Weekly black Friday deals

Following the announcement that Game will run a full month of Black Friday deals in 2020, the retail giant promises to provide an even better customer experience this year, such as expanding its partnership with Uber Eats, increasing staffing, and offering its “1 Cent Price Surprise” on all Black Friday purchases.

Game’s weekly deals has been running from 2 November until 29 November, with each offering different deals.

The partnership with Uber Eats, which was launched during lockdown level 5 to deliver essential goods exclusively, will be expanded for the month to include small electronics and home office essentials.

Consumers can expect a delivery time of 10 to 14 days on all Black Friday orders, with the delivery fee being capped at R90 – with the exception of additional large items (such as fridges) added to an order, which will carry a R70 surcharge per item, per order.

Andrew Stein, Vice President of Game, says: “We are doing Black Friday differently this year, and savvy consumers will have to do the same.

“As a responsible retailer, we do not want to encourage our shoppers to flock to stores at midnight.

“Having the deals run weekly means more South Africans will be able to access our unbeatable deals in a way that is both safe and convenient.

“However, it is important that consumers are aware that these deals will only run for the week in which they are announced. When these deals are gone, they’re gone.

“While many consumers will choose to shop online, those visiting our stores can rest assured that all the necessary protocols will continue to be followed – including sanitising stations, social distancing measures, and the requirement for all staff and shoppers to keep their masks on at all times.”

Game will also run Cyber Monday deals on Monday 30 November, these will run exclusively online.
