When is Black Friday 2023?
This year, Black Friday was on November 24, but the vast majority of retailers are continuing their deals through the whole weekend (November 25 – 26) too. On Monday November 27, it will be Cyber Monday, which sees several additional discounts.
Typically, this is the final day of the Black Friday season – but if you don’t find the right 3D printer for you by then, keep your eyes out, as some retailers will extend discounts throughout the following ‘Cyber week’, and they might even save the best deals till last.
Black Friday shopping tips
To have the best Black Friday shopping experience possible, we recommend following these simple shopping tips.
- Stick to respected brands: If you’re looking for a 3D printer, make sure you’re buying from a reputable place. Stick to buying directly from big retailers, and be careful when buying from individuals.
- Set a budget: It can be tempting to just buy everything you see during Black Friday, however, you’re not saving anything if you end up buying things you normally wouldn’t. With a spending budget in place, pick out the 3D printer that best suits your needs.
- Look out for scams: If you think a deal sounds too good to be true, it probably is. Scammers try to take advantage of shoppers during the Black Friday period, and you can avoid this by looking closely at URLs when you’re shopping (are you actually on the website you think you’re on, or an imitation?), as well as the email addresses sending you deals (is it the retailer’s genuine customer support email?).
- Be conscious of time-sensitive deals: Over the Black Friday season, you’ll find that a lot of deals are only around for a very short period. Don’t spend too long thinking about your purchase, as you might end up missing the deal.
