Online Black Friday Shopping Tips & Tricks Help Shoppers Get Deals at Home

MILWAUKEE, Nov. 23, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Retailers are threatening to make Thanksgiving a shopping holiday with earlier start times for their Black Friday sales this year. Shoppers are resisting and more than ever will be going online to do their Black Friday shopping. GottaDeal.com, having covered Black Friday online since 2003, offers tips to their visitors for getting the most deals when shopping online this week.

"More Black Friday deals than ever will be available online this year, even the most popular doorbuster specials," says Brad Olson, Owner of GottaDeal.com. "We're telling our visitors that if they don't want to shop in stores all night long, they can get the exact same deals from the comfort of their home."

GottaDeal.com acquires leaked copies of Black Friday ads from major retailers. "The extra time allows our visitors to research products, compare prices, and come up with a plan of attack for the big day, whether they are shopping online or in stores," says Mr. Olson.

The site offers a comprehensive "Online Black Friday Tracker" which provides a schedule of when the online Black Friday sales start for each retailer, as well as a listing of sale items that can be ordered online at any given moment. In addition to this tracker, the site features a dedicated online Black Friday message board where visitors can discuss the sales, ask questions of the experts on the site and post what deals they are finding.

In addition to using the tools available on the site, GottaDeal.com offers additional tips:

"Prepare your online retailer accounts - Go to each website for stores you plan to shop at this week and make sure your shipping and billing addresses are up to date. Also make sure your credit card information is saved to your account."

"Be aware of free shipping offers - One of the best parts of online Black Friday shopping is getting your items shipped for free. Each retailer has a different shipping policy - some, such as Best Buy, offer free shipping on absolutely everything. For other stores, there is usually an order total threshold that you must reach to get free shipping."
