Wal-Mart are doing a ps4/Spider-Man combo for 199 bucks in America hopefully Amazon will do something similar

Thanks OP, I was planning on getting the Garmin Vivomove HR anyway and it's 24% off!

I've never used the early deals before, are these the same offers that will be on Black Friday? So same price just earlier? Seems like an obvious question but I'm doubting myself.

Hopefully sports direct will have a discount code floating around

Well, no. BF offers are going online on 16 Nov as confirmed by the banner on the paged linked by the OP. That said, no one can guarantee your item is going to be cheaper or even still discounted in two days.

That's what I thought but it's allowing me to buy at the reduced price right now, this is from right under the banner:

Amazon have such offers every day, they just rebranded them to lure more customers. If you are happy with the current price, why not pull the trigger now and check the price again in two days? If it gets better you can always refuse the delivery of the first one or even cancel the purchase if it's not been shipped by then.

If it's cheaper in two days, Amazon will refund difference if you ask nicely.

I wouldn't be as brazen as that! But asking nicely might work as givecredit says.

Worked for Amazon years ago, there used by a policy that if you bought something and it changed price very close to when you purchased they'd refund the difference or apply a gift card. But it wasn't automatic back then (this is 10 years ago)

I believe they changed policy on refunding difference recently, they now say to return the item you bought at higher price and place new order at lower price

That's my experience recently when I tried to get a refund of the difference

Do they have decent warehouse discounts during Black Friday sales?

TheChizler

Today was a bad day for the wallet. Darn you OP!

Aye.

The extra 20% off warehouse stuff is the one to go for....if they do it again!

They select the boxes to suit the van is what I've heard.
So if the boxes are fit tight into the van, nothing can move and be damaged.

I have had a look at our local Amazon.de in anticipation of this again but the prices seem off the wall for anything I looked at this time even with 20% off

Honor 9 lite is now £120.
Great budget phone with Face ID and fingerprint sensor on back. I bought two previously. One for my son and one for mother in law.
Great for the money.

They haven't been doing this in a while now. They tell you to buy the cheaper one and refuse delivery of the first one.
