Black Friday on Amazon – and among its counterparts – grows in popularity every year, in particular because it falls at the right time of the year: it is a few weeks before the end-of-year holidays, a period when consumption is particularly high. This allows you to make Christmas gifts at low prices, which is sure to please all French people.
If you don't want to go overboard this year, the big e-retailers are here to help you reduce your budget. Whether high-tech, culture, household appliances or DIY, all categories are affected by discounts during Black Friday on Amazon. The same goes for Fnac, Darty, Boulanger and Cdiscount.
But be careful, you can also get great deals directly on brand sites. This is the case for example at Emma, which started its Black Friday early, and which is offering unprecedented prices on a large part of its catalog. You can find the same on software sites like Bitdefender, Norton, Intego or even NordVPN: the savings are even higher than on Amazon.

Finding good deals during Black Friday is not easy: on Amazon, there are already thousands of pages of good deals available. This is also the case with its competitors. You will therefore have to go methodically so as not to waste your time. You can go through this page, which we will update regularly in the next two weeks, to consult the good up-to-date offers. Otherwise, we advise you to take a look at the main merchant sites at least once during the period.
Les dates du Black Friday
This year, Amazon has announced the dates of its Black Friday: it will last from Thursday November 21 to December 2. So it’s a little over a week of good deals that you will be able to grab. Be careful, the good news is that the best prices will be available from day one. If the “real” Black Friday is Friday November 29, the offers will be available from Thursday the 21st. This prevents you from having the rush on the 29th because the prices will systematically be the same.

Like every year, Amazon guarantees you the best price over the entire period: this means that even if you buy on the 21st and the price drops later, you will be refunded the difference. This also allows it to avoid the madness of Black Friday by spreading sales over the period. It's easier for him to better manage the shipping and logistics of this crazy day.
Other good news for those who would like to buy during Black Friday on Amazon: returns are extended. By default, in France, merchants are obliged to offer at least 15 days for returns. Amazon does better since normally, you can return your purchases for up to 30 days. But during Black Friday, it goes even further by offering extended returns.
In this case, all purchases made from November 1, 2024 can be returned until… January 31, 2025. This policy is specifically designed to facilitate Christmas shopping in November: in fact, if Amazon limited returns to 30 days, you wouldn't be able to return them after Christmas. With this fixed date at the end of January, you can therefore extend returns beyond the end of year holidays.
What to watch on Black Friday?
On the Journal du Geek, you will inevitably discover all the best offers around tech. This is also the category that is the most popular during Black Friday. This will allow you to find good deals on brands like Apple, Bose, Samsung, Microsoft and Sony. All types of products will be sold off: smartphones, computers, consoles, tablets and other connected watches.
This is of course not the only category that is on sale on Amazon during Black Friday: each time there are hundreds of thousands of references which are at low prices. These are also the best prices of the year and they are accessible to the general public: Amazon does not distinguish Prime members from others, everyone can take advantage of its Black Friday offers.
If there's one time of year when you can be a cheapskate, it's Black Friday. There are real discounts to be had on all references ranging from 20% for the most prestigious brands to sometimes more than 80% off on lesser-known products. Amazon does not have the right to sell at a loss on this operation but it can cut back on its margin – and this is what allows it to have such low prices.
