What is Black Friday?

If you’re yet to shop during Black Friday, you’re in for a real treat. The shopping event started in the US as a one-day event the day after Thanksgiving, offering people the chance to get their Christmas shopping done. But now, it’s a worldwide affair, with huge discounts on offer.

Many UK retailers take part and slash the prices of big-name brands, including AppleSamsung, SonyJBL Quantum Gaming Headphones, Amazon, LG and more.

When is Black Friday 2022?

The date of Black Friday 2022 in the UK is 25 November. But, for most brands and retailers, the sale spans the weekend until the following Monday, known as Cyber Monday.

That being said, each year, retailers and brands that take part in the big Black Friday sale start their deal events earlier and earlier. The likes of Boots, Currys, Argos, and Dyson have already kicked off their sales with some impressive deals, and you can expect Amazon to follow suit.

While this may sound daunting, this guide will be on hand throughout the event.

When will the Black Friday 2022 sales start?

The Black Friday sales in 2022 will officially start on Friday 25 November. However, as we’ve touched on, a huge number of brands and retailers have already kicked things off, really ramping up the excitement for the big day itself.

When is Cyber Monday 2022?

Cyber Monday is the following Monday after Black Friday, and will therefore be held on Monday 28 November in 2022. It’s traditionally an online-only event, but many deals are now also available in-store. It serves as your last chance to bag a bargain across tech, coffee machines, air fryersgamingTVs, and laptops.

What’s the difference between Black Friday and Cyber Monday?

Traditionally, Black Friday was hosted online and in-store, while Cyber Monday used to be exclusively an online shopping event. But now, this isn’t the case, so there’s not much difference between the two events.

In terms of the difference in deals, some of the best discounts on big-ticket items may sell out before Cyber Monday. But, this isn’t always the case.

Will the Royal Mail strike affect Black Friday deliveries?

Due to an ongoing dispute over pay and conditions, Royal Mail workers will strike throughout November. Unfortunately for shoppers, that means there could be a delay in deliveries during the sale event.

Workers announced they will stage two 48-hour strikes around Black Friday and Cyber Monday. The exact dates are Thursday 24 November, Friday 25 November (Black Friday) and Monday 28 November (Cyber Monday).

Its own brand devices were heavily discounted, which we expect will happen again this year. The price of the Amazon fire HD 8 tablet (Amazon.com) was slashed by a whopping 56 per cent to just S39.99. Similarly, the Amazon Fire TV stick 4K max (Amazon.com) was reduced to £36.99 from S54.99.

Last year, we saw a final reduction on the Apple AirPods pro with MagSafe charging case (amazon.com), which saw them cost S185. Owing to the fact that there is an all-new pair of the earbuds, we expect to see the second generation AirPods pro be reduced once again.
