Amazon UK has its best Black Friday ever

Amazon is the largest retailing stores and it is one of the largest retail store chain operators in the country and the world respectively. Amazon knows how to keep its customers content with providing the best quality products at cheaper prices when compared to its peers and competitors such as Wal-Mart, EBay etc. Prior to the massive shopping holiday season that is Black Friday and Thanksgiving, Amazon starts its massive holiday sales a week before Black Friday. Hence, the online super retailer is sliding ahead of the competition when compared to EBay and Wal-Mart.

On record, Amazon UK had its busiest day following Black Friday holiday sales festival. The company said “Black Friday was the busiest day on record for online retailer Amazon UK, with sales that surpassed all expectations.” The website of the company recorded orders for more than 5.5 million goods. Hence it is believed that the company sold around 64 items per second. The company believes that the appetite for public at Black Friday was bigger than ever and it was the busiest day to date for the company. Last year's Black Friday was also a record day for Amazon when it sold more than 4 million items.
Xavier Garambois is the vice president of EU retail at Amazon who believed that “Ever since we introduced Black Friday to the UK in 2010, sales have increased year-on-year but this year really has surpassed all of our expectations. The public's appetite for Black Friday has been bigger than ever, kicking off the Christmas shopping period in earnest and establishing Black Friday as a fixture on the UK Christmas shopping calendar.”
Whatsoever, this has gone as the best business day in the history of the company. Selling 64 items per second is exceptional and the company believes that it will keep up the good work following Cyber Monday and the normal business days as well.
