay.com. Once the most famous online store in the USA, but now it has yielded No. 1 to Amazon and No. 2 to Walmart. But prices here have remained the lowest, and besides, you can profitably buy a rare item here at online auctions. On Black Friday, eBay lists several thousand offers, mostly for inexpensive goods.
- Macy's. A well-known clothing hypermarket, whose main building in Manhattan appears in hundreds of movies. For a hundred years now, it has been holding a parade of giant inflatable figures through the center of New York, which usually draws hundreds of thousands of spectators. But for us, the main thing is that on BF day the biggest discounts on clothes and shoes are seen here. Moreover, their cost here is quite low even without discounts, especially considering the level of the brands sold here.
- OldNavy. A brand of affordable American clothing. One of the most popular stores in the USA in this regard — along with H&M and GAP (which owns the brand). The site is known for good Black Friday offers. Clothing prices drop by 40-50%! Moreover, discounts apply to almost all items presented in the store, and the sale continues for three more days, until Cyber Monday.

Black Friday USA: how to get goods from America delivered to Russia
American websites do not ship goods directly to Russia. Or they use standard services that charge $50+ to deliver one small package (USPS). Therefore, people mostly buy in the States through an intermediary, such as Us. It is quite simple: you just need to register, and you will immediately receive a personal address for shopping in America. You can use it on online store websites (in the Shipping address/"Delivery address" fields), and stores will consider you an American. All discounts and offers will apply to you, and the shipping cost will be free, and that is the most выгодное.
Packages will arrive at the address of the intermediary's American warehouse, appear in your account with this company, and all you will have to do is choose the best shipping method for getting the goods to your city. Basically, you can pay as little as $12-$20 for a package, so even buying just one clothing item in America is quite worthwhile.
Shipping from the USA with Pochtoy.com is the most выгодная: prices start from $11,99, and the package arrives at the branch office in your city in 5-10 days. But keep in mind that here you need to arrange shipping in advance, before the package arrives at the warehouse, otherwise the package processing speed will not be that high, and it may be delayed by an additional 1-2 days, as with other mail forwarders.
By the way, unfortunately, fresh flowers and seeds from America cannot be imported. I mention this just in case, although there is a whole list of items prohibited from export. However, as in any country.
