Black Friday 2025 : Your favorite products delivered straight to you, no matter where you live

Every year, Black Friday marks the start of the end-of-year shopping. In 2025, it will take place on Friday, November 28 (and will often extend into “Cyber Week” until Monday or more).

For many consumers living in countries where some major e-commerce sites do not deliver (or do not deliver well), this seems frustrating. That’s exactly where your ColisExpat forwarding service comes in: you can take advantage of the best promotions, have the products delivered to our warehouses in Europe or the US, and then route them to your final address — wherever you are.

What we need to know before Black Friday 2025

Before we get into the examples, some key trends to know for Black Friday 2025:

Average discounts on electronics (computers, TVs, accessories) remain very aggressive, as these products are among the most competitive.
“Black Friday” is no longer a single day: many sites open promotions one to two weeks early, or extend until Cyber Monday / Cyber Week.
Logistical issues (stock, delivery times, stock-outs) will be crucial — for both buyers and merchants.
Cross-border (purchases from a country to a foreign location) is becoming more and more common — but delivery barriers, customs duties, and transport costs make the option of reshipping more relevant.

Why choose sites that don't ship directly to your country

You might say to yourself: “Why shop at sites that don’t deliver to my country?

ColisExpat solves this problem – and more:

Stronger discounts: “Local” sites in a given market (US, UK, Germany, etc.) often offer aggressive promotions that aren’t found in “international” or “localized” versions. It can be worth it, even after international transport.
Exclusive brands / rare items: Some products (models, limited editions) are only available on local sites. Buying via these sites + forwarding via ColisExpat allows you to access objects that cannot be found in your home.
Control of shipping costs / consolidation: Thanks to ColisExpat’s forwarding service, you can consolidate several orders, choose the optimal rate option, and avoid multiple or inefficient delivery costs.
Reliability & transparency: ColisExpat’s is under IMX France / Landmark Global (a subsidiary of bpostgroup, Belgium’s leading postal operator), a leader in parcel delivery. With our strong logistics arm, we ensure that your order reaches your door without risk of loss or cancellations.
Early Access: Some sites launch “pre-sales,” “early sales,” or “private sales” before the official Black Friday date — these are often the best times to grab a promotion, as stocks are still full.

Tips to make the most of Black Friday with ColisExpat

Here are some best practices to maximize your winnings and avoid unpleasant surprises:

Prepare a “wishlist” and monitor prices in advance: Add the products you are targeting to lists or “favorites”, and watch if they go up in price before Black Friday — some sellers inflate the prices before to make it look like a sale.
Make group orders if possible: Grouping several purchases (from the same merchant or in the same period) reduces the unit costs of transport/reshipment.
Beware of hidden fees and customs fees
- Keep an eye on when the site charges customs/VAT: some sites include it at checkout, others will “leave” the package immobilized at customs.
- Take into account the costs of handling, reconditioning and control.
- Check that the goods purchased comply with your country’s import regulations.
Be quick: A lot of “doorbusters” or “flash deals” sell out very quickly. As soon as you see an interesting promo, confirm the order. Better to pay a little more than to miss it.
Keep the evidence: Keep screenshots, invoices, price confirmations at the time of purchase (useful in case of dispute or price discrepancy).
Offer guides or alerts to your customers: As a forwarding service, ColisExpat could send its subscribers a “Black Friday 2025 newsletter” with the best sites, coupon codes, tutorials to use the service, etc.
Clear communication on deadlines: In this period of high load, carriers are saturated – realistic expectations must be set for delivery to the end customer.

How to get your Black Friday purchases delivered with ColisExpat?

Example of a concrete scenario

Let’s say you live in Morocco, Brazil, Australia, or somewhere else, and you’re aiming for a MacBook Air or iPhone at a good price. You spot an interesting promo at Best Buy, B&H or even Currys UK. Since these sites do not deliver (or do not deliver efficiently) to your country, you:

Order the product on their website, by putting the address of one of our warehouses (US or EU depending on the site).
The package arrives at our ColisExpat warehouses.
We send the package to your home (in Morocco, Brazil, Australia or elsewhere), optimizing transport costs and customs procedures.

Eventually, you’d have access to the strongest “local” promotion, without being blocked by delivery restrictions.
