When it comes to Black Friday events John Lewis’s deals are among the best in the UK as they push everything from TVs to laptops, to toys and tech.
John Lewis’ Black Friday event kicked off on Friday, 22nd November – a week early. The main event is today (29th November), followed swiftly by Cyber Monday on 2nd December.
The department store’s Never Knowingly Undersold policy means it checks its prices constantly comparing them to its competitors – which is great on Black Friday when there are so many deals to sift through. There’s also a two-year guarantee on most products at John Lewis and five years on TVs, which adds value when you match up the price to other brands.
You can save £100 on the Samsung Galaxy Watch, down to only £199, and the Dyson V8 Animal Complete Cordless Vacuum Cleaner was £399 now £299. The Beko Freestanding Washing Machine plus a two-year guarantee was £289, now £239.
TV wise the Samsung The Frame is down to £999, for a 2019 459″ TV with a five year guarantee that’s a great saving. There’s also the Sony Bravia OLED 4K Ultra TV (2019) for £1,299.
Last year, John Lewis broke its sales record over the Black Friday period with a 7.7% increase year on year, and we’re sure it’s aiming to beat that this year (that’s before we even get to John Lewis’ Cyber Monday deals). So what do you need to know?

While other stores may have cheaper offers they won’t have a five-year warranty, which is worth taking into account.

Does John Lewis do delivery?
While John Lewis has the ‘Never Knowingly Undersold’ policy it doesn’t include delivery so remember to check competitors’ prices if they include delivery as you may be able to match the price. For the larger items it’s likely John Lewis is still your best bet, but for smaller products, it’s worth hunting around. You may also be able to click and collect so double check before buying.
If you’re visiting the store John Lewis says “do check if you’re visiting your nearest John Lewis & Partners and we’ll honour our online price in each case if the price has gone down.”
Also, remember to check you’re looking at identical products, its promise is only valid when it’s like-for-like.
