2. Pay attention to the sale time
The West Coast and East Coast of the United States have a time difference of three hours, and most of the online stores will start the discount according to the time of the West Coast. India is 13 hours and 30 minutes ahead of the Westcoast of the United States. So Black Friday will approximately start at 1.30 pm Indian time. (But of course, discounts might also start early!) Most of the online stores in the UK and Japan will start their Black Friday offers on November 23, local time.
3. Prepare a shopping list and pre-open an online shop account
If you want to be well prepared we advise you to open a customer account at the online shops and create a wishlist! So everything will be just a click away from your shopping cart when the discount begins and you can easily check out!
And if you want to be even quicker, you can already fill in our warehouse address, when opening the online store accounts!

4. Understand the payment method and prepare multiple valid credit cards
Some overseas online stores accept overseas credit cards, while the popular luggage brand Samsonite or the footwear brand Toms only accept Paypal as a payment method.
