Black Friday 2018 deals: Here’s what you need to know
The annual shopping carnival day, Black Friday, which the US celebrates after Thanksgiving Day, is all set to roll out with its offers and discounts to mark the beginning of the holiday season ahead.

The sale will be held this year on November 23 and the deals are great if one is looking to buy a new gadget.
Even though it's majorly a US festival, Indians too will be able to benefit from these irresistible deals as many sellers on American online stores, which include Amazon, eBay, Newegg, JCrew, Alibaba, among others, ship internationally.
For Amazon, one can shop in India during the sale directly from the Amazon.com starting at 1:30 PM on November 23. The sale will continue till 1:30 PM on November 27.
Suppose one is looking to buy a product from a known-website that does not ship internationally, one can avail third-party shipping services like Shop and Ship and Viabox, which are both popular and reliable. However, the buyer will be required to pay for the customs and import duties.
But, one must first compare the prices and see if they are getting the maximum benefit of the deals. The interested buyer must also be cautious of the website they are looking to buy the product from.
The best Black Friday deals in US:
  • Apple Home Pod
  • The discounted price for the device is $250, while the actual is $349.
    • Apple Watch Series 3
