If you haven’t heard of the Black Friday sales before, you’re not alone! Many Aussies are unaware of this American tradition, simply because we don’t have Black Friday sales in Australia.

What Are the Black Friday Sales?

Taking place immediately after Thanksgiving, Black Friday sales are much like our Boxing Day ones – think early openings, massive crowds and huge savings.

Black Friday has been crowned the biggest shopping day of the year in the US, and retailers are consistently pushing the boundaries with when the sale starts (some even decide to open at 8pm on Thanksgiving night).

Despite the American public’s love for the occasion, Black Friday attracts numerous complaints about crowd size and violence, with shoppers being trampled and abused year after year. As a result, many prefer to stay at home and shop online; in recent years the sales have been replicated on the web and include many classic American retailers such as The Pottery Barn, Amazon, Overstock, JC Penney and even tech giants such as Samsung and Microsoft.

Black Friday Deals In Australia – Shipporter Can Help!

Although we don’t have Black Friday sales in Australia, some of us may be tempted to shop online. The usual problems people face are the absence of Australian shipping options or the astronomical shipping costs, meaning that even if we were to cash in on the deals, all our savings would be chewed up in postage.

In addition, even if you find an international company to buy your products for you, most times you have to deal with numerous other companies to help get the parcel to your door.

You’re therefore probably thinking, “Why bother with Black Friday sales if I live in Australia?” We would be wondering that too, however we know the secret to bagging a bargain down under. Shipporter have created a seamless and flexible experience that uses ocean freight which – although slower than airline carriers – is affordable and safe. This means that our shipping process can take up to 5 weeks, but you should have your goods in time to enjoy them in the New Year!

So, are you looking for a new coffee machine, a Kitchenaid or other bulky kitchen appliance? Wanting to buy a new desk, couch, fridge or barbecue? Or maybe you’re searching for some new home furnishings that would send international shipping through the roof?

You can read more about how our process works here, and if you’re convinced that you want to take advantage of the Black Friday sales, look out for deals from your favourite retailers.
