Amazon sets Black Friday sale for Nov. 19-30 and early deals are already live
Amazon has announced its Black Friday sale will run from Nov. 19 to 30, with discounts across beauty, apparel, home decor, tools and tech, and early markdowns already available on its site.
Amazon has announced that its Black Friday sale will run from Nov. 19 through Nov. 30, and shoppers can already find early markdowns on the retailer's website. The event covers beauty, apparel, home decor, tools and technology. Prime membership is not required to take part, although Prime members gain access to exclusive deals and faster shipping. The early discounts give shoppers a preview of the categories that will be featured once the event begins.
Several of the offers already listed on Amazon are in home and personal care. A Dyson handheld vacuum is discounted by $70, and Bissell's Little Green cleaner is listed at $100, down from $140. Faux-fur-lined slippers are down more than 30 percent. In beauty, under-eye patches are listed at $28 and CeraVe PM moisturizer at $20. Bose headphones are $60 off in select colors, and a Lego Star Wars set with 1,088 pieces, recommended for ages 12 and up, is priced under $100.
Shoppers looking for markdowns can use the Top Deals page and the Lighting Deals section to track discounts as the sale approaches. Among the tech items highlighted is a Sabrent 8-port desktop charger, available for $59.60 with a 34 percent coupon. The charger offers 252 watts of total output, with up to 100 watts delivered through each Type-C port, which allows several devices to charge at once from a single unit.
The Pokémon Delta Reign Elite Trainer Box is one of the more notable price moves in the early listings. Walmart currently has the lowest price at $89.95, against a list price of $139.99 and an estimated market value of about $88. On Amazon, the same box is available from a third-party seller for $98.49. The Walmart listing is fulfilled by Walmart but sold by a third-party seller, a distinction that matters to buyers comparing where a product ships from and who handles the sale. Retailers have been cutting prices on the box within days of its release, and its contents are identical regardless of where it is bought, so price is the main factor separating the offers.
Comparing listings across retailers is therefore likely to be the most practical step for shoppers. Early prices can shift quickly, and the same product may appear at different prices from different sellers on the same platform. It remains unclear whether these early deals will hold through Black Friday, and it is also uncertain whether the listed prices reflect the sale's final discounts. Shoppers who wait for the full event may find some items cheaper, but prices could also rise or change before the sale begins.
