Tips for shopping the John Lewis Black Friday sale
To get the best deals possible this Black Friday, you need to be prepared, especially if you’re shopping across multiple sites. Below are our tips on how to shop the John Lewis Black Friday sales. For tips on other retailers like Amazon, Currys, Argos, Very, AO.com and ASOS, just click those links!
1. Create a wishlist
Create a wishlist of products that you want to buy in the John Lewis Black Friday sales. For example, if you’re looking for a new hairdryer, make sure you know what brand, style and power you want before you start shopping. When you do this, make sure to check what site this is available at. John Lewis are well-known for their beauty and fashion products and have regular deals on these products, so it’s ideally the best place to shop for the best prices.
Making a wishlist means you won’t waste time flicking through the sales waiting to have your attention grabbed by something you don’t need. This also saves you from finding something that you really like and when you go to buy, you find that it’s sold out.
2. Do your research
Whenever you shop for anything – especially if it's online – it’s important to do your research. Do this for the products you want to buy and the store you want to buy it from. Make sure you check original prices and protection policy, so you get a better idea on how good the deals are and if it comes with any protection guarantees.
When researching the store, check delivery details and return policies, to find out how you can track your order, when it will arrive, how to refund an item and how many days you have to return it. John Lewis have many delivery options, including click and collect from local shops, next and named delivery and free UK mainland delivery, so make sure you check what you want before shopping.
3. Create a John Lewis account
If you’re shopping from John Lewis this Black Friday, create an account before you start shopping the sales. It’s best to have a John Lewis account if you’re paying online, so rather than hurrying to make one on the day, set one up early to avoid the stress. Having an account helps you manage your orders, track your delivery, add items to your wishlist and more.
4. Download the John Lewis app
The free John Lewis app is designed to give you up to date stock information and the best deals while you’re on the go. If you’re working on Black Friday, downloading the app will be especially helpful so you won’t miss out on any great discounts on your favourite products, plus can browse the deals during your lunch break!
5. Check previous Black Friday deals
Finally, check last year’s Black Friday deals to get a better scope on what to expect this November. This can help you understand what kind of discounts were available last year and what items were the most popular. It’s also good to find out how quickly things sold last year, what they were and when the sales started so you’re prepared on the day.
