Amazon
Amazon hasn't posted its Black Friday dates yet. What it has announced is the holiday return window: most items bought November 1 to December 31, 2026 can be returned until January 31, 2027 (Apple products until January 15). Amazon says this will now happen every year, so it's safe to start gift shopping early.
Our tips for this season
- Early sales are often just as good. Many Black Friday prices show up in the early events. If you see something you need at a great price, you don't have to wait.
- Watch for limited-time deals. On Amazon, a "Limited time deal" badge usually has a countdown. When it ends, the price goes back up.
- Check the size and color. For clothes and shoes, the sale price often applies to only some options.
Store dates can change, so double-check on each store's site before you shop. We'll update this post as more dates are announced.
