I won’t blame you if you think that there’s a correlation between Black Friday and Friday the 13th—after all, “black” should connote something bad, right? Well, you’re very wrong. Here’s what Black Friday is all about.
Simply put, Black Friday is a day when crazy sales all over the world take place, because it’s the beginning of the Christmas buying season. Think of it as the Great Singapore Sale compressed into one single day or one single weekend, and with promotions that are crazily better than the Great Singapore Sale.
Hard to believe? Well, here’re two promotions that are related to Black Friday.
This Bluetooth set from Amazon is originally at $49.99, but it was going for $8.79! Unfortunately, this is a time-based sale for a “Black Friday Week”, so most likely when you’re reading this, the promotion is over. But you get the idea of how good the promotions are, eh?
If not, look at this.
This Samsung TV from bestbuy.com is initially priced at $449,99, but it’s now selling at $299.99. Heck, I think I might just go back to watching TV because of this.
There’re, of course, much more, especially those that would only come out during the day itself. But there’s also one problem: how could we buy from these US sites?
In Singapore, Black Friday isn’t exactly as “hot”—we’re more used to the 11.11 Sale and the GSS, so getting deals from overseas sites isn’t exactly like buying stuff from NTUC FairPrice Online or Redmart.
But of course, there’s always a solution to everything.
Unless you’ve been living in a cave, you should know that globalisation has made online shopping so easy that all it takes is just a few clicks. Recently, shopping agents such as EZBuy (previously known as 65daigou) have made online shopping a walk in the park.
In the case of EZBuy, they’ll take care of the delivery process for you, with the lowest shipping rate at Singapore! And oh, no worries, there’re no hidden fees like base charge or fuel surcharge. Starting from 23rd Nov to 29th Nov, EZbuy will be having a 50% shipping discount (wow!) for their buy-for-me service, at only $1.99/500g shipping rate ($3.59/500g for forwarding service), in which EZBuy will literally buy the product for you—all you need is the URL of the product you’re interested in.
If you’ve got any concerns on the size of your purchase leading to a heavier and more expensive shipping fee, fret not; EZBuy provides free repacking services, so your package will be packed to its optimised size for the cheapest shipping fee—the savings could be up to 60%. Boleh lah!
The key takeaway is this: you save more from shopping online and through a shopping agent due to the lack of middlemen—there’re no importers or distributors between you and your product that jack up the prices!
But to be honest, this is the deal that takes the cake: on Black Friday itself, there’ll be a Black Friday page on EZBuy, whereby items are “grabbed” from Amazon, Bestbuy, 6pm, ALDO, Ralph Lauren, Carter’s, Walmart, Colourpop , Nike and many more
In other words, you can shop on EZBuy’s special Black Friday page without any hassle, and still enjoy the Black Friday deals. Here’re two examples:
SanDisk Ultra 64GB microSDXC @50% off
Kate Spade Penn Valley Neda Wallet @ 65% off
During this promotional period, there will be free agent fee promotions and flash sales. Guess everyone is having Maggie Mee and bread just for this massive sale!
Oh, by the way, don’t say bojio: here’s a $10 free voucher for your first purchase if you’re new to EZBuy because we BFF with them.
Okay, you’re welcome. Now, go grab your credit card and wait for that Friday.
