Black Friday 2016: Best Deals From Amazon, Best Buy, Others

Black Friday is almost upon us and this year brings some splendid deals on some awesome gadgets. Great deals on Amazon and other sites in the USA are already live, a full week before the year’s biggest shopping festival. This means that everything from Macs to TVs is on sale with massive discounts on some of these gadgets.

While these sites offer some awesome discounts, if you are reading this in India, don’t forget that you will have to pay Customs duty if you want to get these gadgets here. Some of these sites may offer shipping to India while others may require you to have a US address, which means you might need to use a package forwarding service to get them here in India.

If you’re getting these shipped to India, remember to factor in shipping charges as well. With shipping and Customs fees, some of these products may be roughly the same price in India. Also remember that you may not get international warranty on these gadgets, so be sure to check that before ordering.

With that out of the way, here are the best Black Friday 2016 deals we’ve found so far:Amazon’s Black Friday deals
