Cyber Monday

Cyber Monday is the online version of Black Friday, allowing shoppers to find the gifts they couldn’t get their hands on during Black Friday at deals they can only find online. Consider it a Black Friday do-over, just purely online this time around and with, possibly, bigger and better deals!

Statistics show that in the past few years, Cyber Monday has taken on a life of its own and is the biggest online shopping day of the year! If you can name any website that sells things, they’re probably offering Cyber Monday deals.

All your favourite online stores will be offering discounts and bundles on all kinds of products. It’s an excellent day to get a jump on your Christmas shopping or buy things for yourself, especially if you’re looking for bargains. It’s a great day to buy tech gadgets and big-ticket tech items, in particular.

Cyber Monday starts on

• Monday, 28th November 2023, 00:00!

Cyber Monday is a huge online shopping event and because of the magnitude of shoppers transacting online, cyber hackers may use this to their advantage to try and capture your personal information or lure you to unsafe sites.

Here are some tips and tricks to make sure you shop safely, securely and smartly:

• Shop with trusted online retailers or do thorough research before making purchases from unknown retailer sites.
• Never provide your credit card information if you do not see the ‘padlock’ on the upper left-hand side of your address bar, or if the address begins with “http://” instead of “https://”.

• Keep your information private. If the retailer asks for too much information such as your birth-date and social security numbers, do not complete the transaction.
• After shopping Cyber Monday deals, it’s a good idea to keep a close eye on all your banking statements, checking them weekly rather than by the month, just in case something slipped to a hacker. Notify your cardholder service if there are any discrepancies immediately.
• Maintain good virus protection on your computer to prevent spyware and other hacks from accessing your information. Many trusted anti-virus services are available online for free so you can take advantage of convenient online shopping.
• Avoid using public Wi-Fi to do your shopping, rather use secure connections.
• Be cautious of unsolicited emails and pop-up internet adverts with too-good-to-be-true offers. Use caution when a deal is drastically better than others and always double-check before clicking on ads.

• Sign up to the LoveCoupons.hk newsletter for Cyber Monday news delivered straight to you!
• Start planning early - troll the news and the web for lists of retailers offering Black Friday deals. Bookmark those retailer’s websites, download their apps and create wishlists.
• Look to past years’ sales for guidance - retailers most likely won’t recycle Cyber Monday deals from year to year, but you can reliably predict the types of products you’ll find the best deals on. Electronics, clothing and apparel, and cosmetics are all typical Cyber Monday finds.
• Follow your favourite retailers on their social media. This tip pays off year-round, but it’ll especially come in hand during Cyber Monday in ensuring you stay on top of all the deals and promotions on offer.
• Budget! It’s tempting to shop every offer your eye lands on, but do you really need another pair of shoes? Plan a budget and stick to it as best as you can.
• Price check before you buy - sometimes Cyber Monday deals aren’t all they’re cracked up to be. To judge how good the deals really are once it’s crunch time, you’ll need to track prices leading up to Cyber Monday.
• Use online price comparison tools to make sure you’re really getting the lowest price out there. The item you want could be even cheaper elsewhere!
• Sign up to your favourite brand’s mailing list. They’ll send all their offers straight to you! That way you don’t have to go searching.
• Be aware of store policies, for example - many stores don’t accept returns on major sale items. To avoid complications and disappointments, check these policies out before completing your purchase.
• Shop in incognito or private mode - this is less about secure shopping and more about rendering you eligible for deals not available to someone with your browsing or purchasing history (yes, retailers know way more about you than you realize).
• Enjoy it! Cyber Monday shopping shouldn’t be a dreary experience. Get a friend or two to join you and make a thing out of it.

You’re ready to Cyber Monday shop!

Are Cyber Monday deals the same as Black Friday’s?

Whilst most major stores offer both Black Friday and Cyber Monday deals, they won’t necessarily be the same deals.

Generally, Black Friday is a better day to shop for expensive, big-ticket items, while Cyber Monday is preferable for gadgets, gifts, and older-generation tech.

What stores offer Cyber Monday deals?

Just about any store that offers online shopping will most likely participate in Cyber Monday.
So, as long as your favourite store has online shopping facilities, they’ll probably be offering Cyber Monday deals!

Will I receive my items on time if I shop on Cyber Monday?

Due to the nature of the amazing Cyber Monday deals and the number of online shoppers, retailers may not be able to fulfil orders at their usual speed.

To avoid disappointment, read all product descriptions and details before making purchases and check the retailer’s shipping policies to find out exactly when your item will arrive, and if store pick-up is an option.

Is it safe to shop online during Cyber Monday?

Yes! You can easily save big money on the products you want without worrying about the security of your personal information by making sure the websites you’re shopping on are trusted.

Are Cyber Monday deals only available online?

Primarily, yes. Cyber Monday deals are meant to be online only.

However, some retailers might have in-store deals running too. Check with your favourite stores to make sure.

Can I use a coupon code on my Cyber Monday order?

Whilst you can usually use the many coupon codes you find here on LoveCoupons.hk for regular purchases, Cyber Monday might be a little different. Because products are already significantly discounted, retailers may not accept the use of coupon/discount codes on top of that.
The use of coupon codes on Cyber Monday offers is at the discretion of the retailer. Some might actually accept it, others may not - either way, it doesn’t hurt to try your luck!

But, wait! There’s more.
