Where to look for discounts on black Friday in the US and Europe
For Americans, Black Friday has traditionally been associated with the best buys all year. Many even take a day off to be able to acquire the best products. Even if we live in Ukraine, nobody forbids to make purchases from the US or Europe.
You only need to take care of a few things: don’t forget about the time difference, to consider the supply and not to forget about taxes.
Time difference: the time zone of Kiev is UTC/GMT +2, and new York is UTC/GMT-5, so the difference is +7 hours. Not to miss the beginning of the sale — set the timer in advance and make a list of stores where you can shop. The same applies to European countries, depending on the country the time zone will change.
Shipping: not all stores offer delivery of goods to Ukraine. But if I suggest, consider the price. Sometimes it can be more expensive than your purchased item. If you have friends who live in the US or Europe — do not hesitate to ask for help. If this is not possible — you have to use one of the international delivery services.
Taxes: currently the state allows Ukrainians to order abroad, without additional tax payments of goods worth not more than 150 euros. If the parcel is worth more than 150 EUR you have to pay duty and value added tax. We had discussions around limiting the number of transactions to three per month. That is, for the fourth purchase tax will amount to 20%. But until that happens to buy up to 150 Euro with a clear conscience unlimited number of times. In case of excess amount — also do shopping as you like, but it will be already necessary to pay the state.
