list of retail store and online store offering early black friday deals now?!?

Got an email from Wayfair
The Black Friday Sneak Preview Sale
www.wayfair.ca

well, the stores knows most of us cannot flock to the states to benefit their black friday deal, there's no incentive to boost sales in advanced anyways.

I saw Dyson Canada on their website, has "Black Friday" price garanteen.

Retailers are generally hurting this year and likely can't do deep discounts. I wouldn't hold my breath for big deals. With wanting to limit store traffic crowds, it has been suggested that it'll be more like "Black November" rather than Black Friday. Haven't seen much, but I'm crossing my fingers for some deals. There have been some deals posted from US retailers, but I haven't seen much from Canadian Retailers.

I see the opposite being true. Retailers place their orders well ahead of time and are likely sitting on alot of unsold inventory. Most people claim they saved money during covid...these goods pre-ordered by retailers have to go somewhere now.

Anyways the Blockbuster post-post-post boxing day has been triple-heldover doorcrasher sale in February should have decent deals. These retailers are just getting pathetic, or the average person is truly a gullable idiot.

I've been talking to different retailers and the dynamic is funny. Average goods aren't doing all that well, but luxury goods are flying off the shelves (Louis Vuitton, jewelry, etc). Why? People have been getting this gov't money during COVID, can't go on vacation, people who got married are saving by being forced into smaller events and no honeymoon, so savings are up. People are turning to luxury items to spend the cash on.

I do hope that you are right and we see some decent deals. I've got a short list of items I'm watching and hoping for some kind of discount on them. If not, I don't buy and money safe in my wallet, but would be nice.

Actually their stuff is labelled as HOLIDAY SEASON
But it’s a case of select and/or holiday merchandise in limited quantities
Some are WAREHOUSE EXCLUSIVES

I have my doubts

For some items such as home office stuff like laptop, it's doing well and no need for big discount

For other stuff like clothes, they can cancel the order. Now logistics can support those on demand orders and companies have more than half a year to adjust

And a lot people saved a lot money because lockdown, so you are richer than you think , more likely you want to buy something in Black Friday or Boxing Day regardless

The only deep deals you’re gonna find these days are going out of business liquidations. The retail apocalypse is just getting started.

Tons of people have saved money by not eating out, not buying coffee every day, not getting haircuts, etc. Not to mention cancelling vacations and travel... I think people are willing to buy some stuff

"Black Friday price guarantee" to me is just saying there isn't any deal for black Friday.
Have a few home electronics I want to buy too so will see.

It would be nice to delete all the discussion and have a thread solely for stores and sales like the title says or make a new thread and rename this one the never ending master debate.
