After Black Friday, many people hunt for bargains on Cyber Monday too.
However, the offers did not only meet with enthusiasm among some Amazon customers.
Black Friday 2020 is a thing of the past.
Cyber Monday * will take place on November 30th.
Amazon customers were disappointed with the offers.
Munich - Disgruntled customers, the drama about the delivery of the PlayStation5 * and dense crowd in some shops in times of the coronavirus pandemic *.
In short:
Black Friday
not only attracted attention with apparently unbeatable offers and discounts.
The fact that Cyber Monday would not go by without chaos is illustrated by comments from Amazon customers who were anything but enthusiastic.
Cyber Monday: Amazon is promoting Christmas gifts shopping
“If you start now, you will save yourself the embarrassment gifts.” This is how a video from Amazon begins that was
supposed to promote
Cyber Monday *
.
This is followed by a brief note that this ends at midnight on November 30th.
The video is stored with Christmas sounds.
After all, quite a few people use the discounts around
Black Week, Black Friday
and
Cyber Monday
to buy
Christmas gifts
for their loved ones
.
Particularly in times of the coronavirus pandemic, there is increasing emphasis on online purchases.
However, anyone who assumes that the offers are the only thing that sparked enthusiasm among customers is very wrong.
Cyber Monday 2020: Customers disappointed - "Offer days this year unusually bad"
“The lightning deals are always the same products - whether it's Cyber Monday, Black Friday * or whatever,” complained an Amazon customer.
"I found the offer days unusually bad this year."
In addition, the prices for toys, for example, have risen enormously - "in some cases up by 30 euros".
On the other hand, the prices remained the same.
“It's been very suspicious of late,” she concluded.
A number of customers had already complained on Black Friday.
“This year everything is very disappointing for you,” agreed another customer.
There are
"partly the same offers as since Thursday"
on
Cyber Monday
.
Another Facebook user complained: “By taking the
Black“ Deals ”back
as undeliverable and reimbursing the money in the hope that the stupid customer will buy again at the normal price, you can also scare off your loyal customers.” Over the years the user orders a lot, he wrote.
But apparently he drew a line: "That's it then."
However, not only did Amazon take a lot of criticism around Black Friday and Cyber Monday, Saturn and Media Markt also did not fare well in some cases.
For example, a photo from a Media Markt caused outrage.
Meanwhile, the German Retail Association (HDE) anticipated record sales in German retail for Black Friday and Cyber Monday.
Overall, consumers would likely spend around 3.7 billion euros on the bargain hunt, the HDE forecast.
