What is Black Friday?

Black Friday is a massive shopping event that falls on the Friday after Thanksgiving in the United States. It marks the start of the holiday shopping season there and we seem to be adopting the same habit here across the Pacific. That’s because more often than not, the Black Friday sale is close enough to Charistmas to warrant picking up presents on the cheap. 

In Australia, the term ‘Black Friday’ holds dark memories, but the phrase has also attached itself quite firmly with the year’s biggest sale. From an economic perspective, the sale gets its name for the one day in the year when businesses went from marking their losses in red ink to profits marked in black because shoppers scrambled to ‘doorbuster’ sales and stores had a massive turnover. 

Despite its American roots, Black Friday has become popular in Australia in recent years, with retailers gearing up for one of the busiest sales periods of the year. The pandemic significantly reduced in-store retail shopping across countries last year, with shoppers moving online. Even with restrictions now being eased, we might be better off keeping to online shopping this year too. You can cut the queue and shop from the comfort of home as plenty of brands are expected to drop red-hot deals on their online stores. 

This sale period could be marked by heavy backlogs and supply-chain disruptions, so you might want to keep an eye out on shipping details to ensure you receive your items before Christmas.

When is Black Friday 2021?

This year, Black Friday falls on November 26, the Friday immediately following Thanksgiving in the US. With the age of online shopping well and truly upon us, retailers with online storefronts will have offers live the moment the clock ticks over to that date at midnight. So expect Black Friday 2021 deals starting at 12am AEDT on November 26. 

It’s not purely an online event though, so you can step into the brick-and-mortar stores to snap a bargain or two… or three. But given the fluid situation with the ongoing pandemic, it won’t be a bad idea to shop from your couch.

As we mentioned earlier, Black Friday is not a single-day sale. It will go on till 11:59pm AEDT the following Monday, November 29, that marks the end of Cyber Monday. 

As this sale is exactly a month before Christmas, you could consider getting your pressie shopping done and dusted, and save yourself a whole load of dollary-doos.

Black Friday 2021: FAQs

1. Does Australia have Black Friday sales?

Australia does have Black Friday sales online and in-person. But due to lockdown restrictions still yet to ease in many parts of the country, it's best to stick to online sales. Even without the festivities, Black Friday sales have become a marketplace tradition in Australia. In recent years, there’s been an increase in consumer awareness of brands and retailers which naturally led to the attention that Black Friday has been getting. Most retailers try to push their back-catalogue products for a cheaper price on this day so you’re sure to find some good bargains if you keep a sharp eye. The timing of the Black Friday sales period presents a good opportunity to cross a few expensive items off your Christmas shopping lists before the festive chaos descends. 

2. How long do Black Friday sales last?

Officially Black Friday deals are set live at midnight on that particular Friday, and can last all through the weekend and into the following Monday, called Cyber Monday. However, several retailers tend to start promoting their Black Friday deals a bit earlier in the week, so if you’re really after some good savings we suggest you keep your eyes glued to the computer to snap up some good offers from Monday, November 23.

3. Can I use a credit card to pay for Black Friday deals?

Absolutely yes. Payments using credit cards offer zero liability as opposed to debit card transactions. You can always report a fraudulent purchase to your credit card company since no actual funds have been taken out of your account yet. Plus you can also maximise your rewards and savings if you use a rewards credit card.

4. Are there any cashback offers during Black Friday?

Cashbacks on certain purchases are possible on Black Friday. Many websites also offer vouchers with discount codes that can be used on Black Friday deals. Since most online merchants try to push huge discounts all day long, double your savings with a good cashback offer or coupon from your favourite brands, just be sure to read the fine print or check with the individual retailers on the possibility of additional savings.

5. Is online shopping safe?

Since this is considered to be one of the biggest online shopping events of the year, many scammers, online thieves and fake sellers are expected to creep out of the dark recesses of  the internet to take advantage of naive shoppers. We recommend you make purchases from reliable online sellers and do your research before making any payments. Similarly phone and email phishing scams are likely to occur during  this sale period. With many anxious shoppers trying to bag a good deal from this shopping spree, some might accidentally click on a web advertisement or link that may carry malware. Stay alert and avoid shoulder surfers the best way you can.
