Black Friday is the Friday after US Thanksgiving, the fourth Friday of November. In 2026 that is 27 November. Retailers, Amazon first among them, now stretch the event over more than a week.

Black Friday week dates are an estimate based on previous years, not an Amazon announcement. Only 27 and 30 November are certain.

Why compare, even on Black Friday?

The same product does not cost the same on Amazon.fr, Amazon.de, Amazon.es or Amazon.it, and Black Friday discounts are not aligned between countries. A comparator puts all those prices side by side, delivery included.

How to spot a fake Black Friday deal

Fake discounts exist. These are the most common warning signs:

Good to know: in the European Union, a price-reduction announcement must in principle state the lowest price applied in the previous 30 days (the “Omnibus” rule). It does not replace checking the history yourself.

The 5-step method for real bargains

Starting now, before the deals open:

  1. Make a list of 5 to 10 products you genuinely want, each with a target price.
  2. Record the current price and its history in Komparzon: that is your real reference.
  3. Set a price alert on each product to be notified when it drops below your threshold.
  4. On the day, compare the same product across the 7 European Amazon stores and partner retailers, delivery included.
  5. Buy only if the final price is at the lowest point of its history, or below your target.

Black Friday: make the most of the 7 European Amazon stores

From France or Belgium, Amazon.de, Amazon.es, Amazon.it and Amazon.nl often deliver to your door. During Black Friday, a bigger discount in another country can outweigh the shipping gap. Komparzon converts prices into euros and shows delivery costs when Amazon states them.

Go further: Amazon price comparison Europe, buying on Amazon.fr, Amazon.de or Amazon.co.uk compared and using the ASIN to find the best price.

Frequently asked questions

Black Friday 2026 is on Friday 27 November and Cyber Monday on Monday 30 November. Amazon had not announced its dates as of 7 November; its Black Friday week usually opens about a week earlier. To spot real bargains: check price history now, set a price alert, then compare the same product across the 7 European Amazon stores and partner retailers, delivery included.

What is the date of Black Friday 2026?

Black Friday 2026 falls on Friday 27 November 2026, the day after US Thanksgiving. Cyber Monday follows on Monday 30 November. Amazon usually starts its deals several days before the Friday.

When does Black Friday start on Amazon?

As of 7 November Amazon had not announced its 2026 dates. In recent years its Black Friday week has opened about a week before the Friday, with lightning deals refreshed throughout. Watch Amazon's official page and announcements.

Are Amazon Black Friday deals really good deals?

Some are, some are not. The crossed-out price is often an inflated reference. The only reliable method is to compare today's price with the product's recent price history, then with the same product on the other European Amazon stores and at partner retailers.

Do you need Prime to get Amazon Black Friday deals?

No, most deals are open to everyone. Some deals are Prime-only, or ship faster with Prime. Check the label on the product page and the delivery cost in your basket.

How can I tell whether a Black Friday price is the lowest of the year?

Look at the price history: if today's price equals or beats the minimum of the last few weeks, that is a good sign. With no history, compare the same product (same ASIN or barcode) across several stores.

Can I buy from Amazon.de, Amazon.es or Amazon.it during Black Friday?

Yes, many products ship across Europe from other Amazon stores, sometimes cheaper. Delivery fees and Prime eligibility depend on the seller, the product and your address: check the final amount in the Amazon basket before ordering.

How do I avoid missing a price drop during Black Friday?

Set price alerts on the products you want, starting now. You are notified when the price falls below your threshold, without staring at the screen during lightning deals.
