5 Websites to Shop Black Friday Deals

Online Retailers for Black Friday 2022

Black Friday shopping has become a pastime for many when ushering in the holiday season. In recent years, shopping online for big ticket Black Friday deals and items has become more of a pressing need to avoid crowds, get the best deals — and a good night’s rest. Black Friday 2022 should be no exception.

Many retailers have seen so much success from online offerings it is possible the entire month of November could turn into sales that ebb and flow bringing more possibilities to consumers from the comfort of their own home.

The following are some of the best websites to look at for their Black Friday 2022 deals.

Best Buy

Best Buy will have deals on a large amount of TV brands like Sony, Vizio, LG, and Samsung, at prices you simply cannot pass up.

Household appliances big and small, technology like laptops and smart watches, and the accessories to go with them can also all be found at deep discounts when you shop online on Black Friday 2022.

Best Buy as well as other top retailers will begin releasing ads for their Black Friday plans soon, so use a site like BlackFriday.com to get alerts and be “first in line.”

Wayfair

If home décor, housewares, and furniture are on your list, plan to shop online at Wayfair this Black Friday.

The sale starts as early as mid-November (in 2002 it started November 13) and runs through the end of the month.

Most likely, deals will unlock with each passing day, so watch closely for colorful area rugs and sectional sofas perfect for snuggling up.

Walmart

While Best Buy and Wayfair specialize in the more big-ticket items for your home and entertainment, Walmart brings a selection of those things and more.

Personal care items, make up, groceries for holiday celebrations, table settings, books, music, and toys are all up for grabs at shockingly low prices, so they move out of the warehouse and ship to your door.

It is important to consider price matching, refund policies, and shipping lead times when shopping online for Black Friday and all throughout the holiday season so that you get the best prices and receive your items on time.

Price matching policies vary depending on the store, and some do away with price matching altogether during the busiest time of year.

Amazon

In recent years Amazon has dominated online shopping, and Black Friday is no exception. Their homepage is often covered in incredible deals, and if you're an Amazon Prime member the savings are even better.

Be sure to keep an eye out in the days leading up to Black Friday, as Amazon often has early sales. You'll want to act fast too: since it's a leading online retailer, products will be purchased quickly and quantity may be limited.

If you want free shipping and excellent customer service, plan ahead and sign up for a Prime membership in advance.

Target

Target will match a competitor’s price starting Back Friday through December 24th, for instance, so if you purchase something that day on their site and find it for a better price on another retailer website the next, you can get the deal handled fairly.

Price matching policies adhere to strict, specific item deals though, so be sure the competitor’s price is for the same item exactly and not part of a bundle.

What to Expect When Shopping

Free delivery promotions or the option to pick up items in-store with no hassle and help loading up will have customers very interested in how Black Friday shopping online can change their outlook on early holiday shopping.

In fact, some of the best online Black Friday deals start at midnight the day before Thanksgiving and continue until 3:00pm on Black Friday. That’s almost two full days of promotions to the tech savvy shopper.

Black Friday 2022 is worth participating in — many big-ticket items sell for almost half the price at retailers like Best Buy and even Apple. Shopping for any technology or entertainment gifts is a must-do when the items are priced to move after a year of waiting, with the long winter months settling in.

Shipping after Black Friday is often more exciting to watch than a playoff football game. To make the most of your Black Friday 2022 online shopping experience and reduce your anxiety about items arriving on time, make sure you are using websites you’re familiar with and trust.

It is often helpful when a site gives you a shipping deadline date letting you know when to order so that it is received by a certain date. Shoppers cannot always count on timely and updated tracking information from a carrier once an item is out on the road, so expedited orders from trusted websites can bring you more piece of mind than ordering from somewhere you’re patronizing for the first time.

Returns from Black Friday purchases online, while often following a store’s standard 15–30-day policy might seem like they’ll be just as easy as any other time of year when in fact with so much shipping lead time it will be hard to guarantee turn around before your family celebrations begin.

What is great about online shopping though, is that you can be as sure as possible before adding your items to cart, so the chance for a return will be slim.
