Afew years back, Black Friday sales were mostly limited to the US. However, it’s no more the case in 2022. Users from India can now buy products during the Black Friday sale and get them delivered to their doorsteps in India. While brands like Croma also offer deals and discounts in India as a part of the Black Friday sale, they are definitely not as impressive as those deals that you get in the US. So, here are some of the best Black Friday deals that you cannot miss.
How to get US Black Friday deals in India?
There are multiple ways of getting these Black Friday deals from the US in India. Some of these products are available on the Amazon US website, which allows users in India to directly place an order from India and get these products delivered to their doorsteps. While this is the easiest way to get US Black Friday deals in India, it does involve some risks. Some of these deals will be available on US-exclusive websites. In this case, one has to order a product from a friend or a family member located in the US and then request them to ship that product to India via a courier service.

There is one more way to get a US product in India and it’s called package forwarding. So, how does package forwarding works? There are several service providers like myus.com, tenso, forward parcel, and more. Once you sign up on these platforms, you can buy a product from a US website, which will be received by these platform warehouses and then shipped to India.
Some of these platforms also offer the flexibility of selecting a courier service of your choice. Again, before choosing a package forwarding service, make sure to do enough research so that you won’t have to worry about the same post the purchase.
