2019 Black Friday sales: Here's how to shop from India
What's the story
As we all know it, Black Friday is the biggest shopping day of the year in the US. The mega sale event is celebrated one day after Thanksgiving and for 2019, it will take place on November 29. But what if you're based in India? Can you still avail those excellent deals and offers on in-demand products? Well, Yes! Here's how.
Process
Black Friday sale: How to order from India?
Surely, you can grab the best Black Friday deals and offers while shopping from India. Some of the biggest online retailers which host Black Friday sales do ship internationally. In case, international shipping is not available, you can use a third-party shipping service or simply ask your friends and family who are traveling to India to bring your product.
Online retailers
Where to look for Black Friday deals?
Since most of the businesses are now online, you have a ton of options to look for the best Black Friday deals. Some of the best retailers that do ship to India are Amazon, eBay, and Newegg. However, not all kinds of products will be available for international shipping and you may have to pay for shipping as well as local import duties.
Price cuts
How to find the best deals?
Notably, the best deals will be available on in-demand tech products, ranging from 4K TVs and popular laptops to smartphones, gaming consoles, mobile accessories, Bluetooth speakers, wireless earbuds et al. Hence, you should keep a list of products you want ready, and add them to your wishlist so that you can quickly complete the purchase when the deals go live.
Heavy stuff
What kind of products should you avoid buying?
Black Friday sales are great for buying products that are either not available in India or are overpriced here. However, you should avoid heavy products (since you will have to bear the shipping costs) and products that may incur heavy import duties. Moreover, you should strictly not order any e-cigarettes and vaping related products since they are banned in India.
