Amazon has announced Cyber Monday 2017 was the company’s “single biggest shopping day ever”, eclipsing Prime Day 2017. Also, from American Thanksgiving to Cyber Monday, customers helped set a record for small business sales, with almost 140 million items sold.
“Amazon customers shopped at record levels during the Turkey 5, ordering hundreds of millions of products from toys to fashion to electronics and Amazon devices,” stated Jeff Wilke, CEO Worldwide Consumer, in a statement.
Customers continue to shop Amazon on mobile, as app orders surged over 50% world-wide, year over year.
The most popular item sold on Cyber Monday? Amazon’s Echo Dot speaker ($49.99 CAD), powered by Alexa (set to launch in Canada this December).

Nothing purchased on Amazon during this weekend.
Was disappointed to not find any deals on Qi wireless charging stands (not interested in the flat mat versions). Oh well…fingers crossed for Boxing Day!
I feel that this year’s deals were much better than they were in 2015 and 16. More price worthy stuff to get.
The deals were absolute garbage. They were worse than last year by far and last year was a bad year to begin with
All I saw on Amazon was junk.
