It’s Black Friday month and John Lewis has got a head start with some of the best deals on tech, beauty and clothing. From hundreds of pounds off Philips smart TVs to major discounts on Dyson vacuum cleaners, the retail giant is practically spilling over with great offers.

But how do you spot the genuine deal from the dud? Well, the answer is – you don’t. Instead, you let us do it for you.

Here at RadioTimes.com, we’re proficient at spotting the very best discounts, and are always committed to finding you that perfect needle in the haystack, whether that’s a high-tech smart watch or a simple heated blanket.

Across November, we put together dozens of guides like this based around specific products, like the best printer Black Friday deals and best Nintendo Switch deals, and specific brands, like Sky’s Black Friday deals and the best Ring Black Friday offers.

This time around, we’ve waded through all of John Lewis’s top offers and rounded up our favourites. As the month goes on, we’ll be updating this with more offers because, remember, you might not find the best deal straight away.

So let’s dive right in!

How long is the John Lewis Black Friday sale?

John Lewis’ Black Friday sale is running all month long. It began on 1st November and will finish up on Monday, 27th November – otherwise known as Cyber Monday.

The good thing about them going early is you’re able to take your time and browse deals. But the bad thing is, we don’t know when the very best deals will run. We can’t guarantee the best offers will run on real Black Friday, so make sure you pop back into this article throughout the month to see if there’s anything you fancy.

Do John Lewis still do their price match guarantee?

John Lewis no longer accepts price match claims for items bought at other retailers. Before, if you could prove another retailer was selling an item for less, you could claim a partial refund from all John Lewis stores.

However, you can get a partial refund if the item you bought has since been reduced at John Lewis itself. So, if you buy a piece of technology in store and see it’s been lowered in price within 35 days of purchase, you can submit a price drop claim and get some money back.

How to get John Lewis free next-day delivery during Black Friday

During this sales period, you can get free next-day Click and Collect for orders over £30. But for free next-day delivery, you’ll need to spend over £50.
