Amazon Breaks Records with Biggest Black Friday and Cyber Monday Yet

Amazon’s Black Friday Week and Cyber Monday shopping event from November 21 to December 2 was its biggest yet, breaking records in sales and the number of items sold.
According to the retailer earlier this week, customers “saved billions” during the 12-day event, which featured huge discounts across popular categories like Electronics, Toys, and Beauty.
“We know how much our customers appreciate saving money, and our customers saved billions with us during this year’s holiday shopping event,” said Doug Herrington, CEO, Worldwide Amazon Stores, in a statement. “And we have many more fun and exciting ways for them to continue to save this holiday season.”
Some of the best-selling items included Alexa-enabled devices (“millions” were sold) like the Echo Dot and Fire TV Stick 4K, along with Apple’s Beats headphones, Samsung TVs, Barbie dolls, Play-Doh, Shark vacuums and Medicube beauty devices.
Amazon also says this year’s Black Friday and Cyber Monday event was the “largest ever” for independent sellers, which consisted of over 60% of the company’s sales during the event.
But the savings on Amazon aren’t over yet, as there are still deals on toys, fashion, electronics, and more until December 24, Christmas Eve.

But all my purchases are stuck at Canada Post :/
Are those from Amazon? They usually don’t use Canada Post anymore as they have their own delivery fleet. Sometimes they would subcontract smaller delivery companies when they are swamped but almost never Canada Post. At least that holds true for most urban areas.
They use Canada Post because I used my FlexiDelivery address
Got it
